Crewe Fan in Peace

[Paul Blakeman]

Just to say a quick thank you for a great game on Sunday. Despite living in Paris, I made the trip over for the game and I felt you guys gave us a real go. I always knew it wouldn't be easy despite the gap in league places. Also it was a clear foul on Mohsni for our 2nd goal and, although I feel Crewe ran out deserved winners, that was a game changer.

Just found this great match report from a Southend fan, worth checking it out - http://www.ignitethenite.co.uk/a-tale-of-two-cities-work-with-me-here/

Good luck in your late surge for the playoffs!

Good on you mate. You guys were the better team on the day. Enjoy the victory.

Have to agree with you both - the consensus on here is that Crewe deserved it - We have a couple of what ifs to talk about for us but at the end of the day the best team won.
Good luck to you & maybe we can get ourselves up next year.

Fair play to you and thanks for stopping by. Despite a mild dislike for Crewe (due to being our nemesis this past two seasons) I think a lot of Blues fans wish our club was like yours, hopefully one day our youth system will mean we can enjoy seeing graduates in our first team, at least for a couple of seasons before they get taken by bigger boys. I hope one day we can have that sort of youth system.

Crewe played some good stuff and deservedly won. I thought we should have at least got one goal though.

Erm, call me Mr Suspicious-Pants, but that rather Crewe-biased report from a 'Southend fan' Paul gave us a link to seems a bit suspect to me, particularly as the photo's accompanying it were obviously taken from the Crewe section of the crowd!

Even the reference to his 'even more beloved Arsenal' sounds like a lightly veiled dig of the type we often have to put up with from those who think most of our fans really support bigger London clubs.

Yes, I smell a rather large northern rat!!

But anyway Paul, I agree you deserved the win overall, but what did you drug the ref with beforehand? or did you get photos of him in an uncompromising position with a bevy of dusky ladyboys?

I know Alex and he is indeed a Shrimper, albeit via Arsenal. (I believe his cousing is Rob Hyams, currently waiting to hear whether he will be awarded a professional contract next season). I understand he had hospitality on the day, hence the photos appearing to be in the Crewe End.
