Daggers Posted 16 April 2009 Posted 16 April 2009 Riding a bike for 3 hours on Saturday morning means I have slightly raised interest in the likely weather in Southend this weekend. Anyone else interested, here it is:

Not sure if to give it a miss or to try and get in the home end....
lookwhaticando Posted 16 April 2009 Posted 16 April 2009 From that angle, looks like it was built in the image of a cock. Quite fitting when you see what someone did to the topic title.
Daggers Posted 16 April 2009 Posted 16 April 2009 Pub recommendations:Town centre - there are the typical collection of chain pubs, The Last Post being the better of the options. Next to O'Neills there used to be a wonderful little bar in a back street and outdoor benches. Nuts! I didn't mean O'Neils - I meant O'Donoghues in the market place, which always poured a bloody good pint of Guinness. The cooky place next to it is The Sunrooms - the only place to go if you are hankering for Belgian booze: Hoegaarden, Fruli, Leffe and Frambozen on draught.

Koke Posted 16 April 2009 Posted 16 April 2009 What's with the thread title? Are we all gonna have a wank in the stands when we are officially crowned Champions?
Asha Posted 16 April 2009 Posted 16 April 2009 What's with the thread title? Are we all gonna have a wank in the stands when we are officially crowned Champions? Why not.
General Smuts Posted 16 April 2009 Posted 16 April 2009 Why not. You, me and some Dutch Rudder action.
Koke Posted 16 April 2009 Posted 16 April 2009 If Steve Howard scores a hattrick, I will wank live on webcam to you all when we get back home. I'll do a live one-on-one for lildave3
Daggers Posted 16 April 2009 Posted 16 April 2009 I really wish i was going now!!! You could still just pop along to The Foresters anyway, I'm sure you'll be able to listen to the game at the same time.
Asha Posted 16 April 2009 Posted 16 April 2009 Might offend the ladies. ...they'd enjoy themselves. You, me and some Dutch Rudder action. Intriguing.
demon_dog Posted 16 April 2009 Posted 16 April 2009 Ticket sorted, bike sorted, gadget bag sorted, room sorted, hair sorted.Get your white stilettos out girls! They're ready to party when you are.
Fosse Boy Posted 16 April 2009 Posted 16 April 2009 It's raining over my house. You, me and some Dutch Rudder action. Can't beat a bit o' the old ruddering.

Tubes Posted 17 April 2009 Posted 17 April 2009 As I posted in the other Southend thread... Heard on Radio Leicester they're going to be on the beach with the fans, which will mean publicity which will possibly mean police which will mean no drinking because its illegal not in a licensed place. Booooooo. I hope im wrong though.

Daggers Posted 17 April 2009 Posted 17 April 2009 SOUTHEND United manager Steve Tilson knows his in-form team are facing the toughest test possible at League One level tomorrow.The Shrimpers host table-topping Leicester City at Roots Hall. And, not only does Tilson rate them as the best team in the league, but he also feels that in Steve Howard and Matty Fryatt they have the division’s most dangerous strike-force. “For me those two are the best partnership in our league and Leicester are the best team too,” said the Blues boss. “Fryatt and Howard work well together and both score goals. Somehow we have to try and keep them quiet but one look at the league table tells you everything you need to know about how hard the game will be for us this weekend. “They are going to get promoted, there’s no doubt about that but we don’t want that to happen at Roots Hall and we want another good result.” Tilson’s team also go into the game - which will be watched by a bumper crowd of around 10,000 fans - full of confidence after winning four of their last five matches. The Seasiders chief is keen for the run to continue and he remains proud of the way his players have performed during the second half of the season. “When we lost at Leeds in January we looked like we were going to be dragged into danger towards the bottom,” recalled Tilson. “So from going from that to being eighth in the table is remarkable.” But Tilson does not feel the turnaround in fortunes necessarily means the Shrimpers will be enjoying success next season. “You just don’t know what players are going to be here next year,” said the 42-year-old. “We obviously want the likes of Theo Robinson and Dorian Dervite who are with us on loan at the moment to still be here but it’s been too early to talk to their clubs. “We will just have to see who stays and then go from there again but that’s still a long way off.” Tilson has no new injury concerns for tomorrow’s game and welcomes back Anthony Grant. He missed the 3-2 win at Northampton Town on Monday with a slight knee problem. And Tilson must now choose between Grant and Jean-Francois Christophe in the centre of the park. “It’s been a while since we had a selection headache but it’s a nice problem to have,” added the Blues boss. Southend (from): Mildenhall, Francis, Clarke, Dervite, Barrett, Scannell, McCormack, Christophe, Moussa, Barnard, Robinson, Freedman, Grant, Betsy, Joyce, Sankofa and Laurent. Southen Echo
Daggers Posted 17 April 2009 Posted 17 April 2009 A NEW study has revealed Southend has serious problems with binge drinking, unlike Castle Point where residents are among the most sober and well behaved in the country.The number of alcohol related hospital admissions and deaths was far higher than the national average in Southend, according to the recently published study, Local Alcohol Profiles for England. sourceAnd this weekend will hardly see it reduced...
