The day has arrived

Well, here we go, the day has finally arrived when my little club plays the biggest club side in the world. Sir Alex has put Rooney and Ronaldo in his squad of 20, but on (Southend's)current form he could probably play himself and the coach driver and they'd still beat us!

Never mind, I'll try to enjoy the game and the experience, whatever the final score. If you're watching the game on Sky (or from some foreign tv station) I hope to have a Zambian flag just above the corner flag to the right of the South Stand goal in honour of RB (Charlie Chikankata) who I so wish was there with me, but will be watching the game live on Zambian TV.

Up the Shrimpers!
