Hey now, hey now.....

[Jehovah]

Feel thoroughly depressed. I think I secretly held hope we might make some incredible resurgence and the pain of this season would be payment for a flukey promotion. Now it's all over and we are still trapped in this bastard league. For the love of a thousand bastards why can't we get out.

without billy we'd have been relegated

Billy seems to be the only one who has any pride in the shirt. To be honest it seems it doesn't mean very much to the others

So Sharp missed a chance and Adams missed a chance. Do we take into account the half dozen great chances Southend had or don't they matter?

We were second best for long periods tonight and were outdone/outthought by a better, stronger, faster and more intelligent side with (and it makes me gag to say it) a more tactically astute manager

Gag away. It's time for a gagfest.

Out played, out paced and out muscled

I guess I should add, "out thought" or "out managed" as well

 

[lingsbord]

Grappler could you add "Out Nigel" ??

At one point, the Sky commentators were saying "great defending by Billy Sharp", yep, Billy was at the back helping, and trying to be a midfielder and a striker.

Let's face it, Billy IS the team, he has more guts, heart and passion than the rest combined.

First half when he got across the man to see the ball out?

Done was either injured or knackered and Billy was covering.

It.was.great.defending.

Bladesman how you can blame us loosing that match on billy is beyond me? Yes he missed a chance yes he was one on one with the keep yes maybe he should have done a bit better with it but he is the only one out there week in week out working his socks off and putting his all into every game.
Did you forget about the other shots he had that forced the keeper into very good saves? Or don't they matter?
Sharp has done nothing but show passion and determination this season and Incase you didn't realise he is also our top goal scorer on 17 goals. He is all over the pitch as some one has already mentioned even the sky commentators picked up on this when he was back defending and they picked up on it saying brilliant defending there for a striker. He saw that Matt done was injured and was struggling after he come off the pitch and hit the billboard so he got back in order to cover for him. He covers more pitch than most of the rest of the team combined,

But feel free to keep slagging him off all you want but with out him we would be in a world of shit this season.

He does work his socks off but that chance partly cost us the match tonight. Like I said Adams should have put his chance away as well.

In my wildest nightmares I never thought we would be waxing lyrical about Southend United outplaying and out thinking us. I guess my memory is way too long.

It's so depressing having to go to the remaining home games wi nowt to play for and to listen to the attendance announcement spurting 19,000 when there's only 16-17,000 int ground....... (Sponsored by lying twats toilet doors)

 

[biggey blade]

Bladesman I don't see how one chance can lead to him been the reason we have lost the match he had loads of over good shots that he made himself out of nothing and forced the keeper into a couple of good saves. One of the could have quite easily gone in on another day but no he cost us the match that's right you pin it down on one player or 2 players. Probably the 2 that showed the most skill out there today.
