  1. The (Very Long) Diary of a Happy Fan

    Tuesday 3rd - Just come back from the pub, nice chat with Ron Mack, told him that I couldn't afford any more trips to watch the Blues this season, especially as out of 5 trips I had managed 2 draws and 3 defeats. Friday 6th - Incredible, just told my son that I hoped we wouldn't give away an...

    Atmosphere at Stadium of Light

    I'm posting this from Newcastle. It's going to be a lovely sunny day today. My view of yesterday was that we got totally ripped apart at the back and we wont be getting many points away from home unless we tighten up. We definitely look more solid with Barret at the back. First goal was a...
  3. SZ BT Cup Preview - Part 2.

    GROUP D Sledge_Whites (managed by Sledge_1980) Current Form - Top of VI.120 with a 100% record, lst in the 1st round of the Cup though. One to watch - Oz Van dyk. West Indian spinner who has taken 18 wickets at the incredible average of 5.06, which included career best figures of 7-38...

    The fbm view and ratings

    PANTO SEASON IN FULL SWING AT ROOTS HALL Roll up! Roll up! Come and see the Christmas pantomime. No – not Dick Whittington at the Cliffs, or The Wizard of Oz at the Palace, but one that beats the lot – Cinderella at Roots Hall. Why Cinderella? Because no Southend players went to the ball (at...

    U2....best band in general?

    Just been watching 'Nothing but U2' on channel 4 this morning, absolutely effing brilliant! What struck me though is that imagine you hadn't heard some of their earlier stuff before, if released today IMO they would still all be massive hits. Their songs just don't age...
  6. The Beatles - Love

    Have to say, I was very sceptical about this when I first heard about it - The Beatles back catalogue being re-arranged for a new Cirque de Soleil show being staged in Las Vegas. Then I heard that George Martin and his son Giles were overseeing the project personally using the original master...

    Tractor Boy

    As a young boy, Joe was completely obsessed with tractors. He had pictures of tractors all over his bedroom walls; he had tractor toys, tractor T-shirts, a tractor carpet, and duvet cover - the whole works. He ate, drank and slept tractors. On his 17th birthday he was thrilled to get an...
  8. Manchester United comments about us

    Below are some quotes from Redcafe.net And boss Ferguson said: “I’ve been here for 20 years and it is a great reminder things can still smack you in the face like this. “We are disappointed but there are no suicides, no mass sackings, no need for counselling — but maybe some recrim-inations...

    The view from Tufnell Park...

    My neighbours will never speak to me again. When I awoke on Wednesday morning to find my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth and an empty bottle of white wine in my bed, I was dimly aware that something incredible might have happened. It took another 30 seconds for the memories to filter back...
  10. Fergie Reaction

    Boss: Let's get back to work Sir Alex Ferguson insists United will respond in the right manner after their shock Carling Cup exit at Southend. Not for the first time in his 20 years at Old Trafford, the manager will have to keep his head while all those around him - in the press, at least -...

    Real Madrid Vs Barcelona

    I have just returned for a stag weekend in Madrid which was fantastic. I managed to get tickets for the Madrid Barcelona match, and my god what a stadium that is, really incredible. Towards the end of the first half, our party of 14 got the Freddy Eastwood song going, 2 of us (Me and another)...

    A bit of perspective

    Firstly: f%&k off Jonny, Orient scum, going down, East London is full of ethnic minorities. Right, now we've got that out of the way: I can't believe the negativity on this board. I really can't. I know football fans are fickle creatures, and I know as well as any of you how it feels to embark...
  13. Just got back

    Incredible. Pretty poor performance for the first 83 minutes then one of the most crazy ten minutes I've ever seen. Eastwood scored a cracker, Lewis Hunt scored one of the best goals I've ever seen - a 25 yard scissors kick, and even more remarkable, Billy Paynter scored! I thought...

    Michael Kightly

    I pulled up at Tesco's Pitsea for some fuel and none other than Michael Kightly parked beside me to get some fuel as well. He said hello to me because he must have noticed my SUFC car sticker. I then had a chat with him while we both filled our cars up. I asked him if he had another club...

    Whos a lucky boy then!

    Can't belive my luck over the last few days. All in all I've managed to scoop just under grand from the bloody bookies (Sorry Uxbridge!)My lucky streak: £630 totally from Southend winning promotion on Saturday Then I get home a minute ago, the racing at Chester is on the box. Just as I look...
  16. Colchester and proud!

    Congratulations!

    Well done boys, I must admit we did have a giggle at Layer Road when you were 1-0 and 2-1 down, but you made it in the end Sincere congratulations on your promotion and maybe just maybe, we will be up there with you, if so it will be an unbelievable achievement by Parky given our resources...
  17. Spencer Prior

    At least half the posters on here would have him put down, let alone dropped, but I think he has been the lynchpin behind our rise from a team battling against relegation to the conference, to one on course for promotion to the Champion$hite. I don´t care if he does make the occasional howler...
  18. 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die

    Just heard about this book that was published late last year - some strange choices and (IMHO) some glaring ommisions. That said, I own 293 of these and have heard a further 108 giving me a respectable total of 401. To be honest, dying would be a favourable option to hearing most of the others...
  19. The soundtrack of your life

    So with all this talk of the Arctic Monkeys being the sound of a generation, post the significant songs here that have soundtracked your own life. For me... Depeche Mode - New Life The Jam - Going Underground Madness - Our House The sound of growing up in Basildon in the late 70s/early 80s...

    relatively funny joke

    guy is driving around Tennessee and he sees a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog For Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a Labrador retriever sitting there. "You talk?" he asks...
