    Britain's Next Top Model

    I made the mistake of allowing Mrs Slipperduke to use the TV controller last night and paid for my lapse by being exposed to this horrible, nasty programme. Did anyone see it? It appears to be some kind of talent show, though it's anyone's guess what the 'talent' is. You knew there was a...

    Carlisle, the Irish, and a terrible hangover...

    Just back from the trip to Glasgow and Carlisle about an hour ago - Still absolutely buzzing from the result! First off, I'd like to say it was an absolute pleasure meeting those of you I bumped into and sat beside for the match. You, along with the masses that travelled up, are an absolutely...

    The Grand Slam

    The tension that has been slowly building all week is now approaching critical mass. The clock is ticking down to Grand Slam Sunday and the mind games have begun in earnest. This is what football is all about and I love it. Mind you, I don’t support one of the big four, so I can settle back and...

    Interesting questions

    Question 1: If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally ********, and she had syphilis; would you recommend that she have an abortion? Question 2: It is time to elect a new world leader, and your vote counts. Here are the...
  5. Essex FM

    Don't know if anyone has noticed but Essex FM are reporting that Southend are taking on Huddersfield at Roots Hall today. This means they must be looking at the Echo Fixtures printed pre-season that mistakenly has us listed as playing Huddersfield twice at home. Good to see that our local...
  6. Is this Tilson's best season as a manager?

    A strange topic you may ask considering we won League One and the play offs under his reign but we were helped by having a certain Freddy Eastwood. Having a striker like that could have turned any number of average teams into promotion candidates. This season there has been no Eastwood and he...
  7. Thought for the day....

    All human beings are fallible - even you. Allow members of your team to see your fallibility by calling a meeting where you admit that you have made a mistake. Ask for a volunteer to take the blame.
  8. Darryl a lot better ...BUT

    I thought that Darryl had a much better game last night and looked a bit more confident and even shouted to the defence a few times ,but alas it only takes one mistake and that came after 64 minutes when again he was rooted to his line as the ball was passed across in front of him .
  9. Adam Barrett

    two things about Adam..... 1/ his boots .... thought Mr. Foran was the leading light in the lets wear ****e boots brigade but Mr. Barratt seems to very fond of a retro pair of Pumas - or am I mistaken .... 2/ was rocked back on his heels for the goal against Cheltenham - its been mentioned...

    My Match Ratings

    I don't usually do this after games but i thought i would show how i rated the players' performances last night... Flahavan- 6- In all fairness he had nothing to do, there two shots on target resulted in two goals. Made a couple of good punched clearances and a couple of good catches...
  13. wiggy

    I am so angry with Tilson on three counts of very poor judgement!

    Letting goal machine Hooper out, unforgivable! Replacing Hammel with a bloke that can't defend, Mulgrew, unforgivable! Bringing in a target man that can't jump, not mobile and a poor first touch, Revell, unforgivable! 3 Blatant managerial mistakes that will spoil our season in a crap league...

    Just Back From E10

    One of the most sickening ends to a game I can remember. A decent, upbeat performance by us and as the away team probably deserved all 3 points. A truly shocking refereeing performance - in the last 20 minutes nine out of every ten decisions were wrong. Don't know what else to say at the...
  15. One more recruit required

    A Proof Reader for the matchday programme before it goes to print. Any takers ?? Now I have always appreciated that there will inevitably be the odd spelling mistake but the Leeds Programme on Tuesday hit new heights, but admittedly gave me a good laugh at the same time. Maher versus Moussa...

    Slipperduke's Slippery Column

    Time Running Out for Rafa I’ve never been entirely sure about Alan Curbishley. He never seems to be the kind of man who can turn a game, the motivational dynamo who can lift the players, or the tactical genius who can outwit the greats. I’m not still not sure he’s any of the above, but he’s...

    Tonight..

    One of the best peformances so far this season.. If i dare say, since Man utd at home. Anybody else think tonight was pretty similar in some ways? Right, first of all the ratings - Darryl - I love you darrly, but you made 2 mistakes tonight that could have cost us the game, dropping the ball...

    Keep Maher out campaign..

    Thanks to John for locking the other thread for poor spelling mistakes in the title.. so here is a new one. I cannot see why Maher should be recalled, so this is the Keep maher out, and keep Bailey and Macca in campaign.. a great midfield pairing in the middle! All we need now is a decent winger!

    Team news-Echo

    <Blues will again be without strikers Matt Harrold (broken nose) and Charlie MacDonald (ankle), while Damian Scannell is also unavailable having played in a previous round for Eastleigh. Southend (from): Flahavan, Hunt, Clarke, Barrett, Hammell, Francis, McCormack, Bailey, Gower, Black, Hooper...
  20. Barnard Tonight?

    Is there any reason stopping Lee to play tonight? Or do we just have to put up with a Black and Hooper attack again? As for the defense well selling Riccahrds was a mistake, now we are short on Defenders if either AB or Clarke get injuried or suspended.
