    Pie or Quiche? Settle my dispute.

    I am currently eating a food. Its got a pastry base and the middle consists of Bacon abd Egg. Now the top of bacon and egg has a thin and sporadic pastry covering. I must stress it does not cover the whole top and is just pastry strips. I think this is a Quiche as it has a almost no lid. My...

    Peter Clarke.

    Seems a bit unfair in a way to single out one player for praises after I just witnessed 11 heros out on the pitch but............. Clarkey today put in one of the single handed best perfofmances I have seen in a Blues shirt for years. I cannot even begin to count how many times he won his...

    Injury shock for Pakistan

    Both Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammed Asif who were due to take a further drugs test this week (the rest of the squad took theirs last week) have been ruled out of the world cup through injury. This is apparently completely unrelated to the fact that these two had previously failed drugs tests, but...

    Sheffield Wednesday 3 Southend 2

    Another game, another defeat. But this was a completely different game to the defeats at Sunderland, when we were simply outclassed by a quality team, and the home game against Palace, where both teams played poorly but Palace snatched victory. We started brightly with Maher releasing Foran...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 6

    “It was only four years ago that this club was losing £2.3m a season,” Ron Martin enthused as he published the accounts for the financial year ending July 2002 which showed that Southend United has lost “just” £707,665, the fourth year in succession that the club had reduced its losses. It was a...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 3

    "There will be no stadium at Fossetts Farm and the future of the football club remains at Roots Hall." A year after being ousted from position of chairman at Southend United, John Main returned to warn fans that a new stadium was merely a pipe-dream. His words, posted on a Southend United...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 1

    Cast your mind back almost ten years; could you honestly see us reaching this pivotal moment in the history of Southend United? Back in 1998 the football club was skint; it couldn't pay its players, it couldn't pay its creditors, it couldn't pay the Inland Revenue; the future was so bleak that...

    I witnessed two of the worst TV Shows.

    Due to a recent split with Mrs DtS I am now reduced to watching a bit more TV that I have been used too. Last night reached an all time low. 9pm and even Champ Man could not take my mind of the split. However a ray of light came to me "Ghost Hunting with Girls Aloud". Fantastic...

    Female Bum Fun

    I do like a good Friday debate. I was out last night with a few of the lads on a boozy one on Brighton and we were debating the above topic. One of my mates "claimed" to have read a stat that 90% of men have done it. I think that might be a bit high Another mate revealed that his...
  19. So are our players good enough then?

    Some on here have been saying our players are simply not good enough for this league. Others have said we do have the talent in the squad. we have just been unlucky.
