Can you imagine the years of hatred and recriminations if we did to Southend what we did to Oxford? Being thinking about that prospect for many months and it’s not one I like. when we play them I want us to win, win big. But I don’t like the thought that it could be the game that sends them down. Hopefully by then they will be safe. If not, then gone. But I don’t want us to hammer the final nail in. Only a bunch of absolute morons would “blame” the final team they play in the season for the reason they were relegated. Had more than 40 games to stay up, the one that sends you down isn’t to blame in isolation.

Even though you feel bad when they beat us,it is a good day out and the home game is great.Great when we beat them.

No I don't get any pleasure out of Southend being relegated.

This is rubbish. Grimsby already have 31 points and Southend 32

No one is suggesting that if they go down it’s because of that one game. We ALL know that it’s not. I agree, no sense to even suggest that. Has anybody? Don’t think so. But their comes a point when relegation is finally confirmed. That game that makes escape mathematically impossible. Would sooner that not being against us. Not complex.

On the "it's all my doing" thread, the people/relatives who bought and sent me the Orient replica shirt are all Southend fans, they live in Eastwood. They have a black humour sense about what's been going on behind the scenes at Roots Hall, it's kind of reminiscent of our days under Becc...... (Ugh, can't say his name). I don't envy them that. Like many of us, there's nobody I enjoy beating more but I'd hate to see them consigned to the NL.

The strongest point you made was that anyone that who has a view with which you do not agree are "Only a bunch of absolute morons..." Is that really what you think? My point was that anyone who holds a grudge against a single club as they happened to be the club who confirmed relegation is a moron. And I stand by that view. I presume you disagree?

Just what is going on at Roots Hall? It seems to have been going on for a long time.Southend United have tremendous potential to be a championship club or even in the top flight,a large catchment area and lot's of wealth within. I did some work in their ground a few years back,still there solid as a rock.

I do disagree, people can think how they wish without being called a moron. Truth is, you are the ignorant moron, it didn't take you long. You can respond if you wish, l've blacklisted you so I won't be listening.

Got to admit fisch, I ignored that comment from PW. We all know that sort of language for what it’s worth. Sounds like an attempt to make us like the dark side. As for me, I don’t really care what he thinks until he starts to act in a better way. Shame.

Recent video by a Shrimpers' fan. Saw that earlier. Powerful. A story fans can understand irrespective of club loyalties. Bloody sad. if they do go down, they have plenty of examples of clubs who have bounced back, better than before.

I know I'm a bit of a snowflake and I have to realise that a room full of people is going to contain one or two who will rub me up the wrong way. In the end, Mungo has made and maintained a place here where normal (aka: polite) people can engage with each other, have a laugh, engage in some banter and talk bolox about football as if we really know what we are talking about. The dark side was like that back in the days of Doug, Norbertdentressangle, Buono, Constanza and the rest but, like many, it became toxic and unenjoyable for precious souls like meself so we just lost interest and drifted away.
