    What to get her for Christmas

    Anyone else get fed up wandering round shops looking for the perfect gift for the woman who has everything? My wife has always bought me and the kids Advent calenders.A few years ago she complained we didnt get her one, so I had an idea. I got 25 boxes, and bought 25 gifts. These range from...

    Col U, the very wet Irish, and SZ rogues gallery

    Saturday started off as any other of our travels over to see Southend: Leaving for the airport at 4am. Conditions were cold, but no rain. Yet. Arrived at the very rain swept Stansted at 7:55am to grab the bus later to Southend, and got dropped off on Victoria Avenue at 10:50. Rain was so bad...

    My weird day trip to Bristol.

    Decided to go to Bristol Rovers as its getting close to baby time and I want to be close enough to home so that I can get back incase MrS DtS decided to pop. As we have three weeks to go a look at the fixture list told me this was the last one I could aim for. I am allowing myself home games as...

    Leaving your job?

    Took the proverbial bull by the horns and gave my "Anal " boss my notice period on thursday. To say the meeting he had setup asking for members of staff to offer and share views in the work place didnt last very long once my rather long rant hit both his ardrums for all and sundry to hear. I...

    Printers

    Bought a brand new printer today from Argos. Got it home and about 45 mins ago, decided to test it out cos I didnt have time earlier for it. The printer came with the usual, plus 2 ink cartridges. Now, seeing as the lovely workers of HP packed the damn thing, and the ink cartridges are a match...

    Bet you didnt see that one coming........

    Now there's a question you don't get too often... A woman is at home when she hears someone knock at the door. She goes to the door and opens the door to see a man standing there. He asks the lady 'Do you have a vagina?'. She slams the door in disgust.. The next morning she hears a knock at the...

    Do Ex-Shrimpers really always score against us?

    We commonly whinge that ex-players always come back and bite us when they play us but do they really? Yesterday was the first time we have played against an ex-shrimper this season, and Ben Smith didnt get a goal ... I will happily record all action against ex-shrimpers this season and...

    Berbatov

    Man City make a shock bid for Berbatov. Blimey, I didnt see that coming.

  12. The Same Reaction

    Would there be the same reaction to todays 5-2 defeat if we had held on to the lead against Millwall and beaten Brighton. With Millwall, they score a lucky goal at the end, after a great save for Mildenhall. And against Brighton up until a dodgy red card we were all over them. Come on we are...

    Clarke/Barrett

    How many more games do we have to go through before Tilly realises they cannot work well together, they dont communicate well, cant organise. 80 goals in the Championship, 60 last season and already 9 this season (I know they didnt play all those games). Yes the midfield arent covering well but...

  14. This Is What Id Do At Walsall

    Sorry if a simular thread has been posted but, On Saturday i would start young Masters in goal and give Foran a chance up top along side Barnard. Was at the game last friday and can safely say ive never seen a worse keeper than Mildenhall, yes he has height in goal but thats it, he didnt once...

    X30 to Stansted

    Goin to northern ireland for the weekend, no luggage, just hand baggage so i have done the online check in thing. Flight leaves stansted at 11:10 tomorrow morning, gate closes at 10:40. Here's my dilemma, the X30 leaves rayleigh at 7:30, arrives at stansted 8:32. OR X30 leaves rayleigh 8:30...

    Turning point yesterday in my book....

    Was the injury to Charles Ademeno. Not that Charl has been that amazing but I think he gave us balance. As soon as Sankofa came on we looked like we lost shape. We didnt really have anyone on the right wing half the time and Sankofa whilst out of position had no real influence on things in my...

  17. 1 point won or 2 points lost???

    Usually I am absolutely gutted when we concede and lose away, but today it was inevitable milwall were going to score.. Yes it was a kick in the teeth to concede in the last few minutes but im unsure whether to take it as a point won or 2 points lost? Thought the team weren't playing great at...

    I'm fed up

    I'm fed up today, not with the team, but with the people who keep saying that if we keep playing like this they want their season ticket back. We won our first game of the season against supposed promotion contenders and had one albeit very poor game against a poor team due mainly to the Bailey...

  19. My only roots hall vist this season

    Felt the need to write a quick note as i dont get to do this much living in Australia. You would think the older you get and the less you see of your team the more your interest wanes. How wrong! I was so excited and couldnt wait for the game to start. It was like being a teenager again. All...

  20. Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 1 Peterborough 0

    Here we go again! - Mildenhall - 8 - Made a very sharp stop from Mcclean (spelling!) and looked very commanding. On todays performance, definate improvement on Flavs Franny - 6.5 - Solid but drifted in and out of the game Barrett - 7.5 - Kept Mcclean quiet all game and was commanding...
