So they'll have 10 years without a roof on their ground? I guess they've got previous........

Yeah I can't really work out what they are talking about. You'd have to take the roof(s) off or something. They will be very limited for space on that site as well, especially as they are still planning on sticking a supermarket there as well.

Exactly. I don't think the football world really picked up on the significance of our takeover. Was the Notts County person on there?

It's quite funny playing 'guess who's taking this seriously' though.

Is Thomas fit again now?

Rule 1.

I'm not even sure that this league is more physical. In relation to the skill level, yes, but not in general. As soon as one of our players tries to throw his weight about he gets a free kick given against him.

And then he shut the corner. I agree that a couple of years ago the Itchen corner was good. I sat there a few times, and I'd have chosen a season ticket there this year if the corner was still open. As it is, it's a shadow of its former self.

What wing does he play on.

This is Southend's 4th Friday night home match so far this season, which suggests it is pretty much a regular occurrence. They have only played 2 home games on a Saturday.

Do you have to name seven subs, or can you name up to seven substitutes? Bournemouth only had three players on the bench on Saturday. That was due to injuries, but I'm sure if they had to name seven they could have drafted a few youth teamers in.

I was very confused, as I was sure they said we had Gary Breen on the bench. Thought we had a sneaky new signing.

To be honest, it would be helpful if the club could give a bit more information on what exactly they are trying to achieve here. What they've done seems a bit half-arsed, you either close the section or you don't.

Do no other grounds have exec boxes behind the away fans? I thought there were a few that did. What do the other clubs with similar stadiums to us do?

Very out of order.

There are plenty of other places for them to go.

I've got a funny feeling that's just the way Lambert plays. If you look at all the youtube vids of his goals when he played for Rovers, most of them are from a long way out.

Where was that confirmed? It's showing as a goal by Waigo on the BBC, Soccerbase, Football 365 etc.

Their first goal came from a bit of a dodgy decision as well, when the ref gave a free kick and booked Hammond for diving. We switched off for a few seconds there.

Last night in the fourth minute of injury time one of our players broke into their area and went down. Couldn't see who it was, as I was at the other end. Our players were insistent that it was a penalty. 30 seconds later they scored their winner. How different things could have been.......

Both goals last night were from open play. Maybe we can go back to moaning about not scoring from set pieces now.

I couldn't give a sh!t.

They must have changed the picture. I clicked the link and saw Bart.

Wait til 5.10 Wednesday morning and you could get back to Victoria on the Greyhound for £4.30.
