    Elephants never forget

    While on holiday in Kenya and walking through the bush a man comes across an elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seems distressed so the man approaches very carefully. He gets down on one knee and inspects the bottom of the elephant's foot only to find a large...

  5. Games you've missed

    ..and reasons why. (it can be 100 if you want it to ) As it's transfer deadline day and absolutely nothing will happen, us Blues fans have to look to other means to fill out time on message boards. Therefore:- All this `David Crown's winner against Wigan' fave goal recollections...

  6. Trains to palace

    I don't finish work until 5, so wont get the the train station until 5:15. QJump.com reckons i'll get there at 19:48, at Thornton Heath, which also entails a 10 minute walk to the ground. Anyone else leaving late to get the Palace, just wondering if its worth it as will be travlling...

  7. Kevin Maher

    I'm afraid to say our captain was outclassed by Sean Thornton today. Kev took too long on the ball consistently, was dispossessed far too often, and he wouldn't put a foot in around the midfield and against players like Thornton you'll never win the ball back without making a real...

  8. Man of the Match v.s Barnsley

    Personally, Marky Gower today. Tracked back on any loose balls, and was very defensive minded today, as well as attacking. A great all round performance today, and certainly an improvement from the last few games, and a goal. I think Goater was a close second, he may not be fast, but his...

    Doncaster

    crikey! This played in a team that got Sunderland promoted to the Prem, did a terrible rap in the dressing room afterwards and now he's dropped into League 1. Doncaster Rovers have broken their transfer record to sign Sunderland midfielder Sean Thornton. Rovers have paid £175,000 for the...

    I relied on my trusty Sat Nav system to get me to the ground (despite my C********r adventure) and got there at 2:00 having set off from Leigh at 11:30 (petrol stop en route).  Not bad. Having nabbed the parking space next to the away entrance (and reversed in, making for a quick getaway) we...

    The fbm view and ratings

    I learnt at a very early age that Southend always blow it in front of a big crowd. I had persuaded myself that today would be an exception. Sadly, over 7000 witnessed that fact that it wasn’t. Today, the atmosphere seemed subdued. I said to my mate before kick off that the players needed to...

    The fbm view and ratings

    Saturday August 24 1996 was one of my most depressing days as a Blues supporter since 1969. We were unceremoniously thumped 5-0 at Oxford's Manor Ground in what was one of the most uncommitted and pathetic displays I have ever seen from a Southend team. Fences were still up and I think the...
