    Slow day for me at work and just got this email -Interesting Facts In the 1400's a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have 'the rule of thumb' ------------------------------------------- Many years ago in...

    The Pain

    At 23 I should still be somewhere near the prime of my life. Still have all my hair, wrinkles do not concern me and a beer gut has not quite formed into its glory yet (although 7 months of travelling is helping it along its way). Friends, colleagues and people I just generally know older than me...
  3. Is this the Golden era of Southend United?

    In all the years I've been watching Southend its the best of times. Crowds are higher than they have been for over 30 years, we are playing good football. have a great manager who is Southend through and through and a new Stadium on its way. We are are even starting to have a few Cup runs and...
  4. almost new squad in under 2 years

    With Kevin Maher now out on loan, there are only 5 players left at the club who started a first team game for us before start of last season. And I think 4 of those are out of contract at the end of the season - Lewis Hunt, Mark Gower, Darryl Flahaven and Che Wilson. So potentially only one...

    Favourite Sportsman Ever

    Taking football out of the equation, who is the sportsman you admired most throughout the years? My vote would have to go to Ayrton Senna. I used to love watching the great man race and when he died, F1 was of no real interest to me anymore. Others would maybe be Mike Tyson in his prime...

    Players quiz from the match programme.

    I know footballers as a whole are not the most intelligent bunch but this weeks questions amazed me. I asked my mates nephew who is 12 the same questions and he got the same score as Charlie McDonald which i thought was pretty good considering my mates nephew quite rightly didnt know Zoltan...

    Guardian Guide to the Season out today

    In today’s Guardian’s guide to the 2007/8 season Garry Birtles “Football League analyst for Sky Sports” says (under League One ‘Fearing the Drop’): “…the surprise down there [in the relegation zone] could be Southend, who fought so well in the Championship but have a worryingly thin squad.”...

    Man City - new manager?

    From the Beeb On the bright side for City, when Sven doesn't work out they might be able to entice Orville instead.

    If you were building a Southend Masters team

    Watched a bit of the master over the weekend and generally I enjoy it. Whilst the pace is not great its a pleasure to see players who can make the ball do the work which for my mind seperates good players from great players. So my question if you were assembling a team of 8 for the masters who...

    Your sexy ghost partner

    I've been listening to Danny Baker's All Day Breakfast Show podcast on my way to work every morning (get it on iTunes, it's very good). One of the feature's he's running is - imagine you have died and gone to heaven before your current partner. You are given the choice of hooking up with a...
  13. Well I never knew That.

    In the 1400's a law was set forth that a man was not allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have 'the rule of thumb '. Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden'...and thus the word GOLF entered...

    I hereby request, nay demand, an apology from the Prime Minister's of Denmark, Sweden and Norway for the rape and pillage of our peoples and villages during the Viking incursions and invasions of this country between 800-1100 (approx.) AD. :rolleyes:
  15. How vital is Rochford's nod?

    Great news people...I'm as excited as the next man. However how vital are the decisions regarding the future of the Roots Hall site and Rochford's decision over the training pitches and car park? Personally I cant see there being many probs regarding the Roots Hall plot as its in a prime...

    Most embarrsasing moment

    Mine came on Saturday.I have sat in the front row of the South Upper pretty much since the stand was built. I have never had any hint of what was about to come on Saturday vs the Saints. It was the 2nd half - We were on another dangerous attack. Freddy some how managed to square to to Bradbury...
  17. Take on last night...

    I was really, really confident that Barnsley was a place that we could get a result and turn our season around (it certainly should have been).  How wrong I was.  I feel most sorry for the fans who made the journey.  People like me who skived off of my last lesson at school, got out of work in...

    Robert Mugabe

    In short our beloved Prime Minister took this country to war against Iraq, first with the pretence of WMD and once that had been debunked it was to rid the planet of a menace and a man subsequently found guilty of genocide against his own people. Robert Mugabe has systematically taken his...

    Shambolic.....

    I have never ever posted a negative post on here........ ......until now. Frankly the defending is an absolute embarrasment. Just look at the goals we have conceded this season. Virtually all of how goals against, and watch the video evidence, sees at least one, but usually two or three...
