    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...

    May Day?

    http://gu.com/p/2mqzm Should we continue to have a public holiday on May Day or have a UK Day or Trafalgar day instead?
  3. Coulson Offers Resignation

    Andy Coulson has reportedly offered his resignation in the wake of the phone-tap scandal, according to a few sources on Twitter. I have to say, that's a pretty big score for the Guardian, who pushed their investigation in spite of News Corp. attempting to silence it. EDIT: Instead of offering...
  4. Question Southend the new Brighton?

    Odd title but here me out.... I have done alot of work with Brighton and Hove Albion and it has dawned on me that Southend find themselves very much in the same dangerous position that Brighton did back in 1997. At the time Brighton had a Chairman called Mr Bellotti (Ron with less lushious...

    Atmosphere at Roots Hall, and people moaning!

    Hi all! :) After a few very very poor games at Home over the last month or so, there has been lots of people moaning about the atmosphere at Roots Hall over the past few weeks. Yes the football has been **** but why not come and support the boys. Lets be honest without Block W (Blue Voice)...

    Question 105 Years of the Southend United Name...

    Can you pin this please, mods? Just got this message on FB: At the turn of the twentieth century, the top football side in the town was Southend Athletic, but in 1905, they had begun to struggle both on the pitch and financially. However, ideas had been mooted around to turn Athletic into a...

    Adam Bouzid

    Is this guy the forgotten one!? Just can't see him getting much of a sniff at all this season. I mean, Easton gets injured and we have Bouzid, but instead, we go out and get Timlin in on loan. I'm not berating Timlin at all as i think he's fitted in and done a reasonable job. Is it that Sturrock...

    PL Weekly Points Round 12

    With 3 0-0s and a couple of 4-1 away wins it was bound to be a poor week (though 99% of you did better than me so don't go getting despondant now) HBK got his usual 5 only instead of being tucked away in lower mid table as usual he shares the podium with Emma, who notched the only spot on...

    Blues Player - AGAIN!

    Instead of Southend commentary we have Yeovil. Gillingham feed just cut on me as well. Un-effing-believable.

    I Love Southend And support the CLUB fully...

    hopefully this will be short but i have just had enough of the moaners on here and 606 p.s these are just my views as a loyal blue, business man & a man who knows his football inside out. What happened last season happened was Ron to blame? In my eyes the guy put money into the club trying to...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Dave Smith (2nd ballot)

    Up for election to the SZ Southend United Hall of Fame is manager Dave Smith. Smith came incredibly close last time, missing out by just 0.26%. Will he fare better at his second attempt? Here's what I wrote last time: ---------------------------------------------------- This poll is really a...

    Memory Lane Derek Bellotti v Colin Morris 1:9 - poll added

    Right, to distract us from this weekend's game we can instead wallow in nostalgia and consider the merits of goalkeeper Derek Bellotti and forward Colin Morris. Post your memories of both up and a poll will follow later.

    Are we being primed for a relaxation in drug laws?

    Am I alone in detecting a subtle change in the media narrative regarding drugs? Instead of stories of how about drug use can damage people's lives we've instead recently had stories about the impurity of cocaine and about Mexico being at threat from turning into 1990s Colombia. Neither story...

    The Blues or The Shrimpers?

    I know that this has been discussed before, but with the current positive vibes emenating from RH, is it time to consider moving back to "The Shrimpers" rather than the rather generic "The Blues"? I don't follow "The Blues", I follow "The Shrimpers". The club's nickname should relate to its...

    Ticket Office vs Gillingham

    I'm not sure if anyone else had problems but I noticed that some did against Port Vale, admittedly I went to the East Stand so can only comment on that particular one, I'm not able to say if the West Stand was poor again so I'll leave you lot to fill me in on that. Basically, instead of...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame 7th Round Nominations

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame (courtesy of Yorkshire Blue) For a bit of fun and to honour our club's history, I propose starting a SZ Hall of Fame to recognise the true legends of Southend United. The words legend and great are bandied about a bit too often for my liking, I'd like our Hall...
  19. There may be trouble ahead...

    Oh dear, oh dear.... On that showing, relegation is a real possibility. Totally clueless, ineffective and downright sh*t. The problems, well, where to start? Firstly - Long ball football; Reality hit home today. Hard. Under Tilly we constantly tried to get the ball down and play football...
  20. Ticket office fiasco

    Well I arrived at the ground at just before half past two and made my way to the ticket office to be greeted by a fairly long queue. No worries I thought lots of time before kick off. How wrong could I have been. 45 minutes later and I've just got in. They had run out of paper tickets so had...
