  1. Cautious Ron Might Stall Signings

    Given that R.M's opinion of Tilly is undeniably changing, do you think he will be prepared to splash out on new signings for him before the next few results are known? Given Harrold,Foran,Paynter,McDonald,Hooper plus Loan Players like Sam,Gilbert,Odihambo were rarely used (although we paid their...
  2. Happy New Year...

    ...or not as the case may be. Absolutely woeful performance from us today, never looked a real threat, never looked like we were going to create anything and never looked like we were bothered about the game. Collis - 6 - Virtual spectator for the majority of the game. Made one decent save...

    The things you would do

    For a shot at the Miss Shrimperzone 2007 (Gorgeously hot Frenchie, who I refer to as Frenchie, cos i can't spell or pronounce her surname) Basically would would you be prepared to do to have a romantic candlelit dinner for two with Frenchie, or indeed, any other stunningly beautiful famous...

    The Blue Voice - Membership..

    Right guys, how much would you be willing to pay per annum to be part of The Blue Voice supporters group and help contribute towards huge flags, banners, card displays, streamers, ticker tape, confetti and general quality displays on matchdays etc.. This is just a little feeler on how much...

    You know you're a squaddie when ...

    Anyone who is currently serving and has served in the past should be able to identify with many of these certain 'traits'; sadly I do! You know you've been Defence institutionalised (made military) when... You use target indication to point out hot chicks. You use the term 'chicks' You...

    Postmen on strike - Is this right?

    Am I the only one that thinks this is a bit of a joke. As far as I can tell and I am prepared to be proved wrong by the General here - They are striking as they dont like there money and also because Royal Mail want to modernise the business. Well I am sorry but............... 1) If you dont...
  7. Daggers on Tuesday

    I am going to daggers on tuesday, i will support the team in full like every game. The only real chance of getting to wembley. IMO We need to get behind the team as much as possible at the mo, even if the management dont see the simple things going on, on the pitch. Tilly will be going no...

    Taking a view on your season card

    Many on here will go thru thick and thin . But quite a few seaso's have been sold, I suspect, to people who are prepared to pay a bit extra in return for the guarantee of seeing the 'big' games and getting priority for cup tickets etc . If this is true , I would not be surprised to see alot of...
  9. We are only two game into the season!!!!

    Reading some of the posts on here you would think we are already relegated. There is plenty of time to turn things around. I am still confident we can at least finish in the top half this season. The trouble with having all the success we have had over the last few years has made people expect...

    10 reasons why Tilson should stay regardless of what happens this season

    1. Colin Murphy (1992-93) - crap manager, boring defensive long ball tactics never worked. 2. Barry Fry (1993) - as he wasn't Southend he betrayed us at the first opportunity, unsettling all the remaining players for the rest of that season and the following season. 3. Peter Taylor (1993-95) -...

    The fbm view and ratings - Cheltenham

    This season there will be a major change to the fbm view. After I have typed it up it will be sent to the mods to be put up on the front page, which is of course being updated much more than usual. It has been prepared and sent - I am told it will be up on the front page tonight. Perhaps use...

    Who did a Winkle?

    Apparantly at the first SZBC drinks meet a while back, Winkle got a little tipsy, and was fortunate enough to see the contents of his stomach on the way home My question is.. Is anyone prepared to admit that they did the same last night?

    Paul McVeigh

    Ok so my Michael Bridges thread was answered with NO's, stating that he may not be prepared to drop down a division especially to a team in the south- as he has been based in the north throughout his career. Therefore i thought maybe Paul McVeigh would be ideal. He is currently on trial at...

    Another Freddy Thread - Is RM Being very Shrewd

    Sorry for starting another Freddy thread, but I want to congratulate Ron Martin on his current stance of holding out for more than £1.5m+ We all know that Freddy is worth probably closer to £2.5m if it wasn't for his contract situation, so my thoughts are why not hold out for that at the...

    Bank Charges

    Got a letter today from my bank saying although they planned to negative rep me for asking (:guns: ) they were prepared to settle my claim for unfair bank charges at just over half of what I'd asked for. It's a tidy sum and I'm tempted to settle just to avoid the pain in the **** factor of suing...
  16. Simply not good enough...

    It's never nice when you come up short and realise that, despite all efforts, you simply aren't good enough. We have failed to stay in the Championship almost a year to the day since we got there with that 2-2 draw at Swansea. Personally, I think there are many reasons why. It's easy to point...

    Public displays of affection.

    Had a "Networking" night last night at Walthamstow dogs where basically you go out and meet loads of other people in similar lines of work and chat about how you might be able to help each other etc. In truth its just an organised **** up. Woke up this morning feeling rough which i think was...
  18. Spin the wheel...

    I did not realise that Southend had a SuperCasino and yet RM seems able to play with high risk stakes. Two seasons ago he kept the squad to a bare minimum and Lady Luck smiled, the wheel turned and The Blues were promoted. Instead of quitting whilst ahead he let his winnings roll on for the...

    Ron: The day my family home was raided by the police

    Apologies if it's already been posted, but Ron's article on the echo website makes for interesting reading... Link: http://www.echo-news.co.uk/display.var.1263579.0.the_day_my_family_home_was_raided_by_the_police.php
  20. Interview Tips

    Shocking as it may seem... but at the age of 22 I am about to have my first "proper" interview for a summer placement as part of my masters... quite rightly I am bricking it and don't really feel very prepared (although deep down i know roughly what i want to say). So has anyone got any tips...
