    One of the perks of what I currently do to earn a crust, is to get myself to off the beaten track football clubs, and let the multitudes of stay-at-homes know what's happening to their local side. Today was FA Cup day and I was entrusted with covering Brentwood Town's tricky task in the...

    Musical input welcome, but not necessarily going to be acted upon!

    So, as some of you know, I will be tying the knot again in October, and we've been set the task of coming up with some music to have playing in the background both for the ceremony and during the meal. We've managed to sort out the music for earlier on, and are part way through stuff for while...
  3. Vodafone

    Found this on another forum, had me in stitches! Dear All I thought I would share my ongoing, and unresolved, problems with Vodafone in case anyone had never used their crummy tax-avoiding service before. In summary, I have spoken to a total of 14 (forteen) different customer services...

    Hi guy`s ! I have been exiled in cornwall for the last 26 years, although i now only get to see one or two matches a season. I still have strong Essex contacts who are blues followers, so i get plenty of info and feedback on whats rumoured to be going on around the club. Do you guy`s think...
  6. Your next starting Eleven and why.

    Given the chance to pick the team i would start in the next game with players that can be picked ; Right now i think give Morris a start so we can prepare now for when Daniels loan finishes i would play Clohessy,Barker,Phillips,Prosser at back 4 Bringing in Prosser for Gilbert purely because of...
  7. Nominations Thread and Draws

    Was searching through SZ ex battles and saw this one was never completed. Thanks to John for the prefix. Normal format, and there will be 8 groups to prevent spamming the forum. Two every few days. For me to keep track with this list. 1) davewebbsbrain - Ian Benjamin goal that put Southend...

    BBC's accurate stats

    Where do BBC get their stats from? According to BBC Morecambe managed 2 shots on target in their 6-0 win over Crawley :stunned: How do they get their stats? Do they rely on the club to supply information back to them or do they employ someone to keep track? Liking Steve Evans' interview too 'If...

    Betting Challenge

    Lets be honest none of us (I dont think) keep much track on how much they are up or down over a period - This got me thinking I am going to do a betting ledger of all my bets over a period and see how much I am winning and how much I am losing. Anybody want to join me and see how we all fair?

    Grete Waitz - RIP

    I've just read that Grete Waitz has passed away from cancer at the young age of 57. She won two London Marathon's and 9 in New York, and was probably responsible for women to compete in the longer distances. IIRC up until 1984 the longest distance women ran on the track was 3000m. RIP
  13. Question Can we afford promotion ?

    We can't afford promotion in my opinion. Where is the money going to come from to pay higher wages in Lge 1 ? This squad of players won't hold their own without some significant additions. It's a viscious circle now that RM has ****ed the club up. So we go up and don't add any decent...

    The "P" word

    Ok, so a little bit early to be discussing. But I just wanted to see what is historically needed points wise, to get out of this horrible league. Since we were last in League 2: The minimum required for 7th spot has been 66 points. The maximum required for 7th spot has been 78 points...

    Does anyone else think...

    Kane Ferdinand might NOT be injured? Or at least not injured enough to stop him playing? The lad has made noises about signing, then starts to backtrack a bit (via his agent)... then he's suddenly injured. When a lad comes up from the youth setup, plays half a dozen games and then wants to...

    FC - Match 6

    Away to 3rd in a reverse of last weeks fixture where only the ME saw me failing to win. This time around I'm on a green track and I suspect their bowlers will exploit it. I have plenty of seamers but not in the same class. Toss could be vital here. I need to bat first to have any chance. PFL...

    Top Gear: Alan Partridge Speaks Out

    Good column here from Steve Coogan. "As a huge fan of Top Gear. I normally regard the presenters' brand of irreverence as a part of the rough and tumble that goes with having a sense of humour. I've been on the show three times and had a go at their celebrity-lap challenge, and I would love to...

    Match 5

    At home 4th v 3rd. We have 3 sunny days so I'm taking the rare opportunity to bat first in the hope that conditions change on my dusty track. Thought about 3 spinners but have gone with 2 and 2 seamers with an all rounder on 5th for a very short spell. Defeat is not a word I want to hear as I...
