    Question Who here runs their own business?

    I'm a couple of weeks away from finishing uni and determined to start my own business once i'm done. I have a job lined up for when i finish but not one that i want to have for more than a year. Obviously, the main stumbing block in my plan, which is pretty massive, is my lack of an idea. Have...

    Southend relegated 3 times

    Embarrassing to see Southend B and Southend C finishing above us but at least they are down too.

    Manager of the Year

    Not seen this posted before - Redknapp has won Manager of the Year what an absolute crock of ****, Manager of the Year for finishing 4th another case for rewarding mediocrity. Roy Hodgson is more deserving for leading Fulham to a European final, and what about Ancelotti if Chelsea do the double?

    An open letter to Spurs fans

    Dear Spuds I see from the celebrations you enjoyed last night (and the numerous Facebook updates from your kind) that finishing in the top 20% of the Premier League for the first time in a generation is like winning the Euopean Cup to you. I'm glad that has put into perspective your ambitions...

    Could this be a blessing in disguise?

    Thinking albeit optimistically, I wonder if in a years time we will look back at this relegation as a blessing in disguise? Lets think about it rationally. We clear out a few players that are the higher earners and bring in some players that are hungry to prove themselves on lesser wages. Maybe...

    BBC football site League 1 predictor......... I keep doing it with us winning next 3 games and we still go down...... I even put in every game except ours finishing 0-0 and us winning 3 games 9-0 - and we are still stuffed (yes I know we are 7 points away and if everyone get 3 points we're...

    West Ham. Not Good.

    WEST HAM ARE DOOMED After the excitement and drama of the weekend, here was the comedown. Manchester City against Manchester United was a tense, gritty battle of attrition. Tottenham against Chelsea was an explosive clash, packed with action. This was like watching a game of chicken between a...

    FM2010 (iPhone) Review

    When I was young I used to dream, not of a career in professional football, or of great riches or even of a date with Kim Wilde. Nay, those were the dreams of weaker folk. I dreamed of a portable 'Tracksuit Manager', that mid 1980s Spectrum classic. I dreamed of whiling away long car journeys to...

    Last night

    Got invited by my local professional football club to the pub last night. A small group of us from different groups of supporters. We were given beer, food and asked our 'honest' opinion. The club didn't get much right last season, finishing second bottom of the league and crowds are down. They...

    OD - Week 12

    Yamas v ShrimperZone CC At the start of this season I'd have thrown this one as their team was immense. However they then went broke and sold off their entire team, best player now 9,000 BTR! They must be sitting on a pile of cash and the manager is still logging in but luckily they haven't...
  14. ESB's Masters Preview

    The Masters at Augusta is one of the most eagerly anticipated sporting events, this year given more impetus by the not-so-surprising return of Tiger Woods. At the risk of overshadowing a landmark event in the golfing calendar, Woods has pledged to put his previous indiscretions behind him and...

    Final points tally.

    Having not much else to do (well, the garden isn't going anywhere this morning!) I have picked six seasons at random to see how many points may needed to stay up. For the seasons I selected, the team finishing in 20th position had; 51, 53, 54, 55, 54, 52 making an average of a tad over 53. So...

    The simple joys (that probably only make sense when you're 50)

    It seems that the older I get, the keener I am to preserve what's still good about life in this battered island. An example ... went into a pub in Penzance earlier this evening to check out whether it would be a good place to see some World Cup action in approximately 11 weeks' time. I'd been...

    Time For Chelsea To Grow Up

    WHAT’S GONE WRONG AT CHELSEA? For six years, Chelsea have been a relentless winning machine, but that arrogant sense of superiority has faded away. In its place is hesitancy, vulnerability and a worrying inability to dictate the flow of games. Chelsea are dropping points so frequently that...
  18. BBC predictor

    Just went on the BBC Sport League 1 Predictor and my predictions came out with Southend finishing in 14th on 53 points. Oldham, Exeter, Wycombe, Stockport to go down. Settle for that. 6 wins, 3 defeats and 2 draws! Interested to see what others come up with
  19. At what point did it go wrong?

    All the hard work in getting promoted from league 2 after all those terrible seasons and finishing as champions of league 1 and as it looks, we're back to square one. Can't believe how bad things have gone. It's unbelievable. How has it got so bad? Can anybody put a finger on where it's gone...
