    IF Barny goes....

    Which is a strong possibility TBH, we are then left with Spencer, Freedman and Walker to play up front. You've also got Laurent and Scannell, who can play up front, but their best postioned in midfield IMO. So... Who do you choose to play up top? Freedman has the mobility of a zombie, Walker...

    14 days left...

    Of the transfer window, and the big question; Will we see anymore arrivals in tht time? Whether it be loans/freebies/permenants, i'd like to see some new players in. Another striker would be nice, a cretive mid and a CB would be ideal (IMO of course) So what do we reckon....
  3. Bobby Moore & Vic Jobson

    Random find from the Observer about our one time manager and England legend Bobby Moore. Apologies if this has been posted before but it's interesting IMO. History will always consider Moore a managerial failure, and his record at Southend was unimpressive: relegated to the Fourth Division in...
  4. 'Coolest' sportsperson?

    Jimmy Bullard, Chad Ochocinco, Che Wilson? Who is the coolest/funniest sportstar... past or present? Chad Ochocinco takes some beating IMO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3eN0KwXcMU
  5. Ref Watch ..... Norwich

    Our last three home games have produced no less than 24 yellow cards. Who is the man charged with keeping this impressive run going? Well, tomorrow night's match against Norwich will be refereed by the experienced official, Phil Crossley, from Bromley in Kent. This would be his eighth season...

    Bear attack at Berne Zoo

    Just seen this in the paper, why the **** have they shot the poor ****ing bear because some ****wit has climbed into its cage. They should have left the bear to it IMO. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1229998/The-horrifying-moment-bear-mauls-man-climbed-zoo-enclosure.html

    The Times 100 best noughties albums

    Much more sensible list IMO. I'd agree that Radiohead have pretty much dominated the last decade. Feel free to shoot me into oblivion. http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article6922991.ece

    atmosphere last night

    Wednesday at the Winder's

    Regarding Wednesday as far as I'm aware(and I believe this information to be accurate)the three possibilies are:- 1)Ron finds the 700 k(potentially from Sainsburys)IMO most unlikely as it seems we don't own the Prospects Car park 2)Ron puts us into voluntary adminstration before the hearing on...
  10. Ron V Vic

    My memories regarding Vic Jobson are hazy to say the least being only young during his command,My dad installed his thoughts upon me and today he was pretty much spot on. Under Vic we became all seater,south stand was built,500k players,prolonged period playing 2nd level...
  11. Southend v Oxford Programme Wanted

    Hi I'm a collector of Oxford Utd football programmes. I'm not sure if anyone will be able to hel, but I'm looking for a copy of the programme/teamsheet from the Southend v Oxford Utd game from 1st May 1961 it was a testimonial for Dave Robinson. If anyone has a copy they would be willing...

    Question McCormack and Laurent

    Anyone else notice Macca go into meltdown yesterday after Laurent missed the sitter? I thought it was BS really, because Macca was arguably one of the WORST players on the pitch yesterday. Even my mate said "Macca's taking the **** having a pop at anyone, he's been ****". In truth, It was a...

    No police inquiry into El Hadji Diouf's banana claims

    If it is found (and it is looking highly likely) that El Hadji Diouf' made up allegations of being showered with Bananas by the Everton fans then what do you think his punishment should be?? http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/sep/23/el-hadji-diouf-everton-blackburn Racism is bad enough...

    FIFA 10 Demo V Pro Evo 2010 Demo

    Now that the two footballing demo games have come out, what way are we swaying? Last year, I moved to the dark side of FIFA as I got fed up with the online mode in PES. This year IMO, the FIFA demo reigns supreme. Much faster and fluid gameplay, graphically more polished, and the fantastic be a...

    Lord Griff

    2/2/2008 "Barnard hasnt changed IMO and it wont be long before he is plying his trade in the Conference" http://www.shrimperzone.com/vb/showpost.php?p=591620&postcount=1 Lets all laugh at Lord Griff :p
  16. My take on Revell and Betsy and other things

    I know there are lots of other threads on this but here is my take on it. Revell: I am inclined to believe that he did possibly want out and may have had little future at the club. Bear in mind he wasn't in the starting eleven until very recently and these games may well have been last chance...

    Lead article on back page re planned protest

    So Chris Phillips leads with another impressive piece about "Furious Fans Plan Protest", coupled with some very eloquent letters from supporters (recognise a few names from on here :whistling:). Come on, time people gave him some credit - he's listening to us here and making sure the Club know...
  18. Is Tilly safe?

    Reading between the lines, i get the feeling Tilly's position aint to secure at Roots Hall purely down to the fact of the money he has wasted at the club from Rons point of view. Ron has critised in the past about this Ron in the past has given money to spend on new players, but i now think...

    Where's My Money Blues?

    Front page headline - Prior not been paid £40k from the testimonial - money due for the charity, told it would be paid after the Millwall game, but still nothing despite them chasing. Says its disappointing after having never let the club down (Prior). Prior confirms rumours of players not...

    'Oil City Confidential'

    ...is the title of a film coming out in October. It's about Canvey's finest, Dr. Feelgood, and has been made by Julien Temple. Apparently, Wilko, Sparko and The Big Figure have all been very much involved in it and it charts the rise of the band through their 'pub rock' years in London to the...
