    Lets invade France

    Ok....plenty of reasons for invading them (see below for some, I googled off the web earlier),so who's in?....and what can you bring to the team? 1. Riots. There is nothing the French like more than a riot. Half the time it doesn’t have to be about anything particular, they just like getting...
  2. Mindless fans abusing players

    At the end of the Cheltenham game yesterday there was a small number of fans just putting the knife into Liam Dickenson. I think everyone in agreement it was a dreadful performance yesterday but the whole team had a poor game. Dickenson certainly did not deserve to be the only player singled out...
  3. Rendition

    Im sure that certain posters are busy standing up for the rights of the great and wonderful irish non movers but how can anyone that loves sticking up links left right and sometimes even center not pass comment on the fact that thier much loved labour gov used to send people back to L;ibya to be...
  4. Alex Woodyard

    Just wanted to know peoples opinions on Alex Woodyard. He started 3 games last season, regularly featured for the reserves and has been very involved in pre season this year. I cannot see what he brings to the side, he cant pass, is not very big so physically not the best. Yet Sturrock & co seem...

    NAS Server / Wireless External Harddrive

    Another request, apologies, but unfortunately I always get a good response! Been looking into finding a way of setting up a media server with music/videos on to be shared around the house without my old PC having to be on all the time - and freeing up all the HDD space on my laptop. There...
  9. Question Is Corr worth sticking with?

    I have to question whether he is a help or a hindrance. He looks short of fitness, immobile and unless the ball its dropped right to him he would not spare a bead of sweat to get to it. Yes he has scored a few but he has missed more sitters than a blind assassin. In fact his goals have only got...

    Breaking News Progress on Buyout of Parade of Shops

    from Standard TALKS over a parade of shops holding up plans for a new Blues stadium are making good progress, a trader said. The future of the parade of eight shops, with seven flats above, on the corner of Victoria Avenue and Fairfax Drive, Southend, has been the sticking point for plans to...
  11. 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...
  12. A bit of respect and perspective?

    So we got a great win last night. And Paul Sturrock has assembled a new squad of players in a relatively short period of time. And it's all different and new and there's some promise of what might be achieved. I also have a lot of regard for what Paul Sturrock has achieved as a manager at...
  13. It's great being a Southend fan, isn't it...

    Haven't been on here since the end of last season and I can't believe how much has happened in 3 months! New team, new manager, new forum (love it btw). I'm not going to bother dragging up everything that happened over the last 3 months, but my view on things is as follows: 1. Tilson was in...

    Question Harry Crawford Song

    Now there has been a difference of opinion between me and the OBL that the Harry Crawford song is rude and should not be sung at games. So I am sticking a poll up to get a wider view on this. The words are taken from the old Nicky Bailey song Oh Harry Crawford you are the love of my life Oh...

    FM2010 (iPhone) Review

    When I was young I used to dream, not of a career in professional football, or of great riches or even of a date with Kim Wilde. Nay, those were the dreams of weaker folk. I dreamed of a portable 'Tracksuit Manager', that mid 1980s Spectrum classic. I dreamed of whiling away long car journeys to...

    Rubbish Arsenal Fans

    This is the uncut version of a column for tomorrow's Irish Examiner. I have to strip out 125 words before I can file, but I wanted the full version to get read before I took the knife to it. These people, they really, really grind my balls. The Arsenal fans. Not the Irish. They're lovely...

    Referees Are Cowards

    Another year, another desperate attempt by the Football Association to regain some semblance of control over their sport. This week's announcement that managers will no longer be able to criticise referees before the game has even started is just the latest in a series of inadequate sticking...
