    Now Here's a Dilema

    About 2 1/2 years ago we gave our last remaining cat away. The reason was that we suspected our youngest was allergic to him, although we couldn't be 100% sure. The vet helped us find someone to take him in. It was a friend of the vet and she assured us these people knew what they were doing...

    Kids Say the Funniest Things

    My two: Eldest: "I'm Freddy Eastwood." Youngest: "No, I'm Freddy Eastwood." Me: "You can both be Freddy Eastwood." Eldest: "No we can't, there's only one Freddy Eastwood."

    Is it just me?? - England!!

    I have listened to all the experts in the media say that Roy Hodgson should experiment for the Chile and Germany games as they are opportunities to have a look at different players etc..before Brazil in the Summer. I disagree and last night I feel was proof. Roy has been manager for over a year...
  4. Arsene Wegner not interested in Blues job! ;

    Such is Arsene Wenger's long association with Arsenal, it is difficult to envisage him ever managing another club in England. But the Frenchman has been provided with another job offer (well, sort of) after one fan asked Wenger if he would consider joining Southend United. Wenger is now the...

    Congratulations to Marc Marquez

    On becoming the youngest ever rider to win the MotoGP championship and in his rookie season too. An amazing achievement and we could have a new Valentino Rossi contender for achievements on our hands.
  6. Tuesday League games at Roots Hall!!!

    Apologies if this has already been mentioned?...................Driving home from the Dagenham debacle in the JPT, my youngest son mentioned that we never win on Tuesdays? Having quickly checked our record, it appears that unbelievably we have LOST our last 8 home league games played on a...

    Squad Age

    By my thinking we may have the youngest squad (for us) for many years and certainly amongst the lowest in the league; especially after Barks departure. Who, other than Smithy is over 30? And who is our longest signed player? my guess would be either Barry Corr or Mark Phillips as I can't think...

    Brown's squad

    http://www.southendunited.co.uk/news/article/010813-clifford-and-bennett-960904.aspx#0cuEqx7tTepwf8Hf.99 This is Brown's squad now so there can be no excuses. I wonder where that leaves the following players who Brown hasn't signed or re-signed. Smith Chambers Barker Phillips Straker Laird...

    My Aunt's Boyfriend

    I thought I'd tell you all a story. My uncle (my mum's brother) died in 2001. He had a heart transplant in around 1989-1990 and his new heart was finally rejected about 12 years on. He had got to a point where he was on the strongest anti-rejection drugs possible, so there was nothing more the...

    US lessons for Osborne

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jul/21/osborne-wasted-three-years I notice that Ed Balls agrees with me that the last three years in the UK have mainly benefitted the rich. "there are growing signs that this nascent recovery is mainly benefiting those at the top. Bank bonuses...
  14. Roots Hall

    Now that maybe we will be going to a new ground sooner, rather than later, i was looking up the history of Roots Hall. I was surprised to see that, opening on 20th August 1955, it was then the youngest football ground for 33 years, until Scunthorpe opened Glanford Park in 1988. Must admit i was...

    Pre-Match Thread Bradford v Southend

    So he's finally here and Friday's trip to Bradford will be the man from Del Monte's first game in charge. Some of our posters will be more aware of Brown's style of play, preferred tactics and formations, so what team would you expect/like to see? Can anyone see recalls for BBBC, Smith or...

    Strangest Football Grounds in UK

    Hi Chaps, I've been asked to write a piece for Prostate Cancer about the most interesting, alternative football grounds in England. Unfortunately, given my day job, I spend most of my time at Premier League grounds these days, which are neither interesting nor alternative. Can you remind me of...

    The Nakid Truth

    Taken from: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Naked-Truth-CameronIs-he-the-worst-prime-minister-in-British-history/349274725156523 How close was David Cameron to having a week that was not a total disaster for himself or the government. I really thought he was going to make it by Thursday,But...
  19. Breaking News You read it first here folks ...........

    Persuaded, no doubt, by another woeful and ineffectual display from Spillane on Tuesday - thankfully truncated early, I have it on the very best authority that we are soon to be boosted by a very popular signing. Given that since he returned to his parent club in early January, we have not had...
  20. Ref Watch ....... Wycombe (A)

    Tomorrow's man in charge is the loose cannon that is Trevor Kettle. Or, rather, Wing Commander Trevor Kettle based at RAF High Wycombe (!). This is his 10th season as a League referee and his matches have been littered with controversy and condemnation throughout. I am sure there is not the...
