    Conflict of kit with the ref

    Now I've been noticing this a lot lately at our games with keepers and officials, but how on earth was the Montenegro goalie permitted to wear exactly the same colours as the officials last night?

  2. Unfulfilled promises

    So at the Q&A session that was arranged near the end of last season to deal with fans' anxieties about the state of OUR club, we were told that in the summer Tilly would get an assistant manager who would be popular with the fans and that work would also start at Fossetts Farm - also in the...

  3. Its Only A Game

    Why do people keep saying "it doesn't feel like my club anymore"?

    Why does this saying "it doesn't feel like my club anymore" keep cropping up over and over again in various threads. Its just like "Ron has ripped the heart out of my club" which is also as common. Managers and players come and go frequently but this year we obviously had a much bigger change...

    Lads, I have been asked to be best man for my mate Sweaty next summer. We were talking about his stag last night and he wants to do something a bit different. Money is not exactly tight but for the sake of getting everyone were looking for a bit of a do at the cheaper end of the scale...

    Advice re Private Sale and Data Protection question

    I'm having an issue with somebody I sold something to privately just now. The item in question was something I bought last year off eBay, from a business user. The guy I sold this item to is now querying the authenticity of what I sold it as (he's gone direct to the manufacturer querying the...

    Lewis Emaneul

    Played a friendly on trial for us exactly 2 years ago. He instead re-signed for Luton on 31 July 2009, stating he had "unfinished business to attend to". However, a broken toe sustained in the opening day of the season left Emanuel out of action for over three months. His return in December...

    Great Wakering Rovers In Mourning For Club Legend Johnson

    In these days of £200,000+ a week wages, of club chairmen and high court hearings splashed across the papers, we tend to lose sight of the very essence of what football really is all about. Great Wakering Rovers have lost one of the pillars of their club, as has football in Essex, with the...

    eHarmony

    I was chatting to my old mate Ritchie the other day. It's not his actual name but he bears an uncanny resemblence to Ritchie Rich from Bottom. Anyway, he's not exactly a babe magnet, so he's been trying out dating websites. This is, in his exact words, what happened when he tried eHarmony: "I...

    Christ, shrimperzone suicide coming up.... I've begun to take stock of the situation we find ourselves in. Probably because things looked so bleak and I was so angry and frustrated (as are we all no doubt) that i almost gave up completely on the club and in doing so, probably removed the...

  11. Thank you Steve, for the best 6 years of my Southend supporting life.

    My football club has changed, and I feel sort of empty today. For decades I supported Southend, and people would say "Who?" or "Southampton...?" or (most painfully) "Why???". And I dreamed of the day when I could casually mention my slightly strange affiliation, and people would nod, and look...

  12. Question Roots Hall Covenant

    Having read through quite a lot of the posts and the discussion it appears one of our saving graces may be the 'Covenant' that is in place on Roots Hall. Just a couple of questions... Who owns the land at Roots Hall? What EXACTLY does the covenant state?

    Perhaps someone on SZ(not necessarily a right winger)would care to have a go at explaining just what exactly is "new" about the "new politics"?
