    Question Insurance Renewal Quotes...

    This baffles me a little and wondered if anyone could shed any light on it... I got my home contents renewal from Direct Line telling me that my premium had gone up from £32 to £55 (no claims, nothings changed etc). I then headed towards a couple of comparison websites and saw that £55 was not...

    NY Red Bull

    The last 2 weekends ive headed out to the swamplands of NJ to watch the 1st 2 games in the new Red Bull Arena. Now for some reason the "official" attendance for the game is the number of tickets they sell rather than who actually turns up - so for a half empty (or half full) stadium that holds...

    Peter Clarke

    Seems like our ex defender was mixing it up with the Newcastle players in a friendly tonight. http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/Beye-melee-mars-Toon39s-Terriers.5480574.jp Interesting to see he was named Captain, I didnt realise he'd be getting the armband.
  4. Can things get any worse?

    A lot of fans feel very depressed about what's been going on at our club recently, but can things get any worse? I'm afraid the answer is yes. The one great thing we still have at this club right now is Tilly & Brush. They've proved what they can do on a tight (but reasonable) budget and in...
  5. Terry Scores...

    Football fans are historically fickle and it doesn’t take an awful lot for them to turn on you, but when a judge is calling your character into question, you know that something just might be wrong… Commendable as it might be to step onto the pitch on the same day your personal life begins to...

    Just Another Afternoon At The Match

    Today was a rare opportunity for me. With local non-league football and my lad's training wiped out by waterlogged conditions, resulting in the radio show I would have been doing to cover it all also biting the dust, popping along to the Hall became an unexpectedly pleasant compensation...

    "Something kind of hit me today..."

    Strange that a thought from a bygone life should hit me today ... but here it is anyway. I got stuck on the M25 en route to a midweek home game against Northampton back in the Autumn of our super season 1990-91. We'd played them just recently in whatever the Leyland DAF was back then (Sherpa...
  8. 50 games which defined a decade - Part 2 (2005-2009)

    1st April 2005: Southend United 2 – 0 Bristol Rovers (League Two) The second half of the decade began with our beloved Shrimpers surging up the league on the back of a series of virtuoso performances from new signing Freddy Eastwood. From the second week of January we went on a long unbeaten run...
  9. Ref Watch ... Exeter

    Apologies for tardiness on this one ! Tomorrow's match at Exeter sees 3rd year referee, Roger East from Salisbury, in charge. He achieved some success as an Assistant Referee being appointed to the 2004 Cup Final and a couple of playoff finals. Wasn't uniformly popular especially in his...

    Films that mapped your youth.

    I have got Quadrophenia on the box at the moment which never siezes to entertain me but it got me thinking. When it came out the mod revival was in full swing and as an stroppy short haired, button down Ben Sherman, Staypressed strids and Hush Puppies wearing trend setter, 'Quad' was my bible...

    Honeymoon Rage

    It should be really simple. All I want to do is to find a honeymoon. I'm actually a very easy-going person. I am a very nice person. I don't want much. I want sun. I want luxury. I want all-inclusive. I don't give a **** where I go. Anywhere hot. I don't give a **** when I go. Any time after...

    Shaving

    I was having the age old debate yesterday with a couple of work colleagues ….to wet shave, dry shave of not bother. I am a white collar worker and have regular meetings with clients and vendors so have to be clean shaved pretty much every day and for me there is nothing that compares...
  16. What Becomes of the Broke and Shafted

    Someone great once said that Football isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more than that. Which would explain the pain felt by those when their football club is ripped away from them. As a Southend United supporter, I've had the good grace of never witnessing non-league football and...

    The Ballad of Balloon Boy

    No matter how lethargic and fuzzy-headed you feel this Monday morning, no matter how unenthusiastic you were about the idea of leaving your bed, console yourself with the knowledge that at least one person out there is having it worse than you. Somewhere, presumably on Merseyside, one little boy...
  18. Get a Grip!

    Yesterday's performance was dire. I've not been able to make some of the much better games recently so if anyone should be complaining about how rubbish we must be it would be me. What I couldn't understand from some of the fans yesterday and having just seen some of the posts on here is some...
  19. County's Web of Lies About to Unravell

    Just as the Notts County faithful were beginning to come to terms with their new found regality and success, it turns out Sol Campbell's departure might just be the tip of the iceberg that sinks them. Rumours are rife that the Football League aren't happy with the information disclosed by the...

Im studying Sport and Exercise Science at SEEVIC and looking to carry on doing Sport Science but as a degree at Uni. I've got two options either take a gap year and work full time...
