    Longest possible journey in the league?

    Opinion at work is Plymouth to Hartlepool yet my SatNav says Brighton-Carlisle. Which is it?

    Grete Waitz - RIP

    I've just read that Grete Waitz has passed away from cancer at the young age of 57. She won two London Marathon's and 9 in New York, and was probably responsible for women to compete in the longer distances. IIRC up until 1984 the longest distance women ran on the track was 3000m. RIP

  3. Raheem Sterling

    Yes, that one that tore our U18s to bit on Monday, could become Liverpool's youngest ever player as he's been included in the squad for their UEFA Cup tie with Sparta Prague.

    The Qatar World Cup

    I was interested to see this in the news again with Sepp Blattering on about it. Apparently his comments were the strongest indication yet that it'll be held in the Summer. This came as a surprise to me, as I thought his comments were the strongest indication yet that it would be switched to...

    Match 5

    At home 4th v 3rd. We have 3 sunny days so I'm taking the rare opportunity to bat first in the hope that conditions change on my dusty track. Thought about 3 spinners but have gone with 2 and 2 seamers with an all rounder on 5th for a very short spell. Defeat is not a word I want to hear as I...

    Now I Know What the Helmets For.

    Since joining my new company things have moved along in the recovery world for me. My gaffer is one of these chaps who wont ask you to do something he wouldn't or couldn't do himself which is in sharp contrast to the last lot. He loaths paperwork and if the true is told, sitting in his office...

  8. Ref Watch ..... Rotherham away

    No lack of experience with Saturday's referee. It is Scott Mathieson from Stockport who I believe is the longest serving Football League referee, this being his 16th season. His early seasons pre-date readily available records but I don't recall him ever appearing at Roots Hall. He has...

  9. Its Only A Game

    Why do people keep saying "it doesn't feel like my club anymore"?

    Why does this saying "it doesn't feel like my club anymore" keep cropping up over and over again in various threads. Its just like "Ron has ripped the heart out of my club" which is also as common. Managers and players come and go frequently but this year we obviously had a much bigger change...

    FC Match 2

    First true test away on a cracked pitch to a team with slightly weaker bowling ratings but stronger batting. Have gone with four bowlers and should post my strongest ever batting ratings but will it be enough. Three all rounders selected but only two of them bowling with an option to change for...

    Pre-Match Thread Southend united v Gillingham JPT trophy 1st round

    Well what a difference a year makes. This time last year we would have been not overly bothered about this tournemant and would have been eyeing up another shot at the play-offs and a route back into the championsip. Gillingham respectively would have been looking to finish comfortably...

    manor15's Football League Round-Up: Week 1 (7/8/10)

    Boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the football season, and in particular the brand-spanking new npower Football League for the 2010-11 season. After a summer of World Cup action in South Africa, the country, well at least a small part of its', eyes switched to Carrow Road on...

  15. Expectations

    The day is finally here! Dunno about you, but this has felt like the longest close season ever. In that time a lot has happened, some good and some very bad. Today we have an almost unrecognisable squad and new management. It will feel very strange when they run out on the pitch and everyone in...

    My league is the 10th strongest in Level IV (world), which makes sense. Also, two of my teams are ranked in the top 50 of level IV (world). Southend ranks as 4th top higher order; 2nd highest spin bowling (both world); as well as 17th in world. Shrimperzone comes in at 46 out of top 50 For...

    Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Stockport County

  20. Thank you Steve, for the best 6 years of my Southend supporting life.

    My football club has changed, and I feel sort of empty today. For decades I supported Southend, and people would say "Who?" or "Southampton...?" or (most painfully) "Why???". And I dreamed of the day when I could casually mention my slightly strange affiliation, and people would nod, and look...
