    Nervous Gunners Slip Through

    Cesc Fabregas is the youngest Arsenal captain since Tony Adams and, appropriately enough, the new era began much like the old one. The Gunners were tentative and unsure of themselves, but recovered their composure to sneak a victory. One nil to the Arsenal? Meet the new boss, same as the old...

    Interview with an Exile: Part 5 - SpanishShrimper

    This week, Nick (SpanishShrimper), from Spain answers the questions. I haven't had the time to check his answers, so hope there is nothing too embarrassing etc. that shouldn't be here.... :unsure: 1) How long have you been an exile? A) Well technically, since I left the Southend area...

    A Good Weekend In Telford!

    Despite our shocking, dire performance at Telford, I had a wonderful weekend in Telford, Ironbridge & Shrewsbury! The best part for me was when my G/F Jane & I visited Ironbridge to admire the area & most of all their famous Bridge. Having spent a few hours exploring the area, having had cream...

    Barry Fry

    Seems like we could be up against him in Pre Season, as its rumoured he's interested in the available job at The Daggers! I haven't heard anything about it myself, but their board is full of posts about him and it's supposed to have been mentioned on Sky Sports News.

    McCain picks Sarah Palin for running mate

    BBC Female to pick up the disenchanted Hilary fans, younger than Obama to counter McCain's age, social conservative to appease the religious right. I'm no fan of the Republicans, but you have to admire their political minds on occasion.

    How To Shower

    How to shower like a woman: Take off clothing and place it in sectioned laundry basket according to whites and coloureds. Walk to bathroom wearing long dressing gown. If you see husband along the way, cover up any exposed areas. Look at your womanly physique in the mirror - make mental...

    3rd Test

    So, England win the toss and bat. Goes without saying this is a massive test, and England can have no excuses with a full hand to choose from. As Im sure most of you know by now, this isnt the team Id have chosen (In form Ravi or Samit Patel over Colly anyday / just about anyone who can...

    Story of an Italian Boy: Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl'. The priest asks, 'Is that you, little Joey Pagano ?' 'Yes, Father, it is.' 'And who was the girl you were with?' 'I can't tell you, Father, I don't want to ruin her reputation' Well, Joey, I'm sure...
  10. Ron?

    after reading about our latest 3 listed players i was left speechless, three of our best players from last season being listed is not a step in the right direction in my opinion, these are the kind of players we should be holding onto! On the other hand i completely agree that the club can...
  11. The First 48

    My favourite TV show right now is 'The First 48', shown on Crime & Investigation Network (Sky 531). It follows the first 48 hours of murder cases, as apparently the Detectives' chances of solving a murder case are halved if they don't get a lead in the first 48 hours. The camera follows...

    Chelsea v Liverpool

    Frank Lampard has never been the most popular of footballers, certainly not with fans of other clubs, but you'd have to have a heart of stone not to stand up and applaud his astonishing composure after a emotional night at Stamford Bridge. Seconds after seeing a goal they were already busy...
  13. Today's Times - Southend Report

    Good report on our game in today's Times. Lots of compliments about us: - a combative and organised team - much to admire in Tilson's team - a defence of four powerful no-nonsense six-footers (maybe a bit generous to AB's height I think!) - Lee Barnard a genuine bargain Only spoiled slightly by...

    Football League Team of the Week

    I know a few of us saw Barnard and Macca's names mentioned in some of the weekend papers' teams of the week, but on the Football League's OS we actually manage to have two players - Tommy Black, which I in no way dispute - but Adam Barrett? I admire Bazza along with everyone else, but his...

    Oh dear, Tilson has learnt nothing.....!

    Anyone here agree with the starting 11 today? Still as stubborn, i will play the useless Matt Harrold and i refuse to make a substitution before 8 mins from time. At least in the Championship you can admire the decent football played by the opposition, today they were both garbage. Orient were...

    Your Unsung Heroes

    We all have people we admire, whether people in the present day or in history. However, not all our heroes are the obvious ones. So, do you have any 'unsung heroes' you would wish to nominate. My two against the field are: 1. Lieutenant William Bligh - cruelly depicted as a cruel and callous...

    People you hated but now admire

    Responding to a post in another thread it dawned on me that I used to really hate Roy Keane, but now find him admirable. Others I used to dislike, but now like, albeit grudgingly in some cases are: Michael Portillo Shane Warne (along with Rolf Harris the only Australian I can bestow such an...

    Five teams you love to love...

    ...other than Southend United, of course. As the counterpoint to Uxbridge's thread, let's get that lovin' feelin' going on. My five clubs are: 1. Flamengo. My first love in football, growing up in Rio. How can you fail to love a side that has Zico up front and Junior supplying all the guile...
