    Totty Cup - round 2, half-time scores

    Well, as you'd expect, the 2nd round contests are being fought gamely by all the contestants, and as yet it is too early for any of our contestants to be dreaming of the semi-finals. However, the matches are progressing as follows: Melissa Theuriau v. Rachael Stevens In what appears so far to...

    Blow Your ****ing Noses !

    I'm going away for a week on Sunday. Dodging the ignornant pricks snorting, sniffing, sneezing and spluttering is proving tricky. How hard can it be to pack a hanky/tissues. I moved seat this morming due to some dozy ignorant spluttering cow who then proceeded to phone her mate up saying that...

    Would you support this policy?

    Times are slow in the world of mortgage broking at the moment. We did however have a call today from a potential customer who called up on the off chance. This customer basically told Anna in the office that she was claiming full unemployment benefit as she was unable to find work. As she had...

    Tommy Cooper

    You can't beat a bit of Tommy so which was his best? 1. Two blondes walk into a building..........you'd think at least one of them would have seen it. 2. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any. 3. I went to the butchers the other day and I bet him 50...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 6

    “We’ve always said from the start that we’re not long-term football club owners.” In the middle of December 2004, Colin Wagman of Delancey Estates revealed that he had been approached by Ron Martin with the view to sell the company’s 50% stake in Southend United. Delancey had invested heavily in...
  9. Sodje/Clarke/Barrett

    With Sodje back from suspension, AB recently proving his doubters wrong and Clarke being probably our best player in recent weeks I guess we have a rare selection problem. So who would you go for at the back against Cardiff and who do you think Tilly will opt for. I think I'd keep Barrett...

    Wiggy's ratings

    Flavs 6 very little to do, good kicking. Hammel 7 much better and won a nice few headers Hunt 7 caught for pace but chipped in with a goal Barratt 8 is silencing the detractors that think he should be in league 1, another great committed performance Clarke 8 distribution still not great but...

    The Power of The Zone

    The current online poll on the Sky Sports football homepage is "Who are your Carling Cup favourites?" Who fancies proving we can skew yet another online vote in our favour? Current leaders are Man Utd with 28%, we have 1%!

    Brush's interview on BW...

    Interesting radio interview with Brush on BW talking about Clarke and transfers etc. He says its proving very frustrating to get players in (tell us about it!!) because we are going for other teams 'good first team players'. Now its obvious to put 2 and 2 together once we know...

    Who will be the bottom three next year?

    Was going to make a poll of this but that was proving far too annoying. So instead, which teams do you think will make up the bottom three this year? To make things easier, here are some teams that might feature according to the bookies.... Southend, Col******r, Barnsley, QPR, Plymouth, Sheff...

    Wikipedia Game

    Bored at work today, we kinda invented a game using Wikipedia. First, we each challenged the other person to find a link between two people in less than 10 steps - which proved fairly straight forward! (For reasons unknown now, the very first challenge was the WWE Wrestler, Euguene, to...

    New Southend radio station

    I know Reading Shrimper has already posted some information about the four organisations bidding for the new licence for a radio station in Southend, but seeing as so many people on here are so fed up with coverage of the team on local radio, particularly Essex FM, I thought I'd look at the four...
  16. The best albums of 2006 so far

    Of the 20 or so new albums I've checked out so far this year, the clear front runners are... Mogwai Mr Beast Some are saying a return to form but IMO, they've never made a bad album. That said, this album more than the last few efforts sounds like a band on top of their game and...
  17. Pete Doherty "manufactured" by the KLF!

    Sadly, just an unfounded rumour that's been circulating on t'internet for the past week. How great would it be if it were true though?
  18. Southend in the FA Youth Cup

    Can anyone out there help me? I am trying to compile a full list of all the matches that Southend United have played in the FA Youth Cup since its inception. This information is proving pretty hard to come by, so I was wondering if anyone has this sort of information hidden away that they can...

    My take on Saturday.....

    I havent read any of the other match reviews on here yet, I didnt want that to affect what my take on things was, but it will be interesting to see if I concur with everybody else. Overall, I thought it was a fairly lacklustre performance, in more ways than one, and I think overall, we would...
  20. So called "bigger" teams

    I've found the arrogance of some of the supporters/managers of more fashionable clubs laughable. - Ronnie Moore's comments ("we should be steamrollering teams like Southend") - Swindon fans thinking they'll beat our "tinpot" club - A Tranmere fan stating that...
