    Zone Update A nice good news story on here (for a change!)

    Well done the players, http://www.southendunited.co.uk/page/Gallery/0,,10444~2243610,00.html Yes I know they're relatively well paid for doing a job we'd all love to be doing. But, they didn't have to do this, and they're not on Premiership wages. Well done Easton and well done team!

    Food For Thought.

    I've been a bit quiet on here for a while, frankly the whole political arena is depressing. Even so, I've busy doing what I do. I thought I'd share some thoughts.... The Recession The recession was caused, in essence, by the collapse of the banking industry that took a gung-ho approach to...
  4. Players wages collection

    To show Ron we want to help why dont we do a collection this saturday at the ground and on Monday night at the meeting to show we care about the players. Even if we collected £1000 the players would know we ae trying and would certainly show Ron on Monday night that we can help!!!! Dont know if...

    On Strike

    Surprised some of our resident "right wingers" haven't picked up on this.... I am on strike tomorrow and Tuesday. I am on stike to protect my redundancy payment, which for me means HM Government want to steal £25000 of my accrued rights. More importantly, they want to make a shed load of us...

    Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife... A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this to a forum: Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest... The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was...

    Refuse collection.

    I'm sure many homeowners, cats and foxes are aware that household refuse will be collected one day later this week due to the bank holiday. My question is how does refuse collection get back in sync? I have never seen a dustcart operating at a weekend so I can only assume refuse collectors...
  12. King Flintoff Ends Aussie Reign

    Australia's 75 year reign at Lords came tumbling down with a whimper, as King Flintoff gave England victory on the back of his first five wicket haul at the ground. Nothing could suppress the nerves at the Home of Cricket this morning, a terrific stand of 185 between Michael Clarke and Brad...

  15. A few interesting stats

    I have just picked out a few stats looking at our last 10 games and they say a lot I think (all stats exclude FA cup) - * We have won one game * Scored 8 goals (0.8 g/g) * Conceded 19 goals (1.9 g/g) * Collected 6 points (20% of available points) * Continuing that form throughout the rest of...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Stan Collymore

    The next man up for election to the Southend United Hall of Fame is Stanley Victor Collymore. I think Stan might be the first man to divide opinion sufficiently to have a few no votes. After all, longevity is one of the criteria and Stan only graced a Southend shirt thirty-three times and...
  17. Question who is your favourite moron and why?

    In block T in the west stand we've had to put up with one moron for several seasons. However he has become something of a institution and at least he turns up every week rain or shine. He is at least consistant with his constant "you're a disgrace linesman" and his ongoing quest to destroy the...

    Why are we so bad?

    Why is this Country so bad and how can we fix it? Having just returned from holiday, once again, I find it exasperating that we are rubbish at so much stuff. We used 5 airports, Heathrow terminal 5 was ok, JFK, La Guardia and Tampa were all excellent. Arrived back at Gatwick. Plane stops, sit...

    When times were worse

    Ok, things aren't going brilliantly at the moment, but lets remember where we came from. I've been tidying some boxes this week, and stumbled across a copy of the Swansea Evening Post, dated Saturday December 13th 2003 (apologies, but this is obviously written from the perspective of a Swans...
