    The Pub

    Not this on-line pub but "the" English pub. RIP? I guess most of you guys visit the hostelry occasionally. For how long is that going to be possible other than via faceless characterless town centre mega-pubs? There was a programme on the radio last night about locals taking over their own...

    Saturday 3pm games down the pub

    Niall Quinn has taken a look at Sunderlands drop in gates and aimed a dig at those fans who opt to watch the games in the pub. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/sunderland/9395083.stm A landlady in Portsmouth was fined by Sky for opting to use a foreign satellite feed which cost...
  3. Ref Watch ..... Accrington away

    Man in charge on Saturday is Carl Boyeson from Hull. He is a reasonably experienced official in his 9th season and will be officiating his 9th Southend match. So far we have won 3, lost 4 and drawn the other so a win would balance that out nicely. His last two Southend matches both finished up...

    Should someone's (previous?) political party membership be held against them?

    Following on from the EDL thread, I think this creates some interesting questions as to what extent someone's past decisions should be continued to be held against someone. Should for example, someone who is/was a member of a political organisation which held particularly distasteful views be...

    Under 18's Match Report Southend United U18s beat Dagenham & Redbridge U18s 1-0

    Is fiscal reponsibility the new political correctness on SZ?

    Once upon a time, most posters on SZ were fairly evenly split, between the pro or anti Ron brigades. The pro camp held sway for quite some time, however their position became pretty much untenable(IMO)with the unfolding of events in 2010 (if not before then). I have, however, recently...

    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...

    Paul Scholes

    Is it me, or is Paul Scholes getting better and better with age? Last night, and the community shield, we got to see the full array of Scholes passing range, weighed in with a few of his tackling exploits. Its such a shame he retired from International football when he did, as he is much, much...
  11. A bit of respect and perspective?

    So we got a great win last night. And Paul Sturrock has assembled a new squad of players in a relatively short period of time. And it's all different and new and there's some promise of what might be achieved. I also have a lot of regard for what Paul Sturrock has achieved as a manager at...
  12. All At Sea season 2010/11

    Good evening After much deliberation, All At Sea will be continuing during the coming season. However, having lost a co-editor I am going to need the help of fellow Southend fans more than ever. I've had a couple of offers of help which are gratefully received, but anyone who fancies writing us...

    Boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the football season, and in particular the brand-spanking new npower Football League for the 2010-11 season. After a summer of World Cup action in South Africa, the country, well at least a small part of its', eyes switched to Carrow Road on...
  14. Sir Martin, you avin a laugh

    What is wrong with some of you!!! Ron Martin has gambled with our club, cost us our best players and continued to lie. If sainsbury did not help than this club would of folded today. Martin i f##king hate u with a a passion
  15. What or Who is more important? Southend United or Ron Martin?

    We continue to discuss the merits of boycotting Roots Hall for the purpose of venting our feelings to the Chairman. But I'm not convinced for the follwing reasons: (1) I think he pretty much knows how the majority of fans feel. (2) I don't think he gives a toss. (3) Would any such a...

    Southend United under the Shadow of War

    “Southend United Under the Shadow of War” is my next book which should be published this coming November. For those that have seen my previous effort the “Forgotten Years of the Kursaal” the format is much the same, match reports intermingled with snippets from the local paper, and is my attempt...
  17. The Idiot's Guide to Shrimperzone and SUFC

    Welcome to the Idiot's Guide to Shrimperzone and SUFC. There is a clear need for this guide, as we have so many "newbies" (see guide) joining, and many of our regular members seem to have become confused as to the purpose of Shrimperzone. This is guide is intended to be expanded, and people are...

    Dear Ronald. Please help! I think we are sharing similar problems on a different scale but I am not coping as well as you seem to be with them. It’s getting me down but you come across as though you don’t have a worry in the world. How do you do it?Let me give you an introduction on my...
  20. Another Mitchell Murdered in the East End

    The spate of murdered Mitchells in the East End of London was added to once more, as Kevin Mitchell was blown away by a rampant Michael Katsidis at an Upton Park which is growing accustomed to home losses. Much was made of Mitchell’s recent form and his credentials as another English...
