    Inappropriate giggles and laughter...

    Why does this happen!? On a train this morning coming into Richmond, a young fella walks down the aisle, laptop bag on his left shoulder, clutching both a coffee (in a cardboard cup) and a reading book in his right hand. He catches another bloke, in front of me to the left, with his laptop...

    Celtic v Rangers

    I'm told by my Scottish friends that when it comes to excitement, you'll have to go a long way to beat an Old Firm derby between Glasgow Rangers and Glasgow Celtic. I've always been a little dubious of that claim. After all, I've been to Tottenham against Arsenal. Could it really be anymore...

    Defence - what an improvement

    I think amoungst all these positive posts we need to give a special mention to the improvement in defence. What a great difference Mulgrew and Francis have made lately and Barrett and Clarke are putting in some excellent performances. I think 5 goals conceeded in 10 games speaks for itself...

    Did anyone else get

    A letter thru the post from casino.com claiming you can win £10, £15 or £25 free with no catches?! I got it thru Tuesday and thought i may as well give it a shot but i still haven't got this free money into my account. I know there a few gamblers out there, so just wondered if anyone else got...

    NZ v Eng ODI Series

    So, I got up this morning bright and early at 5am eagerly anticipating an England comeback. I wake up to 120-5, and soon after see Bopara run out Cook. Shambolic performance sees us struggle to 158 all out. We then drop 2 catches early on, and get beaten easily by 10 wickets. Waste of my bloody...

    NZ v Eng, 20:20

    Comfortable win for England. KP looked a class apart. My MoM McCullum for inserting England on a good pitch. The ball was darting about in the second innings under lights, with Sideshow in particular bowling well. Mascarenhas will probably get the plaudits for slogging Jeetan Patel for 4...

    Everton Down On Their Luck

    There are times in my life when I’m incredibly grateful to my Dad for taking me to see Southend United on my 11th birthday. It was freezing cold, everything smelt of fried onions, someone urinated on my trainers and Huddersfield won 1-0, but somehow it felt so right. It was the start of an...

    Song to TRY tomorrow at cup game?

    There's a thread running called "loving feeling" where some of us have been playing with new songs to sing. These are the front 4 runners. We're not pushing for one of these to be the new club song - unless one of them really catches on. We just want a bit of originality to pick up the crowd and...

  18. Match Report

    For a newly built team, most Blue fans were hoping for a 1-0 or 2-0 win. However, they were pleasantly surprised. Thurrock started the game well, pressing onto Southend's back line, with Bart G.  full of confidence as Southend's new keeper. he made excellent catches, which made Blues fans feel...
