    Carling C2 lager

    2% lager! What are they thinking? In binge Britain export strength lager is king and the last man standing is the daddy. Surely 2% lager is the drinking equivalent of wearing leather trousers with the ar5e cheeks cut out?

    The fbm view - Southend Council

    First of all, work committments prevented me from getting to the meeting today. But while this is welcome and great news, as an analogy it has got to be similar to Freddy scoring in the 23rd minute against Man Utd. Fantastic, we've got the upper hand, but the game is not yet won. There's a...
  3. Norwich v Southend

    Carrow Road on Boxing Day will always be a bit special for me: it was there back in 1995 that I saw my first ever away win. Gary Jones crouching down at the far post to head in the orange ball at a snow covered Carrow Road. It was only my 27th away game. Sadly Blues' away form since we...

    Cheer up you miserable sods!

    This whole board is so depressing at the moment, "Tilly out", "brush and tilson are clueless", "this player's cack, I'd play this team" etc etc etc. So much bitching and whining, it may as well be the school playground!! Cast your minds back three...
  5. Shaun Goater

    It was announced today that a Shaun Goater-owned team will enter the USL Second Division (mostly USA teams) as of next season, a league equivalent to League One (although not in talent!) The release mentions that the team will consist mostly of national team players and will play at the...

    Different levels of football

    With these best player, Under rated player type threads ? Not knocking the threads or posters in any way here but I am having problems in making decisions due to the extreme differences in the standards of football I have seen. I have seen games where we have gone top of what is now the...
  7. Gabrielle Batistuta

    The Argentinian legend now lives here in Perth after what was a great career. Though obviously for fun and not a sign of his ability, he occasionally plays for Fremantle Croatia FC. They are the equivalent of a Saturday pub team, crowds of around 50 max each week. Imagine turning up Sunday...

    Championship

    Right here goes: I have looked at the number of points gained for each position in the Championship (and its second tier of English football forerunners) since the inception of a 24 team division 18 seasons ago. From this I have calculated the mean average points score for each position at the...

    Lost in Translation

    from the guardian What football-related terms are there in other languages that have no direct equivalent in English?" we asked last week. "Don't the Brazilians have a word for dinking the ball over an opponent's head and dashing around to collect it? And does anyone have a better name for the...
  10. A serious question for Col******r United...

    I know that Scrivens equivalent at ColWho?  often reads and contributes to this forum  (  even though our own Dave Scriven chooses no longer to do so !! )     so may I ask with regard to the upcoming game at Layer Road in advance if CUFC have any Official policy on visiting Shrimpers in home...
  11. International equality

    By and large you have to be a Premier$hite player to get a look in the England squad or a non-league player to be selected for their equivalent. Why cant the Champs, Lg 1 and Lg 2 sides start their own Internationals?. A senior squad and U-21's. I am sure it would be well supported and...
  12. Walsall

    I was under the impression that clubs are not allowed to charge away fans more than they charge home fans for the equivalent accomodation. At Walsall today we were charged £18 whereas the far superior lower tier of the home end (newer stand and no posts) was only £14.  How comes? Is the "rule"...
  13. London Bombings Relief Fund - Please Sponsor Me!

    As you will be aware, recently there was serious bombings on the london underground. In order to raise some money for the London Bombing Relief fund, around 100 people, including me, will be travelling to all open tube stations, this currently lies at 264 in total, this means getting the 1st...

    Liverpoool St Webcam

    For those that weren't aware of its existence. This is excellent, covers all mainline trains from Liv St and is bang up to the minute. Liv St Webcam Not sure if C2C have an equivalent.

    Royal family

    That's the equivalent of 61p per taxpayer. I could have bought a cheap can of lager for that and received much better value for money. Get rid of these parasites. Now!
  16. Driving to Cardiff

    Does anyone have any idea how busy the M4 will be on a Bank Holiday Saturday? What time are others going by car leaving? My initial reaction was to leave Upminster at 9:30 (equivalent to 9 from Southend) with the aim of parking up (in Cathedral Road) by 1. Does this sound reasonable, with a 10...
  17. Another positive sign...

    ...is that we now have superior goal differences to Scunthorpe, Swansea and macclesfield which could well be vital come the end of the season. A superior goal difference is in itself the equivalent of having a further point on the board once the final game has been played.

    What a night!

    What a night for Great Britain. First, Kelly Holmes gets the double gold she wanted with a brilliant run in the 1500m. Then, to my surprise I must admit, the 4x100 relay team win gold with superb runs by all 4 men, especially Lewis-Francis at the end. Absoloutely brilliant, makes you feel very...

    Let's sort this out once and for all

    I have not really enjoyed the posts over the last few days on the zone. It seems to be getting more and more like the Rivals site everyday. Now, contrary to popular belief, I am NOT one of those who sees everything through rose tinted spectacles. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and...
