Best Single MOMENT this season:

[South Bank Hank]

Okay so...

NOT the defining moment.
NOT any particular game.

Vote for the best SINGLE MOMENT this season, the moment you almost wet yourself, the moment you almost cried/burst/creamed/exploded, the moment when being a Southend United supporter was the best feeling in the world.

For me, it was the moment when Drewe put the ball away to put us in the driving seat at home to Col U.  That moment for me is the highlight of the year.

For me it's got to be the last few seconds of the Colchester match when everyone reliased we were actually going to Cardiff!

Drew's goal was mental and i will never forget the noise for as long as i live, even if he is a sh*te player.

 

[South Bank Hank]

Erm...

My apologies to Mark Gower for saying "the third rolls in against Darlington". As I recall, that's not quite what happened.

Stopping en route to Cardiff at the service station on the M4 and seeing nothing but Blues fans

between three for me. Drewe's goal, final whistle at Roots Hall or (probably with bias as it was more recent) Gower's belter vs Darlo. First two self-explanatory. Gower's goal showed how far we've come under Tilly and Brush. Went down to a couple of unlucky goals and to an undeserved deficit but had the heart to come back. If we push on next season, Gower's goal will be something of a defining moment for me.

Has to be the moments just before and after the final whistle vs Col U at home. Everyone gatherered at the front of the South Upper, people who had supported Southend through thick and thin (mostly thick) for decades. Absolutely unreal.

You can't buy that and I know cos' I've tried to lots of times.

The Shrimpers afterwards was a happy place to be.

Perhaps your point is illustrated by my friend who I dragged along. It wasn't til after a good hour in the Plough that he finally realised it was the regional final and we were on our way to Cardiff.

What about losing 2-0 to Lincoln at home, that was out of this world.

 

[sufcintheprem]

Ever since some dude posted on Rivals describing Bramble as out of this world, the term doesn't really hold much meaning for me anymore!

 

[Fat Bastid]

Walking up the stairs to enter the actual stadium was a moment for me!

I just stood there, speechless thinking to myself "Are we worthy!"  That moment will be etched on my mind forever.

A very close second is the moment that the final whistle blew at RH in the Area Final!  

Wow! What a season we have had!

Jay's winner against Canvey for me. Down to 10 men against the pikey in the greatest cup competition in the World.

Ok, second greatest. I forgot the LDV there for a second

Second would have to be the final whistle against Colchester though.

Can I just ask what replay ?

 

[overseas shrimper]

Taking our seat on the plane, I looked at Mrs. OS with a lump in my throat (thinking about it now does the same thing) and saying 'f**k me... we're going to Cardiff to watch Southend!'

Taking off, I also thought to myself: 'It would be just my bloody luck if we were to crash!'

No you can't. In the same way that you can't ask what happened to the other two players against Swansea

A toss up between the atmosphere at the final whistle in the SECOND LEG of the final vs Col Ewe or driving down the M4 amongst a sea of blue and stopping at two service stations full of Blues coaches, minibuses and cars.

Maher's inch perfect curler on Tuesday (fantastic vision) has to rate a close third. You all thought it was a shot. ;)

No, we thought it was a cross.

Indeed. The missing players v. Swansea was part of the whole point. The mention of "replay" - well, fair point, well made. I know what I meant and I guess so did you.

For me it has to be standing in the Millenium Stadium watching the mighty Shrimpers lined up, and 20,000 Southend fans singing the National Anthem. Did that really happen or am dreaming?
