    Supporting a club like Southend United

    As I sat high up in the Shed End at Stamford Bridge enjoying our moment in the sun on the greyest of winter days, soaking up the Blue Voice inspired atmosphere, taking in the flag-waving travelling Shrimper army bedecked in yellow and coping with the perforation of my ear-drums from an incessant...

    Interview with an Exile: Part 8 - Libertine

    This week, recently exiled Andy (Libertine), out in Australia, answers the questions. Below is a picture of Andy and his kids at Surfers Paradise. 1) How long have you been an exile? A) Since August this year. My last game was Millwall away and I flew out the following Monday. 2) Why did...

    72 Virgins

    I can understand why Muslims are so highly motivated to carry out terrorist attacks, they are promised 72 virgins when they go to heaven. A fine reward, I'm sure we'll all agree. But for those virgins... heaven isn't exactly what they expected is it? "You be a good little girl, you must always...

    Mr Motivator

    No-one can be entirely sure of what is being said in the England dressing room at half-time, but if these second half performances are anything to go by, President Bush should consider hiring Fabio Capello to have a quiet word with Wall Street. That credit crunch would be turned around in no...

    England Have Turned Me Grey

    This week, I made the shocking discovery that I'm going grey. Underneath my enormous thatch of long brown hairs, two brigades of white ones have been outflanking me just above the ears in a slow, silvery advance that had gone entirely unnoticed. The sad thing is that I can pinpoint the origin of...

    Was That Really England?

    As the hangovers ebb away and the clean-up begins, a nation struggles to reconcile their fuzzy memories of the game with what they believe they know about their team. Was that really England crashing home four goals against Croatia? Were those white shirts actually passing the ball around the...
  7. MLB - Those damn Yankee's move stadium

    Yep those awful Yankee's have moved their stadium and built a brand new one from the ground up. Now given the distance between the old stadium & the new; I'm kind of guessing it was to improve on the 55/60,000 capacity and thus money motivated...

    United's Community Shield victory

    As Dimitar Berbatov's last act for Tottenham Hotspur was to trudge around the pitch with all the speed and urgency of a man who has just left an all-you-can-eat steakhouse with half of the stockroom in his belly, I think we can safely assume that he won't be with the club for very much longer...
  9. So are you teased yet!?! (New strip)

    Oh yeah, wow, whoo let's get motivated people! I am cynical and a tad sarcastic on this topic, thus - apologies. BUT - Should we form a poll to find out whom has got their double sided sticky tape out and has cut out (with adult help for the scissors!) the 'snippets' of the new kit to make...

    Which young'un was asking about paramedic training?

    Can't remember which of the youngsters it was, but someone was recently asking about paramedic training. Well, in the Echo jobs section today is the following advert: Earn While You Learn - We are looking for new recruits to train to become future Paramedics. Starting salary 17,797 pa + uo...

    Managing Newcastle Isn't A Game

    There is a computer game in existence that, I’m afraid to admit, has cost me around 15 years of my life. It’s called Football Manager and I’ve owned every incarnation of it since 1993. It’s a wonderful way to waste time, it really is. You pick your club, assemble your players, choose a formation...
  12. Forest press

    HUNGRY TO PLAY ...AND WIN! 09:00 - 06 November 2007 Forest's promotion push will be fuelled by the squad's fierce appetite for success. That was the message today from skipper Ian Breckin, who admitted that in the past there were a few Reds players who were happy just to collect their pay...

    How poor were we?

    Well, due to work and other commitments yesterday was my first look at Southend this season. Couldn't believe how poor we looked. Still trying Barrett at left back, which has already been tried and proved not to work. This team looks totally unmotivated to me, Tilson has knocked all the morale...

    Surprisingly accurate personality test

    http://www.animalinyou.com/survey.asp When I worked at The Independent we used this personality test on ten people in the office and it was pretty much spot-on in every case. It only asks a handful of questions, so God knows how it works. Anywhere, here's me. I'm a rooster! Roosters are...

    Now should we get a bid of 3 mill (unlikely) then obviously it makes sense to let him go.. Same for 2 mill.. but with only a year to go at ahat level does it make sense to keep him and let him go on a free at the end of next season.. Is Freddy scoring the 20 plus goals that gets us promoted...

    Peggy Lokando article

    More about the wonderfully-named Peggy Young Guns - Peggy Lokando By Lambros Lambrou Curtailing a social life, being careful about diet and training three times a week in all conditions, on top of school commitments, may for many be considered a sacrifice, but for Arsenal Under-16s player...

    Best time to be playing the inbreds?

    Worst performance in years or bad day at the office? Tilly's failure to get them motivated or a day in the life of Southend United without McCormack in the centre of the park? As always, opinions will differ... However, there can be no doubting that we need to get the weekend's fixture out...

    mr and mrs brush

    this may be harsh for some people, but today to me outlined exactly where tilson and brush are going wrong. what do they do on a match day apart from stand there with there arms folded. they dont shout at the players to get them motivated, think tatically. for example why the F*k hav we got...
  19. Saturdays opposition -

    I thought Spurs were looking quite good until the little genius Fabregas started pulling a few strings - I wonder if the result will have them more or less motivated for the FA Cup - The Spurs guy at work thinks Robinson has completely lost it which is encouraging - I think MacCormack can...
