    Clare Tomlinson - Sky Sports

    Not sure if it's been mentioned on here already (apologies if it has), seen snippets in the press about this in the past few days, apparently Clare Tomlinson has been signed off for 2 months by Sky Sports and has been checked into the Priory. She's been singled out for blame for failing to...
  2. Oldham Away Rollcall

    After failing to find anywhere to stay in brighton after our disasterous collapse last week I fancy making the trip to Boundary Park and making a weekend of it. 3 points and a **** up in Manchester sound in order. Anyone else planning to stay the night too?

    Rugby World Cup

    Press Release International Rugby Board (IRB) Rugby World Cup 2007 Following complaints to the IRB about the All Blacks being allowed to motivate themselves by performing the ‘Haka’ before their games, other nations were asked to suggest pre-match rituals of their own.The IRB...

    Weekend Bets

    Anyone do any good? I got a 17 quid loss with Freddy failing to score, but a win on Leeds £30 at 4/5 and 8 quid on the Villa at 4-1.
  5. Will Tilson resign!!

    This Southend man through and through that supports Leeds and would be Norwich manager if Martin gave him permission to speak to them is loosing his creditability! The money he’s wasted on Foran, Paynter, Harrold and the wages of Ricketts must give Ron a massive headache when asked for more...

    Back from Leeds

    Just got back in and thought I'd post a view from someone at the game. Firstly, no way was it a 4-1 hammering. We more than matched Leeds, but our failing in the final 3rd is going to cost us. Harrold missed 2 or 3 good chances (even missed from 2 yards for Barretts goal) - not excusable...
  7. Tuesday Night Ratings

    Collis - 8 - looked comfortable all evening and although his kicking sometimes left a little to be desired, the speed he released the ball form his hands to the full backs to begin a counter attack was very good. Fantastic penalty save to take it to ET Gilbert - 6 - did OK tonight nothing more...

    Slightly late Crawley thoughts.

    Sorry for slight delay in posting this but didnt have a second at home this weekend. My delayed thoughts from Crawley as follows. Been to Crawley loads of times as they are my sort of local club other than Brighton who I cant stand and they are normally a really nice club but Saturday then were...

    Blues World

    I'm still having huge problems accessing the video/audio content on Blues World ever since I upgraded my Windows Media Player.Basically it's a DRM problem as I can't download any patches from the links on the BW help page "Set up cannot update your windows media format sdk file because the...

    Basic banking life skills.

    As I am in the slow and painfull process of buying another flat I am at the moment in and out or the wonderful branch that is LSTB in Borough High Street. I am convinced that LTSB should shut this branch and open it as a museum as the decor, staff and facilites date back to pre-war England. I...
  12. The jontosh2001 DEFENCE analysis!

    DEFENCE The good (or bad) thing about football and being a football fan is that statistics tend not to lie. Often you hear people saying that the stats "don't tell the full story", or "we are better than our position in the league shows", but this is often only justified in the very short...

    Left At Half Time - 1st Time in 37 years

    Ashamed to say that I left today at half time for the first time ever - I always stay to the end no matter what the score. We are an average side capable of good performances - if we can't get the basics right then this is why we lose so easily to poor sides. Darryl has retreated in to his...

    Thoroughly disgusted

    I've had three or four stabs at trying to make this post constructive and I know I'm going to fail at it again. I almost can't think of one positive to take from today's spineless, shameful performance. That has to go down as the world's softest ever local derby. I looked around at the team and...

    Less Than Five Days To Ipswich

    You've guessed the theme by now I suspect. Yokel talk in the rag was of Frances Jeffers who they have just got on loan from wherever he is currently failing. Aparently he did ok coming on as sub but the rag is so biased it is difficult to tell. One goal in 30 games for Mr Jeffers is maybe a...

    ANOTHER Kightly post *NOTW*

    Small article in the News Of The World 'Exposed; Soccer stories' section: "Manchester United are still trailing Wolves winger Michael Kightly. The former Grays ace, 21, has impressed since moving from the Conference side for £25,000 last November. United tried to sign him in January before...

    Sheffield Wednesday 3 Southend 2

    Another game, another defeat. But this was a completely different game to the defeats at Sunderland, when we were simply outclassed by a quality team, and the home game against Palace, where both teams played poorly but Palace snatched victory. We started brightly with Maher releasing Foran...
  18. dead already?

    Once again it seems that the Minority will outweigh the Majority. I have lived in Southend all my life and have supported our team for over 35 years but once again it seems the backward thinking of this council and a few select groups will stop any progress as far as our New Stadium and future...

    Ryce is twice as nice

    Jamal Campbell-Ryce struck twice as Southend threw the form book out of the window to secure a vital 3-1 victory against in-form West Brom. The winger had failed to score a single goal for the Championship's basement side prior to the visit of promotion-chasing Albion, but he produced two...

    The fbm view and ratings

    PANTO SEASON IN FULL SWING AT ROOTS HALL Roll up! Roll up! Come and see the Christmas pantomime. No – not Dick Whittington at the Cliffs, or The Wizard of Oz at the Palace, but one that beats the lot – Cinderella at Roots Hall. Why Cinderella? Because no Southend players went to the ball (at...
