Tuesday night, League Cup night, Night off for Fulham
These are strange times, and anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is either lying or hasn’t been paying attention. The evidence is overwhelming: a big faced bearded man is on the front cover of a magazine called Focus with the heading ‘Space Travel For Everyone’ plastered across it. Is this a promise? When? And what will Richard Branson do about it? (for the big face is his)
Indeed. In other news, Southend have just scored against a reasonably strong version of Man Utd and Newcastle are winning. Crazy times.
Back to Southend (and I hope to have a match report from our Eastern Correspondent tomorrow). There are interesting players at Southend. We’ve discussed Freddy Eastwood in another post, but exhibit B is Efe Sodje, the commanding centre-back. Sodje is interesting because he wears a bandana. Few could carry this off, and indeed, if Eastwood were to wear one his heritage would become even more of a target for opposing fans, but on Sodje it just seems right. Look:
He’s a good player, but in his mid-thirties now so not someone for the future.
Hint for anyone reading this now: Southend v Man Utd is live here. Enjoy.
