    Car advice

    Looking into buying a new car and just thinking about the possibilty of buying an ex-fleet car i.e 3 years old and half the normal price, but 90,000 miles on the clock. It's a diesl and automatic which has been fully serviced every 10,000 miles. We do around 5,000 miles a year tops so i don't...
  2. Great Wakering Rovers v Southend United

    Dear Fellow Shrimper. May I ask you all to try to get to the Rovers v Southend pre-season friendly match at Burroughs Park on Tuesday 12th July 2011, kick-off 7:45pm Last year I lost a great friend Martin Cranmer who followed Southend everywhere, rain or shine, top or bottom of the league. I...

    Some good news.

    Afternoon all, I am delighted to report that Southend United have made two cracking little signings today. Lucky Luca and Little Dan who play for the Under 11s or something like that have both been offered another year by the club. Having seen both in action for my mind it was never in doubt...

    Router Problems

    Our Virgin Media died completely just before full time in last night's round of matches (in SS2, did anyone else have the same problem?). This morning the TV and phone line returned, but the broadband hasn't, our wireless internet is on local only and won't connect properly. It appears the...

    Match 5

    At home 4th v 3rd. We have 3 sunny days so I'm taking the rare opportunity to bat first in the hope that conditions change on my dusty track. Thought about 3 spinners but have gone with 2 and 2 seamers with an all rounder on 5th for a very short spell. Defeat is not a word I want to hear as I...
  6. sounds like players have noticed it

    a passage from craig eastons blog I also felt for Rhys Evans as he was gutted about the way he conceded the first goal, especially after not putting a foot wrong and making a couple of decent saves against Oxford. He also made a couple of important stops later in the game which is testament to...

    Medal of Honour

    New Medal of Honour out today, some of the PS3 versions (and maybe Xbox) have the extra feature of Medal of Honour Frontline from the PS2 being remastered and included as a separate game. Looks good, but with COD Black Ops out next months seems a strange time to have released MoH.

    Memory Lane Pathe News Southend v Bristol Rovers FA Cup 1952

    Excellent footage from the old Southend Stadium in 1952 attendance 22,429. Just look at the pitch and some of the tackles how was that not a penalty? Southend players look pretty hard, the players of today would not last 2 minutes with that lot. Ah its Joe Sibley who squares up with the Bristol...
  10. the goalkeeper situation

    Basically, what now? does he give green some confidence and let him play, does he play a hardly capped youngster who is actually a future england number 1, or, does he give it to the crazy fool or will that just get in the way of his art career, Can someone make this into a poll...

    Chipper's Guide To F1 Stars

    My lad, in his infinite wisdom, is commemorating his 14th birthday by writing an a-b-c guide to the 2010 Formula One racing season. Now, normally, with petrolheads, they look and sound particularly trainspotterish about the sport. He, though, isn't. This is some of what he's written so far on...
  16. Would you have her courage?

    On Mr B's "Pictures of Birds" thread, Boris posted up a picture of a lady called Sarah Jane Howe. It was a bit different from the others on the thread because, as Boris pointed out, she seemed to have no nipples. Below is her story - and as asked in the thread title, would you have her courage?
  17. Starsuckers

    Thought I'd give this docu/film it's own thread as it was one of the finest, eye opening bits of TV that I've ever seen. Originally on More 4 this week, it's a stunning expose of how the media manipulates everything from the Red Tops, up to our perceptions of politicians and their links to such...

    Our job as Fans

    Between now and the end of the season is absolutely crucial. The blame game stops NOW! Stop blaming Tilly and his tactics. Stop blaming Christophe. Stop blaming Moussa. Stop blaming Macca. Just stop! This is all Ron's fault. The players started to perform, a great comeback against Carlisle...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 0-0 Yeovil Town

    Southend United 0 Yeovil Town 0 Well, what a waste of an afternoon that was. Nathan Jones gave us more entertainment than anything that actually happened on the pitch. The players have given up the fight it seems on that showing, so League Two will surely follow. Some questionable tactics again...
