    How should I improve my batting?

    You may or may not have noticed it but I need to improve my batting somewhat…. With the new season only a few weeks away, I need to start planning how I'm going to do it. As it stands I will be using 5 nets at the start of next season, 2 bat, 1 field & 1 stamina on Cunningham and a single...

    Best smell

    What smells in your day to day lives do you love getting a good whiff of? For me it has to be petrol. Was filling up this morning and made sure I had an extra strong sniff of it.

    One to Start the Weekend (week 9)

    As Dave's on holiday I've been made caretaker manager of his "One to Start the Weekend" slot. First thing I thought when browsing YouTube for some classic tunage was "how on earth does he pick just one song each week?", so as the cat's away I'm going to spoil you with "Three to Start the...

    Grand National, Saturday

    Far more important matters will be filling my mind from tomorrow onwards, so I'll post this now. The winner, ladies and gents will be Zabenz. Probably followed home by Royal Auclair and Monkerhostin.
  5. Letter Quiz

    Thought this might help pass the anxious hours and minutes before the match. Below is a list clues in the form of words or phrases. The answers are one or more letters of the alphabet which sound like a word. For instance, to get you started, the answer to clue 16 (Jealousy) is the word ENVY...
  6. new thread for .......

    all those miserys who wish to go through life moaning, groaning, getting on the players backs, filling Roots hall with nasty negativity, running down the manager, wishing they were in the Bernebau, who know all the answers, could get Drogba and Henry in loan if they were in charge and have such...
  7. Ronaldo being Abused.... Would it be Wrong to post it??????

    I have just found a vid clip on my camera from when i went to the Southend v Manchester United game, I took it when I was standing right at the Manchester United coach door as the Manchester United players we boarding it to leave. It is quite dark but you can clearly see Ronaldo walking past me...

    Have you blubbed !

    Sittting at home yesterday, watching a film (Deep Impact) I suddenly started feeling a bit..... how does a 40 year old man say it... emotional. Am I starting some sort of mans change? This as happened a few times recently, and to say Im a bit perplexed is a understatement. Was in the car the...
  9. Season Tickets

    Called the ticket office today to find out if I could expect more problems with my season card at the next home game and to my amazement was told that they'd sold the seat I've sat in for the last 6 years or more to someone else, despite me turning up at the ticket office, queueing for...

    The Next Step

    Right, I have no money but am selling out my ground every home game. Should I increase my stadium by selling my best player to help fund it (could fetch 200k at least), or wait another season filling 12000 without getting anywhere?? What should I do?

    Top 5 Signings of 05-06

    Thanks for all your help and ideas on this feature, guys. You may recognise a few phrases here and there. This, I believe was the first article published in a national broadsheet (Eire) that was co-written by the Southend Messageboard. Scott Parker (Chelsea – Newcastle, £6.5 million, June)...
  13. Controversial one this....

    ...but for me its come as no surprise that these 3 straight defeats have come immediately after the Barnet FA Cup tie. I said to Draft Shrimper and statski that I'd be quite happy this season to go out at the first hurdle as having been a Shrimper for 18+ years I've seen many a promising...

    Goater

    Great read, this article, its an interview with Shaun by the Bermudan Royal Gazette (thanks to Bermuda Blue for the tip off that Shaun is in touch with them).... Fantastic insight into his attitude and I am now convinced he's an inspired signing by Tilly if he can transmit the attitude in this...

    Trains from London to Cardiff

    Folks, This is a word of warning for those of you who have booked train tickets on-line. Being a bit of a sceptic when it comes to train on-line booking systems, I phoned First Great Western (08457 000 125) in order to book my train ticket to Cardiff. W4 Shrimper had already booked his train...

    the fbm view and ratings

    I relied on my trusty Sat Nav system to get me to the ground (despite my C********r adventure) and got there at 2:00 having set off from Leigh at 11:30 (petrol stop en route).  Not bad. Having nabbed the parking space next to the away entrance (and reversed in, making for a quick getaway) we...

    No Problem

    Tilly is clued up for this coming season. He has bought well for the positions that needed filling. There wouldn't appear to be anymore signings besides Spinner, who has played pre-season anyway. What I am getting at is that we should be able to gel very early on. After a good few seasons...
