The Times, Sunday Times and Telegraph now seem to
require registration to view articles on their sites, with the
Times and Sunday Times charging readers outside the UK. The
Times/Sunday Times has also moved some of the older articles into
an archive which requires separate registration and requires you to
pay to access the content. The Independent now charges for access
to articles more than a week old.
Southend miss a chance and Luton deal with trouble off the
pitch, writes Jason Tomas
If any Championship match should have been avoided by those of a
nervous disposition, it was the relegation battle between Southend
and Leeds
Southend, who lifted themselves out of the relegation zone with
their midweek 1-0 win over Burnley, put themselves in a strong
position to improve their position further when they established a
1-0 half-time lead. But Leeds snatched an equaliser two minutes
from the end - a goal that put the Shrimpers back in the relegation

second half and Leeds' increasingly desperate pressure finally paid
off with a goal for David Healy.
