    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Chris Powell

    Fighting Talk on Radio 5 Live has a segment called Defending the Indefensible where pundits or comedians (note Mark Lawrensen the two are separate) are given an outrageous statement that they have to somehow justify for 30 seconds of airtime. Now I've always fancied my chances of playing devil's...

    What A Waste!

    I’m devastated. Roy Keane’s spectacular career suicide has robbed the Premier League of one of its most intriguing characters and it’s all so pointless. Sunderland have played some good football this year, notably when they finally beat their bitter rivals Newcastle at The Stadium Of Light...

  3. We have previous with Chelsea.

    We have met Chelsea two times in our history in competitive games, both in the F A Cup: In 1913 we lost 5-2 in an away tie. In 1972 we lost 1-0 at the Hall. So who was at the second tie and what were your memories? Unless there is anyone who remembers the first..........

    Terry's Touch Of Class

    If there were any question marks still lingering over John Terry's suitability to captain England, they were blown away in Berlin with a moment of grace and humility that is all too rare in a game poisoned by money and egos. Terry could have explained away Germany's comical equaliser by blaming...

  6. Ref Watch v Orient on Friday .....

    This is the "official" one. Beware pale imitations, especially when they come from bitter eastenders and contain large doses of sour grapes. Friday’s match against Orient will be refereed by Grant Hegley. An experienced official, this will be his 11th competitive match at Roots Hall (won 7...

    Is Football ****ed?

    They say that a week is a long time in politics but, in football, it's a veritable epoch. This time seven days ago, Manchester City were struggling to pay their players, West Ham were enjoying their best start to a season in nine years and, at a surprisingly perky and entertaining Newcastle...

    Why loans are so crucial

    Reading a few messages in the past, it seems that svereal posters don't fully understand the loan system and how it is so crucial for a club like ours. In the dim and distant past, sending a player out on loan practically signalled the end for him at that particular club. The same can be said...

    Sir Alex Ferguson's relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo.

    Likening your guidance, as an employer, to the counsel of a father is a tactic that very few football managers could get away with, but what might sound melodramatic and over-familiar in some cases is perfectly suitable for Sir Alex Ferguson's relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo. "If you are...

    England v South Africa Test Series

    1st Test against the Saffers at Lords on Thursday, which should be an interesting and competitive series which I hope England can shade 2-1. The South Africans definitely have a potent pace attack in Steyn, Ntini & Nel, plus Morkel is getting some good reviews. Dale Steyn may possibly be the...

  14. Soccer 7's

    Does anybody know of a competitive league at all? With just over a month to go before the season kicks off, we're lacking in every position, and with Tilson on holiday until next week, that leaves us with 3 weeks to sign, IMO, 7 or 8 players of a good enough to calibre to maintain a play-off...

    Liptak?

    When we was 4-0 down Tilly made a rather pointless double substitution as we had already lost the game, but never made a 3rd sub. It has been said Liptak is not ready yet but hasnt played for us in a competitive 1st team game so we dont really know. Surely putting him on for the last 10 mins...

  18. Why didn't we turn up?

    The fans certainly did their bit last night. The support was out of this world, especially from 4-0 down. The 2000+ who made the trip all did Southend United proud...unfortunately the players didn't. I know Doncaster are a very good side, but so are we. So what happened to us last night? I...

    Euro 2008, A Blessing in Disguise?

    Does anyone else think that our failure to qualify may well be a blessing in disguise? Firstly it got rid of McClaren, who I think pretty much everyone would agree was an uninspired choice in the first place, and secondly it has given Capello a unique opportunity to experiment for a season...
