    Get well soon CC51DAS

    Howard has been rather unwell recently , having been in an out of Hospital for the past couple of years. I heard on Saturday that he has been very ill after the latest operation with two secondary infections. I understand he is through the worst , but get well soon Howard, and I look forward to...

    Redevelopment of Roots Hall

    I popped down to the ground earlier today to buy my first ticket for Saturday's match. My little reconnaissance consisted of a planned timed walk, door to door, to the West stand entrance in Shakespeare Drive (approx 8 and a half minutes) where I'll be in block U and also to look at the pubs...

    Group A - Brazil, Croatia, Mexico and Cameroon

    Group A, the group of the host nation, and possibly even the favourites. It seems that the draw has been kind to Brazil, and they will be expected to qualify from the group easily. The battle for second place and qualification to the next round will be close, with all three of the other teams...

    Paul Smith - 'his worse keeper eva' and other similar ramblings

    A thread to redefine goalkeeping standards and stop agendas cluttering up match report threads with pages and pages of arguments about Southend's number one. Please sound off here rather than make every thread an argument about Smith.

    The German export.

    Is Bavarian smoked cheese the best German export of all followed by Kraftwerk and the directors cut of Das Boot?

    Harry's Nostalgia - North Bank Memories

    With the imminent return to the North Bank, albeit for two games I thought I'd share a few memories with you, while I still have them that is. Firstly though a big well done to Smiffy, TrueBlue and all the others who have worked hard to achieve this. :clap: From the first day I stepped into...

    Unlikely plumbing disasters.

    I got up at 4am this morning to find that a mouse had chewed through a plastic water pipe and left my kitchen resembling an episode of Das Boot. After isolating the supply it took me several hours to clean up the flood and I was two hours late for work. Has anyone else had a more unlikely...

    Good luck

    I am writing just to send my thoughts to you the fans. No matter who wears the shirt, who owns the club or who manages it. The people that feel the ups and downs are us, the mugs who follow the clubs we love blindly. I am sure you will be fine, it won't be comfortable and there will be alot of...

    Terry's Disingenuous Pledge

    If you ever wanted to capture the essence of modern football in just one page, you could do a lot worse than paying a visit to Chelsea's website. Here, behind the splash of adverts for a new kit that looks more like a women's cycling top than a football jersey, you will find John Terry's...

    Dean Windass

    Total legend! We know about him in goal of course, but great to see how much he enjoyed it and how well he did on the Chumpionship.

    Dimitar Berbatov

    Tottenham fans won't be able to draw much comfort from the news that Manchester United have made an official bid for Dimitar Berbatov, but there is at least one bonus; it might shut Emil Danchev up for a while. Berbatov's dastardly agent has been agitating for a move away from White Hart Lane...

    Chelsea v Bolton

    In scorching heat against brutal opposition, Chelsea were comfortably keeping their side of the bargain and beating Bolton Wanderers, but with ten minutes remaining, the Stamford Bridge faithful suddenly fell silent and for a moment the only sound was the pinging of thousands of SMS messages...

    With apologies to Hils - the Thursday Quiz

    Open to all today, and probably far too easy being as the source is aimed at kids! 1. In Greek mythology, who killed the Minotaur? 2. What was the number of Dick Dastardly's car in Wacky Races? 3. In feet, how high is Ben Nevis? 4. Of his 11 brothers, only one was actually...

    Time Running Out for Rafa

    Time Running Out for Rafa I’ve never been entirely sure about Alan Curbishley. He never seems to be the kind of man who can turn a game, the motivational dynamo who can lift the players, or the tactical genius who can outwit the greats. I’m not still not sure he’s any of the above, but he’s...

    Slipperduke's Slippery Column

    Time Running Out for Rafa I’ve never been entirely sure about Alan Curbishley. He never seems to be the kind of man who can turn a game, the motivational dynamo who can lift the players, or the tactical genius who can outwit the greats. I’m not still not sure he’s any of the above, but he’s...

    East Enders - who gives a **** ???

    Two episodes ! Don't you just love Christmas ?? Mrs CC51DAS unfortunately thinx this pathetic 'real life' drama featuring pretend spammers is a matter of life and death - yet she fails to understand why I might be down for days after a 0-1 reversal to Oldham . How far removed from the real...

    Stiff's Tonight v Ipswich: Match Report

    An excellent evening's entertainment watched by a crowd of 415 at Portman Road. The 5-4 defeat didn't of course really matter and it would have been nice to have come away with a point which after good spells in the middle bits of both halves we probably deserved. Oddly despite conceding 5 the...

    Local Radio & SUFC

    You may remember some time back I mentioned a new local station coming to Southend borough soon, and how we should lobby Ofcom (through their public enquiry) that we need a station with good coverage of the Blues... Well, the four bidders for the licence have been announced, as follows...
