It's the only paper without at least one feature on Southend today!! What's going on?
The Daily Star is particularly impressive as is the editorial in The Independent (one of three articles on Southend in that paper!). It begins with this fine bit of written prose:-
Far too occasionally, the repetitive passage of events is gloriously relieved by a happening that brings those famous words to any number of lips near bars, on sofas, or in queues: yes, indeed: ``You couldn't make it up''.
Often the delight has an ignoble element, best summed up in five words: John Major and Edwina Currie.
But, even more rarely, there is real romance. And thus the Carling Cup: Southend United 1 Manchester United 0.
The award for going ridiculously too far, however, goes to The Daily Telegraph who describe Freddy Eastwood (on page 3 of their news section!) as ``a national hero''.
