    Would Nile ranger have benefited from being managed by Chris Powell

    Chris strikes me as the kind of manager that prides himself on knowing his players and offering that arm round the shoulder type of management. Just wondering if he had come in earlier would this have given Nile a lifeline. I guess we will never know but I'm convinced he would have flourished...
  2. Southgate gets 4 year's hmmm.

    The FA will not learn ! Surely the sensible thing was to give GS 2 year deal with the option of a further period. Imagine if England in Russia are yet another major embarrassment,what then pay him off and start again. Giving big Sam a cool million quid was mad,just think how many children's...
  3. How have the Lib Dems benefited from the coalition?

    Have any of their manifesto declarations become law/policy? Have they gained more support? Are they likely to do better in local or general elections? Serious answers please. To a lay outsider the coalition seems to have done them a lot of harm and little to no good. But they must benefit in...
  4. Ref Watch ....... Hartlepool H

    We have a very decent home record against Hartlepool (only lost 2 in 21 games); good enough perhaps to end our Tuesday night home hoodoo? Referee for tomorrow night's match is Keith Hill from Hertfordshire. He was the FA's Regional Referees Manager for the East of England but spent a couple of...
  5. Ref Watch ........... Pompey Away

    Referee for tomorrow night's match is Keith Hill from Hertfordshire. He was the FA's Regional Referees Manager for the East of England but spent a couple of years in Japan on some refereeing mission. He is now back and in his first full season of the resumption of his Football League career. He...
  6. Shrimpers are Magic

    Alternative view point

    I was listening to 5 live last Sunday just before the Swansea Arsenal game when whilst listening to various summarisers something one of them said made me think. Basically they were talking about the Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers and how he has fitted into the set up and style of play at the...

    Rons new year blog

    BLOG FROM JAN 2008 JUST SHOWS HOW FAR WEV'E FALLEN IN SUCH A SHORT SPACE OF TIME!! The transfer windows favour the Premiership and larger clubs who can target players within this condensed period of opportunity and do not have the same financial constraints as might befall the smaller clubs...

    Terry's Disingenuous Pledge

    If you ever wanted to capture the essence of modern football in just one page, you could do a lot worse than paying a visit to Chelsea's website. Here, behind the splash of adverts for a new kit that looks more like a women's cycling top than a football jersey, you will find John Terry's...

    It's only going to get worse...

    ...well it MIGHT do since we have games coming up thick and fast, our team isn't functioning as a unit, we have no quality on the bench to shake things up and so many of our better quality loanees have returned to their clubs (even if in some cases this might not be for too long). We certainly...

    Bristol Rovers New Stadium

    Bristol Rovers have scrapped plans to play home games at Cheltenham while they build a new £35 million stadium (Subject To Funding). Memorial Stadium Link to Story --------------- It is interesting that their amended proposed new stadium regeneration development programme has not yet been...

    LONDON (Reuters) - "Greek Rural Postmen and Their Cancellation Numbers" benefited from a late surge in public support to win the title on Friday of oddest book title of the past 30 years, The Bookseller magazine said. The book -- a comprehensive record of Greek postal routes by Derek Willan --...
  12. Irate Ian - his crusade to be welcomed in the long-term club interests or not?

    Can't help feeling that there is a personal battle going on on this site. Irate Ian has some (IMHO) valid questions to raise. Some others seem to be fed up with him - either because he's been round this route many times before or they have blind faith in Ron Martin. This seems to have become...
  13. Re Getting Those E-mails In...

    I've sent my e-mail in as per Ron's instructions, and I'm encouraged by the number of other SZ people who have done the same. Is it worth us posting our letters in this part of the forum in case there's anyone out there who may be looking for some inspiration or some idea as to the sort of thing...

    Fitness Levels

    With the game going into extra time last night it was a chance to see how fit our players really are, and I have to say that IMO we looked in good shape. I know that these guys are professional footballers and they should be expected to be able to run around for 90+ minutes, but a number of...

    The fbm views and ratings

    Due to formatting problems the report isn't yet on the front page so here it is BLUES LAND TITLE IN ESSEX ONE-TWO The two Essex sides defied all the odds in League One by claiming both automatic promotion spots – with the Super Shrimpers deservedly landing the title. In fact, it was...

    Good write-up in today's Thunderer: Gray's day for Southend By Alex Griffiths Rotherham United 2 Southend United 4 MICK HARFORD FINALLY unlocked the dressing-room door and strode out to pronounce that not one of his Rotherham United team had played well. Had they stayed any longer the...
  17. Success of Southend

    This is just an article i wrote for the All At sea Fanzine, thought i'd better start writing some stuff to go with my Uni Application and Personal Statement... Success at Southend As little as 24 months ago, the future of Southend United FC was in question, let alone the likelihood of advancing...
