    FIFA World Rankings

  2. New Lower League Blog

    Fellow Southend fans, I've decided to start up a new blog about the lower leagues, involving the Championship and below. (Yes I was a little worried as to if the Championship counts as a 'lower league'). It's more for my own amusement rather than anything, but I wondered what you all thought...

  4. From the training ground.

    From the Training Ground. Lots of crossing and shooting practice today. Dickinson looked very sharp. He has one of the hardest shots I've seen in practice, just needs to keep them down tho, as too many went flying into the trees. I'm all for the power thing tho as it gives the goalie less time...

    Kia Abdullah's amusement at toffs' fatal crash

    Occasional Grauniad columnist Kia Abdullah really is a charming girl. She's taking 'class warfare' to a low that I'm sure certain SZ posters would enjoy. Is this the politics of envy? Seems like it to me. Make your own mind up - link Personally, despite my own abhorrence of her comments, I...

    Question Was this a carefully laid man-trap?

    Had a bit of a strange moment over the Christmas period, that I'm hoping you folks can help me with. The wife had decided that she wanted to watch Sex and the City 2 which I'm sure I don't need to tell you was not really my bag (being neither female or gay). Rather than disappear off to another...

    Hamilton v Hearts

    Well it just goes to show how **** the SPL is. I am watching this on espn in amusement. About 3k there. 3 sided ground with one side not open! Terrible football with zero atmosphere. Thank **** for league 2. Southend would probably finish in the top 4 in the SPL

  8. Is this acceptable club behaviour? Didn't think so...

    With our exams and assignments over, me, my housemates and a select few other lads decided a proper session was in order... So we hopped on the train over to Brighton to escape Eastbourne. Top night all round, Beers over the football and on to a few bars whilst ITV made a hash of it before...

    Wilkins Worried By Wobbles

    After a hard night at Roots Hall, Luis Felipe Scolari was in no mood to face the media. Perhaps he was locked in the dressing room with a blackboard, some chalk and a squad still struggling to understand the concept of zonal marking. Whatever the reason, it was Ray Wilkins who squeezed into the...

    Well, what can I say. Some of the worst officials I've seen at the hall, the ref was a disgrace, missing most things, yet giving trivial thing. Hard but fair tackles were penalised, Freddy, fouled but with the ball at his feet in front of goal is stopped to take the ball back for a freekick...
