    Odd Random Things You Discover

    I was driving on the M11 and saw a Norbert Dentrassangle lorry so decided to attempt the "Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry, Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry" tongue-twister. As ever it proved beyond me. Then, for some reason unbenown to me, I attempted it in a Jamaican/Caribbean accent; and lo-and-behold it was...

    Southend in the Observer yesterday

    Sunder Katwala posts an interesting article on racism. We get a nice mention My scouse accent, though, was diminishing, having moved to Essex in my teenage years. Adopting a second team in Southend United, standing behind the goal, I saw racial abuse of a Wolves player directly challenged as...

    Captains Blog Part 2

    EAST ON.... I know this is supposed to be a light-hearted column so I’ll get Saturday’s defeat against Morecombe out of the way first. What can I say, we’re all gutted with the result and the way we lost the three goals in a game where we once again had most of the play. When we equalised at...

    Sturrock on the radio

    So once we got past his bid to present Gardeners' World, he sounded (if I could follow the accent ) pretty worried about the situation , especially as we can't compete financially with Conference sides thesedays. He pretty much accepted we were manure today and unfortunately I'm not referring...

    Reina signs new contract

    Nothing especially exciting there however this bit made me wince: Isn't that tantamount to child abuse?

    Monday Joke

    Paddy and Mick were walking down a street in London . Paddy happens to look in one of the shop windows and sees a sign that catches his eye. The sign said: "Suits £5.00 each, Shirts £2.00 each, trousers £2.50 per pair". Paddy says to his pal, "Mick, Look! We could buy a whole lot...

    Generation Kill

    Well, a bit late to the party but just finished watching all 7 hours and must say I thought that was a colossal piece of work. Brilliantly acted, stunningly filmed, really funny / sad / gripping / interesting. It probably won't get raved about as much as The Wire or various other HBO shows but...

    At last the truth about where the money came from

    After some careful research I am in a position to reveal the incredible story about where the money came from and how, only through incompetance, we failed to procure more than four times that sum which could have been used either to start the new stadium or invest in new players. It's an...

    I'd Have Booed Beckham

    I've been a little bit sniffy about football in America in the past. With their 'marquee' players and unbridled enthusiasm for the spectacular, there's always been a doubt in my mind as to whether they really 'get' what football is all about. That is until now. I'm sure I can't be the only...

    Ron's Blog 3/7/09

    Chairman's Blog I promised to let you have my thoughts upon my “likes and dislikes of the football industry”. I can sum this up in one four letter word beginning with f… yes you’ve got it FANS! My immediate thought is that the most likeable part of football is winning. However on reflection...

    Toulouse jolly.......match nul!

    TOULOUSE v LILLE The Stadium 13th MAY 2009 Bid farewell to The Ranger and Boo Boo, came down the Cagire and off, en route for Toulouse, with enough goodies to keep me going for the day. Had arranged to meet my SZ colleague outside Mac Do, on the Place du Capitole, in the centre of...

    Anyone else being stalked by Spencer Prior.

    In the car today on my way to the Hall and the phone goes off. Witheld number but no worries give it a go. Pick it up and get a pre-recorded message from someone claiming to be Spencer Prior. Now for my mind Spencer Prior is a Southend lad but the voice on the other end was a Harrold Bishop...

    Rons Blogg

    Chairman's Blog Firstly before I deal with Q&A there are one or two things to clear up. The first relates to Peter Clarke and an article in today’s Echo. In last week’s blog I set out the position, once again, surrounding Peter but for the record there have been no discussions with Peter...

    A Recovery Nightmare

    It all started normally. Flat battery in South Woodham Ferrers, clutch gone on an VW Camper in Westcliff another flat battery at Southend Hospital. All run of the mill stuff. Then I got a call for an Ford Scorpio in Pitsea with a wheel bearing gone and needing recovery to Great Yarmouth. That'll...

    Pick the team of the Tilson era

    Who would you pick in the team of the Tilson era? Mine would be Daryl Flahavan (one of only a few keepers we have seen under Tilson and some amazing performances) Duncan Jupp (his runs down the wing, his tackles, his goal v Lincoln to send us up) Adam Barrett (Southend legend, works his socks...

    Royce & Powell

    Bumped in to Simon Royce and Chris Powell on Monday evening at the Midland Hotel here in Manchester. Both had been attending the PFA AGM and I was at the hotel for the North West Football Awards as one of the sponsors. Both of them were very surprised when I approached them stating I was a...
