    Question Last Minute Goals ... Most Important ??

    We seem to have developed this knack of last minute goals, which proves to me the spirit and desire in the camp is still spot on, contrary to what some people will have us believe. All these goals have meant something (obviously) but what has been your favourite, and what do you feel has been...

    Memory Lane SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - - Sid Broomfield has passed away RIP Sid

    When I suggested we should have on SZ a Hall of Fame to recognise the true legends of Southend United, I wanted us to recognised those individuals who helped build the club. In Sid Broomfield's case he did this literally. Sid Broomfield might not be the most famous name in Southend United's...

  3. Judgement Night: Manny Pacquaio Vs Oscar De La Hoya

    Good night of boxing lined up tonight... Khan destroyed Fagan in 2 rounds, although Khan is back to fighting absolute no-marks again. Key event of the night is probably the fight of the year, with Pacman coming up against arguably one of the greatest fighters of the decade. Pacquiao is a...

    Calzaghe v Jones Jr

    IMO as big a fight as Hatton mayweather , both dominated their respective divisions in the last 10 years with Joe getting the edge from the uk bookies as he has been active in the lkast 4 years at the top level . Trouble for me is that no matter how much i want JC to win and retire as the...

  5. Question Who should take our Corners

    About 90% of our corners have been an absolute joke this season, with most not even clearing the first defender who easily heads out of harm's way or even worse sets his team on the counter attack with our defenders racing back. The biggest culprit has been HRK, even tho he at last got in a...

    Scolari Still Not Happy

    Under ordinary circumstances with an ordinary manager, a 4-0 victory in the Champions League might be considered worthy of celebration. However, it is rapidly becoming apparent that Luiz Felipe Scolari is very far from ordinary. "We did not play very well," he complained afterwards. "We made...

    Robinho. Plays For City. Weird.

    Robinho plays for Manchester City. Robinho. Plays for Manchester City. Go on, say it out loud. It doesn't sound right, does it? Nevertheless, thanks to piles of recently acquired Arab oil money, one of the best footballers in the world will soon be wearing the same sky blue shirt that so...

    Who'll be this season's first managerial casualty?

    Well, we've had at least 3 games now in all divisions so someone will get the boot imminently in this wonderful world of football. At the moment, it seems like half of the forum want it to be Tilson, but looking further afield, who will be the first more high profile loss? Benitez? Ramos...

    Hull - Ashbee

    The Hull captain Ian Ashbee is to become the first player to captain the same team in all 4 divisions. not a bad effort unless Phil Brown strips him of his captaincy in the dressing room prior to the game which would make a good youtube clip.

    The Premier League may be coming to an end, but the divisions beneath it are just gearing up for their most exciting games. The play-offs start tonight and I'm all of a tremble because my beloved Southend are involved, preparing to battle away for a place in the Championship and a chance to...

    "squeaky-bottom time."

    For the first time since 1968, the destination of the title will be decided on the last day between two teams on level points. One slip-up, one mistake, and an entire season's hard work will come crashing down around the ears of one unfortunate manager. Hundreds of millions of people will crowd...

  14. Our 3rd best season at this level

    Anyone still underestimating what a great job Tilly and Brush have done this season might want to consider the following stats: Its 50 years since the old 3rd north and south was reorganised into 3rd and 4th divisions and this season is now going to be our 3rd best placing in 3rd tier since...

    A possible League One scenario

    If either Doncaster or ourselves triumph in the playoffs and Wednesday (or Leicester/Southampton for that matter) come down, is it even going to be worth trying to find League One reporting on anyone else?? I believe Leicester have never been out of the top two divisions.

    20 Points more for a play off spot?

    Read in the Echo last week Tilly reckons 70 points will make a play of spot. On the face of it this doesn't look massively daunting as it represents 50% of points available.Win our remaining 7 home games and we would do that(Agreed thats unlikely I think 70 points is probably at the lower end...

    Two interesting FA Pilot Schemes

    10 reasons why Tilson should stay regardless of what happens this season

    1. Colin Murphy (1992-93) - crap manager, boring defensive long ball tactics never worked. 2. Barry Fry (1993) - as he wasn't Southend he betrayed us at the first opportunity, unsettling all the remaining players for the rest of that season and the following season. 3. Peter Taylor (1993-95) -...
