I'm listening to it whilst revising for my law exam tomorrow and it's making me even more depressed than the mound of cases I'm trying to remember. Also, that support is sh!t. I've heard louder at Roots Hall :D

 

[Pubey]

your loss orm, it's a really good game

Clear and Present Danger on Film4.

I bought a few goal minutes, including ronaldo and lampard so 33 quid up and hopefully more to come. And it ain't a bad game really

 

[steveo]

The divings getting worse though. You sure that isn't Barnard ?

 

[derek duvall]

Walker and some bird from the ticket office!

Pity he's not that aggressive in front of goal.

 

[Suomi Shrimper]

Us lefties like a bit of blue as much as the next man, thank you!

And it was a cracking game.

Then in football terms I'd suggest you're virtually brain dead. What wasn't to like about that game? Cracking stuff.

The teams? ;)

On a serious note it was a surprisingly good game. I was expecting a snooze-fest like the FA Cup final last year but I was pleasantly surprised. And it had one of the best penalty shoot-outs I've seen for quite some time!

 

[Uncle Leo]

Oh yeah. I'll give you that one :D

 

[TrueBlue]

Oh yeah. I'll give you that one :D

James Walkers been busy today

Why? We hardly ever play when the Champions league is on. The Champions league is a competition realistically available to four English teams, it shouldnt make any difference to Southend.

good point ORM my mate said at kick off 'this is great for english football' ...........bollox I said, ot godd for man u and chelsea and thats it, the champions league on the whole is a pile of krap, how you can finish fourth and entered into the CHAMPIONS league I have no idea, should be changed to league winners only and all drawn out of the hat, and you right about its effect on a club like ours you know that if the blues are playing the same night as liverpool on the box then the attendance is prob gonna be affected

What Southend game was there for me to watch last night? I love football and live on tv last night was the final of Europe's top club competition, played between two English clubs. In my view, pretty much compulsory viewing if you're a football fan.

Had I missed a Southend game in order to watch it, fair enough. But having an interest in the Champions League and supporting a lower league side such as Southend are not mutually exclusive.
