    A bit of perspective

    You've got to say the natives are getting restless are as Southend fans are concerned over the past few weeks and I'm sure a lot of this is due to the relative recent successes that T&B (& RM as well in certain areas don't forget) have brought to our club. However, just been reading the...

    Back Up Your Files

    "Parse Error," said my laptop with a grumply bleep. "Cricketbook.abw, not well formed. Invalid token at line 236." I blinked in confusion. "Abiword cannot open Cricketbook.abw," it continued apace. "This is not a valid document." 'Well, that's strange,' I thought to myself. It was a valid...

    Alonso Attracts Attention

    Spain 5-0 New Zealand Torres 6, 14, 16 Fabregas 24 Villa 48 Rafa Benitez must be getting nervous. Real Madrid's moneybags President Florentino Perez has reportedly set his sights on Xabi Alonso and, after his performance in this dominant victory over New Zealand, you can hardly blame him. The...

    Bafana Bafana Give Me The Horn

    South Africa 0-0 Iraq The nation of South Africa is ready for the World Cup but sadly it seems that their football team are still lagging behind. Ellis Park, a stadium better known for its connections to rugby, played host to a most disappointing game of football, but it didn't dampen the...

    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...

    SZ Shop-Some issues

    First of all I'd like to apologise for posting this thread here but after a close look at the various forums on the site I couldn't see an obviously more appropriate place for it. The week after the Leicester home game back in April, I ordered an item from the SZ Shop as a gift for a friend in...

    Shakhtar Uk-reign Supreme

    Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1 Werder Bremen (aet) Adriano, 25 Naldo, 35 Jadson, 97 We've been told for some time that a new footballing power is rising in the east and Shakhtar Dontesk's capture of the UEFA Cup is compelling evidence indeed . The Ukrainian giants, funded by a wealth of gas revenue and...

    BNP and UKIP - EPIC FAIL

    I thought my fellow anti-BNP friends would enjoy my friends take on BNP and UKIP leaflets for the Euro-Elections: "This evening as I settle down to more work, I choose to not not respond to the provocation of European election flyers from the UK Independence Party and the British National...

    Ron's Blog 6/5/09

    Haven't seen this anywhere else yet...... Chairman's Blog What a good day Saturday was and with nothing to play for I thought that the team performed well and remained committed to the cause right to the end. It was also a day to celebrate the success of the Club’s youth policy which, I...

    I'd quite like to buy a flat with my girlfriend, but it's (almost) literally impossib

    Having watched house and flat prices soar now for about 15 years, I kinda always suspected they'd have to come down again at some point. And indeed they have of late. Yet STILL it's practically a dream for a first time buyer. Having had a chat with a financial advisor, we've got a few options...

    Can the club ever win?

    Well, as we near the end of another season, it is yet again time for reflection on what has been, what might have been, looking forward to what will be and - for a large majority of people - putting on their hindsight googles and viewing how it should have been. In my view we have had yet...

    What would you do?

    Serious question, What would you do, if a member of your circle of friends is lying to you? I'll use an imaginary scenario for you all. Imagine you are good friends with a number of people, for this story, we'll call them, imaginary names, like Bambi, MrB, Scrounger, Chadded (apparantly, this...

    Rons Blogg

    Chairman's Blog Firstly before I deal with Q&A there are one or two things to clear up. The first relates to Peter Clarke and an article in today’s Echo. In last week’s blog I set out the position, once again, surrounding Peter but for the record there have been no discussions with Peter...

    Peter Clarke - from the Horses Mouth (sort of)

    During and after today's game, I was chatting to Peter Clarke's Mum and Dad, and the question about him signing a new contract came up, and I asked is he going to be staying? The answer I got was not the one I expected! Having read various stories about Peter Clarke being unwilling to discuss...

    Champions League Reports

    Apologies, I've been rushed off my feet this week. Here's both games for you. Is it so inconceivable that Arsenal could end this strangest of seasons as Champions of Europe? Arsene Wenger described his side as 'super-outsiders' before the first leg of their clash with Villarreal, but even after...
