fortune

  1. Merry Christmas All!

    Just thought I'd take the opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a drunken New Year. I've taken the ultimate sacrifice in removing myself from Southend games untill mid-January in the hope that this will bring a change of fortune for the boys. What can I say, that's...
  2. I wish we'd stop winning...

    every time we win I buy a bottle of champagne. This team are costing me a fortune! Tilson OUT!
  3. Do we really want to get promoted this season?

    I really do think that with a bit of good fortune in the injurys/bans department that promotion this season is not unachievable. I would however be a little worried that we would get really turned over in the championship. Dont get me wrong i know we did it before but that league has improved...
  4. Any BT phone engineers about?

    I've just had Sky+ installed and moved the old receiver up to one of the bedrooms. The bedroom doesn't have a phone point and neither, it would now seem, does the living room as the point in there appears to be dead ("knackered" cable under wooden floor). The engineer finished...

    Jack Nicholson films

    the vast majority of the below are quality films and/or he is quality in! The Departed (2006) (filming) .... Costello Something's Gotta Give (2003) .... Harry Sanborn Anger Management (2003) .... Dr. Buddy Rydell About Schmidt (2002) .... Warren R. Schmidt The Pledge (2001) ...
  6. Good Luck Guys

    This is hard for me because I'm absolutely gutted. I thought over the two legs there was nothing to seperate us except you got that bit of fortune with the Pen decisions, maybe that bit of luck you were missing in the run in. The ref bottled giving a Pen to Sabin in the last minute and it...
  7. Crowd for Saturday

    Lots of factors could affect the crowd - depression because we didn't go up, FA Cup Final (lucky it doesn't feature the Spammers, eh?), already spent a fortune this season, etc... So what will the crowd be on Saturday? Personally, I'm not going to point fun at Mac or Cobblers until...

    DJ Spoony on Radio 1 Yesterday!

    A few Southend fans sent text's into his show while i was driving up the M4 to Cardiff, it was great to hear He said Southend have got to travel miles where Wrexham could walk to the stadium. Coming back wasn't too bad other than a traffic jam on the M4 just before the M25 Junction...

    Last night

    Unusually, started drinking a lot earlier in the Blue Boar about 5ish so I was pretty merry by the time I got there. Not sure whether it was the beers or not but the game seemed very, very easy considering that Bristol were playing a team in the automatics. I expected them to come out and...

    Holiday Inn Cardiff City Centre

    Just phoned the holiday inn right next to the Millstad and quoted £153 for a twin room bed and breakfast. After sweet talking the young reservations clerk she told me there was a teletext promotion that weekend and could have twin room for a reduced rate of £78....yes £78!...and it includes...
  12. Away following for Northampton

    The official website is carrying a story that says we are now taking over 1,000 fans to Northampton tomorrow. Can I just say that is a magnificient effort from everyone. We all should be proud that we've made a significant contribution to the teams' fortune on the pitch this season and...
  13. To kill or not to kill

    Whether I am capable in my mind to risk The LDV Vans Trophy, our overdue fortune, Or to take arms against a man called Homer, And at the opposing end them? Wrexham : Oldham No more; if at the Pirates hands we end The heart-ache and the 16 thousand missing fans Well basically on Saturday I...

  16. The Artful Shrimper

    C*Nts Corner

    Whilst reading the Evening Standard there is a piece regarding Damien Hirst selling a few pharmacy cabinets for a cool million. Whilst not being a philistine to decide what is art or not, though I remember the strange day when. , Whilst working at the Tate Gallery I noticed a chap sitting on his...
  17. Arthur Rowley

    Arthur Rowley was a legend. A prolific goalscorer for Shrewsbury and a past manager of Southend United. Roots Hall has been bought by a minor league developer backed by a serious(Delancey) fat cat company and is to be ousted from their ground because the land is valuable. Shrewsbury are to be...
  18. My thoughts

    Had the fortune to be at Notts County yesterday and here are a few thoughts for what they are worth. Adam Barrett is a different class who givers 100 per cent to everything and has the making of a true Southend legend and lets hope we can keep him at the club and that tw*t Peter Taylor doesnt...
  19. If you could have any (lower League) striker

    Who would it be? Firstly, so as nobody mistakes this for a negative post, I think we have the talent at the club to score goals when a) the players sort out how best to play to each other's strengths, b) We get the best combo up front (and I don't pretend to know what that is, c) Gower...
  20. One week to go

    Bah Humbug! I really, really, really HATE this time of year. Was subjected to the work Christmas party last night (went for appearances sake, left straight after the meal) and it strengthened my scrooge-like beliefs. Supposedly normal, mature adults sitting around a table wearing paper...
