    Press Statement must be different to OS statement

    Reading this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southend_utd/8786835.stm and this: http://www.echo-news.co.uk/sport/theblues/8253704.Tilson_placed_on_gardening_leave_by_Blues/ there are some extra quotes such as: "Steve and I have had a very good relationship and one of the...
  2. Vacancy - All At Sea fanzine co-editor / scissors and pritt stick man

    Hoping the mods will allow this. Our co-editor Neddy Beavan has had enough of Ron Martin and has opted to take a well-deserved break from co-editing Southend United's longest-serving fanzine of all time. As a result, All At Sea requires a loyal and enthusiastic individual to help the running...
  3. Brazil vs North Korea

    Anyone going to bother betting on this? With odds on Brazil winning @ 1/10, it looks pretty pointless. Also, I don't believe that you can do an accumy on bets like Brazil to win and Luis Fabiano to score. A few facts to help you : In the 1966 World Cup, North Korea made it past the group...

    Don't Make A Whipping Boy Of Green

    Even as I type these words, I can hear the scraping of a thousand knives being hastily sharpened in the offices of England’s national newspapers. By the time I’ve hit ‘send’ on my email, be assured that this country’s sports editors will have plunged them all into Rob Green’s back. Football can...
  5. Dear Ronald

    Dear Ronald. Please help! I think we are sharing similar problems on a different scale but I am not coping as well as you seem to be with them. It’s getting me down but you come across as though you don’t have a worry in the world. How do you do it?Let me give you an introduction on my...

    Free SZ WC Predictions Comp - £50 prize

    Not sure how much interest there will be however this is a FREE TO ENTER competition and I will put up £50 of my own cash as a prize for the winner (which I will pass over in the Spread on the first day of next season or post by cheque if necessary). If anything I'm just interested to see how...

    Farewell to a Shrimper

    Please indulge me, as earlier today I heard the sad news from Adelaide, Australia that my Uncle Syd passed away this morning aged 80. Syd was the second youngest of 6, my late mum being the eldest, who hailed from Tottenham, but moved to Southend when my Grandad decided to move just after the...

    Erm, question.

    How do you go about getting odds on things that aren't advertised? Like what are the odds for Tilly to become the longest serving manager?

But I was just scrolling through records of English football etc etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_Football_League_managers Stevie Tilson is the 5th longest serving manager in English football! A lot of you probably knew it anyway but worth a look to see...
  14. ESB's Masters Preview

    The Masters at Augusta is one of the most eagerly anticipated sporting events, this year given more impetus by the not-so-surprising return of Tiger Woods. At the risk of overshadowing a landmark event in the golfing calendar, Woods has pledged to put his previous indiscretions behind him and...
  15. Why I Own A Green And Gold Scarf...

    I’m not a Manchester United fan. When Freddy Eastwood dispatched a venomous 25-yard free kick past Tomasz Kuszczack in the Carling Cup, I was as ecstatic as every other Southend supporter crammed into Roots Hall. I do, however, own a green and gold scarf. Supporters are funny groups of people...

    Ian Tilson & The Coca Cola Football League Podcast

    I downloaded the latest edition of the above titled podcast and, in the description line on iTunes it mentioned several names of this week's featured guests. One was a certain 'Ian Tilson'. I wondered... could this be OUR 'Tilson'? Could the media get SUFC matters wrong so often? Especially on...
  17. Ref Watch .... Tranmere

    Man in charge of our vital match on Saturday is Steve Cook from Godalming in Surrey. Although this is his third season, at 24 he remains one of the youngest officials on the list. He has officiated at Roots Hall three times before, most recently the curtain raiser against Huddersfield when he...

    Blair: Gaza's great betrayer

    It's more than a year since Israel launched its immoral attack on Gaza and Palestinians are still living on the verge of a humanitarian disaster. So what has Tony Blair done to further peace in the region? Virtually nothing, argues the historian Avi Shlaim Comments (98) Buzz up! Digg it Avi...

    Question Egg heads booty call.....????

    Reading other threads it has come to my attention that a large number of males were staying in the same hotel as OBL on or around the night of filming. Now we all know what happens on these away days. Few drinks and some cheeky Tapas and before you know it one kiss leads to another. The...
