Exclamation Southend Dump The Red Devils Out Of L.Cup!!

Southend 1 - Manchester Utd 0

Surely one of the biggest cup shocks in recent years!

Well done the Shrimpers for a great performance!

I am pretty sure Mr Eastwood will be attracting a few admirers in the Prem

Re: Southend Dump The Red Devils Out Of L.Cup!!

Their keeper was phenomenal, seriously.

Actually not bothered, it means more focus on the Prem, FA Cup and Champs league.

Re: Southend Dump The Red Devils Out Of L.Cup!!

yeah congrats southend!
I am a Liverpool fan, and I got loads of stick when we got knocked out by Burnley.... but we fielded about 2 internationals and 9 kids in that game... Having over 50 million pounds worth of players up against a team bottom of the championship and coming away with a defeat is embarassing..... happy anniversary Fergie

Re: Southend Dump The Red Devils Out Of L.Cup!!

What a refreshing change to see the manager (in this case Alex Ferguson) congratulate the other team in the interviews without whining about refereeing, state of the pitch, etc, etc....

Well done Southend,

Well done United for being great sports.

Re: Southend Dump The Red Devils Out Of L.Cup!!

Agree on the sportsmanship but, without wishing to be a cynic, would he be quite so gracious if knocked out of the Champions League by the likes of Basle, or Hapoel Tel Aviv, for example?!

In all seriousness Fergie is normally willing to give a lot of credit to lower league teams, whether they win, lose or draw... he always tends to give us credit, but then again they often spank us about 4-0 so that's to be taken with a grain of salt

Well done to Southend - maybe they can start the climb up the Championship after that result

Well done Southend,

Well done United for being great sports.
It is refreshing actually. In particular as Fergie was king of the whingers for many years. Every time they even dropped a point in the late 90's he was demanding the ref be dropped from the Old Trafford rota.

As someone said, I doubt very much he would have been as 'big hearted' had it been Chelsea, Arsenal, or God forbid Man City or Liverpool!

It also has a smack of being patronising. "Well, we lost, but hey give the 'little guy' credit".

Re: Southend Dump The Red Devils Out Of L.Cup!!

You'll probably never see me coment here again as i tend to keep footie to myself.

But as last I can shout Southend Southend. Problem is everyone's gonna know about Freddy now and I just think the offers will fly in

Last time I felt like this was boxing day 91 or 92 when for a while we were technically top of the then division 2 and maybe we could end up with the big boys in the then top Div 1.

Oh and I live in Eastwood haha

Re: Southend Dump The Red Devils Out Of L.Cup!!

went to the game last night it was amazing! couldnt believe it when freddy scored, what an amazing goal aswell, if anyone has an independent bookmaker i highly recommend yous to put a wager on freddy eastwood to play for england one day, he is the essex rooney but with henrys skills, well played darryl last night great keeper could also make it in the premiership!
now if we can play like that throughout the rest of this season we will be alright! we easily match man utd in every department, even jamal cambell ryce (JCR) outplayed Ronaldo! well done southend looking forward to the next round already

EASY EASY EASY


DER, DER, DER-DER FREDDY EASTWOOD!

Well done to Southend though,played with heart,passion and loads of effort(and a tinsy bit of luck).With those ingredients you can be almost anyone.

Sir...I am deeply misunderstood by you and your cronies

If Chelsea and good sportsmanship had been mentioned in the same sentence, I would have the temerity to say exactly the same thing!
