  1. Irate Ian - his crusade to be welcomed in the long-term club interests or not?

    Can't help feeling that there is a personal battle going on on this site. Irate Ian has some (IMHO) valid questions to raise. Some others seem to be fed up with him - either because he's been round this route many times before or they have blind faith in Ron Martin. This seems to have become...

  2. New Signings

    I'm suprised at all these great signings, Especially at the possible signing of Dougie Freedman. It's given me hope now, I'm now starting to think that Southend are real contenders for promotion :). If we do end up signing Freedman, Other teams may even see us as a threat maybe?... Anyone...

    Rusty Shackleford's X-Files

    I'm not saying who I used to be on here, but I used to write a weekly column that was partly political. I am hoping that this will be the beginning of a new weekly column, if you playas are feelin' it. In my previous life on SZ, I offended a few people by being deliberately obnoxious. I...

  5. Sprinklers

    Seems our groundstaff haven't read the papers and seen this is the wettest August on record. Why - oh -why did they put the sprinklers on before the game? It could have cost us dear when a ball held up in a puddle early on but Mildy was able to collect easily. I remember last season when...

    "A referee who likes nothing more than to let the players get on with the game commanding respect with a quiet word here or there rather than the ostentatious approach of some referees. He is not at his best if matches get nasty, but to his credit most of his don't." I've seen Mr Singh referee...

  7. Zone Update The £80 million question

    Has been moved to Fossetts thread. Consider to review. The initial subject is a general forum subject [financial issue about raising by finance £80 million ], and I do not feel the mods should be moving it from General Chit Chat Forum. "slicing up of the cake" is not yet disclosed. SUFC are...

  10. Breaking News Revelling in it

    Revelling In It It’s strange, scoring goals can be both the easiest and hardest things in football, ask anyone, be it Alan Shearer or my mate Dave from the Dog and Duck FC! In theory, all you are doing is passing the ball in to a 24ft space but sometimes it feels like you are threading it...

    The big question facing Portsmouth

    With an FA Cup and back-to-back top ten finishes in the Premier League supported by a raft of promising summer signings, the big question facing Portsmouth this season is whether or not they have what it takes to break into the private party at the top of the table. Are they good enough yet to...

  12. Hooper and Kightley

    Didn't manage to get to the game yesterday so did the old trick of watching the scores on Soccer Saturday. First scorer of the day none other than Gary Hooper against promotion favorites Leeds. Bit later on and Kightley gets the equaliser for Wolves with the commentator saying that Kightley is...

  13. My only roots hall vist this season

    Felt the need to write a quick note as i dont get to do this much living in Australia. You would think the older you get and the less you see of your team the more your interest wanes. How wrong! I was so excited and couldnt wait for the game to start. It was like being a teenager again. All...

    Keeping some perspective

    I can't wait for tomorrow, it should be good. Well, except for the Roots Hall tea, but that's a given pain I will continue to bear until my memory starts working on match days. But I do find it odd that from the depths of despair 3 days ago we now have about 150 posts regarding our new arrivals...

    Now I'm fairly sure that I dream about Southend a lot - in fact last night I remember that I was going to the Peterborough game without a ticket. Cricko & Canvey were running a Shrimperzone stall outside Roots and I remember asking if they could sort me out. In fact, Uncle Ron provided me with a...

    Interview Disasters

    My mate was telling me the story of his first interview earlier, he was waiting in the office and decided he'd better lay some cable before going in. Unforrtunately the cable wasn't especially solid so he grabbed a load of loo roll for the clean up operation. When he drew the paper back it...
