    Todays Tip

    Gift Horse Dandy Nicholls has a fine record with his sprinters and this one looks to have a great chance and offers good value at around 11/1. Most of the runners have faced one another in numerous other sprint races this year and over the years, so this selection is due a win. The danger can...

    There are four teams who are affiliated to the Essex FA. 1. Southend United. League One Champions. 2. Col******r United. League One runners up, promoted to the ccc for the first time ever. 3. Leyton Orient. Promoted for the first time in 17 years. 4. West Ham. Losers! Let us all have a...
  5. Sorry... Where we promoted last weekend?

    Now it may be that I'm a little dense, or don't understand business. But... At the Swansea game we were guaranteed promotion, either as Champions or Runners-up. So it would seem reasonable to me to go to our suppliers of all things in the club shop and say that we need items with...

    Tilly, Ure a nutter!

    Having dragged my carcus around londons (26.2 miles) last year,I can only pass on my shear admiration for the boys, because I no they are going to need it! Any one who doubts this should go up on sunday and stand between the 18 & 20 mile markers at canary Warf and watch! It is...
  7. The best albums of 2006 so far

    Of the 20 or so new albums I've checked out so far this year, the clear front runners are... Mogwai Mr Beast Some are saying a return to form but IMO, they've never made a bad album. That said, this album more than the last few efforts sounds like a band on top of their game and...
  8. 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die

    Just heard about this book that was published late last year - some strange choices and (IMHO) some glaring ommisions. That said, I own 293 of these and have heard a further 108 giving me a respectable total of 401. To be honest, dying would be a favourable option to hearing most of the others...

    2 Nightmare scenarios

    I can't do a poll but this is my dread.  From a purely pessimistic point of view, what does everyone feel would be the absolute worst out of these 2: a)  We win 1-0 at Grimsby and discover that Yeovil and Sunny have either both drawn or won and Swansea have won 3-0 at Bury, or b)  Come injury...

    To maybe settle some nerves...

    For those too young to remember... 1971/2 - 4 games to go, we sit in second place, 6 points clear of the 5th placed team (it was 4 up in those days. Hmm... reminds me of an old Joan Collins joke, but never mind). We lose 1 and draw 3 of our final 4 games. Result - promoted as runners up...

    Cambridge

    On Friday 21st April 1972, Southend sat in 2nd place in Division 4 and on the verge of their first promotion in their history. We had gone 14 games unbeaten, and needed to beat Cambridge at home that evening to go top, as we were just 1 point behind leaders Grimsby. Cambridge were mid-table...

    The fbm view and ratings

    As I usually try and write my view for people who weren't there, I'm going to change it a bit tonight as I guess most will have seen it.  Anyway, we have the rare option of picking it to pieces and dissecting it via video or SKY plus or whatever, so I figured I would just relay my view of the...
