Superstitious fans

Category: Southend United | Comments Off | Trackback

On the shrimper group on Yahoo, Martin writes: It’s well documented that many players have superstitions that they follow before a game and it’s just the same for supporters. However this season has presented quite a problem in that, until recently, our results have not reflected the care with which I’ve been making my offerings [...]

Oy! Reds!

Category: Football, Southend United | 5 Comments | Trackback

The only astonishing part of Freddy Eastwood‘s “wonder goal” / “lucky goal” / “fluke” in the Carling Cup fourth round tie is that he scored it against Manchester United. He scored a beauty for us in February. [One of many, I should add. It's just that I've not blogged about most of them.] He has [...]

The point of summer

Category: Southend United | Comments Off | Trackback
