    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - David Webb

    For 84 years Southend was a team that bounced around the lower divisions. The opening words of the official club history are: "Other teams dreamt of Wembley, some hankered for the first division championship or a place in Europe - but Southend only ever wanted second division status." We'd...

    'Arry Kneecaps - Co

    This is what's appearing in an upcoming edition of the Basildon United programme. See if you can spot through the subtle clues the little known manager it refers to. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Arry...

    This is it now...

    So many questions, so little answers.. A day that was supposed to promise much, with Big Ron's blog - the "real insight" to the club. A day, where we could have been absolutely spanked by Leeds, but didn't. But what has happened today? Now there are many threads about people's moods...

    The BoyWonder Theory

    I've read many threads on here over the past 2-3 weeks about the problems that people think we have at the Club and I have resisted posting in some threads and thought I'd put my views across in this thread. The biggest problem that has faced us this season, which hasn't been a problem in any...

    Ponting on the mike during 20/20

    During last nights 20/20 here (Aus vs SA), Ricky Ponting was miked up and talking to Tubby Taylor and Warnie during the game. I've never seen this before, but it was brilliant listening to his thoughts on the action as it happened, especially when he was batting and explaining where he was...

    All time greatest results?

    When , by around Weds 7th Jan, all the excitement and amazement of the 1-1 at Chelsea has subsided a tad, think on this:...Was this our greatest ever result? The obvious comparison will be against Man Utd at home, but I'll say todays outcome was superior because: Chelsea's home form is so very...

    Legal to pee in Nottingham

    An absolute classic from bbc.co.uk - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/nottinghamshire/7798194.stm City hit by 'legal to pee' prank People should ignore signs telling them that it is legal to urinate in certain public places in Nottingham, the city council said. The signs, which were...

    Garlic Bread !!

    My pal at work was telling me that he ordered a pizza the other night with a few of his chums and sat down to eat it , all the lads tucked into the pizza as you do , and then they opened up the garlic bread box only to discover that there was no garlic bread in the box and it had been replaced...

  10. 1 million in negative equity

    this morning the bank of england has warned that 1 million homes could fall into negative equity and also predict that values could decrease by a further 15%. my view is simple, the more snatch backs which go to auction will result in property prices falling further than 15%,i reckon it will...

    Shambles at St James

    Kevin Keegan has gone, Mike Ashley is going and the Toon Army can no longer be relied upon to fund the senseless destruction of their football team. Newcastle United are in meltdown, slumped near the bottom of the Premier League and now, thanks to this lacklustre defeat at the hands of...

    Bear faced revenge!

    Oh I so hope this is the bear that got tranquilised while high in a tree getting his revenge! Maybe not the guy with the tranq gun but a man so obviously just as guilty! - in the bear's eyes anyway! http://uk.news.yahoo.com/skynews/20080911/twl-grizzly-jumps-aboard-for-mauling-3fd0ae9.html...

    West Sham

    Sometimes in life, when faced with inexplicable stupidity, there is a temptation to assume that perhaps it is you who is being stupid. When Steve McClaren decided to play long-ball to Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney in Russia last year, I briefly toyed with the theory that maybe, with his years of...

    Ron Martin - the statement

    Right, let's clear a few things up straight away - Contrary to popular belief, I haven't been avoiding the subject all day - quite the opposite, I’ve been itching to get on here and finally say my piece. Truth is, I too lost out on a lot of work this morning, and the meeting was over 2 1/2...
  15. Question £80 million ?

    Since the 2000 article in the Independent Newspaper [see Other Owners thread at Fossetts Forum], what has changed ? RM/Owners have not "demanded" rent for RH and have already written off a sizeable sum, yet there remains an equally large sum, still technically due or payable. Suppose 20% p.a...

    Piri,Piri and sardines!

    Me and the Mrs had a week away ( without the sprogs) in sunny "Portugal which as anyone who has pubesant children time on your own is as rare as hens teeth. Anyway we was enjoying out time together, barbecues, alfresco dining and in the words of Austin powers " I found my mojo". I decided to...
  17. Reasons to be cheerful?

    Not sure if anyone else has figured this one out, but if you've got Bailey wanted by QPR Wolves etc - Francis wanted by Palarse - Clarke reportedly wanted by his old club yet again, then there is a pretty legitamite reason to bung them on the transfer list to get more dosh for em by alerting...

    Spooner praises fans

    According to the Echo, Dick Spooner was singing the praises of the fans on Friday, also mentioned the Doncaster police were also full of praise for us as well. Which I hope means next time we play Donny we will not be faced with the whole of the South Yorkshire Constabulary. ;)

    Chelsea

    You would think that, as the single most important match of their history looms up on the horizon, Chelsea might try to put a lid on the gossip and focus on the football, but nothing is ever that simple at Stamford Bridge. Faced with a choice of either (a) clarifying Avram Grant’s future or (b)...

    Bless The Old

    Toward the end of Sunday service, the Minister asked, 'How many of you have forgiven your enemies?' 80% held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one small elderly lady. 'Mrs. Neely?'; 'Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?' I don't...
