  1. New station at the Airport?

    Anyone know where the new station is going to be? By Tracy Alloway Oct. 19 (Bloomberg) -- London Southend airport, 40 miles east of the U.K. capital, is counting on the 2012 Olympics, a longer runway and faster travel to the city's financial district to help boost traffic 60-fold over the...

    Another Freddy Thread - Is RM Being very Shrewd

    Sorry for starting another Freddy thread, but I want to congratulate Ron Martin on his current stance of holding out for more than £1.5m+ We all know that Freddy is worth probably closer to £2.5m if it wasn't for his contract situation, so my thoughts are why not hold out for that at the...

    When Acts of Kindness

    Last night I got to London Bridge for my usual 17.52pm back towards Brigthton. As I put my ticket through the barrier and looked up to Platform 9 it turned out to be a total bun fight due to the cancellation of the previous two Brighton bound trains. I took a picture on my mobile phone as...

    Escape to Essex!

    I can now see the reason for the delay in planning for Fossets re ROADS and access. The whole exit strategy from WHLane was farcical, gridlocked cars, traffic management stuttering and wayning, frustrated drivers cutting up on the inside and causing more grief. I was amazed to see the Shrimper...

    There's a Moose (Moussa)

    Sack Tilly? Drop Freddy? All reasonably insane suggestions, but slightly off the mark. Today though, I come to you with a relegation-dodging wheeze so foolproof, it might as well be the lovechild of the Two Harry's- Redknapp and Bassett. The solution, my friends, is to play Frank Moussa...

    Not dead yet

    I can't believe so many people have written us off already. I think people are being overly critical on Ipswich here. I thought Ipswich looked a decent enough team but, crucially, clinical. It's only saddening that our usual clinical source of goals somehow misfired. I can't believe...
  8. Championship Manager

    I am not sure if this belongs in this forum, but thought it might amuse a few of you. I am still playing a game of CM (01/02 version) that I started about four years ago. I haven't looked at it for a while, as it was just getting too easy. Starting with the actual Blues team of 2001 (one of...

    3 pops this week

    20yo Wing back to solid defending - now on transfer list and definitely the last of the old guard that I've been waiting to pop and sell. All remaining defenders are part of this season's new strategy - buy them young, train them quick only made possible with a patient build up, a solid...

    Delancey/FF/SUFC

    Over the last few years members of the Shrimpers Trust have spent many hours in discussions with Ron Martin, Colin Wagman, the Chief Executive of Southend Council (George Kraweic and now Rob Tinlin), Lansbury and several other interested parties over the future of the club and the proposed...

    Hattrick Training

    So what training technique do you use and why?  Do you train to invest or just train the players you have? Personally having just got back in I've gone for a long term defensive strategy as I'm prepared to wait to reap the benefits and build a long term squad.  With each 9-11 week rollout of 10...
  18. SUFC v defensive minded opposition

    I don't know how many of you have read the comments I made after some particularly heated debates on Saturday night and indeed yesterday, where the general concensus was that the team is playing cr*p and there are some individual performances that are not up to standard... My opinion is that I...
