  1. Rob Noxious

    The Original Rude Boy

    "It's a bit like what Charlie Watts said about the Stones ... five years playing, twenty years waiting around." Sir Buttz Yoddles spoke wearily as he was in discomfort from a horrific abscess for which he had just started taking analgesic medication. His weariness was not helped by the...

    England Squad

    Glad to see Osman has finally been given a chance, at 31 !! Massivley underated. Wilshere doesn't derserve his place IMO, nor does Glen Johnson. The defence looks weak IMO but apart from that a very attack minded squad, that's presumably gonna be asked to defend for 90 minutes. Still better...

    Comparing the budget and players

    I was just having a thought about the size of our squad compared to last season and it got me thinking. I'd say we're probably about 8 players off of the size of the squad we had last season, maybe even more (can't be bothered to count). In the RM and SK Q&A, RM actually said we are paying more...

    "Trust us.We can do better"

    Cameron's speech. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-19890459 Can does not mean the same as will though,does it? Frankly,I wouldn't have thought either "Sink or swim" or "Trust us.We can do better"(OK, I made the latter one up but it was the gist of the speech,IMO)are likely to play that...

    Spicer

    What are peoples opinions on Spicer? Early days I know but jurys still out IMO. I do rate him, just feel that he would suit a 3 man midfield rather than 2. In pre season, I really liked the look of him. Thought he liked to get the ball moving, ran with the ball, looked for the wide man, made...

    Best Home Atmospheres ?

    Prompted by the Brum thread we could do one of these every few days, so we don't dilute the current one. I can do 70s onwards. Plenty on here can do mid 50s to 70s when five figure attendee were the norm for a Div 3 South team tha had perhaps only once or twice realistically skirted with...

    John Terry retires from internationalfootball

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/sep/23/john-terry-retires-international-football Good news(IMO)but the FA have clearly got it in for him.

    Sturrock in denial?

    Just read a quote from PS on last nights game: "Fans are singing and dancing because we won but the goal that won us the game was probably what they would call hoofball". Now, don't get me wrong, I can't stand it when i see a player just lump it upfield but like when we went on that 17 match...
  9. Cricko

    I am confused here

    So what exactly is PS's plan here. We have at least 3 players on board who like the ball to their feet during play, Eastwood, Benyon and Harris, Last season we tried the hoof route to the likes of Dicko etc and to some part it worked.Why sign players who prefer it on the deck if you want to play...

    How long would you give Sturrock?

    If u were in charge, how long would Stuttock get this season? Can't really say I'm too excited by some of the dross that has been played during his reign, but i was always "content", while we occupied a good league position. Quite simply we've got a better squad, on paper, than most of the other...
  11. Captain Barker-Discuss

    Is it time for Chris Barker to do the "club Captains" bit, and say... "I'm not good enough at this moment in time, and I am going to step aside" ? Do you think he is in the side because he is the 'Club Captain'? I like Barkers leadership, and his style of play "was" what held things together...
  12. Attacking or Defensive minded midfielder needed?

    Its clear that we need to bring in a midfielder or two perhaps. Lots of talk about whats happened to Brogan and Spicer but do we need an attacking midfielder to feed the strikers or a defensive midfielder to provide cover at the back? From being at Tuesday nights game I'm sure everyone will...

    Tony Warner

    Veteran goalie Tony Warner is apparently playing for us tonight v Millwall. Would be a great signing IMO, lets hope he does ok.
  14. Dick Bate's Protege

    Red Ken, Red Faced...

    http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/andrewgilligan/100171491/ken-livingstone-an-apology/ Nice to see that odious cretin Livingston brought down a peg or two. Just about sums the man up IMO.

    Update regarding West Ham game Saturday, Other friendlys and news

    Just been speaking to Jobbo with one of our weekly chats (all done for the benefit of giving us fans what we want) I can confirm so far around 3k Southend tickets have been sold with around 2k West Ham - going on that Jobbo expects between 6 - 7k at the game, quite decent turn out IMO We wont...

    England v South Africa

    The Saffers are here for a ludicrously short 3 test series, was it really not beyond the wit of he ECB to make this a 5 test series and also not schedule a test slap dab in the middle of the Olympics. But prior to that playing a pretty meaningless 5 ODI's against the convicts. I'm happy we've...
  17. German court bans circumcision

    Ignoring the 'Jews oppressed in Germany' angle, this is a pretty major story IMO and it hasn't really been picked up over here. http://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/06/27/us-germany-circumcision-idUKBRE85Q19Y20120627 "It ruled involuntary religious circumcision should be made illegal because it...

    Sepp Blatter

    Hope people dont mind me starting a new thread considering im a 'Newbie'! Blatter today called for an alternative to be found rather than Penalty Shoot-Outs... Personally I think he's deluded, we've tried golden goal and if i remember rightly that was abandoned in 2002. As agonising as...

    NewBuy Scheme?

    Anyone looked deeply into this yet? I am looking to purchase my first house and my ears pricked up on hearing of this new scheme. But, the stuff I have read so far doesn't exactly make me want to get involved. Plus, there are zero homes in this area available under the scheme. Another complete...
