desperation

  1. Ricey

    Can I call myself desperate?

    Was having a chat with a mate and we were talking about Facebook and meeting people, we then got onto the conversation of Match.com. I have never used anything like it before and my mate was saying its brilliant. Am I going into a point of desperation using an online dating service to find my...

    Inappropriate giggles and laughter...

    Why does this happen!? On a train this morning coming into Richmond, a young fella walks down the aisle, laptop bag on his left shoulder, clutching both a coffee (in a cardboard cup) and a reading book in his right hand. He catches another bloke, in front of me to the left, with his laptop...

  3. Strikers

    I just want to see what you guys think..............Im fed up of tilson paying for this rubbish 150 000 strikers. The list is endless I hope this summer he buys someone worthwhile not just out of desperation. My list I Have come up with is as follows: Harrold Paynter Foran Revell Add as you feel...

    Manchester United v Barcelona part 3

    The stage is now set for what we can confidently call, without any fear of exaggeration, the most important English club football match in history. Manchester United's hard-fought progression to the European Cup Final means that, whatever happens tonight, it will be an all-Premier League affair...

    Dead, but not really - 24 Spoiler

    After watching the trailer for the new season of 24 I couldn't help but be a little shocked and slightly annoyed that they have brought back Tony Almeda from the dead. I like the character but he got a lethal injection to the neck! Stinks of desperation from the writers. Now, I know it's not...

    Under Armour

    Right, most people have now left the office but I've got to hang around until my Mrs is ready to meet me to go to the pub! So, desperation post time. I noticed from the footage of Wednesday night, most of the team now appear to be wearing Under Armour cold-weather stuff under their...

  9. Getting tickets for Spurs game

    First post. As I've 'emigrated' to London and am not one of the season-ticket holding elite I was unable to get an away ticket for the Spurs game. 'Not to worry' I thought, 'I'll just go into the home end and not wear my Southend top. Right, let's go to the Spurs...

    Let's get this into perspective...

    I'm as disappointed as the next person at what happened on Saturday, and the reactions of the inbreds can hardly come as a surprise. I think that what we need to bear in mind is exactly what is driving their desperation to milk every last drop out of their moment of glory: Col******r have never...

  11. How to solve the defensive prob

    Today we saw the first signs of how to beat this defensive problem we're in.... play 11 defenders, today we had 4 in defence 1 in midfield and 1 up front.. next week spinner will be up front, wilson midfield aswell, and we'll get a few defenders in on loan. Todays subtitutions seem to be...

  12. Coventry Game

    I was impressed with a much improved display this week.  The lads fought and battled hard, and had more desire than they showed in the Cardiff game.  If they pull up their socks and continue to play like that, results will come. Didn't think much of Coventry and don't expect them to be...

  13. Why sign another striker?

    I dont understand why another striker has come in? That makes it 7 strikers now. Surely if we were looking to improve the squad, a central midfielder should be top of the list? I know Tilson says he doesnt panic buy but I do feel in a way that bringing in Paynter for £200,000 and now Harrold...

    Top 50 film endings

    Thoughts? 50. The Blair Witch Project (1999) - The movie isn't particularly scary... at least until the last two minutes, which take the tension level from 10 to 100 at an exponential pace. The final seconds -- wherein a member of the cast is spotted, back turned and facing a corner, as an...

    Third Test, England v. Sri Lanka

    Sri Lanka have won the toss and elected to bat. Big news is that Sajjid Mahmood has been dropped and replaced by Gloucestershire's Jon Lewis. Surprising call, there. Lewis has been in good form, though - and you get plenty of movement throught the air and off the seam up in Nottingham...

    The pressure is on Northampton

    Very little about Southend in the media or on Sky, who all seem to be focusing on Northampton, Calderwood and can they beat us for the 1st time in 5 attempts. Calderwood has been on the box saying that Tilson has already given him the team. Sounds like some mind games going on. I think this...

  20. Tarnished Tilly

    Firstly, well done to the lads. Tes really is a hero! I am however disappointed in Tilly. I accept some managers actually choose to have no keeper on the bench, but they dont only have one in the squad. Here we are now having to take whatever keeper we can get. Sheer desperation. With the...
