  1. Vodafone

    Found this on another forum, had me in stitches! Dear All I thought I would share my ongoing, and unresolved, problems with Vodafone in case anyone had never used their crummy tax-avoiding service before. In summary, I have spoken to a total of 14 (forteen) different customer services...

    Southend Stadium

    I wrote the following article which appeared in the Crewe programme on Wednesday, and knowing that many don't buy a programme thought I would post it here. May be of intrerest to some of you, but despite being historical in content its still very relevent to now. DoDtS SOUTHEND STADIUM The...
  3. A team we call United

    For the older members out there, back in the late 60's, early 70's a couple of brothers, the Bushells made a film called 'A team called United'. I remember watching a reel to reel version in the Shrimpers club as a young lad. I have hunted everywhere to see see if the footage is anywhere on...

    My Blackberry/Facebook

    Nowt to do with gaming, but a question for people who are far more technically minded than me. I've blocked loads of game requests (and indeed, some people's updates) on FB because I got fed up with people wanting to give me cows and things or finding out who they were following, however, on my...

    Drama of last few games a historical perspective

    How many seasons have been decided on the last few games of the season and/or also decided on other teams for our place for the following season? In 1931/2, we had our best ever season to date, with 2 games left we were 3 points below Reading and Fulham. That week, Southend beat Torquay, but...

    The french presidential election............and beyond

    From my Facebook Page A worrying night in the French Presidential Election............and my worry is not for 2012 but for 2017. Nearly a third of French voters chose to vote for the extreme left or extreme right, with a far larger majority opting for the latter. Between 18% and 20% appear...

    Ron Martin.

    Firstly, please appreciate I expect a barrage coming my way. However, I have to ask. As I have been mostly living abroad in the recent past (am back home in Southend wheeheeyy) I have followed The Shrimpers from afar. I see results, read match reports and new items and keep up with the gossip...

    So, Is there a blame?

    It really is getting quite desperate now. 18 points from the last 48 is very worrying indeed. If this continues for the next 14 games, we will struggle to make the top 7, let alone top 3. So, is it: The tactics/selections/leadership skills of the manager that are lacking? The inability of the...

    Question Football oratory

    Seeing that the old chestnut of 'Your first ever Southend match' has turned up again, I thought that I'd try a thread that I can't remember seeing before (though I'm sure I'll be corrected by someone). Listening to the BP interviews with Martin,Timlin and Sampson, I'm sure that they will each...

    Aldershot Town & Ron Martin's act of generosity

    So this morning I receive a letter from Ron Martin, which reads as follows; Dear Mr Fitzgerald, As many of you will know the income received from the sale of tickets relating to League games is always retained in full, by the Home Club. Whilst it is certainly not for me to judge the policy of...

    My dear chap, if indeed you are PS or one of his stalwarts, I do hope you get a chance to read this. Of course your true identity may come in an anagram of your name ( one clue I RM ). If this is true I still hope you get to read this! I have heard so much about 'confidence players' blaah blaah...

    Pre-Match Thread Southend "United" v Bradford City

    What with all that has gone on this week, you would be forgiven for forgetting there is a game tomorrow night!... So, how on earth is this going to go? Bradford come here sitting one place and 3 points above the trap door. They have not won in 8 league games and are without a win all season on...

    A considered opinion

    There is an air of inevitability about defeat against Bradford on Friday evening, and when (not if) this occurs the time for big decisions will have been reached. That will be six games without a win, and, at least 12 without a good performance. For a team that was top of the league, two games...

    Lost Scarf in Cheltenham yesterday

    Hi all, After the game yesterday outside the away stand, someone handed to me a scarf that was found on the floor, he said he wasn't a Southend Fan and asked if I wanted it, so I took it off his hands. I spoke to a copper from Glos Police to hand it in (and do a good deed), and he said to keep...

    PPI Claiming vs ethics

    two questions about this... I personally wouldnt claim back any PPI i may or may not have suffered. Im sure there are a percentage of people out there who were genuinly mis-sold it, but for the majority, by claiming it back, you are literally adimitting to being an idiot? Do people really have...

    Parent Text App: How to text your children...

    I'm intrigued by this for a variety of reasons... I don't have children, but spend all day every day communicating with young people. Texting is a powerful force and so often communication takes place between parents and their children in this way. Indeed, even at 27 often I will text my own...

    PL Weekly Points Points for Round 16

    A wretched week for many, indeed if it wasn't for Creepys result there would've probably been more ducks than an England batting card :sad: that said some clever wildcard play by seves and the chief meant it wasn't doom and gloom across the board 9 - seves 7 - chieftans 6 - Dad of Dave the...
