Mr Happy is back !
at 21:24 25 Apr 2021

Yes one of the Giants of the game is back as himself next season

Des the Gooner is no more

The franchise has ended

And this will be the remit

If within 3 seasons I am
Not crowned as Happy League champion once more the club will fold for good.

No messing about

A massive push for promotion next year and then two seasons to get the ultimate crown

Or bust !

My word is my bond !

ðŸ™Œ

Mr Happy - the president

How common are muggings in Colchester ?
at 22:17 7 Dec 2020

What with the BLM narrative - of which I personally feel has been high jacked by the looney left and other back door sneaks - in fact a lot of my black mates don’t give it the time of day as they realise what’s happening ...I ask the title thread question.

Because my ex wife was attacked in Grinstead by two knife welding Eastern European’s a few days ago - suffered a cut to the hand actually.

Made off with her shopping.

To me the influx of these types have really put us under a dark cloud and they are everywhere in London.

I don’t mind admitting I would have hunted them down if I wasn’t of the Christian persuasion ..

What has it got to do with BLM ? Not sure - maybe I’m connecting the old idea that only blacks get bad press for criminal activity and the subsequent booing might have racial over tones - and for some it might - but for others they don’t want to be dictated to for not complying with the knee.

Colchester United v Derby County revisited
at 21:43 19 Nov 2020

Only played each other 5 time’s

Both won 2 games so deadlocked

I went to both games in 2006 at Layer Road

3-1 and 4-3 respectively and I stormed the Derby Coach after the FA cup game to berate the players

What great atmospheres especially the first game.

14 years ago - blimey

The clock is ticking

All I know is people will never ever again experience the great football atmospheres

That’s the way it goes

Nothing lasts forever. ðŸ™Œ

THE PRESIDENTS BARSIDE PETE MEMORIAL CUP - Happy League - addition - do apply.
at 00:23 31 Jul 2020

As we have battled through Covid I am
Introducing a new competition more akin to the old Happy cup as a one off knock out for next season. This will not go towards any historic points in the Happy League - but will be logged for posterity. It is a simple gesture of thanks to all participators over the years. This is a ONE off memorial cup/competition ..

This is in memory of our departed Yankee brother Peter who I had met on several occasions and found him to be a most generous man.

The prize is £50 and will buy 2 tickets for a Colchester United match in 2021 a choice of 3 matches or £25 cash.

I will not be entering myself (unless rule 743 needs to be activated) but my partner Gooner will enter as himself. (Who also knew Pete).

Do indicate your interest and entry - thank you

* rule 743 shortage of player ..

Cheers

Mr Happy - your president.

RIP Peter mate. You were unique. You were like Marmite. I like Marmite.

at 17:08 19 Jul 2020

As the voting suggests the old stadia had something that can never be replicated unfortunately

Ask anyone

West Ham
Millwall
Arsenal

And my own lot at Derby

The baseball ground was simply exciting

Nothing lasts forever

That’s life all over .

Savour the memories chaps

PS somehow the poll went missing

77% in favour of layer Road

From a player who was deemed an also ran for years - the last 3 seasons have been a revelation and now on the verge of a first - holding onto the title and that’s never been done before.

Amazing recent record

Could suddenly propel into top 4 of all
