Southend: is it 1st April?

[Orient_Man_And_Boy]

I’ve just read the plans from SUFC new, gigs-rich owner.

Staying at Root Hall? Adding 75,000 seats (surely a typo?) by buying up adjoining streets? Premiership in 4/5 years?

Please tell me I got so hammered last night that I’ve slept through to April.

C’mon you Os!

Sheikh Oonvakh is a good one following the likes of Sheikh Mahand and Sheikh Rattelenrol

I remember the Indian cricket commentator called Butta Makhar.

Could just be the usual, or they really could be in financial trouble this time.
