Gazza for England Manager
Mental! I know, but hear me out. I’ve listened to a number of theories as to why England are so poor in this tournament and I don’t believe a single one. The fundamental thing is the players look tense and tired. This pressure is caused... [+]
National Disgrace
Wembley, the history, the dreams and the £6 soggy pizza. OK, in case you’re wondering why a Southend fan was at Wembley it wasn’t to watch the Quo or to see the Chuckle Brothers (who were in the Rotherham end by the way). It was... [+]
DePRESSing
I’ve always known that the press in this country are a bunch of scandalous cads. I’ve some personal experience as one of these creatures (from the ‘Screws of the World’) slim-ed his way into our school after hearing a sixth former had got one of... [+]
Out with a shrimper!

Martin's Shaken and Stirred
It seems that my pre-season pecimism was not completely unfounded. The Chairman has since proved to be the swindling swine I’d hoped he wouldn’t be. It turns out you do need to replace your defenders if they leave. And not paying any of your... [+]
Happy New Year!
A new year is upon us (again!) and with it the optimism. We have a World Cup this year and the closest Premiership for years. Correct, I’m quite clearly shifting focus away from the Blues. I fear for the Blues this year. If we can... [+]
