    Recommend one film...

    Just one. Not two. And certainly not three. If someone has already recommended your must-see example of celluloid perfection, then put your name to another one. I'm going to kick-off with the masterpiece that is Shawshank Redemption. Surely one of the greatest films of all time.

    Worth checking out?

    Jon Main, of Tonbridge - his agent, Mikkel Beck, formerly of Middlesborough, is touting him to Championship sides, and he has been on trial with Wolves and Norwich. He is on 30-odd goals for the season with about 7 games left. This, from my local rag... The future of Tonbridge Angels hot-shot...

    Stadium application - planners recommendation

    I know this has been briefly mentioned in other threads but I thought it should be subject of a seperate thread. The Southend Council planning officers report is now on the Council website (via the Council & Democracy section, agenda & minutes, development control commitee 24/1)...

  4. Billy Paynter

    I watched Paynter in the reserves and I have to say that he was crap. Poor touch, can't shoot, he looks a non-league player at best. Why did we pay so much for him? Hull must be laughing their socks off. No doubt someone went to watch him play before an offer was made - or did they? How are...

  5. where do you go swimming?

    Warrior Square - nice diving pool, good nostalgia value, often cold though and changing rooms smell. Clements Hall - slow tw&ts in the lanes, nice steam, sauna and jacuzzi included in the price, long queues to get in sometimes and they answer the bloody phones in the middle of serving you...

    Battrick Advise

    a few questions, but first ill explain my situation first. Im just about to start my 4th season in tier 5, and unless the team that gets relegated to my division is strong, will probably whoop everyone this season and get promoted. I have 600k in the bank, and intend to save this season so i...

  8. Curb Your Enthusiasm

    Anyone seen this? Its the Larry David sit-com and its absolutely amazing. The funniest thing I've seen since Partridge. I think you can pick each season up on Play.com for about 12 quid and its worth every penny. Highly recommended. Unless you're easily offended by the occasional bit...

    Another Yeovil viewpoint this time from The excellent Ciderspace. Highly recommended read, a comprehensive and insightful report. My favourite quote:

  10. Album of the year...

    "Return to the Sea" by Islands - if you like well crafted, inventive, slightly quirky indie then you need this album. It's a slice of modern, skewed-pop genius and is highly recommended to fans of Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade, Broken Social Scene, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah etc. I'm...

    A few questions!

    I'm looking at going to my first Essex game next Sunday in the last One Day game against Worcestershire. It's taken a long while to get round to getting to one! I've a few questions of course: What's the ticketing situation? Do you just buy a ticket and wander around when...

  12. New loan signing?

    Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I noticed on the Reading site that we're apparently taking on Darren Campbell for a trial with the view to signing him on loan. Don't know much about him but apparently he's a young winger. I wonder if this is someone that 'the...

    Suggested tactics

    This Sunday I'm up against a reasonably tough opponent that plays 4-4-2 pressing and last week gained a creditable 0-0 draw with a very strong team despite only 25% possession in the first half and 10% in the second. I'm normally 5-4-1 pressing. I'm curious as to whether 5-4-1 AIM...

Nobody on we really wanted to see badly, but GLC, Ash, Hives, Darkness and Offspring would all be a decent watch. GLC were opening and on at 12...
