    Barry Fry

    Seems like we could be up against him in Pre Season, as its rumoured he's interested in the available job at The Daggers! I haven't heard anything about it myself, but their board is full of posts about him and it's supposed to have been mentioned on Sky Sports News.

    David Blaine Risks Death Once Again

    David Blaine is trying to get himself hurt once again for the pleasure of the crowds. The bonkers stuntman and showman started his 60-hour ordeal hanged upside down over New York's Central Park. Although it may not seem much compared with his previous stunts, it may well be the hardest one ever...

    Tilson: We have the sharpest strike force

    Just watched the Tilly interview from yesterday and thought it was interesting how he stated he thinks we have the strongest strike partnership in the league. Out of interest how do you think we compare/ rank compared to other teams striker forces (taken from their starting line up's...

    Great interview with the writer of The Wire about the two sides of America

    Really great piece in The Guardian at the weekend written by the creator of The Wire (HBO series) and former journalist, David Simon. Its basically about what its like living in America (in this case Baltimore) if the local government decide to turn their back on you. Its pretty shocking stuff...

    Here are some of the Benefits that Scotland enjoy.....But England do not Free University Tuition Fees Free Home care for the elderly Free Prescriptions from 2011 The above benefits are funded by the higher tax benefits that Scotland receive per capita compared to England. In a...
  6. Irate Ian - his crusade to be welcomed in the long-term club interests or not?

    Can't help feeling that there is a personal battle going on on this site. Irate Ian has some (IMHO) valid questions to raise. Some others seem to be fed up with him - either because he's been round this route many times before or they have blind faith in Ron Martin. This seems to have become...

    Olympic heroes Vs Football flops

    Now we have all seen it in the papers this week. The disgrace of our national football team compared to the pride of the Team GB in Beijing. Personally I think the England team should be ashamed of themselves. They came out with the usual blurb about how it was important not to loose and...
  8. The real cost of watching Football...

    Now, according to Virgin Money, the average regular fan of a Premiership football team forked out £1,331 (5% of average salary) supporting their side in 2007. This covered the cost of tickets, merchandise, travel, food, alcohol and match programmes. One in eight dedicated fans paid out as much...

    Flip flops?

    Me and the Mrs are going away next week and I have spent most of the day packing my stuff. Compared to the beloved, I have about a quarter of the suitcase for all my gear and the rest is hers (everything but the kitchen sink) She was out shopping last week and bought me some "Flip flops". Now I...

    Guardian today

    Interesting experiment where arts critics review sport today and sports writers review arts tomorrow. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/jun/17/1 Bit pretentious in places, especially: Watching football is, in theory, a bit like looking at art. The view from my seat (which has its own...

    Housekeeping Guide - 1955 Style

    Advice from 'Housekeeping Weekly' in 1955. These were the days. Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready, on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are...

    Luiz Felipe Scolari

    Every managerial appointment at every football club in the world carries a certain amount of risk, but the decision to bring in Luiz Felipe Scolari as the new manager of Chelsea is like pouring petrol over a smouldering barbeque. On the face of it, it's a great way to get the fire burning again...

    Planets And The Universe

    The Universe is a big place and to many of us it seems endless. Which if theories are correct it could be as it is ever expanding. Not much is known outside of Earth but some think we are the big boys. Think again! Feel big at the moment dont we. But these are the little boys of the solar...
  14. Games Consoles

    I am caught in many minds about whether to buy an XBOX or PS3 or just stick with the Wii and get more games for it. I thought ill seek the advice of such esteemed people and see what you lot think. What do you have and what do you think is best? I am heading towards getting a XBOX atm as i...

    The Great Technology Debate

    Its not just transfer rumours which get out of control in the ‘silly’ season but also always appearing from the shadows again is the subject of TV referees or a 3rd eye if you prefer. A referee sitting high in the sky surrounded by as many tvs as your local Dixons and making the call on a...

    Can Southend handle the crowds?

    I often wonder whether the Blues can withstand the pressure of having a big crowd in front of them. To look at a whole season would take forever so instead I will look at the top ten attendances and the bottom ten attendances and see if there is any connection between crowd and result. 1-...

    Promotion And The Championship

    If we were not to get promoted with the next 3 seasons would you be angry and disappointed? Do you think we could survive with the lack of financial clot we seem to have compared to some of the ‘big boys’ of the Championship? With the new stadium now finally already to go do you think waiting...

    Why complain

    I dont understand some of our fans, it seems that unless we are hammering teams 5-0 every week, they sit and wallow in depression and moan about everything from Ron Martin to the length of the grass at Roots Hall. Last night, we showed that we can accept defeat gracefully. We werent ready to...

    UK economy - doomed

    Rising food prices sent the UK's annual inflation rate surging to 3% last month in the sharpest increase in the cost of living in almost six years, the government said today. Data from the Office for National Statistics revealed that the government's preferred measure of inflation - the...
