strange fans

Just listening to the Southend game on Blues Player, and they said Arshavin is at Root's Hall watching Southend. That must be an odd experience for him.
"how Southend would love a player like Arshavin"
"i doubt they could afford an hour of his wages"

Quick goals

Anthony Stokes scores after 12.4 seconds for Hibs, and apparently that's quick.
Feddy Eastwood scored on his debut after 7.7 seconds.

Administration looms for Southend

Sad, sad day indeed.
Looks like Southend will enter administration this time next week ish.
It goes to show the vast gap between rich and poor. When Liverpool played Man U on sunday the two clubs had combined debts of £1 Billion. We could get wound up over £700k. That's about a month's wages for the top players in the world. The problems are many, but it would be nice if:
1) financial mismanagement didn't result in the fans getting punished
2) the official bodies and big clubs spent a bit longer looking out for the interests of football as a whole rather than trying to maximise the wealth of the richest e.g. '39th game', Atlantic League, Old Firm to England etc. etc. etc.
