What a brilliant send off lads (and lasses). You cna't believe the humbling effect it has on you when so many turn up with the concept of joining you not so much in farewell but in celebrating being part of something a bit special.

We all have lots of memories of special events and people along our lives and close friends and family are the most important of those but the recollection of memories I have of you lot is something else, The yellow subbers.

The pub in Rotherham, getting kicked out of the ground in Bradford, Hull away and the doors caving in, the original sub trips, TOTH in Chesterfield, Santas in the Williams, Beef or lamb???? Slash his face with a razor!!!! Feed the Welsh, Me and Midland in Bournemouth's end, City Gent, a 6ft nun in Southend, Sullen panda, the music on the sub, Stevie Stevie Brooker to the tune of Green Onions, Bloody great fishes are Wales, Blackpool away and the Manchester pub, Hartlepool in the play offs, Promotion and the party at the 3 lions after......and more

Anyway, I'm going to try to get tickets for the Queensland Roar asw they are going for the prem title over here and crowds are on the up all over Oz

Roar on the lads for the rest of the season

Cheers

Forza farewell to Andy P who has just Emigrated to australia

My thoughts on the current forza eastend Firstly, its difficult to come up with something original every week. It's even more difficult to come up with something original and catchy. Then's there's bizarre and bespoke! Christ, not many times has that happened but I'll remind you of a few....

Oldham away - 3-1 down and Greyer starts banging the seats and singing la la la la to himself I predict a riot. Caught on a treat! And the whole ground including the rest of the city fans who travelled marvelled at the subbers repeating this for the next 20 mins.

Reading - 4-1 down .....lets pretend we scored a goal. Absolutely nothing like it and the Reading fans couldn't cope with us out singing them for the rest of the game.

Wrexham away - Feed the welsh, let them know its Christmas time turning in to let the bastards feed themselves! The santa masks - on a BH in August for god sake!!!

Slash his face with a razor- I still cringe to this day Mal. Beef or lamb?? You're never going to get a more bizarre chant than that - it came from the roar of "charge" going up when we were on the attack and I asked if it was a cavary charge to which Mal replied Calvary charge??? - hence beef or lamb!

The tune Stevie Brooker on the way back from somewhere north was created because I likened Broker to Booke...and then Booker T and the MG's Green Onions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar-Z_l907DY
All of these are unique but because they are such can't be recycled every game - that defeats the object
And the oject is not to be forced if its spontaneous. It will come

Think of "we love you Johnson, you know you're fat and round" Or "Johnson's gonna take us up hoorah"

I really wanted to get Scooter's Maria I like it loud http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5cDtIBsU_Q going but it won't happen over one match - you'll have to repeat it and repeat it until it catches on - now that could be done with the megaphone

Flags are great but you have to get permission for the things these days - unless you fancy creating the madness at away games outside the ground surfing up and down the streets - sure OB wouldn't like it much tho

I still reckon bounce is the best bet - or at least variations of it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bMD2sYOuqQ after all it is ours!

More of the wurzel will be hard to introduce as the younger element are more exposed to 50 cent than the Wurzel's but again no one in the country can use those songs bar us so they should definitely be promoted. That means being more organised on away travel. bills bus was the prime example in singing the wurple didder lider sonf - absolutely fucking mental - but again ours!
It only needs a few of you to keep it going and others will join in.

Dando - now what the hell has that got to do with football which makes it more bizzarre - maybe a flag with her face would really get the EE rocking - in fact I'm sure that's a sure fire way to get the whole EE belly laughing too - jeez I wish I was there!

Why not make a simple pledge to only use the drum every other game - that'll keep it fresh, and as for the mega phone I'm sure somebody else can do the bing bong as I used to - just make it very deliberate and slow!

If you really want a signature there are only a handful of clubs who have got them. The obvious is Liverpool but its when they sing you'll never walk alone that counts - always at the end of the match. Why not try that with Cider Drinker so it becomes THE anthem whether we win lose or draw.

One last thing CH, Flaxy Elvis, Spot and Es. Don't give up - keep the faith
And the spontaneity will come!
