    Blues Call Centre Staff Are Laid Off

    For the record, another Echo article confirming staff redundancies (Christine Sexton, Wed 7 July 2010) Southend United have laid off call centre staff at the club in the wake of mounting financial pressure. Young people employed to sell Southend United branded products to shops and season...
  2. Style of football under Paul Sturrock?

    With varying degrees of success, we were a nice little passing side under Steve Tilson. Some of the movement of the ball when we were really playing well was a joy to watch. Yeovil and Brentford in the League One winning season stand out, Carlisle at home the next season (a match we somehow lost...

    Russell Brand - Like or Hate

    The bloke is starring in a new film released. He is banging Katy Perry (fair play/jealous?), He has wasted a lot of his life on drunks and booze (good lad/stupid?), He only talks about drugs and sex (funny/thick ****?), He has banged loads of women (ruthless little c**t/sterling job?) He...

  6. Thrills, Spills and Unpaid Bills - The League One Review Part One

    So, another season bites the dust and it’s all over bar the fighting at the Wembley mud bath. As ever, ten months of football has served up more twists, turns and travesties than a Mail on Sunday honey trap and hopefully this should spread some light on the season just gone. Norwich Starting...
  7. Been to Dagenham today!!!

    My 10 year old daughter wanted to supporter her local club today so I drove down to Dagenham picked her up and went to the game. To start off with Dagenham have got a brand new away end which is all seater and I must admit the nosie that Morecombe made was fantastic from the 522 away fans. When...
  8. Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset

    Question Wot are you looking forward to this Summer?

    For me, a few obvious things, others a bit more unique. In no particular order: 1. The World Cup, watching every key game (and most of the others) where poss with a beer in hand. Might be a bit challenging at times, for the USA game I am helping out at junior school camp at a sloping field...

    Overpaid, out of touch and irresponsible

    In today's Mail on Sunday by Chris Powell. Overpaid, out of touch and irresponsible: PFA chairman Chris Powell gives his damning verdict on the worst of today's millionaire footballers. After almost a quarter of a century as a professional footballer, Chris Powell will this afternoon say...

    Bit of financial advice please...

    In a position where I need to liquidate some investments, now, position is that foolishly, over the years, I put all my trust in my erstwhile husband and he handled all the investments apart from occasionally and begrudgingly listening when I requested particular shares (yes did very well out of...

    Articles Typed Up (For those who don't have access to them)

    For those of you that do not have access to the Echo, I have typed up some of the sections in the paper. I hope these are of interest to someone, and also hope it's OK to post them here. If there not - remove them.. I have posted them in the Echo thread, but people might not see them in there...
  13. On the 3rd of November 2003.....

    Ron Martin sacked Steve Wignall. We had just been beaten 0-1 at home by Northampton, and we were 23rd in League 2. Simple question: If at that point someone had offered you: 6 successive years of mid-table League 2 football, financial stability (players paid on time, etc) and the foundations...

    2010 season

    Ah, spring training. The sound of rubber or cork wrapped in yarn and covered with leather thumping into leather mitts or the rifle crack of corked ash. Ahhh. There is something magical about the phrase "pitchers and catchers report". It sounds so innocent but at the same time so alluring. I'm...
  17. Printers

    Looking to buy some printer catridges for my HP printer (which are not cheap) so I can print some photos out and have them on the mantlepiece the old fashioned way, so instead I see a Lexmark printer that is roughly (save for a couple of quid) the same price as the catridges themselves. Now I...

    Chez & ash have split up

    What????? Didn't see that coming. It would appear that if you repeatedly cheat on your brand in public circles and get caught then the brand needs to reevaluate and relaunch itself. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8531260.stm Wonder what Cheryl will return as? I reckon she'd look...

    Friday Discussion - Academic Qualifications

    Academic qualifications are commonly felt to give a person the best chance of success in life. How far is this true? The definition of success differs from person to person and field to field. One could take economic success as a touchstone to label a person successful in life, ignoring his of...
