Not the sharpest tools in the box are they?

Southend a $%&* Hole. They obviuosly walk around Southampton with there eyes closed.

So a chorus of your not famous anymore should go down well.

Last year I went down to Southampton a couple of times cos I knew a few students down there and I erally wouldn't much want to visit some of the places again, particularly the pub where I watched the Man U Arsenal game.

Best thing is that I still have plenty of contacts who worked in Portsmouth and supported Southampton and I'll be sure to pass on my best regards to them should they do anything other than beat us comfortably.

Shotgun England superstar Crouchy plays. That would make my day!

I was hoping for QPR at home, memories of that night in the LDV when they were flying in the league and we couldn't hit a barn door.

They had 2000 fans at the start, only about 20 at the final whistle  

But hey, what a turn up. Can we win? Of course we can !
Our luck on TV has changed in the last few games as well  

Can't wait for the season to begin !

Buy them in advance from the Official Site, to make sure

Great draw, best we could have had considering the Prem teams aren't in the 1st round, but I'M ON HOLIDAY

I'll have to watch it on TV because they have SKY at Centre Parcs, would love to be there though should be a sell out. I was hoping we'd get Carlisle away or a rubbish draw like that. Oh well it's a good tie for the club, £50,000 that could buy a good player.

 

[Hambone]

We couldn't have got Carlisle away cos the first round draw is split into northern and southern teams.

From one Saints fan "southend is a $%&*hole, watched one of them fly on the wall police thingys a while back and the OB were in southend.... chavtastic, fights everywhere and one women laying into her partner, he just let her hit him and when she got no reaction from him.... she bit his EAR off?".

I think we should prove him wrong, by showing him how great Southend is, and how it's team is even greater! Let's break this deadlock of not winning in the league cup this century! Up the blues!

That's the damn 'Drunk and Disorderly' programme he's talking about, completely ruined the town's reputation

There was another one I seem to remember on BBC Three about Southend's pirate radio scene which made the town look awful also.

 

[Guest]

There was another one too, was about bailiff's.

Can't recall what the name was but it kept going between London and Southend.

Maybe we should send them a copy of Essex Boys

I know that Southend isn't like that every night and everywhere you go but you have to remember that they didn't falsify film. It happened, it was caught on camera and of course they are going toshow it because it is sensationalist television.

Besides, I'm not sure how much of a reputation we had before the programmes....

 

[Guest]

The camera's could go around Southend on a Friday night and see hundred's of people havin a good night out.

They film a couple of idiot's trying to cave each other's face's in and that is what will be shown on the TV.

Sad but true.
