    New Stadium - Sainsburys loan means we have to move?

    Here's an interesting angle on this new stadium. This is what someone said to me a couple of days ago. Basically he said that we simply can't afford to pay Sainsburys back and therfore have to build this new stadium. What does everyone else think?

    Question RM to fine Sturrock a month's wages ?

    A tough one this for Ron. On the one hand, he can't afford to let the cleaning lady's lawyers think that he has anything less than the highest standards of moralilty and must be seen to crack down on any behaviour that strays from the straight and narrow. Can he? On the other hand, he can't...

  3. What's with the beer and the scoreboard?

    Now, I know it was the first game of the season and all that, but...... I've seen comments on here that the Shrimpers Bar only had bottled beer, and that it was warm bottled beer at that. Same went for the West as well except that the more astute of you would have noticed that it was also...

    Paul Sturrock Can do No Wrong!

    ..... Well he can't can he? If it's not doing a great job to keep one player satisfied (Granty), or showing great determination to get stuck into a sticky project, or his ability to bring in a whole new team of signings, or his ability to show he has thought of using one extra formation, then I...

    Question Ticket Prices?

    As I can't really afford a Season ticket this year I'll be just buying tickets for the games. Does anyone know if the prices will be droped or anything?

  6. Good News From The Training Ground.

    Just got back from the training ground. Started off badly with hearing about basic things the club could not afford and that they have to pay up front in cash if they really need something as no credit is given to them now, and everyone is chasing them for money. But I ended up coming away much...

    Question Question for Teflon Ron

    Great bit of PR you've done today Ron, not for the first time. You're clearly a dab hand at manipulating situations to your advantage. One question - how are you going to afford Sturrock, Widdrington, and this wonder team they are about to sign? Or am I just worrying about detail?

    2010 TdF

    Anyone looking forward to this year's tour? Loads of British riders in it this year, but British interest will centre around Wiggins in the GC and Cavendish in the sprint stages/green jersey battle. The likes of David Millar and Geraint Thomas could pick off a stage victory and both are on...

    "DISGRACEFUL!!!" Macca speaks out

    Mates just got todays Echo and Macca interview is in... Basic gist... * "Way we've been treated in the last 6 months is disgraceful" * "No communication about wages" * "Cannot afford to NOT get paid for months" (note, not "late!") * "Served the club with 14 days notice for persistent breach...

    Macca Has actually Resigned

    I have briefly skipped through a few of the posts on here regarding the boys that have been transfer listed and thought I may add a few points to the debate . The first im being told is because he has not been paid Macca has officially resigned as a Southend player where the club now have 14...

  11. Dear Ronald

    Dear Ronald. Please help! I think we are sharing similar problems on a different scale but I am not coping as well as you seem to be with them. It’s getting me down but you come across as though you don’t have a worry in the world. How do you do it?Let me give you an introduction on my...

    Dog for sale.

    Dog For Sale. Free to good home. Excellent guard dog. Owner cannot afford to feed him anymore, as there are no more drug pushers, thieves, murderers, or molesters left in the neighbourhood for him to eat. Most of them knew Jethro only by his Oriental street name, Ho Lee Schitt.

  15. Man City Ask To Break Simple Rules

    Just what is it with Premier League clubs having a very limited understanding of just how transfer windows work? If it isn't Portsmouth asking for permission to sell players just because they're skint, it's Man City begging to sign a 'keeper. Due to some remarkable oversight, when Shay Given...

    Fake goods

    Just doing some browsing about watches and came across an article about how to spot fakes from real. It included a statistic that 34% of the UK population surveyed have admitted to purchasing fake goods. Led me on to think.. How many would actually admit to it - have you purchased fake goods...
