    Help me settle tonights food dilema.

    On a Wednesday night I go out and play football. As a result the Mrs kindly had dinner on the table for me when I get home at 9pm. As a night in can be a bit boring when you only have a 15 month old for company the Mrs often invites one of her pals over for some food which I always encourage as...

    Australian Football Blog

    I started doing one of these when I first moved over, however living life in Australia became more time consuming I didn't have so much time to write about it. However I want to start doing it on a regular basis. SO if anyone's interested in reading it then please feel free to offer any...

    Looking on the brighter side !

    After all the negativity of the last few days and how that we've got a horrible February fixtures wise i thought that i'd have a look and see whats in store for our fellow relegation candidates and in my estimation i think it doesnt look too bad for us..... Stockport (currently 16pts) have...
  4. Some positives from tonight

    It's not easy after a 3-0 home defeat but I'm gonna attempt to raise the spirits. I think the word to some Norwich up tonight was clinical. They had a spell in the first half where they had a few shots but I never thought they got in behind us. I went in at half time thinking it was pretty even...

    Special Edition Fanzine?

    Was thinking of ways to try and make some money and came up with the idea of a Special Edition Fanzine. Maybe if a local printer company could do it a bit cheaper than normal we could make a bit more money, even if it won't be done in time for Wednesday it could still make some money for the...
  6. Stan Collymore Wants To Help.

    Stan Collymore has very kindly offered to help Southend in any way he can, as he has never forgotten what Southend did for him. I'm not suggesting that Stan could wipe out the entire tax debt, but if we could take him up on his offer, it may help quite a lot, and could make the balance easier to...

    Question Lapland UK

    Has anyone taken the kids to Lapland UK Here? Looks very magical and a hell of a lot cheaper and easier to get to! Still, it has cost me £260 to take the missus and nipper for a 4-5 hour experience. I was wondering if any of the SZ faithful have been in previous years? Is it worth the money?

    PS3 or Xbox 360? Help!!

    Good people of SZ, please help me out of my quandry... Now, I am not a massive gamer, hence my need to pose this question in the first place. But, I now found myself needing a games console to waste a few hours during the cold winter months etc. I also have a 4 year old lad, who I'm sure would...
  9. Ref Watch ..... The Paint Thing

    The referee for tomorrow night's early kick off at the rather nicely appointed stadium of the rather nastily created MK Dons, is Oliver Langford from Darlaston, near Walsall in the West Midlands. In just his second season as a Football League referee, he has only refereed Southend once before...

    Do blokes ever befriend women purely for Friendship.

    Last saturday after getting back from the game of the century (Southend vs Oldham) I was expecting a night at home with the Mrs and maybe some good home cooked food. When I got home it became apparant this would not be the case as she had three of her best friends over. Not an issue always nice...

    Go easy on x-service men or not???

    There is an interesting debate currently on Radio 2 regarding the sentencing of x-service men. The question being asked is, should judges go easier on x-serviceman when sentencing them? There are almost as many former servicemen in prison as there are British forces in Afghanistan, according...

    Question Had James Walker scored at Donny.

    If James Walker had converted his chance which looked easier to score than miss where would we be now? Assuming we had gone up that year I think we may have had enough quality plus some extra knowledge and had the ability to stay up. Bailey would have stayed, so maybe would Mulgrew, and Clarkey...
  13. Help Please!

    Hello Southend fans Sorry for being a nuisance and cluttering your forum up but I am compiling a project about football grounds and am featuring your ground. Wondered if anyone could complete the following questionnaire for me. Thanks for your time 1. How long have you been watching Southend...
  14. Legalise drugs article.

    Taken from the New Scientist, fascinating article that I totally agree with. I know it's an age old topic on here but it's a slow day. Far from protecting us and our children, the war on drugs is making the world a much more dangerous place. SO FAR this year, about 4000 people have died in...

    No Chance For Youth At The Top

    One week on from The Great Chelsea Punishment and still the sense of shock reverberates through the global game. A steady stream of similar accusations have trickled in through the front door of FIFA HQ with some of English football's proudest names implicated in the scandal. Poaching, it is...

    Just suppose...

    Tilly believed Heath and White were going to stay. When they joined, Col U had a different manager. They've done well for us and have now been recalled, leaving us just one weekend prior to the window closing. Left back is the real problem position and Tilly is in talks with an out of favour...

    Get well soon Irish Shrimper

    Because it got merged with the main BB thread, many of you may have missed the news that Ant got struck down with pneumonia while on honeymoon (only Ant, eh?!) and ended up in hospital. I'm sure many of you would like to join in wishing him a speedy recovery - though I can think of easier ways...

    Referees Are Cowards

    Another year, another desperate attempt by the Football Association to regain some semblance of control over their sport. This week's announcement that managers will no longer be able to criticise referees before the game has even started is just the latest in a series of inadequate sticking...
  20. Great work Sir Steve

    suddenly we are overwhelmed with reasonable quality defenders - he did tell us that it would get easier as the clock ran down ..... and we have the talent of Sawyer added into the midfield mix and hopefully a fit frontline that might get going this year - bring it on - we can get out of this...
