    Fergie Must Quit

    I have a dream. I have a dream of Rome, May 27. I see Rio Ferdinand lifting the Champions League trophy, I see Wayne Rooney throwing his shirt into the crowd, but most of all, I see Sir Alex Ferguson leaning into a camera crew and, above the roar of the crowd, giving them the scoop of their...

    Ron's Blog 6/5/09

    Haven't seen this anywhere else yet...... Chairman's Blog What a good day Saturday was and with nothing to play for I thought that the team performed well and remained committed to the cause right to the end. It was also a day to celebrate the success of the Club’s youth policy which, I...

  3. Lionel Messi - Vastly Overrated.

    I don't know about anybody else, but the biggest disappointment of this years Champions League has been Lionel Messi's complete anonymity in both games against Chelsea. I've watched Barcelona about 15 times this season, and Argentina a handful of times. I watched Messi cause havoc on Saturday...

    View at Colchester / Southend Ticket Office

    I mentioned in an earlier thread about the poor view I had at Colchester on Saturday due to the Police Control Room being situation right next to the upper rows in the away stand. The view I had meant that the corner flag, and around 20 yards of the left touchline (as I was looking at it) were...

    Why teams seem to raise themselves for big matches

    Ive read a few comments on here questioning why for example we couldnt show the same passion for matches against Colchester yesterday, and the Chelsea away game, but not for matches like Crewe on tuesday. And this has left some fans feeling cheated I thought about this too, but then realised...

    FAO Mr Peter Clarke

    I know some people on here have good connections at the Club, and that some Club officials read this forum so I was hoping this will get passed onto Peter Clarke if at all possible. Clarke, First of all, I was the bloke in the white adidas jumper in East Reds that had a pop at you, and others...

  7. Breaking News Rons Blog

    Dear Mugs, erm, fans, the past week has been a fraught time with a myriad of problems on and off the pitch. The transfer window closed and despite the incredible and superhuman efforts of myself and to a lesser degree ST, we were unable to clinch the signing of our...

  8. Ref Watch ...... Bristol Rovers

    This Saturday's rather important game brings Gavin Ward from Oxted to Roots Hall for his fourth visit. This is his second season as a League referee. His three previous games were the JPT defeat on pens by Dagenham, the 2-1 win against Hartlepool (who had Sam Collins sent off in that match)...

    Wilkins Worried By Wobbles

    After a hard night at Roots Hall, Luis Felipe Scolari was in no mood to face the media. Perhaps he was locked in the dressing room with a blackboard, some chalk and a squad still struggling to understand the concept of zonal marking. Whatever the reason, it was Ray Wilkins who squeezed into the...

    Question Target men?

    I love a target man and if I ran a team, I'd always have a big 6ft'er in the attack. Made me wonder why target men dont do well for Southend under Tilly (and no, this isnt another 'Tilly Out' thread!). Paynter, Harrold, Revel, Furlong... I know by their very nature, target men dont get...

  11. Likely to be playing in front of our biggest crowd in over 50 years

    Chelsea usually get over 40,000 even for lesser teams as they reduce their prices for Cup games so the crowd will be over 40,000. We haven't played in front of a crowd that big for over 50 years. My guess would be the last time was the Everton game well over 50 years ago. If anyone knows...

    Does Bilic Hold The Key for Capello?

    "Wake up! Wake up. You did not lose a game tonight because you had one up front... We are simply a better team." - Slaven Bilic, 21st November 2007 Almost one year on from the debacle at Wembley, from the wally and his brolly and the humiliation of a very public failure, have England woken up...

  13. FC - Week 5

    Lower Standards CC v BATTY SHRIMPERS We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking like a road. As flat as a pancake. No help for the bowlers on this partially cloudy day. No Evelyn, Lea, or Schoeman, but we do have Middleton and O'connor...

    Gerrard or Terry

    So, both in a Capello squad for the first time. Unless there is an injury then Fabio is going to have to chose his skipper. For me, Id have Gerrard as skipper, mainly cos I cant stand Terry! Think when we have someone of Gerrards ability we should be building the team around him (and to a...

    Who's Next?

    You know how these things work. Someone has to follow Beadle through the void, it's the rules. Two big names and a third, lesser, cult figure have to expire in seven days. You cannae change the laws of physics. Personally, I'm going for an ex-politician. It's always a diverse mix when they...

    UK chooses 'most ludicrous laws' - from BBC News

    A little-known law which prohibits people dying while in the Houses of Parliament has been voted the UK's most ludicrous piece of legislation. Another law which states it is treason to use a postage stamp upside down was placed in second place by those polled by UKTV Gold. The most absurd...

    FC - Week 5

    We take on Every_one_a_Wrongun who play in Kev's OD league. Four 50k+ players but one of them is fatigued and some of the lesser players have fitness issues as well. With my squad pretty much fully fit it will be a full strength line up, they sit third so a good win will put some daylight...

    Odhiambo - Rate or Slate

    I'm basing my opinions on the two games I've seen him play at home, but didn't get to see him play away last week. Am I the only person who thinks he is not upto the job in this division? I know from yesterday's ratings that the opinion was he's too lightweight, but that I think was the least...

    Basic office rules.

    I am on the verge of doing Sandie that I work with in. Not only does she never answer the phone, follow any of the office basic rules or do any of her own research or paperwork she has not developed a really annoying habit. After weeks of never being passed messages which I HATE with a passion...
