    Pre match thread: Southend vs Hereford

    Well i couldnt wait any longer to get a little closer to the start of the season . This coming saturday couldnt be in any starker contrast to the start of the previous campaign. This time last year to say that a dark cloud was forming would have been a huge understatement. We had lost...

    Eng V SL

    Was really looking forward to this summer's series against Sri Lanka but Sri Lanka have pretty much named a second string bowling attack. Murali has of course retired (as did Vaas a year or two back), but Malinga is being kept back for limited overs cricket, as is Angelo Mathews and there is no...

    FC - Match 2

    ShrimperZone CC v Southend First SZ derby of the season. The last 4 FC meetings have ended in runfest draws however both teams are stronger in the bowling department and the conditions in Essex are bowler friendly so a result is in the offing.

    Starting already.......

    Well I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by some of our fan base, but listening to the coverage of the game on BBC Essex last night, I couldn't quite believe my ears, when a text was read out stating that Sturrock should "......do us all a favour, and go back to Devon, taking his son with...

    Spurs or Man United

    What was the better team; who deserved more plaudits - Tilly or Webb? The line-ups v Spurs in October 1989: Southend United - Sansome, Dixon (Edinburgh 71), Roberts, Martin, Prior, Brush, Cook (Walsh 90), Butler, Crown, McDonough, Bennett Spurs - Thorsvedt, M.Thomas (Howells 55), Van den...
  8. Gary Neville

    Couldn't put it better myself Oliver Kay On Thursday 3rd February 2011, @OliverKayTimes said: A 1,000-word tweet dedicated to Gary Neville, the great overachiever ... There was, it is fair to say, a lively response last night when, in tribute to Gary Neville, I called him "one of world...

    FC - Match 3

    At home to a team that has similarly won and drawn. They look slightly stronger than me. Was planning to rest a couple so if BT doesn't come up soon I could be in real trouble PFL wise. I need to be full strength on a GFI on Friday

    The mongol rally 2012

    Well I had intended on leaving this until nearer the time but things have moved on a little quicker than expected so here goes. Several years ago I was being all funky and surfing the net when I happened across an web site called TheAdventurists. Through my drunken haze I read about a totally...

    2010 Ryder Cup

    The Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor is now just over 3 weeks away, and both teams are now confirmed, with Corey Pavin having handed a wildcard to Tiger Woods. I can't help thinking that Pavin has made a massive **** up in picking Woods. He's certainly not the player he was, he'll probably get plenty...

    FC Match 2

    First true test away on a cracked pitch to a team with slightly weaker bowling ratings but stronger batting. Have gone with four bowlers and should post my strongest ever batting ratings but will it be enough. Three all rounders selected but only two of them bowling with an option to change for...

    OD Promotions and Relegations

    A thread up in England and he seems to be confident on his results (based on accuracy of play-offs). If so I'm in IV.50 have one bot and the teams finishing 5th and 6th don't look up to much, though I guess they could lose their play-offs. I'm stronger than all four of them. The other team that...
  15. JT and Gerrard Rumours and the capello position

    If the rumours are true then really there was not much Capello could have done, the two characters involved are both influential and very much dominate englands dressing room. I know Capello should have had a stronger voice than these two, but the English football star culture means there is no...

    Being patriotic doesn't make you a fascist

    An interesting read, especially considering some of our recent discussion and debates on here. I'm a firm believer in this idea, and thank you Mr Billy Bragg for writing about it in this morning's Telegraph. ----------- A poll published this week suggested that the English were the least...

    It could be worse. We could be Grimsby.

    Now, we thought it was bad here. This taken, complete with gratutious swearing, from a Grimsby forum think almost sums up the feeling in our little corner of Essex..... but not quite ;) Now I'm as optimistic as anyone when it comes to this **** of a football club, but after this...
