  1. Good luck for tomorrow

    Colchester fan in peace here, Putting all club rivalry to one side i just wanted to log on tonight to wish you good luck for tomorrow. As a passionate supporter of over 35 years of Colchester United I know just how this situation could effect any club of our size in the lower divisions...

    I Heart Phil Brown

    As a fan of Southend United, the latest minnow to struggle for air in the small time, I tend to enjoy the misery of Premier League clubs more than most. Newcastle United's demise was particularly pleasing, given the arrogance of Freddy Shepherd towards the lower leagues. It's just a shame he...

  3. Tes

    Now a "powerful defender" for Felixstowe & Walton United, a mid-table Ridgeons Premier Division side (five divisions below the league). http://www.btinternet.com/~felixstowe/ Will hopefully get to see him play Saturday as Felixstowe visit Haverhill Rovers, a match I will be covering as usual...

    Why are transfers so hard to conclude in the modern era and where does it leave us?

    As it's all doom and gloom around here (perhaps a little unsurprisingly) I thought a topic to discuss in the meantime might be in order. So I thought we could discuss WHY transfers are so hard to conclude nowadays. Here's my lot: For a start, I think it's due to escalated prices. The top teams...

    Domestic Structure from 2010

    English County System Needs A Revamp

    Having spent time out in Australia last xmas I watched quite a bit of cricket, both International and State. One obvious thing is there are only 6 Aussie state sides compared to 18 English county sides. They dont use overseas players in 4 day games therefore every game will see 22 Australians...

    My new way of thinking - SUFC wise

    I am bored of reading the "Are we gonna sign anyone?", "When are we gonna sign someone?" or "Where's the money gone?" threads on here and i've thought about this hard. I am of the opinion that Uncle Ron has got the best interest of the club at heart in the long term ie: Stadium. I also...

    Chairmen’s Conference Portugal June 2009 – Two Important Issues

    As part of the Club’s policy of supporter communication I thought it may be helpful to advise of a couple of changes affecting football finances which were discussed last week between the whole of the Football League Clubs. Four times a year Football League Clubs meet to discuss matters...

    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...

    Return Of The Old Guard

    How very retro. There was a time when any game between Arsenal and Manchester United was epoch-shaking. They were the two giants of the domestic game, battling out their own private war while the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and, this'll make you laugh, Newcastle could only look on from the...

    Players the fans would like for next year

    I know all depends on who we can offload and what funds Ron makes available but in a world where we had a sensible amount of funds who would you like Tilly to be looking at for next year. I'll kick it off with a bit of dreaming: Dervite and Sawyer on year long loans - possible but unlikely. Leon...

  14. 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...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - David Webb

    For 84 years Southend was a team that bounced around the lower divisions. The opening words of the official club history are: "Other teams dreamt of Wembley, some hankered for the first division championship or a place in Europe - but Southend only ever wanted second division status." We'd...

    Question What's happening?

    Perhaps it's my imagination but viewing from afar there seems to be a bit of a bad atmosphere on SZ at the moment. Of course there's always been differences of opinion, that's the nature of a discussion forum, but just lately there seems to be some real divisions. Even jolly mods and owners...

    I thought I would depart from the normal RSXF theme of carl, steveo and I arguing with all the Godless lefties and discuss something which really doesn’t belong in the Pub section – my view on the current state of Southend United, both on and off the field. Steve Tilson has presided over one...

    The Role of Dean Austin

    I think we've done quite well in the Tilson era at spotting youngsters either from the lower divisions, or from bigger clubs on loan. Is this due to Tilly / Brush, or Dean Austin as chief scout? Austin was relatively low profile, but I reckon he may be missed around the place (until he returns...
