Wow - Belgrave scored a goal in a pre-season friendly. I think he should be invited back on double what he earned last time he was with us. Then he can fire us to League One by himself. Not against Crawley - phew![b said:Quote[/b] (Guest @ July 21 2004,15:42)]Lewes FC 2 Crawley 3
Another goal from Belgrave and he only come on secon half. At least he's gettin played up front there. Come On BAZZA!!!!
With exceptions Matt - I'm sure I wasn't alone among Southend fans in wishing the likes of Chrissy Powell and Sir Stanley well after they left the Hall. Always looked out for them and wanted them to do well.[b said:Quote[/b] (Matt the Shrimp @ July 21 2004,16:58)]In other words, once a player leaves our club, then one's feelings about that player should change - because he's an ex-player, because nothing he will do is likely to be for the benefit of Southend United.

But they're beloved old boys, rather than current team-members - so whilst I celebrate in their successes and comiserate in their downfalls, it is not done with the same intensity as it is for current Southend players... so, to a certain extent, my feelings have changed, even if they haven't changed much.
So ner.
Yup. And you love it.[b said:Quote[/b] (W4 Shrimper @ July 21 2004,18:08)]Pedantic *******[b said:Quote[/b] (Matt the Shrimp @ July 21 2004,17:20)]True enough, W4.

Any chance you can repeat that, but using the English language?[b said:Quote[/b] (Guest @ July 22 2004,00:06)]How can all you lot say stuff about bazza, he had his own chant n dont say you never sang it cos like flavs yesterday made a gr8 save n you all sang it then you all on here say his sh*t you are liers and need 2 make ur mind up

I suppose you're the sort of person who booed Emberson out of the club, for example?
I might have great reservations about Darryl as a keeper... I may have thought Belgrave was a lazy useless to**er... but I most definitely did NOT make those feelings evident at Roots Hall.
In fact, quite the opposite - I cheered for them, I chanted their names... because they are Southend players. If a player is out there, on the pitch, wearing the blue of Southend - then no matter who he is (*), I'll get behind him and sing his name to the heavens, because in fact, it's pretty irrelevant who the 11 individuals are that happen to be wearing the blue of Southend on any given afternoon.
At the end of the day, only one thing matters: and that is that Southend win.
Doesn't mean, however, that those players are exempt from criticism on these boards - indeed, it's precisely why we have these boards, so that we can debate, criticise and so on.
