If today is Kevin Maher’s last game as #southendunited boss, then people need to remember how he has led Blues into the play-offs and Wembley twice fighting utter chaos: points deductions, transfer embargos, financial meltdown and almost extinction. Be careful what you wish for…
Having been very fortunate to preview this unbelievable body of work I can say that it will prove invaluable to all @SUFCRootsHall history buffs and fans. It’s an anorak’s paradise. You’re in for a treat 💙🦐⚽️
Agreed 👍 Despite all of the ambitious spin coming out of the club it feels like we are doing it on the cheap this season. If @SUFCRootsHall is skint, that’s absolutely fine, but just come out and be honest about it. Don’t mug the fans off, we’ve had plenty of that in the past.
We have ridden our luck so much this season, but it finally ran out today. Terrible team selection & zero intensity from @SUFCRootsHall. You don’t need to be a computer whizz to calculate we are desperate for a horrible centre-half, ball-winning midfielder & a proven goalscorer.
Nine changes, no recognised striker, team of midgets, forget Goliath, this is David against David 🏆🍌🍌🍌⚽️ @SUFCRootsHall #shrimpers @BerkoFC #FACup #properfootball
And an away end full of purple 7Up shirts at Barnsley the following Saturday 💜💙⚽️ #southendunited #fiorentina
Another nail in the coffin for the rapid decline of Leigh-on-Sea’s Broadway. You’ve just got to love the way they have covered up the word ‘vape’ on their signage 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ #leighonsea @LeighOnSeacom
Huge credit to @AFCFylde for playing their part in a very entertaining game today 🙌🙌🙌 They are the best side to visit @SUFCRootsHall this season and will take a lot of points from other teams this year. Was particularly impressed with Will Lancaster, who looks a top player👌

COSU seriously need to come to the table now. Supposed transfer budget, 6 pts off top, beaten twice at home already & endlessly signing inexperienced kids on short term loans.
Today is the 1st time we can remember conceding 4 at home in the league since chesterfield 5 years ago
🇮🇹 Ciao, Ephraim!
We're delighted to announce the arrival of Bristol City forward Ephraim Yeboah on an initial 28-day loan deal.

First @SUFCRootsHall game, latest game, same spot, 11 years apart 💙🦐🧀⚽️ #southendunited #shrimpers #cheeseblock #wearebarrow #nationalleague #properfootball #fatherandson
Kieron Dyer reveals all about the guardian angel guiding his team’s promotion charge at @SUFCRootsHall in tomorrow’s @MirrorSport 🦐😇⚽️ #southendunited #shrimpers #nationalleague #properfootball
Watching this gives you goosebumps. Another unbelievable achievement from @SUEPAssoc 🦐💙⚽️💪🙌🙌🙌
Confirmed attendance at Gateshead was a paltry 831. Did we outnumber them yesterday? Unbelievable effort if we did, with @SUFCRootsHall fans clocking up a mere 1,300 miles over the last two Saturdays 🦐💙⚽️💪

Almost 3 years to the day since we shut the town down, marching from the pier to the ground for our club’s survival. Yet today we’re winning 6-1 away from home & sit 2nd in the table.
Still in the National League, but still very much alive & kicking.
