  1. Anyone else worried about boxing day?

    Boxing Day football is just about the best day of the year to go and watch a game, I personally love it and have some great memories from previous years (Norwich away being my favourite!). However I have a bad feeling about the Colchester game, think we could get turned over big time and it...

  2. Football Managers Are For Three Years, Not Just Until Christmas

    It'll be a lean Christmas in the Hughes household this year. Well, not exactly, but Hughes will be without a job as of this evening. Rumours of his dismissal spread like wildfire before and during the game, Roberto Mancini's odds coming in as low as 1/6 and the board made the ominous...

  3. Just how good a motivator is Tilly?

    Can't help thinking rather like Susan Boyle with that amazing voice - so we have an incredible motivator like you'd never believe from listening to him do a media interview! He's not Mr Perfect, but who is? I just can't get over his motivational skills. They should have been beyond doubt in...

  4. Sean Morrison: Sign him up!

    Big, strong, domineering centre back. Exactly what we need!

  5. First Class Footballer, Second Rate Sportsman

    Alone in the 18 yard box, dejected with a painful expression on his face. He's missed the penalty, yet the Santiago Bernabeu is rocking. Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo is back to his usual, petulant self and even the Madrid faithful are growing ever-so-slightly tired of it all. If ever a moment defined...

    Pre-Match Thread Nicky Bailey: To Boo or Not To Boo ??

    What will you do Saturday ?? Option One: Clap one of the better midfielders ever to grace the shirt Option Two: Ignore him, he is history and so we move on and save our energy for supporting the current lads Option Three: Boo maniacally for 90 minutes*.... the way he conducted his last week...

  7. Money Can't Buy You Class

    Money can you buy a lot of things. It can buy you a fast car, a nice house and a beautiful wife. It can buy you the worlds greatest player and, in Manchester City's case, it can buy you an incompetent defence. What money can't buy you, Manuel Pellegrini learnt tonight, is class. El Classico...

    Two "yobs" banned

    http://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/local_news/4748116.Soccer_yobs_are_banned_from_Blues/ I agree with the reader comment below, banning someone for 3 years just for "abusing" opposition fans seems a bit harsh. Obviously I don't know exactly what happened but banter between fans is part of the...

    Zone Update How Ron got the money for the HMRC debt.

    Rumours of the debt being paid with Sainsbury's money are wrong. Found a report which gives information to exactly where the money came from and some on here were actually very close with their theories of how he managed to come up with 2.1 million in a few days. A very interesting read. Clicky

  10. Queens Speech

    THE Queen's speech will today outline plans for a minimum guaranteed penis size for everyone over the age of 21 and universal access to free chocolate custard. The guaranteed minimum is expected to be around seven and a half inches In her last parliamentary outing before the general election...

  11. Aren't we forgetting something here?

    If Ron Martin can organise the debts to be paid off, that will be terrific news but only a start. What is the position on that, by the way? Is there any more news to confirm whether HMRC are going to be paid and if so then how? What are the terms of the finance underpinning the payments? But...

  12. Will the flood gates open now?????

    Everything that I have read regarding the "debt" owed by the club mentions only the HMRC debt, which is in relation to unpaid VAT. It is inconceivable that this is the ONLY debt the club has, but it IS the only one referred to as being in line for settlement on Friday. So, knowing a little bit...

    I said we wouldn't go into Administration

    And we didn't. Granted the debt hasn't actually been paid yet, and we don't know exactly who will pay it, but we aren't in administration like 98% of people on here insisted we would be. As for the consortium, what planet do they live on? How much has RM put into this whole project, and they...

Todays episode they caught a Ghanaian who was here illegaly. He admitted it and has been working here, not paying taxes etc...

    Question What are Southend Council doing about it?

    Simple question. Colchester United have a nice shiny stadium thanks in large to the council over there. How about it Southend? Heard you making all the right noises in the Echo about our plight, but what exactly are you doing except standing by 'till we go under? Haven't we given or going to...
  16. Ron Manager

    In recent years...

    .....we have had bigger average crowds than we've had in decades, had a season of Championship money, had decent cup runs and the TV money that goes with it and sold players for money. Considering we have been told that the club is run as a business only spending money that we actually have (a...

    Lee Sawyer

    Now I know the majority on here, and the majority that went to Brentford and the majority that sit around me in East Reds rate Lee Sawyer highly but last night, in the spell that Sawyer had on the pitch, he should exactly why he should be one of the first names on the team sheet, and one of the...

    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...

    Tories target incapacity benefit recipients.

    Tories to cut incapacity benefit bill. I'm not a politician but exactly what jobs are all these people going to do? I wouldn't be surprised to see the Conservatives cite Stephen Hawking as an example of someone fit enough to work when they start slashing peoples benefits.
