    Letter To Ashley

    After trawling through Mike Ashley's emotional 1664 word press release, Slipperduke has a few questions for him.... "I paid £134 million out of my own pocket for the club. I then poured another £110 million into the club not to pay off the debt but just to reduce it. The club is still in...

    Money Won't Buy Al-Fahim Success

    It may be billed as 'the clash of the cash', but if anyone at Manchester City thinks that their sky-rocketing bank balance automatically gives them parity on the pitch with Chelsea, then tonight's game is going to be a really nasty wake-up call. When you sweep away the tabloid headlines and the...

    James Lindie

    Just to let you know that James Lindie scored on his debut for CD Javea yesterday against Calpe CF. They won 3-0, which when you consider they hadn't won a friendly up until then, wasn't a bad start for him!

    Scout at Roots Hall

    Sitting 4 seats to my left in the upper south was a fat bloke making notes throughout the first half. We hadn't seen him before so we asked him what he was doing. It turned out he was scouting for Sunderland and was watching Francis.

  6. What is it about Mr Ron Martin!!!

    NOW!!! i will be honest, this summer i have questioned the lack of investment and the lack of action in the transfer market. I do believe even now that we should have signed players at least 2 weeks ago. BUT, we are now bringing in players, that are not only very good players, but, that by what...

    Hehehe

    The Excuse - Joke The wife came home early and found her husband in their bedroom making love to a very attractive young woman and was somewhat upset. 'You are a disrespectful pig!' she cried. 'How dare you do this to me -- a faithful wife, the mother of your children! I'm leaving you. I want...

    More gossip and rumour about Tilson - this thread carries a health warning !

    After the stick I got from some buggers about the 'Tilly signs 4 year MK Deal' thread a week or so back , I am going to say right from the outset that this thread is based purely on heresay and if anyone has high blood pressure , a weak heart or is of a fragile disposition , do not read on ...

    Luiz Felipe Scolari

    Every managerial appointment at every football club in the world carries a certain amount of risk, but the decision to bring in Luiz Felipe Scolari as the new manager of Chelsea is like pouring petrol over a smouldering barbeque. On the face of it, it's a great way to get the fire burning again...

    Fossets Farm What I Don't Want!

    Just got back from Twickers to see the rugby. The atmosphere around the ground (outside) was very relaxed with a real family feeling; which I thought was great, but inside there was no atmosphere at all. Yes it was great that it was possible for beer and other refreshments to be taken to...

    JUSTICE in L1

    Well done to Doncaster, they play great football. And really, really , reall bad luck to poor old Leeds. If only they hadn't got caught doing dodgy stuff, hadn't had a 15 point deduction and hadn't lost Gus Poyet and Dennis Wise they might have made it to the CCC. My heart is bleeding...

    If we could defend dead balls...

    Another day of study leave and another stats thread. It has been well documented that Southend United just cannot defend from dead ball situations. The way I will do this is look at how many points we would have got if the goal from the set piece hadn't have been scored. So in games where we...

    Can Anyone Top This On A Night Out?

    Met up with a mate this weekend who I hadnt seen for a while. Naturally we chatted about the good old days and then managed to remember a stonking event that happened during our misspent youth in Dukes. One night was at the bar and my mate Little John started chatting to this bird and her mate...

    Your worst stalker ever.....

    Watched some programme about some stalker who shot his ex-bird of three weeks in Harvey Nicks last night and it got me thniking about my own worst stalker. When I was 18 I worked for a company called Unijet who were tour operators who have seen been brought out by First Choice. Like most first...

    Chelsea v Everton

    Chelsea hauled themselves to within two points of Manchester United with a 1-0 victory over Everton that I would be tempted to call dour, if it hadn't have preceded the least informative press conference since Rafa Benitez told us nineteen times that he was concentrating on coaching the team...

    Apprentice Week 4

    Well, I did think Helene's team would win, but if they hadn't then there are absolutely no prizes for guessing who would've gone! Really didn't expect Simon to go, thought Claire was odds on the way the board room went. Strange she's going to be PM again next week when there are some that...

    Fredy Eastwood - ad nauseum

    Sorry. I just felt we hadn't had enough Fredy Eastwood threads lately. I needed one more to make me sick of his name, so I thought i'd put myself out of my misery.

    Arsenal v Liverpool

    Arsene Wenger was left baffled by his team's failure to beat Liverpool in an intruiging contest at The Emirates, but refused to agree that their opponent's away goal made them favourites to progress to the last four. Arsenal certainly had the better of the game, particularly in the second half...

  20. Ref Watch ... Easter Monday

    Man in the middle is Rob Shoebridge from Derbyshire, refereeing his second Southend match (this year's home defeat by Tranmere being the other one). Second year ref, getting lots of Championship matches so must be rated. Hasn't sent off anyone this season yet. (wish I hadn't mentioned that!)...
