Southend in Dreamland!
By: Nick | November 8th, 2006
As we United fan’s shrug our shoulders after last night’s exit from the often derided “Mickey Mouse Cup” - spare a thought for the obvious delight Southend United fans are feeling today (witness the smile on the fella to the left!).
Listening to the BBC’s 606 call in show today, I heard a delightful story from a father, who’s son couldn’t wait to wear his Southend shirt to school today amongst the kid’s usual collection of Premier League club shirts. The family even planned on framing the match program!
Once again the beauty of the game came through. Despite the gap in celebrity and wages between both teams - it meant nothing on the night. Cup games in football are a great leveler, and each season there is a great “giant killing”. Props to Southend.
Fergie is taking the defeat in his stride… Personally, after hearing of Mohamed Sissoko’s injury for Liverpool tonight - I’m just glad we didn’t lose an influencial player to a competition that ranks lowest on most clubs’ agendas.
