    No getting away from 76points

    Had a little time this morning, still recovering from the tiredness of my weeks travels, so I did a bit of simple statistical work. IIRC, when we still had a dozen or so matches remaining, I amongst others, fell on the 76 point target if we were to make a late charge for the play-offs. Now...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Oliver Trigg

    Oliver Trigg was the man who kicked it all off. Literally. The time was six pm on 25 August 1906. Southend 'A' versus Southend 'B' at Roots Hall, the first practice match, in aid of the Victoria Hospital. Trigg was given the honour of 'kicking off' in his capacity as chairman of The Southend...

    Dire Chelsea Give Scolari Headache

    They say that fortune favours the brave, but apparently the deal isn't exclusive. On a miserable night in Southern France, the fates took a shine to a substandard, disappointing Chelsea side who should have seen their Champions League hopes laid to waste, but somehow survived to snatch a vital...

    Deja Vu

    The game last night and reports by others indicate that without our loan players, we would be struggling badly. Below are a few bits I posted after the cheltenham game in August: Most of these could easily be applied to last night and unless i am mistaken this was the only other game we saw...

    Question Interactive Novel Writing

    Ok, bit of a weird one this. I have here the first 1,500 words of a story, battered out in an afternoon to no distinct end or conclusion. It's a first draft, it hasn't been polished or checked and, critically, it doesn't have a direction. I was thinking of a British version of Lost/Journey To...

    Extended highlights 'with commentary'

    I don't know whether it's my imagination, or is that the first extended highlights with commentary? Perhaps the adage 'silence is golden' could be applied? Quite honestly, do we need a commentator 'doing his nut' every time Rovers scored and adding something like "I hope it's their only...

    Our striker's goals over a season

    Just to take up a bit of time, and to keep my mathematic brain ticking over I thought I'd see how many goals each of our strikers would score throughout a season if they started every game. I will show findings first judging their goals to starts ratio and then their goals to apps including sub...

    Glasgow Rangers reach the final of the UEFA Cup

    Glasgow Rangers reached the final of the UEFA Cup by defending doggedly against superior opposition and then snatching chances on the break, but last night at The City of Manchester Stadium, those tactics finally blew up in Walter Smith's face. For 72 minutes, Zenit St Petersburg bounced off the...

    The Premier League may be coming to an end, but the divisions beneath it are just gearing up for their most exciting games. The play-offs start tonight and I'm all of a tremble because my beloved Southend are involved, preparing to battle away for a place in the Championship and a chance to...

    Chelsea v Liverpool

    Frank Lampard has never been the most popular of footballers, certainly not with fans of other clubs, but you'd have to have a heart of stone not to stand up and applaud his astonishing composure after a emotional night at Stamford Bridge. Seconds after seeing a goal they were already busy...
