    "Strike" force

    Maybe I'm wrong but I reckon we have the weakest strikers in the division overall. I really cannot see any of them getting more than half a dozen this season. Someone convince me I'm wrong...please!
  2. My lasting Tribute to the Blues

    About 5 years ago i had a baby son and managed to convince my X that Sammy would be a great name.......she agreed (unwittingly) and cottoned on why i suggested it a few months later. Now 5 years on i have just got married again and in the car travelling to work we were discussing names for...

    Man U sign 9-year-old!

    Can't see this mentioned elsewhere, but Manchester United have signed a 9-year-old boy from Brisbane, Australia. His grandfather sent them a DVD of the lad playing and that was enough to convince the club to bring him over. He's being hailed as the next Wayne Rooney. Oh, and he has a British...

    Ghost Whisperer

    I, er I mean a "friend of mine" religously watches Ghost Whisperer and has seen all 40 odd episodes. Its about a girl who can converse with ghosts and helps them finish their unfinished business so they can cross over. Its nothing like 6th Sense at all because er he was a young boy and she...

  8. The Press Conference

    I know this has probably been covered already but I've just watched the press conference on the OS. Great show of unity from Ron and our management duo. Ron said he'd build the stadium whether we're in the championship or league 2 which is great to hear. I know a few of you fear we...

    Away from home

    At the moment I am trying not to look at the table in a vain effort to convince myself that its too early to get a true impression of the table. However in fit of madness I looked and it really hit home to me where our problems lie. 3 goals in total from 8 away games is shocking really. Not...

    Why we need to be EXTREMELY WORRIED…

    … YET STRANGELY OPTIMISTIC!! Sometimes when a team is promoted, the momentum from previous seasons can be enough to carry you still forward – see Wigan last season in the Premiership and just look at what we achieved last year ourselves. But then sometimes the step up in class is just too...

    Worcs are about 5 points behind us so a massive game. Worcs got off to a flyer with Lou Vincent going at a run a ball, but Bichel has just trapped Steffan Moore lbw. Worcs 75-1
  14. Southend v Stoke

    Southend (20) v Stoke (21) Southend are without summer signing Michael Ricketts (Achilles) and centre-half Efe Sodje (broken leg).

    Top 50 film endings

    Thoughts? 50. The Blair Witch Project (1999) - The movie isn't particularly scary... at least until the last two minutes, which take the tension level from 10 to 100 at an exponential pace. The final seconds -- wherein a member of the cast is spotted, back turned and facing a corner, as an...

    What do you think we can achieve?

    Last night, during discussing the possible Trundle transfer, I may have got a bit carried away, but I said that I think we can go up!! Or, let me expand, I think Tilson thinks we can go up - secretly... I started to explain myself in terms of the Trundle transfer and how much that could...

    Will this warm weather put Hammell off?

    With the visit today of Hammell and his girlfriend a thought just came to mind. Will he think its like this all the time in Southend? Will he be able to cope with more the 15C and 2 hours of continuous sunlight? And more importantly will his girlfriend say no way after seeing our local totty...
