    Memory Lane SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Ian Benjamin

    It's the answer to the most famous question in Southend United history: who put the ball in the Bury net? And as every Southend fan will gleefully tell you: Ian Benjamin, Ian Benjamin. Now this poll's been a long time coming*, but in some ways that's apt. *He received the required nominations...

  2. Smart businessman, or outright scoundrel?

    Over the course of the weekend I was tasked with finding a friend of mine a ticket for V Festival as she'd been ripped off on eBay and was in a bit of a panic about missing out. As it happens, I know someone from Uni who's a bit of a dab hand with these occasions. As something of a prologue...

    JCR Tonight

    Couldn't make tonight as was playing myself...looking at the teams, I see that JCR played for Brizzle City before being reeled in. ;) After his OTT celebrations after that FA Cup goal against us for Barnsley, I hope he got a hostile reception tonight!!!

    Memory Lane Pathe News Southend v Bristol Rovers FA Cup 1952

    Excellent footage from the old Southend Stadium in 1952 attendance 22,429. Just look at the pitch and some of the tackles how was that not a penalty? Southend players look pretty hard, the players of today would not last 2 minutes with that lot. Ah its Joe Sibley who squares up with the Bristol...

    FA Cup Draw On 1 July

    1pm at FA Headquarters. Details of who our local sides get will be posted as soon as I get them (by the way it should be noted that a full Southend Manor first team squad were back for pre-season training last Thursday). Basildon United have had the dubious distinction of being mentioned in...

    Liverpool Are Doomed - With Or Without Rafa

    Rafa Benitez deserves to be sacked. He’s had six years, hundreds of millions of pounds and Liverpool are worse off now than they were under Gerard Houllier. But if George Gillett and Tom Hicks think that his demise will make any difference to their stricken football club, they are very much...

  8. Thrills, Spills and Unpaid Bills - The League One Review Part Two

    Ok, here's the second part to my review of the League One season. Apologies for the delay, have been busy this past week. Brighton Quite how Brighton finished as high as 13th should pay great testament to the work of Gus Poyet since his arrival. Having narrowly avoided the drop last time out...

    Bullies and Bullying

    Now bare with me good readers, this is going somewhere but I want to give it some background first. When I was a kid I was bullied, bad. My first taste of it was at the grand old age of 4 years old at nursery school where a phycotic 5 year old used to attack the entire fraturnity. He would rip...

    BOGMISH Rd 1:1

    Welcome to the Battle of the Greatest Moments in (recent?) Southend History, where our opening tie is Big Bill Garner banging in 4 goals in a 7-0 romp against Weymouth in the FA Cup in the 1970/71 season up against Freddy keeping his nerve in a tense play-off game against Northampton. I look...

    Life In Tottenham

    Grown men bounce into each other like rubber balls on the street outside, screaming incoherently at each other in beery ecstasty. At the front door, a woman tries desperately to light a cigarette in shaking hands, eventually giving up and asking the bouncer to help, tears of joy in her eyes. All...

  14. Your Own Betting Rules

    Following on from Ux's post in the General Football Betting thread, do you follow any betting rules that you set yourself, be it from past experience or superstition? Personally, I never bet against Liverpool in Europe, never bet for/against Arsenal due to their rampant unpredictability and I...

    FM2010 (iPhone) Review

    When I was young I used to dream, not of a career in professional football, or of great riches or even of a date with Kim Wilde. Nay, those were the dreams of weaker folk. I dreamed of a portable 'Tracksuit Manager', that mid 1980s Spectrum classic. I dreamed of whiling away long car journeys to...

    Wembley's Awful Pitch

    90,000 seats, 2618 toilets, 26 lifts, 98 kitchens and 34 bars. Was it too much to ask for Wembley to provide just one decent playing surface? Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final was like watching naughty ten year olds playing football indoors on an untacked carpet. Every change of direction brought a...

    The FA Cup

    I see that there are 4 FA Cup replays this week, and the prime broadcaster ITV are electing to show the cash cow "league" instead. Their excuse is that clubs could not be persuaded to play either Tuesday or Thursday nights. After all the fuss about how utterly abysmal the FA Cup coverage was...
