    "Something kind of hit me today..."

    Strange that a thought from a bygone life should hit me today ... but here it is anyway. I got stuck on the M25 en route to a midweek home game against Northampton back in the Autumn of our super season 1990-91. We'd played them just recently in whatever the Leyland DAF was back then (Sherpa...

    Slippers

    Does anyone else wear slippers? The recent cold spell has prompted me to break out my tartan Pirelli carpet slippers and I am now wondering why I ever stopped wearing them.
  3. 50 games which defined a decade - Part 2 (2005-2009)

    1st April 2005: Southend United 2 – 0 Bristol Rovers (League Two) The second half of the decade began with our beloved Shrimpers surging up the league on the back of a series of virtuoso performances from new signing Freddy Eastwood. From the second week of January we went on a long unbeaten run...

    Sacked for helping 'the poor'

    The Bank of America fired 23 year-old Jackie Ramos of Fairburn, Georgia for breaking with bank policy to help desperate customers find a way to pay back their debts and avoid penalty fines. Listening to her explanation for her actions, I want to say that I would join a bank employing people like...

    Memory Lane Episode No 7 Season 1931-32

    Here's Episode No. 7 of Season 1931-32 as was printed in the Southend v Bristol Rovers programme, I hope I haven't overdosed you all. Extracts from "The Forgotten Years of the Kursaal" by Peter William Baker No. 7 THE BIGGEST ATTRACTION IN THE THIRD DIVISION Record gates at Clapton Orient...
  7. EIEIEIO Up the Football League we go.

    No players, no money, no beer but that hasn't stopped Six of the Best (years) Tilly from getting us up to 11th in the table this evening, only 6 points off the play-offs. A mighty fine achievement, all things considered.
  8. Five Star Pac Man Reigns Supreme.

    If ever there was any doubt regarding Manny Pacquiao's claim to the pound-for-pound crown, it was swept away with a simply stunning performance last night. The Phillipino, dubbed Pac Man, stormed to a win over the supremely talented Miguel Cotto and, in doing so, claimed his fifth world title...
  9. You've got to hand it to him

    I've never met the man, so haven't seen his skills first hand, but you've got to hand it to him. Ron Martin must have incredibly slick PR skills. He seems to be like teflon. Whenever there is something bad to face, either someone else is put forward to take the flak or he somehow wins people...

    halloween fun

    A man is walking home alone late one foggy Halloween night, when behind him he hears: BUMP... BUMP... BUMP... Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him. BUMP...

    Alan McCormack - Why not sold?

    This has been going round in my head. When we rejected Millwall's 200k bid, I genuinly stopped worrying about the widding up order as I thought we must have the money to pay. If (as it clearly seems we do not) have the cash, why was he not sold? Administrators will ensure any valuable assets...
  12. Peter (spud) taylor, jobless.

    Peter Taylor has parted company with Wycombe after they have not won since August 29th and lie second from bottom. Must say that I found his comment before playing Southend at Wycombe very strange when he said that he would settle for a point. You should have the attitude that you need to win...

    RIP Douglas Jardine

    I know he died 50 odd years ago, but he'll be spinning in his grave more than a Murali chuck. Angelo Mathews hit a single out to midwicket and as it was only Graeme Swann, turned to come back for a second run despite the fact it was only ever a run and a half. Mathews then ran into Onions, the...
  14. Lester Bangs

    Any plumbers about?

    Ok I've got a bit of a problem. For about my week whenever I've flushed my loo a terrible foghorn type noise starts. Tonight I notice that theres almost no water in the cistern and this foghorn noise seems to happen all the time. Strangely I've lifted to ball valve float and rested it on top...
  15. Legalise drugs article.

    Taken from the New Scientist, fascinating article that I totally agree with. I know it's an age old topic on here but it's a slow day. Far from protecting us and our children, the war on drugs is making the world a much more dangerous place. SO FAR this year, about 4000 people have died in...

    District 9 - anyone been to see it?

    I have. I bloody loved it. Without giving anything away story wise for the uninitiated, discuss it in here. The trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6PDlMggROA - really didn't tell you ANYTHING about what the central storyline of the film would be, merely the background setup, so after...
  17. Mad people you have/are dating/married to.

    The mighty shrimpers thread got me thinking of a old flame that was a real life honey nut loop.She came from a well to do family and lived in a big house and i was a council house scumbag that would never ever be good enough for her in the eyes of her father. I dated her for a long 4 years until...

    Naaaarwich

    Anyone see the highlights of their game against Scumchester? The new keeper was awful! There old keeper left for a few million I think to sign for Cardiff so they signed this Greek keeper very cheap and from looking on a message board they were very optimistic about his signing but now are all...

  20. ESB's League One Preview - Part 2

    Millwall Last Season: 5th Manager: Kenny Jackett Key Player: Nadjim Abdou, Midfielder. Prediction: 6th Those delightful Bermondsey boys were incredibly unlucky in the Play-Off final last term, losing to Matt Sparrow at Wembley. Keeping their squad together and another season under Kenny...
