If you have been to any football match or seen one on the t.v then write about it and tell everyone what you think about your teams performance and about who played best and your man of the match.

I will start.

Southend 3-1 Colchester United 29th August League 1

I support southend (my name gives it away) and this was a local derby. Southend hadn't played them in awhile in the league, but have recently played in the L.D.V and Southend won.

Southend were strongest in my opinion and showed that by scoring 3 minutes into the game with Goater the scorer and Guttridge the provider. For the next 15mins it was even but southend still on top. On 18 mins Colchester scored through a long shot by Sam Stockley. Southend still on top. 29mins and a good run by Mitchell Cole 18 yard shot.
HalF Time 2-1 southend. Southend have dancers who preform at half time.

Second half.
Southend came out again lokking to make a 3rd and win the match but col u wanted to equalise (but they didn't ha.).Southend wanting to win in style brang on some fresh legs and hoping to score more. Goater got into the right postition and came up good and scored his second of the game in the 77minute. Chanting by the southend suporters FEED THE GOAT AND HE WILL SCORE. The goat was hungrey. Assist by Mark Bentley.

Full time.

Man of the match. Shaun Goater

We've got a fairly young team, too. Our oldest first team regular is Selley who's 30. The rest are almost all under 25.

Expect us to be a bunch of 15 year olds ;-)

Average age of our first team is ridiculously low. There's Peters, 33; Duncs, 28 and Angel, 29. The rest are < 21. r0x0r. Still they're doing the job more than adequately. We've always been excellent at producing young talent.

Expect us to be a bit better coming in to the match with you - we've just signed two players on loan. Both centre backs, one being Stuart Nethercott - an ex-England Under 21, the other being Luke Oliver, who was with us last season when we had one of the best defensive records in the league.

C'mon you Cards.

I was talking in match weeks. We're away at York and Exeter (d'oh) then it's back to the Abbey for you :-)

17th be our match, Rasta. Meaning its a bit more than 2 weeks.

Rawle was a bit pants in championship manager (Low determination, rarely turned up for training with me). Rawle was decent at the time I saw him, but he was getting played a lot in an attacking midfielder position as part of a 4-5-1. When he was in a 4-4-2 he was better, using his speed more and getting into scoring positions.
Then he said he was going to sign a new contract but forgot to say it would be at Oxford.

Two weeks, Ash :-)

Ahaha, pwnd Forest.

Anyway, yeah, he's come to Woking and should be playing fairly regularly for us. He played for you for a couple of seasons and scored quite a few, t'is why I asked.
