    Brown: Players will have to leave

    Not particularly subtle, Prosser, Hurst? Could be an interesting week and a half...

    Anthony Gerrard

    Doesnt like Chris Powell, has a subtle dig at Phil Brown (IMO), and plays for free at Shrewsbury http://www.theleaguepaper.com/latest-news/football-league-division-one/2799/a-love-of-football-comes-at-no-cost-for-anthony-gerrard/

    Atkinson having a subtle pop at the tactics?

    Is it getting to the players how the manager is stifling the game when we go in front? I think especially in midfield we have good players and they're just not being allowed to play. I've seen Deegan and Timlin getting a bit of stick on here for going sideways and backwards. Is that really...

    Ukip

    http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/aug/01/conservative-voters-ukip-coalition-poll A new poll suggestst that 30% of Tory voters would like to go into coalition with UKIP after the next election. No suprises there then.It won't happen though. With only one or two MP's, (and hopefully...
  6. Annoying opponents 11

    Was thinking about who really irked me last season and I nearly have an 11 of conners, divers, gobshites, timewasters and generally really annoying individuals. Leaving a few gaps in case anyone wants to add anyone. So here is my rogue's 11 (minus a few) including manager and ref - I have...

    The box set thread

    What are you watching, what would you recommend? I am currently watching King Of The Hill. Fantastically well observed. Not laugh out loud stuff but very subtle and clever - 9.5/10 I recently watched Sons of Anarchy and gave up 25 minutes into the first episode. It could only have been more...

    At first I thought this article was some kind of subtle Chris Morris satire... http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/12/12/the-affluenza-defense-judge-rules-rich-kids-rich-kid-ness-makes-him-not-liable-for-deadly-drunk-driving-accident/
  9. Next Seasons Kit!

    I'm beginning to see something subtle happening here! Will we be doing a Cardiff City and changing our kit to ORANGE! My reasoning is we're bankrolled by sainsburys (orange) now managed by Phil Brown (orange) if the new badge has an orange on it then possibly more proof. The final clue could...

    My view on the season as a whole and those 83 points gained

    There's lot of talk on here that we got 83 points which should/would have been enough for promotion in other years. A points tally in itself is meaningless, if you have a lot of strong teams consistently winning and picking up points you will need more than average to gain automatic promotion...

    Convert a mate to SUFC

    I am really quite pleased with myself that I have converted a mate from a 'Gooner' to a Southend fan. Now this has taken a lot of patience and guile, but it can be done. Firstly, I invited him to a game, then a drink after with the lads. Much subtle criticism of armchair premiership Sky (other...

    Are we being primed for a relaxation in drug laws?

    Am I alone in detecting a subtle change in the media narrative regarding drugs? Instead of stories of how about drug use can damage people's lives we've instead recently had stories about the impurity of cocaine and about Mexico being at threat from turning into 1990s Colombia. Neither story...

    The Blonde Mortician

    A man who just died is delivered to a local mortuary wearing an expensive, expertly tailored black suit. The female blonde mortician asks the deceased's wife how she would like the body dressed. She points out that the man does look good in the black suit he is already wearing...
  14. Rules Are Rules. Unless You're Portsmouth.

    When Portsmouth’s 4th owner of the season presumably won the club in a game of pass-the-financially-defunct-parcel, did nobody explain the basic rules of English football? The news that Portsmouth have applied for extraordinary circumstances to the Premier League in order to sell their...

    Memory Lane Episode No 5 Season 1931-32

    I'm not sure how these episodes are going down but here's the fifth episode of season 1931-32 as was printed in the Oldham programme. No. 5 IMPRESSIVE AWAY POOR AT HOME Southend, despite poor showings at the Kursaal had been very impressive on their travels and were top of the Third Division...

    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...

    Memory Lane Special Report on SUFC's previous homes

    Nice piece from the Echo's site today (I know there's no paper today), could have gone in the other forum I guess, but thought it kind of went alongside the Hall of Fame stuff we've been doing. Sing the Blues for stadiums past 12:10am Saturday 30th May 2009 Comments (0) Have your say » By...

    Football Must Refer To Cricket

    If you've been keeping an eye on the cricket recently then you'll have noticed some interesting experiments taking place in the West Indies. No, don't worry, England are still reassuringly hopeless, they'll never toy with that. It's the officials who are changing; test-piloting a new system of...

    More Bloody Spurs Muck

    Gary Megson must have been furious when he woke up on Sunday morning and saw the backpages. The Bolton Wanderers manager had all week to look forward to a trip to White Hart Lane and then they go and boot out the floundering manager less than 24 hours before kick-off. The swift arrival of Harry...
