    World Cup betting

    SkyBet are offering money back - as a free bet, up to £10 - on any losing bets on the World Cup winner. Definitely have to give that a go - I've already had a bet on France, may hold my nose and have a tenner on Germany (love the country, admire the football team, but hate seeing them win)

    the wrong foot

    Whilst I admire our solidity and workrte, one thing that annoys me about the way PB sends out is teams is his tendency to play wide midfielders on the wrong foot. I'm sure he'd say it keeps the team narrow and solid etc, but it means we're not seeing the best of players like Worrall and Weston -...

    Do you admire his brashness or is this just plain old fashioned stealing?

    A US company has revealed that one of its employees had outsourced his job to someone in China so he could surf the internet and watch cat videos on youtube. Apparently he earned several hundred thousand dollars a year and paid around $50,000 to someone in China to do the 9-5. A clever...

  7. coughlan on radio

    I admire him admitting the truth more than sturrock usually does. But he was saying about the players coming in and saying the reason there better away from home is the fans and he didn’t buy it. I do there was good support in the north bank considering how bad we were (apart from the fans...

    Question One team in Essex?

    Just wondered what peoples thoughts are on our standing alongside our friends from up North? In terms of infrastructure, ability and indeed a viable future; are Col Ewe now light-years ahead of us? One thing that remains unchanged is potential fanbase in which we are (for the moment) and always...

  10. Question Is Luggy Correct ?

    I admire Luggy for the work he's done in a short space of time. But is he correct to state to fans when they should vent their anger if they have to? And by stating it on eve of a match does it frustrate fans even more that they'll do the opposite to what he says if the team isn't performing...

    Southend fans could set a standard

    This season has started as we all wanted but are the fans setting the same standards as the team? Instead of moronic chants of "We pay your benefit" to Northern clubs and references to rioting recently, why not set a standard for others to admire and chant only for Southend United. Yes, ignore...

    Cantona compares Ferguson to Gandhi

    In an interview with the New York Times, Cantona came up with the following gem when asked about Sir Alex: "Today, he is like Gandhi on the game side. With Manchester, I prefer to say, to think, to realise that Ferguson is a kind of genius." Now, I admire Ferguson as much as the next man...

    West Ham Fans Fall Short

    Having successfully unjinxed Nicklas Bendtner last week by lampooning his form in front of goal, I wanted to use this week's column to state, quite categorically, that there is not a force on earth that can save Southend United from relegation and financial oblivion. Got that? Hopeless cause. Ha...

    Question Martin Out

    Sorry but i've had enough with this guy. Not only does he give us loads of ******** reports and hopes for a new stadium, he also makes up ******** stories in attempts to win the fans over. I respect the guy and i do admire what he's done for the club but i think it's time it was handed to the fans.
