    Paul Sturrock

    SOUTHEND United manager Paul Sturrock insisted he decided to change goalkeepers for Saturday's draw against Torquay in a further bid to freshen up his side. More...

    Mr Brown, bit of advice, SMITH OUT!

    if you want to win football games. Well discussed on here but as you would have seen yesterday, Smith completely bottled the cross for the second goal costing us yet again. Can't believe he didn't cut that one out as he had first shot at it but refused yet again. Please don't play him again as...

    Graham Coughlan

    Not sure if this has already been mentioned or discussed but is there any news on what will happen with Graham Coughlin now that Luggy has been axed. I hear from many sources that he was very keen on being the successor to Luggy one day and didn't always go about it in the best way at times...
  4. Shrimperzone Holiday

    I'm gonna have a break from this forum. I am as disappointed as anyone else about how this season has self imploded, league status is and should always be the most important thing and ultimate goal at the start of any season !!!! However, we are not going down., nor are we fighting off...

    Fm2013 Network game

    Right then this was discussed on the other thread but thought i would put details here. One person sets it up and then writes the server name here, then everyone else joins that game. To set it up we need to decide a few timing based things, if whoever wants in goes onto create new game, then...
  6. A.d.h.d

    Having gone to school in the 70's and 80's i cannot recall anyone having A.D.H.D, O.D.D etc. I realise these are known conditions but in my day bad behaviour would result with the slipper at best. I'm not sure on this as I believe many young people claim this as an excuse for their ways...
  7. Latest Meeting with the Club.

    Just back from a near 3 hour meeting with Steve Kavanagh and Paul Fitz from the Trust that covered a large number of topics. I will publish the answers to nearly 40 questions as soon as the club provide them. Further meetings are planned and I will be asking members' views on a variety of...

    Trust & ShrimperZone Meeting with Ron Martin

    Ken Jarvis representing ShrimperZone and I (Paul FitzGerald) met with Ron Martin on Tuesday night to try to clarify the state of the clubs finances and the status of the FF development. Not hugely surprising but our meeting with Ron turned into a double act. Steve Kavanagh came across well...
  9. Investing Question

    Couldn't find any threads on this from the past couple of years, so thought I'd create a new one. Sorry if this has been discussed before. I have some money in a Savings Account getting interest at about 0.2% per year, so I am wanting to get more for my money. I've heard about Cash ISAs and...
  10. Anyone know why there's lack of info on official club site?

    Hope this is okay for my first thread. It has been quite obvious since the unfortunate play-off defeat that there has been a lack of updated news regarding the first team on the Club's official site. Without the risk of being accused of fishing the last time there were such delays it led to...

    Freddy's strike partner

    It's been briefly discussed in another thread but I thought this deserved a discussion of it's own. So, who is best suited to play alongside Freddy? I see Harris and Benyon too similar to Freddy as the 'fox in the box' style forward. In my opinion there are 2 options. 1. Bilel Mohsni -...

    The right to die - Tony Nicklinson

    I'm not sure if we have discussed this issue before. I have been following the case of Tony Nicklinson who has locked in syndrome since having a stroke in 2005. In short he has been given the right to go to court to ask for a doctor to kill him. He is apparently too ill to travel to Dignitas in...
  13. Get behind the team at home - league stats

    Comparing our home form with our away form sheds some interesting light on a couple of issues we've discussed widely on SZ of late, namely tactics away from home and lack of atmosphere at home. Home form, we've won half our games (8), draw 4 and lost 4. Scored just 23, but conceded only 15...

    Memory Lane The Blues Brothers XIs

    Now i know we've discussed this a million times, but i can't recall ever fitting our Blues Brothers into a team, and certainly not pitching them against their kin .. The Blues XI GK: Darryl Flahavan LB: Bob Worthington CB: Leon Cort CB: Peter Watson CB: Efe Sodje RB: Dave Worthington LM: CM...
  15. Yesterday's bookings

    I don't know if this has been discussed elsewhere but does anybody else think it more than a coincidence that Timlin and Phillips both got bookings yesterday and are thus suspended for the next match ie Tuesday evening against Swindon. Of course Timlin couldn't have played anyway Both will now...
  16. So here's the Funny Thing.

    I was standing in the que to take my son swimming lessons, wearing my Southend shirt, When a big Irish man walked out of the que 2 infront of me, walked over to me and said "bloody great game that Man U V Southend". I agreed, and we discussed further the game. Then out of the blue he said that...
  17. Trio of Clubs interest in Trio?

    The Sunday express reported in a small caption yesterday that Nottingham Forest are hot on the trail of Kane Ferdinand and Bilel Mohsni. and a few lines in the Sunday People suggested Ipswich and Crystal Palace have stepped up their pursuit of Ryan Hall. As I said in a previous thread I wonder...

    East vs. West

    This has probably been discussed upteen times before so apologies in advance. :blush: I'm hoping to bring my bro-in-law (spurs supporter) to the Morcambe game to try and convert him. But wanted to make sure I got seats with the best view of the game (halfway line??) and atmosphere. So I...

    Death Penalty vote back in the forefront

    According to Sky News, MPs may be about to debate the reintroduction of the death penalty: With the vast improvements in DNA and forensic findings, is it time for a more up to date viewpoint from the cross section of SZ posters at large? For myself, I believe that if the evidence is 100%...

    The dominance of the NFC East

    Following on from the MLB trivia thread, where we discussed the fact that no NFL division has four teams that have all won a super bowl, I thought it was interesting to analyze which of the eight divisions has been most successful in terms of Super Bowl wins and appearances. With forty five...
