Coachy, I want a company car

 

WA WTC, Not watching Witham to the extent where I will bring a pad and pencil ha ha. Just bored at the moment, signed off work a couple of weeks as had an op and no Southend or West Ham midweek matches to watch so 'Bridge is closest.

 

Hookey, keep that Pint in the pump mate for the Bowers v Manor match...wont be there wednesday mate. Who you got?

 

SOUTHEND UNITED!!!!!!!!!

[essex]

it's a very open league this season, anyone can win it, even CLAPTON.

Clapton it's a diferent team this season, won't be bottom of the league in April and many teams will be beaten at our ground this season.

Don't understimate CLAPTON boys.

 

 

[Silencer]

Southend United, of course it is.

 

Feel sorry for Bowers a little as it will be a complete team of Youth players on Wednesday. SUFC are struggling big time.

 

First team only have 12 fit professionals and the 3 reserve players and in that first team squad too. With a game on firday night, they will only send youth players and the lesser youth players at that.

 

Could be a Bowers win

 

 

 

ESSEX....have you been smoking crack. What are you going on about re: Clapton winning the league.

ESSEX....have you been smoking crack. What are you going on about re: Clapton winning the league.

 

Did you hear what happened to Basildon last week at our ground!

 

it was easy..........................

[Silencer]

Was'nt that a meaningless League Cup match??

 

Clapton may have improved, but I cant see them coming in the top ten this season!!!!

[essex]

I beg to differ my dear friend.

Clapton will be top 10 this season.

BTW, some big clubs in the ESL at the bottom of the table, what is going on this season?

There will be big surprises in april mate.

 

 

[Silencer]

It's refreshing mate.....It Keeps the league exciting, at the moment each weekend we know that points will be dropped as a lot of top 8 sides are playing each other.

 

Financially, the pre season favourites of Bowers and Tiptree are under-acheiving at the minute in a big way. Enfield look to have turned the corner but face two tough games with Basildon on weds and sat.

 

Burnham are decent, Bethnal Green has settled really well. Basildon, Sawbo (Starting to fall) and unbeaten Stansted have all probably over-acheived.

 

Takeley, Southend Manor, Eton Manor, Barking, B'side, Witham will all be slightly dissapointed at the minute although with everyone faltering they are all still capable of a top 6 finish.

 

For me, sorry mate but Clapton wont make the top 10 this season...too many decent sides aboutManor play Clapton in April so I will have a Beer with you on that?

 

P.S I wont comment on the Hullbridge revolution until after I see them tomorrow

[Jenko]

What the f**k is going on at Eton Manor?

 

Good squad of players but don't seem to have gelled.

[essex]

Very interesting comments mate.

I think we all agree in that this is a very exciting season.

in your opinion who plays the best football in the league.

I think Basildon is the most physical team and Hullbridge the most tactical, but the league is still a lot of kick and rush.

Barkingside plays some lovely football sometimes.

what do you think mate!

[essex]

Hi Jenko.

agree with you, Eton Manor got a really good squad, should be fighting for the title, very fast going forward but still on first gear.

they've got an easy (on paper) game tomorrow, could be a 6-0.

Have'nt seen too much this season if I am honest. I am suprised at Sawbo's great start as Manor battered them but lost to a 94th minute goal, I expect them to gradually fall away.

 

Barking try to play decent football to be fair. B'side play to there strengths despite not being the most attractive football.

 

Realistically, If you have a decent goalscorer or two in this league (as with most leagues) then you will go far. Without one and you will struggle to break into the top 6. That is why if the the likes of Gillam (Bowers), Lewis (Burnham), Thomas (B'side) and Bocking (Basildon) picked up injuries, then these sides would not be as dangerous/challenging to the league.

 

Some sides are decent, play good stuff and work hard but at the end of the day GPTR

[Venus Fly Trap]

it's a very open league this season, anyone can win it, even CLAPTON.

Clapton it's a diferent team this season, won't be bottom of the league in April and many teams will be beaten at our ground this season.

Don't understimate CLAPTON boys.

 

 

 

 

Clapton 0 - 5 Burnham Ramblers

 

So is the Spotted Dog a fortress then?

Another two good results at home for Clapton. Championship winning home form wouldnt you agree?

[essex]

That was then and now is now.

check the scores going forward from now on.

 

 

[Silencer]

Essex...I would welcome seeing Clapton improve. That season under Woodsy was the only decent one since they came back into the ESL from the Ryman.

 

We having that bet then about the top ten then??

[Triggs]

A new dawn at clapton, i'd like a £ for everytime i've heard that.

 

Full of p1$$ and wind, will only last for a few weeks then back to the same old same old.

 

speaking from past experience (3 times, hence the user name )

 

av you still got the corrigated tin on the shower walls

[Grounhopper Mark.]

I have checked the calendar, no it is not the 1st April. Clapton top 10 and Hullbridge top 6. Will the Hullbridge poster be at the Comedy Store in London tomorrow or at Lower Road? Unfortunately for you boys, bottom 3 come April will consist of Hullbridge, Clapton & Mauritius in no particular order. Even if Coachy's boys beat us tomorrow. After Christmas we should be clear of the bottom three to safely finish 14th at worst.

 

We won't put FIVE past many but Clapton we aleady have. No billy big bolloxs just stating of our 3 wins our biggest was against Clapton.

 

PLEASE NOTE: I am Not including minor cups, Essex Senior League Cup Group, Gordon Brasted Cup or Essex Senior Cup in the ABOVE comments.. just the major three cups - League, F.A.Cup & F.A.Vase.

 

This season's in the major competitions...
