    What happened to his unfinished business at The Valley ? He could have done a job, cleaning the bogs.
    Don't be ridiculous, theres no need to go into the realms of fantasy, no one cleans the bogs!

    'Prolific' doing some Olympic standard powerlifting there...

    Would loved to have seen him and Taylor in the same team. Missed each other by a season either way? Would have been a memorable feast of goals as they fed off each other.


    The season Bonne had double figures in the Championship I remember Taylor doing an assist for Bonne but they hardly played in the same team. 
    After COVID Bonne looked unfit for the last 9 matches and Taylor went AWOL.

    One of them needs a new lock too whilst he is at it.

    Prolific striker of parked cars!

    My “second” club Southend and one I regularly go to watch - they’ve just lost their talisman Cardwell. This is definitely not a replacement.

    Can always work on a Whelk stall if it doesn’t go well for him!
    He’d miss the paper bag with the whelks.

    “Prolific” 😂😂 You know things are bad when even the club who’s signed you is taking the piss.

    Still not quite found his level. 
    But he is going in the right direction.

    The saddest thing is despite the Opprobrium directed at Macaulay Bonne, he still manages to score against CAFC when playing for Gillingham and Orient. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    We will get Southend in the FA Cup first round.
  • "Prolific striker"


    They spelled "pathetic" wrong.
  • Following Taylor’s footsteps,  leaving behind dissatisfied fans each time he moves.

    ... How did he score 11 in 33 in the Championship with us that season?!

    Can we put the 'prolific striker' in the title? It would be a reminder of his quality up front!

    I’d say 10. His first against Leeds bounced off his arse by accident.

    Are you sure that wasn't Josh Davison who scored his first goal against Leeds when laying down and we scored after the ball went in off his arse down the Jimmy Seed end in a 1-0 win when we were under the cosh for the whole game.

    Could be the Isthmian next for Macauley
  • Still hasn't found his level then... Can't believe we let him score against us twice last season!
  • Hasn’t scored for Southend and the fans have already turned  on him. He’s 28 now at his peak so could get a lucrative January move to The Dog And Duck second 11.
  • Particularly like this comment from their fans forum:

    Bonne. An ex championship player who commanded a fee of reportedly 2 million.
    A player of his quality at this level should stand out. He has, but only because he has been abysmal. In fact, I'd say his performances are insulting to the club and fans. Rsf 2. Completely abject, disinterested and needs to be dropped for Pebble who looks like he actually wants to play. Even in his joining interview he looked like he'd won the boobie prize by joining.

    I don't know what it is about him but he's just a very annoying person who draws anger. Even when he's scoring he winds his own fans up and I can't remember a player like him where every single set of fans has turned on him before he's even left. Thinking about it, Taylor and Bonne might have been one of the most unlikeable front twos in Football League history
  • Southend are still in the FA Cup, we all know who we're getting if they get through and who will score his first of the season.

    I said it when we first signed him.  I said it when we sold him.  I said it when we re-signed him.  I said it when he left again.

    Bonne is a terrible footballer.  Worse than Simon Church and I don;t say that lightly about ANYONE.
    He's an arrogant prick too.

    Surprised he can still get a national league club , would have thought it would be some big spending Isthmian club for him by now.
