    Campsite recommendations.

    Just got back from a few days at Forgewood camping near Tunbridge Wells. A great place, open fires allowed, camping in the woods allowed and plenty of places for kids to play. No caravans so no miserable Terry and June types sitting on deckchairs in matching windcheaters complaining about noise...

    Where are today's heroes?

    In the "good old days" we had the likes of Peter Butler, Paul Clark, Dave Martin, Super Roy, Andy Ansah, Ricki Otto, Spinner, Chris Powell etc etc. These players had different styles and skills BUT what they had in common was entertainment and commitment with a noticeable presence where/when it...

    Satisfying (if cruel) moments...??

    I mentioned in an earlier post that I would really enjoy grinning at Crawley Town, their manager and fans if we were to beat them in a hypothetical Play-Off Final at Wembley. So, what has been your most satisfying (if almost certainly cruel & heartless) moment at your opponents expense? Mine...
  5. Opinions

    A wee birdie told me that the gaffer has been studying types of players who have played for Southend and for h is own peace of mind he has watched videos and dvds of games of Southend teams of the past. Under the previous manager the style was no different direct to target man play in in...

    Help Me Work from Home!

    After a number of health issues, it has highlighted that health is my number 1 priority. I have a great job in the City but am sure the stress of it all is not helping my health. I am at a stage of thinking that work away from a desk or working from home would be the way forward. It is...

    Football Manager 2012 - January Ratings for Southend

    Looks like I'll have some higher guidelines to work with when doing the ratings for January due to our position at this stage. I should be able to rate 'key players' (of which there should be five) between 85 and 100 for Current Ability. Over the summer, due to our mid-table finish last...

    Songs that won't catch on, part 94

    With apologies to the Bangles All the old paintings on the tomb Say top of the league don'cha know Dicko moves too quick (oh whey oh) Then he falls down like a domino And the bazaar man by the Nile He got the money on a bet All the crocodiles (oh whey oh) Say it'll be a big FA Cup up-set...
  9. Hoofball , Longball or Play like Barcelona

    A wee birdie told me that there has been a lot of discussion in the coaches room about the comments on this forum about the style of football we are playing.And can assure all the supporters who have debated this topic even the half dozen Sturrock bashers that at no time in any club that the...

    Which type of Londoners would you wipe out first.

    I did this thead a few years ago and I cant remember for the life of me what the result was. Simple question. If you could wipe out the local types of one part of London for good which part would you go for and why. I really love London as a rule but I have never really liked North London...

    Now I Know What the Helmets For.

    Since joining my new company things have moved along in the recovery world for me. My gaffer is one of these chaps who wont ask you to do something he wouldn't or couldn't do himself which is in sharp contrast to the last lot. He loaths paperwork and if the true is told, sitting in his office...

    Attention creative types

    Saw this as a signature on a general football forum - Now I'm no Arsenal fan at all but I did like it. Imagine how great it would be to do something similar with Southend United...Collymore alongside Powell alongside Best etc etc..? Someone out there must have the skills to produce it...

    Hopefully most of you are familiar with the format, but equally I hope that some of our more recent members join in the fun. Idea is you nominate your favourite player who played for the club before 1980. If someone has already taken your favourite, you go for your second favourite and so on...

  18. Player Abilities

    Descriptions of the new Player Abilities are up. Have to love the last one... As promised here are some more details about the abilities that your players will perhaps soon be allocated. Note that there is a slight change in the percentage probability of your players having these abilities to...

    A Pig 36 Hours

    We all get them, we all have those days when you wish you could turn back the clock and stay in bed but where would be the fun in that. I knew it was coming because I had prior warning that there was no cover for sunday night and I had already been asked to help out. Not a major problem, I...

    Financial types, a quick question. If the Chancellor raises the stamp duty threshold this afternoon, is it an immediate change?
