    Pitch photo please

    It is all very quiet at this time of the year ............ and fears of more financial problems in the air. :'( We could all do with some pepping up - does anyone have the photo of the tractor laying a new pitch from a few years ago? I remember it with fondness and how it became a reliable and...

    Hot Cross Buns...

    As it's Easter weekend, I'm sure plenty of us have been tucking into these bakery delights. On our last day at work this week, the Headteacher brought in buns for us all, with two pots of jam - strawberry and apricot. Now, this got me thinking, I'd never had apricot jam on a hot cross bun...
  6. Help Please

    I have had a team going since Dec 07. I've ignored it for a couple of years and have finally broken through to England League IV. Not doing too badly and looks like i'll stay up. However, My key players are getting old and i'm not sure what to do. Any thoughts what I should do from here...

    Peggy Lokando

    As a 16 year old, Clasford Stirling was quoted as saying, "Peggy Lokando is the most naturally gifted player I've ever seen. Even at the age of 10 he was so confident in his ability, his balance, his turn of pace - it was just poetry. I saw him after he'd been on the bench for the reserves...

    Miliband's 10p tax rate proposals

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-21453444 This is an interesting one. Presumably Ed. was anticipating it might figure in Boy George's March budget. In any case it makes quite a nice Valentine's day gift to the voters of Eastleigh, rather undercuts the Lib/Dem's own mansion tax proposals...

  10. Kane Ferdinand

    Kane gave away a needless penalty in injury time today, gifting Watford a 1-0 win. Shame for him, but it was the missing result from my fixed odds coupon so personally I'm delighted.

    Her Birthday - The Bloke Dilemma

    It's Saturday and all I have got her is a bracelet. I'd like to spend 100-250 to finish the gift off. The problem is I have no chance to get anywhere other than Canary Wharf Shopping Centre as we are away first thing after work tomorrow. My only options are I go and find bits and bobs after...

    My mate made this for me. However it is universal if any other Southend fans would like to use. :loyalsupporter: http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/2096/southendfan.gif
  15. Breaking News CEO Tara Brady Resigns

    Tara Brady has resigned as Chief Executive of Southend United. Just when the Club gets the green light to build the new stadium. Can't be something funny going on could there?
  16. Nesbitt out On Loan

    Young Full-Back Teddy Nesbitt has joined Great Wakering Rovers on a month's loan. Would he be one you would have expected to have departed permanently? Please discuss

    Trying to watch Late Kick Off on iplayer as I only get London on the TV. Whatever region I select I keep getting London and the Creepies. Anyone else having the same probem?

    Moneyball

    I don't know how many of you have seen this film but it kind of reminded me of what Paul Sturrock has done here, created a team which performs better than the sum of it's parts. It is something Mr Sturrock has done before at other clubs too which makes me wonder if he has some kind of formula...
  19. Who would be the Blues Henry equivalent?

    Looking at the emotional scenes at the Emirates, who would be the player most likely to get that level of reception if he returned on loan and scored within 10 minutes, winning the game in the process? Nominations for a player who could theoretically do that (ie is still playing) and for someone...

    Who will prove to be the best Dave Martin.

    Old Dave Martin was one of my first heroes. For those of you that never saw him you missed a big strong defensive minded player who could win headers at will and was as hard as nails. He was never the most gifted but he made up for that with his courage and will to win. New Dave Martin has more...
