    Question Interactive Novel Writing

    Ok, bit of a weird one this. I have here the first 1,500 words of a story, battered out in an afternoon to no distinct end or conclusion. It's a first draft, it hasn't been polished or checked and, critically, it doesn't have a direction. I was thinking of a British version of Lost/Journey To...

    Cup against Non League opposition (1922)

    Harry On Up The Table

    What a turnaround! Tottenham Hotspur, who accumulated just two points in over two months with Juande Ramos, have now racked up seven in the last seven days and you can put them all down to the Harry Redknapp factor. The former Portsmouth boss has put a spring in Spurs' step and after two...

    Mark Rawle at Redditch

    Latest match report - my highlights SOUTHPORT 2-3 REDDITCH UNITED By Andy Mitchell The Reds came back from two goals down to beat the league leaders at Haig Avenue and fully deserved their three points for rolling up their sleeves in difficult conditions. United made one change to the side...

    Shepherd's Bush Shrimper's Scunny Report

    Apologies for the delay with this one. Makes less depressing reading than reports of our humping in Bristol though.... It’s fair to say that the North Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire region is not a happy hunting ground for us Shrimpers. We very rarely seem to pick up points at the lovely...

    Orient thrashing, the 'Taking' of the Spread, and Wiggy's Identity Finally Revealed

    I had every intention of defying my usual trend of taking only 4 photos every trip to see Southend play, but the above is all I got this time around :D Friday morning started bright and early at 7am, where Billy no mates here made his way to Shannon Airport. Got a sneaky, and rather greasy...

    Scolari Still Not Happy

    Under ordinary circumstances with an ordinary manager, a 4-0 victory in the Champions League might be considered worthy of celebration. However, it is rapidly becoming apparent that Luiz Felipe Scolari is very far from ordinary. "We did not play very well," he complained afterwards. "We made...

    Ex-Shrimpers League Goalscorers: # Week 4

    Case solved extremely quickly and back to business in the UK, in what can only be described as a spartan weekend for the non-league shrimpers.. not a sniff of a league goal.. As already mentioned only Kightly, Hooper and Paynter managed goals.. and all now occupy the top 3 places Week 3...

    Life In The A-League

    Before I headed off to Oz I said I'd write a regular blog about what it's like supporting a team on the other side of the world. Here is my first effort by way of an introduction to the Queensland Roar - Queensland Roar vs Adelaide United – 24th August 2008 Come On! Imagine this scenario...

    The seasons just begun...

    The seasons just begun... and there is so much pessimism on this board it is unbelievable, with so much talk about player confidence - I think its about time that I tried to install some confidence, regardless of how little, back into the people of this board. The seasons just begun... and so...
  12. Funniest Southend Moment

    What's the most funniest thing you have whilst watching southend? Mines got to be when we played Col U for the first time in league one at home. One of our fans in a string vest sitting at the front of the West Stand had a fight with Mark Yeates, when he was taking a throw in. He was ejected...

    The Excuse - Joke The wife came home early and found her husband in their bedroom making love to a very attractive young woman and was somewhat upset. 'You are a disrespectful pig!' she cried.
