  1. Personal Statement

    I am looking to do a course in Computer Games Programming and need some help with my personal statement. Here it is at the moment : Thanks in advance :)
  2. challenge94 - Almost there!

    January 2009 saw me start my ‘Challenge94’. The challenge was for me to visit every football league ground from the Premiership, Championship, League 1 and League 2 for a competitive match, all in 2009. This has included the 2 teams promoted to League 2 from the conference at the end of last...
  3. Ref Watch ..... Southampton

    Friday’s match against Southampton will be refereed by 44 year old Grant Hegley from Hertfordshire. An experienced official, this will be his 13th competitive match at Roots Hall (won 8, drawn 1, lost 3) He has still not yet refereed a Southend away League game although he officiated in the 2-0...
  4. The Man from Uefa. He say Okay.

    Strikers around the world rejoice! You can indeed feign a collision with a goalkeeper, be awarded a penalty, and even escape punishment when replays show you for the cheat you are. UEFA bowed to Arsenal's appeal and today retracted Eduardo's two-game ban levied at him in the wake of his antics...

    Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Leeds

    Good afternoon one and all So the time is nearly upon us for your “cup final”, the game where form is no guide and you beat us regardless of how much better we are ;). This year I am hoping we will stop being so generous and give you a proper game, maybe we will play a certain Mr...

    Domestic Structure from 2010

    Here is the agreed structure .. my thoughts are in red The Domestic Structure, in accordance with ECB Articles, is subject to consultation with First Class Counties. The First Class Counties voted 13-5 to adopt the following domestic structure : •LV = County Championship has been given...

    Mark Hone

    HONE ASKS FOR PATIENCE 07/08/2009 Spalding United manager Mark Hone has asked fans to be patient this season as he strives to find a side that will be competitive in the UniBond League Division One South. Hone (pictured), who took over the reins at the club during a turbulent summer that...
  8. Calm Down!

    Did southend fans used to suffer these regular collective outbreaks of negative hysteria in pre-internet days? Have we suddenly all developed the memory span of a goldfish or do we just like a good old moan much better than a bit of patience and perspective. In the 2 years I've been on SZ...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Spencer Prior

    Four places (I think) left to fill and next up is Spencer Prior, albeit a day late in Ron Martin style. -------------------------------------------------- Separated by over a decade, Spencer Prior had two very different careers with Southend. Either would be sufficient to get him in the Hall of...
  10. Brush Interview

    (interesting stuff) Firm Foundations Firm Foundations Southend United may have faced a rare drama-free conclusion to the campaign last weekend, but according to assistant manager Paul Brush, this could yet prove a definitive season in the club’s modern era. Victory over relegated Cheltenham...

    Serie A to break away

    Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but it looks like Serie A is about to follow the Premiership blueprint. Could this see Italy's top teams become more competitive once again? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/8027857.stm

    Breaking News Ron's Blog

    I feel that I should be letting you have my thoughts and feelings about the season now it is effectively at an end but I promised that I would answer all the questions that are put to me and I am continuing to do so. However I will need to bring this to an end soon as it was only meant to span...

    Striker Crisis For Capello

    England 4-0 Slovakia Heskey, 7 Rooney, 70, 90+2 Lampard, 82 Forget about the result. A 4-0 victory over a substandard Slovakia might look nice on the scoreboard, but it has no place in the bigger picture. Fabio Capello will be far more concerned by a dramatic injury crisis in his frontline...

    No More 4-4-2!

    Fabio Capello has much to ponder. Though certain sections of the UK press appear to have an unhealthy obsession with an ageing bit-part midfielder and his quest for caps, the real question mark hangs over the structure of the England team. Capello has said that he will be taking this evening's...

    Brawn GP

    Car looks nice and simple. Not too many odd aero bits bolted on. Cant think Ross Brawn would want to be associated with a non competitive set up so hopefully they will do ok.
  16. Challenge94!

    Hi there fellow Shrimpers. At the start of 2009 I started of on a challenge that I predict will last (hopefully no longer!) the whole of the year. I am attempting to watch a competitive football match at each of the 94 football league grounds in the top 4 divisions in the English leagues all in...
  17. Useless Youth Team Statistics

    Did you know... That this season, we've used at least 1 product of the youth system in 55% of our competitive fixtures, at least 2 in 21% and 3 or more in 10% of these fixtures? This is using 6 seperate players (Moussa, Herd, Adameno, O'Keefe, Hazell and Orenuga) This is a distinct rise from...
  18. Breaking News Ron's blog 03/03/09

    I feel there are more issues I would like to share with supporters in relation to football matters, which includes acknowledging the very capable backroom staff who get little credit for maintaining a well oiled operation. That topic will be on another agenda as many fans’ only point of contact...

    Surely selling off Royal Mail right now is sheer stupidity?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7906418.stm Apparently, the Government is thinking about selling off Royal Mail. Now I find this baffling. Throughout this entire financial crisis a lot of the blame has been put at the doors of online companies for robbing the high street of passing...
