    Steve Tilson.....

    Evening all - Just thought I'd share the fact that I dropped Tilly an email earlier today, basically saying what a decent job I thought he was doing under the circumstances, and that he and the team had the full backing of all the supporters (I assume, I'm not trying to speak on behalf of you...
  3. Ref Watch ... Carlisle away

    A somewhat shorter ref watch (for a somewhat shorter referee). Man in charge on Saturday is 29-year old, Geoff Eltringham from Sunderland. This is his first Southend game .... indeed it is his first League One game. In his first season, this will be his eigth game as a League referee having...

    Dwight Yorke - Born to Score

    BORN TO SCORE? What would you do if you were a professional footballer? How would you act? I know what you're going to say, you're going to say the same as me. You're going to say that you'd give it everything. You're going to say that you'd be tee-total, that you'd train hard, that you'd...
  5. The Last Post at Melin

    Visited Ieper to see/learn the madness of WW1,The last post played at 8pm every night was a truly moving experience,The 56000 soldiers missing in action is a very sobering thought.The battle of Passchendale must rank as the worse act of madness from crazed generals of all time,Allowing troops to...

    Wenger's Bar

    I'm afraid I won't be writing a column this week, or indeed ever again. Yep, I'm hanging up my presspass and shutting my laptop for the final time. I'm off to France, you see. Arsene Wenger's assertion that he learned everything he needed to know about football in a pub gave me food for thought...
  8. The Man from Uefa. He say Okay.

    Strikers around the world rejoice! You can indeed feign a collision with a goalkeeper, be awarded a penalty, and even escape punishment when replays show you for the cheat you are. UEFA bowed to Arsenal's appeal and today retracted Eduardo's two-game ban levied at him in the wake of his antics...
  9. Time to get over it!!

    Ok, so we've all had a little moan. Personnally I think it's time to get on with things. Revs, a lovely bloke - great cooking tips - but the goals to games ratio speaks volumes. Betsey just didn't cut it - so why not put them out on loan and relieve the wage bill???? We have more than enough...

    Silence from Tilly, Brush and Ron

    Not a word from any of them since saturdays match, not one comment from yesterday or indeed today. Whilst Geoff King has made himself a numpty, shouldnt our beloved chairman have made some sort of statement? Surely he can see that King is making a fool of himself and shouldve intervened...

Big Brother can reveal that this was judged by Echo Sports Journalist Chris Phillips. Big Brother will also announce that the winner of immunity this week was indeed Grays Blue...

    Question Older women you fancy...

    At the risk of appearing to be ageist with the handful of PC obsessed individuals who rounded on my other thread yesterday, I was wondering about the "more mature" ladies that zoners find desirable? Setting a 45 plus limit, I'll give you a babe I have always had the hots for and I feel is...

    Question Non Working Season Cards

    Firstly, sorry if this has been asked already but couldn't find anything. Like many others I had my season card taken off me at the Udders game due to it refusing to work. So far I haven't seen anything mentioned on the OS about when we are likely to get them returned and what would happen if...

    Spammy emails

    Bit of a variation on a theme here, not seen one like this before - you just see the word "Nigeria" and have to laugh at it though! Your friend, DID YOU AUTHORIZE MR. JOHN WHEELER FOR YOUR FUND CLAIMS (wazirifarida330930@yahoo.com) has sent you this information from Yahoo! Personals. (Email...

    Slipper of the Yard

    Wonderful article here by one of my favourite journalists/commentators, Mark Steyn: “He was always affable and very much a gentle giant,” said Bruce Reynolds. “He was one of the old school,” agreed one of Mr Reynolds’ colleagues. Gentlemen publishers? Art dealers? Yes, Mr Reynolds has a...

    Why Bother?

    Why are England playing Holland tonight? Does anyone actually know? International friendlies are pointless and pre-season friendlies are tedious, so why are we combining the two to create one giant 90 minute period of mind-altering boredom? Who stands to gain from this unique conjunction of the...

    Even I Can't Back The Gunners

    As anyone who recalls my contributions to 'The Bet Shop Boys' will know, I'm not much of a gambler. Instead of always betting on the likeliest outcome, I have a reckless and self-destructive habit of only making predictions that might make me seem really clever. Sometimes, like the time I backed...

    The 39th Shame

    I've found an interesting anomaly on the official Premier League website. Now, admittedly I'm playing fast and loose with the definition of the word 'interesting', but stick with me on this. When you click 'contact us', instead of bringing up the address of the organisation, it gives you a...

    Shocker

    Tired of constantly being broke and stuck in an unhappy marriage, a young husband decided to solve both problems by taking out a large insurance policy on his wife, with himself as the beneficiary, and then arranging to have her killed. A 'friend of a friend' put him in touch with a nefarious...
