I have been an arsenal fan since i was 6. To get a ticket for Arsenal is expensive and almost impossible. I had a dabble at watching southend during the Alvin Martin days but gave up until last season after much persuasion from my son I went to a few home games and went to Cardiff for the play off final. As anArsenal fan you can appreciate I am used to good pasing football and was impressed by Southends effort to pass the ball and also the excellent team spirit. We missed the Port Vale game but subsequently bought season tickets and we now really look forward to home games and thoroughly enjoy the whole thing. Arsenal played Ajax tonight, live on tV in one of Europes biggest games - but I cant imagine it came close to the 2nd half at Roots Hall - excellent character shown by Southend after playing so badly in the first half.
One point that wories me, people should realise that having gone up this will be a successful season if we stay up - fantastic seaosn if we finnish in the top half, so it does concern me that quite a few fans seem quick to get on the players backs when we aint playing well. Give em a chance guys, they cant play brilliantly every game so they need our encouragement when things aint happening -
Sorry for the long post but we are loving it.
Would I be tempting fate to say we have never seen a Southend defeat in all the games we have attended since Tillson took over?
