    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Alan Moody

    Next up for nomination is Alan Moody. The last two nominees, David Crown and Ricky Otto look unlikely to make it into the Hall of Fame (at least on the first ballot), probably because their glittering Southend career's were deemed too short. That is unlikely to keep Alan Moody out. In fact it...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - David Webb

    For 84 years Southend was a team that bounced around the lower divisions. The opening words of the official club history are: "Other teams dreamt of Wembley, some hankered for the first division championship or a place in Europe - but Southend only ever wanted second division status." We'd...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Billy Best

    I never saw Billy Best play. What I have seen was the reverence that those who had, hold Billy Best. The mere mention of his name and fans of a certain age go all misty-eyed. I first noticed this phenomenon in 1993. I knew Stan was good, but I wasn't at that stage sure quite how good he was...

    Postponed Games the way it used to be.

    Here's one my snippets from eighty years ago : Saturday 16th January 1926 READING 1-0 SOUTHEND UNITED A frosty pitch had been covered by five inches of snow, but in the 1920s the Football League disapproved of games being called off and expected clubs to do everything in their power to make...

    Nervous Gunners Slip Through

    Cesc Fabregas is the youngest Arsenal captain since Tony Adams and, appropriately enough, the new era began much like the old one. The Gunners were tentative and unsure of themselves, but recovered their composure to sneak a victory. One nil to the Arsenal? Meet the new boss, same as the old...

    It's not boring being a shrimper!

    Unashamedly tugged from the Snooze of da World,it has now been 73 games since Southend had a goalless draw in the league-the longest run in the football league!
  7. Rovers Have Appealed

    The sending off on Friday. I'd be surprised if it goes through but there we go. There has been a rumour that your guy was giving Heffs a bit of stick for being Irish which is not right but for me I think it'd be hard to get it overturned. DONCASTER Rovers striker Paul Heffernan is hoping that...

    The fbm report - Donny play off 1st leg

    STILL ALL TO PLAY FOR IN SEASIDE STALEMATE Southend will have an uphill task if they are to make Wembley in the play offs this year as an impressive Doncaster outfit held the divisions form team to a goalless draw at Roots Hall this evening. The stadium had a fantatsic atmosphere this...

    Manchester United v Barcelona part 2

    When he looks back on this game, Cristiano Ronaldo’s only consolation will be that at least John Arne Riise’s mistake was worse. Not many gifts get handed out at the Camp Nou, but Gabriel Milito’s decision to wave his hands in front of a second minute corner like a man trying to shake off the...

    Chelsea into the final.

    When Petr Cech acrobatically tipped Steven Gerrard's late shot over the bar, he prevented Chelsea from having to win their second leg 3-0 in order to progress to the Final. When John Arne Riise stooped to head past Pepe Reina, he left the London side needing just a goalless draw to book their...

    The fbm report - Walsall

    BLUES GO FOURTH AFTER SADDLERS STROLL Well, stroll might be too strong a word for what on paper was only a 1-0 victory but in reality Southend put on their best and most entertaining performance for many weeks as they totally dominated Walsall at Roots Hall today. The fact that the scoreline...

    Quaresma

    While England’s footballers sulk in their sun-loungers, the rest of the continent will be contesting the 2008 European Championships. Iain Macintosh, who still won’t allow the word ‘McClaren’ to be uttered in his home, runs the rule over some of the potential stars of the summer. This week, it’s...

    Arsenal rue missed chances

    How can two goalless draws be so different? Chelsea’s blank with Olympiakos on Wednesday morning was so desperately dull that it could have come straight from Dante’s sixth circle. This, though, was so different. Still no goals to write about, but it was never anything less than pulsating. Only...

    Boring, boring Chelsea

    Thanks to Chelsea, I’m in a lot of trouble right now. You see, when I cover an away game from the television, I usually take the opportunity to invite a few people over, let them raid my beer fridge and then sit nearest the television with a notepad while they chatter around me. It was only...

    Nothing Yet For Keegan

    Newcastle’s worrying, barren run under Kevin Keegan stretched to its third game on Wednesday morning when they were beaten for the second time in four days by Arsenal. Once again, the Magpies came to play football and once again they were ruthlessly punished for their audacity. Most managers...

    Essex Enquirer - Oxford Game

    Journalists often get criticised for their inaccurate reporting so how about this about the Oxford match from the Essex Enquirer..... "The scoreline may have been goalless but the second round F.A. Cup tie between Oxford and Southend was anything but dull" "It was a tense and absorbing...

    Under-18s draw with Gillingham

    Southend United's Under-18 side today picked up the first point of their Youth Alliance Cup Group 2 campaign after a goalless draw at home to Gillingham. Neither side looked like scoring during the first half, but James Lindie was unfortunate on a couple of occasions during the second period as...
  18. Keep the faith

    I sometimes have a look on this site to see how you lot are getting on – ever since Eastwood was first linked with us. Recently you have signed ex Wolves player Leon Clarke so I am also interested to see if he has progressed at all since he departed Molineux. Judging by some of the posts, It...

    David Lee

    The arrival of former Aldershot Town midfielder David Lee has boosted Ryman League Division One North club Harlow Town, although player-manager Ryan Kirby admits he does not know how long he will hang around for. Lee enjoyed a confident debut in last Saturday's goalless draw at Canvey Island...

    Orient

    I went to watch Orient play out a goalless draw with Barnet last Tuesday. Thank god we are out of that division - what a bunch of useless talentless cloggers! (Barnet weren't much cop either!)
