    "Something kind of hit me today..."

    Strange that a thought from a bygone life should hit me today ... but here it is anyway. I got stuck on the M25 en route to a midweek home game against Northampton back in the Autumn of our super season 1990-91. We'd played them just recently in whatever the Leyland DAF was back then (Sherpa...

    Ticket watch: Col U, 26th Dec

    Ok I couldn't see this posted elsewhere but it looks like Boxing day could be a super sell out (and rightly so). Just picked up 2 tickets in the West, I wanted to be in the East but was told it is now sold out except for 'The Paddock' (Overflow) in East Blacks. Other parts of the ground are...

    Henry - A Great Big Woman

    Cheat. Liar. Criminal. Who would have thought that these would have been the words we would eventually associate with the much-loved, oft-celebrated Thierry Henry? Well, me, actually. For all the magnificence that he has shown on the pitch over the years, he has been like this for a few years...

    Your starter for ten.

    Did anyone watch this last night? Mildly entertaining but it really annoyed me that the parts set in Southend were actually shot elsewhere (Jaywick - Clacton). Also, if you are going to shoot scenes set in Southend but filmed elsewhere it is probably a good idea not to feature any piers.

    Memory Lane Episode No 1 Season 1931-32

    As I have posted previously I have an article printed in every official programme this season telling the story of Season 1931-32 in 23 episides. It has been pointed out to me that not everybody attendes every match and not everyone buys a programme, so I thought I would post them here again if...

  9. David Sullivan At Southend?.

    Just been reading that it looked like Mr Sullivan will be leaving Birmingham when the Kong Kong consortium takes over and quote "I intend to remain in football, so following the takeover I will be looking for a new challenge where my experience, my success and sound business acumen will make a...

    Blimey. We're quite good.

    WAS BILIC RIGHT? HAVE ENGLAND LOST THEIR 'ENGLISHNESS'? Well, if he meant that we no longer play artless, stone-age football, devoid of movement and guile, then he hit the nail on the head. If his idea of 'Englishness', is to canter through games as if the result has already been secured by the...

    Writing a CV

  12. My New Job

    So, after a few weeks of searching, I finally started my new job today... And some of the people I work with are a real piece of work. First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty hot, but damn is she completely useless. The girl is constantly fixing her hair or...

  13. Andy Murray

    Seeing as Murray just won another Masters title and moved up to world no.2 thought i would post some parts of an article i was reading about him. Rumours that Murray was "anti-English" stemmed from an interview he and Tim Henman did for the Daily Mail. In response to teasing from Henman, Murray...

  14. ESPN Classics: England Vs Turkey, April 2003

    What a game this was, and has just been replayed on ESPN Classics... Channel 442 for the Sky Users. I remember it vividly... Turkey kicked seven shades out of England in their home leg and we really needed a win in order to qualify for Euro 2004. A tense game that England dominated large parts...

    TEN months on from his devastating first round knock out at the hands of Breidis Prescott, the so called "Boy who would be King" Amir Khan claimed his crown. In front of a packed MEN Arena, Khan produced the maturest display of his career in disposing of the canny German-based Ukrainian Andreas...

    Time to Boycott Lloyds

    They are keeping open their overseas operations. So Southend shuts, India stays open. Vote with your feet people, Natwest closed their overseas call centres a while ago and now have people in the UK answering their phones. I just cancelled my house insurance with the Lloyds group. That'll get...

    Black panthers living in the wild

    I recall that some 20 years ago there used to be reports of black panther like cats being sighted in the woods out the back of Rochford. Whether it was real or just someone wanting to wind the OB up, I never knew. A couple of years ago, when the missus and I were on hols near the Pyrenées...

    7/7 Conspiracy Theory

    Did anyone watch the programme on BBC2 last night? I thought it was going to subscribe to the idea that 7/7 was a conspiracy, but it kept blowing the arguments out of the water. That said, I am watching the 7/7 Ripple effect on youtube. It's in seven parts, and its so blatently a load of...
