    Time for changes! Tilson and Brush out!

    Not been on since last week, and having read through all these threads since then and including Saturday's game i'm even more keen for for Tilson and Brush to depart. I dont care what anyone says, we're heading down to league two. Tilson and Brush have taken us as far as they can. We need...

    defeat from the jaws of victory

    Just back, and do i feel depressed! The game was won by thier manager who didnt appear to be afraid to make tactical substitutions when things were'nt going right! The introduction of the giant striker was a stroke of genius that turned the game on its head and led to instant panic in the...

    The worst pain ever?

    Whats the worst pain you have ever experienced? Mine was taking up egg chasing at the age of 15, after realising my football career was never going to reach the dizzy hights of league prowiss, I found myself enjoying rugby and rather good at it. Anyway I got picked for my district side, and we...

    There may be another thread on this somewhere but I can't be bothered to trawl, and couldn't bring myself to come on here til this afternoon. Did anyone else notice Freddy storming down the tunnel straight after the final whistle had gone on Saturday? Now I like the guy, don't get me wrong, but...

    HATS OFF TO CURETON AS EWES THRASH SORRY SOUTHEND At 3pm today, the Southend team were completely fired up and ready to do battle with their Essex counterparts in an absolute must win game at Roots Hall. The only problem was that the match kicked off at 12:30. Unfortunately Southend had...

    TEN MAN BLUES SNATCH LATE POINT Southend battled against all odds to claim a precious point at Roots Hall today which will assist in the fight against relegation. It may be easy for some to see this as two points dropped but given the manner of last weeks defeat, the midweek furore, the fact...

    Not another post about how we need to get more loan players in to sit on the bench, but a post about our young players out on loan. I can't find a proper match report for Joel Ledgister's winner for Gravesend against the Shrimps of Morecambe (disappointing if only for the missed opportunity of...

  9. Norwich v Southend

    Carrow Road on Boxing Day will always be a bit special for me: it was there back in 1995 that I saw my first ever away win. Gary Jones crouching down at the far post to head in the orange ball at a snow covered Carrow Road. It was only my 27th away game. Sadly Blues' away form since we...

    Spurs vs Southend

    Today's Verdict

    I thought the first half was one of the worst i've seen this season, proper crap! It was just all hoofball and the times we gave the ball away, jeeeeees! Second half we perked up and played some better football. For me, too many players had off days. Sodje, Clarke, Hammell, Maher...

    Busy night for our ex-Shrimpers. In the third division: Matt Lockwood scored a hattrick as Orient came from 3-0 down - Mark Bentley scored Gills first (his second(?) of the season) and Duncan Jupp also played. Wayne "the new Pele" Gray scored for Yeovil. Michael Husbands scored...
