    We have read it all before but.....

    With only a few weeks to go till the start of the season why do we year in year out wait to the last minuite to sort the squad out.

    Hadleigh Castle Olympics - your views

    Why ? It's one of the few gems we have.
  4. Feeder club?

    Can anyone remind me, but did we not sign a deal a couple of seasons ago with a Premiership club (Arsenal?) which basically made us a feeder club? If that was the case, was all that scuppered after Kierra went back? what about the deals with CD Javea and St.Pauli? Was just thinking if there...

    After doing the Google post your username pic thread I did some random trawling and came up with this "gem" of a website http://www.southendunitedyears.com/ I've particularly enjoyed the following extracts from the site: We provide information on the history of the Southend United Football...
  7. Long-term planning

    With our youth system starting to produce some gems... and apparently more in the pipeline, and some youngsters in our 1st team already, it seems that T&B (along with Ricky Duncan and Ron Martin) most underrated achievement is their longterm planning for the future. There has been much talk...

    Podcasts

    Any recommendations for any good ones? I'm currently subscribed to about 20 of podcasts, although most of them either seem to have stopped or only have new stuff every 6 months. As there are thousands of them, I'm sure there is plenty of hidden gems out there. So any recommendations? I'll...

    Spoonerisms

    The Sir Trevor McDonald racist thread reminded me of the classic Spoonerism uttered by Sir Trev, when he tripped on "The Kent Countryside". Any other gems to share?

    Iced or Chocolate?

    This week I found in my cupboard a pack of iced gems and a pack of chocolate gems. Someone mentioned iced gems on another thread so I pose the question iced or chocolate Iced gems clearly are the classic and the icing part is unbeatable however the biscuit needs improvement. On the other hand...

    Forgotten favourites

    On a nostalgia trip through my cd collection and have rediscovered how brilliant Belly were, especially the first album. I found some great archive live footage on YouTube for anyone who's not heard them before - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Lqa0F-arWw And also probably their biggest...

    Loan Deadline

    So, will T&B add any gems to our depleted squad today, or will it pass quietly as usual?... Personally I think it will be the latter unfortunately.
  13. Cracking Picture

    It's late, early start tomorrow, but I can't stop googling for more reports of todays match, especially when you can find gems like this (from the ITV site...) Is that really Rooney, with head in arms, at Roots Hall? LUV IT!!!

    Article here on the OS: Youth Team off to Denmark... Thanks to the Trust, the youth team have been able to fly off to Denmark in order to take part in the elite section of the Norhalne Cup, a pan-European competition. It seems to me that this will give the youths an enormous amount of...

Success at Southend As little as 24 months ago, the future of Southend United FC was in question, let alone the likelihood of advancing...
  18. Lacks of new signings ..... could be fateful at

    Iam starting to worry about the lack of signing, I thought being an League 1 side and being a clubs on the up would bring at least 4 new players in, but none so far, if we went another 2 week without ONE signing, I would press the BIG RED 'panic' button. Look like we had an lucky break...

    Police Squad

    Just going through some old VHS Videos (remember those kids?!) and found some episodes of "Police Squad!" that I had recorded. That kind of humour really hits the button for me and I still found them extremely funny. If anyone else likes this style of comedy (Airplane, Naked...
  20. Cowboy

    A modern day cowboy has spent many days crossing the desert without water. His horse has already died of thirst. He's crawling through the sand, certain that he has breathed his last, when all of a sudden, he sees an object sticking out of the sand several yards ahead of him. He crawls to...
