    Northampton - from an ex-exiled shrimper!

    Evening all, I don't post on any messageboards anymore but browse from time to time and use to post on here a bit. Anyway, I've been away travelling for a year or so, Swansea was first game since being back, and today my second. To maybe give a bit of perspective I thought I'd leave my thoughts...

    CORGI registered plumbers - boring post alert.

    Can anyone recommend a reliable CORGI registered plumber/heating engineer who works in the Benfleet area? I need a new boiler (Probably a Worcester) installed el pronto. No less than four seperate engineers visited my house last November and not one of the b*****ds bothered to get back to me...
  3. Matt Lockwood

    I know this one has done the rounds many times, but he will be a Shrimper next season according to a reliable source on the O's mb. I was hoping he would return to the O's, so I sincerely hope this rumour is crap.
  4. Ref watch .... Galpharm

    After the somewhat eratic performance from Paul Melin who amply demonstrated why he had fallen from favour, Saturday's official is one of the most experienced on the Football League. Mike Pike from Barrow-in-Furness is man in charge at Huddersfield. In his eleventh and probably close to final...
  5. World Cup in Brazil......scary thought!!!!!

    Fifa, football's world governing body has awarded the 2014 tournament to Brazil.....a brave move, considering that Brazil's justice ministry has recorded 150 murders per day in Brazil, and the state of Brazil's aviation industry is less than reliable. Currently it only takes a brief...
  6. An Orient perspective

    Firstly, I thought 2-2 was a fair scoreline. You clearly had the better of the 1st half, we had the better of the 2nd. Turning point was Revells missed header IMO - if that goes in, its game over. Cant really comment on the penalty as I was at the other end in the North Stand, but to be fair...
  7. what Leeds think of us -

    View GalleryA RUN-DOWN on Leeds United's opponents tonight The Gaffer Steve Tilson. Tilson steered the Shrimpers from League Two to the Championship in two seasons, but they have not recovered quickly from their relegation last season. Tilson was forced to part with striker Freddy Eastwood and...

    London Times Obituary of the late Mr. Common Sense

    'Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when...
  9. Players revolt?

    I heard something at the game last night from a usually reliable source that there has been some sort of players uprising! Apparently, it is all to do with Paul Brush who has been somewhat heavy handed over recent weeks. Tilly has calmed things down but I believe that the payers decided to...
  10. wiggy

    Wiggy's rating's!

    Collis 6 excellent first half save, have come to the conclusion that we have 2 excellent shot stoppers at the club but Collis is very poor in most other areas. Don't want to drone on but he will never be better than Flavs low down and is inferior kicking, organisation and aerially believe it or...
  11. wiggy

    Calamity Collis nearly costs us, here's some ratings!

    Collis 3 caught 2 dolly drops, stayed rooted to his line for 5 crosses and parried an easy shot straight to the forward, time to bring in Mr. Reliable! Hunt 6 done ok, distribution not great Hammel 6 good ball in for Barretts goal but once again poor distribution Barrett 7 good defending and...
  12. DTS

    Walsall by train.

    My usually reliable seat booker (Dad of DtS) has not really come up trumps with tickets for Walsall with seats costing £37.50 from London or something similar each. Not that I dont trust the old boy but anyone else found a cheaper way to do it. Cheers DtS
  13. Eastwood Arrested

    Just been informed by a good mate of mine who's dad is old bill that Freddy was arrested Saturday night up in Basildon. As i myself noticed, Freddy was not in the Wolves team for saturday's game against Norwich and apparently was pretty ****ed off so headed back to essex to see friends and...
  14. Ulysses

    Rumour from that crappy rumour site.

    'Sunderland are closing in of signing O'Donovan from Cork then loaning him out to Southend United. I have heard this from a reliable source'

    Sam Parkin!

    Well, keep it under your hat and all that but , my sisters brother (me) noes a a ex West ham supprters mates mum who (apart from the odd home massage) does abit of home clothes alteration. What it is that she has had a request from a very reliable source ( smelly victor down the seafront whos...
  16. Eastwood & Kightly up front?......

    I have heard a disturbing but reliable rumour that Eastwood will be talking to a number of clubs this week, with Wolves being the favourites to sign him in a deal between £1m and £1.5m! I would be dissapointed with this on a number of counts but I suppose we have to be realistic int hat the lad...
  17. The truth about Freddy Eastwood...

    The truth as we stand is that Wolves have offered 1.1 million and Charlton have offered 1.3 million. Charlton have a gentlemans agreement with Southend that if a club should come in with a bigger offer, Charlton will be informed and if the other offer has been accepted Charlton should match...

    Good Post Mortem of our season

    Borrowed this from the yahoo list (with the original authors permission). This guy used to contribute to the SUFC fanzines in the 90's. ps: Didn't realise the Railway was showing the West Ham game on Saturday!!!! ------------ This was probably my sixth/seventh relegation so, as well as...

    Sky Broadband

    After going on the initial waiting list I've now been told Sky Broadband have switched on my local exchange, therefore I am contemplating switching onto the See, Speak, Surf package (£5 a month to add broadband/phone to my satellite bill) from Tiscali. Basically I'm unhappy with Tiscali as at...
