    Fed up, rather then boycotting home games I am going to boycott Shrimperzone

    What is it with certain people on this forum, do they expect us to win every week, and be playing in Europe. I spend far too much time reading this forum, and to be honest I am getting sick of Wiggy, TMWLT and many others just wasting my time by having to read the rubbish they are writing...

    Reading - Arsenal

    I covered this game last night, and if you didn't see it then congratulations. It was truly awful and a shocking example of the way the game has gone in the top flight. Here's the report, have a read and be thankful that Southend aren't in the Premier League! "What do you do with a problem...

    Drop Gerrard

    Someone pointed me in the direction of this compilation. Well worth a view if you are under the mistaken belief that "Stevie G" is the man to build England's team around. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYHggzKlAi4

    Peter Clarke: top bloke but careless? Discuss.

    I was at Saturday's game and again was struck by how edgy I get when Peter Clarke gets involved around the box: great player, great battler but too prone to the occasional costly mistake. Having just watched Saturday's highlights on Blues World it's worrying to see how much space the central...

    Uncyclopedia

    Not sure if it's been mentioned here before but if you haven't seen it, it's a damn funny read. Nowt like made up stuff!! Uncyclopedia Example: SAN DIEGO, California -- President Bush, after being asked for a federal response to the wildfires that are engulfing several regions of California...

    Nike agree Umbro deal

    BBC News I wonder if this would ever filter down into our Just Sport agreement? Some of the Umbro kits this season are quite smart, be nice for a change from Nike maybe? *** Doh, just noticed the spelling mistake in the thread title, can a king mod amend it please? ***
  7. My current top five hates

    After England's great result last night and the fact that it's only Thursday, i'm in a negative mood today (could you tell?). So, here are my top five things to hate at the moment and why... 1. Facebook. Fed up of people talking about it. I'm pretty much the only person out of my friends who...

    The Big Issue - PFL

    Right, as you all well know, i played, lets say, a fair weakened team in the FC this week. Titterton and Jackman only played by mistake, as i sold 2 of my average/slightly trainable 17yo's at 9am on Tuesday morning. Raven, Guy and Tapp - are all still at invigorated and have been since Tuesday...

    Mobile Phone Question

    As I've said on other phone threads I made a huge mistake when I was due my latest upgrade with Vodafone and got a Blackberry. After a couple of months of various discussions about their past terrible customer service with Vodafone, I've finally realised there's no way I can get another phone...

    Wiggy's ratings, last night.....

    Collis 6 nothing to do, kicking wayward 1st half Barratt 7 got stuck in and got forward Clark 9 brilliant, quality player if he can cut out the odd mistake Hunt 3 oh dear, not up to the job, got slaughtered 1st half, one of 2 weak links Gower 6 poor 1st half and got involved in aggro, improved...

    The Rain in Spain ...

    ... falls mainly in Jávea at the moment. This is a photo of the view from my front door just a few minutes ago. Note the river running down the road (taking much of the surface with it) and the fact that our normal view over the orange groves and down to the sea has disappeared into a mist of...
  13. Tilly on BBC Essex

    Was listening to the radio on the way back from the game yesterday and I'm sure Tilly said he was still looking for a couple more additions - then he felt we could really challenge for promotion. The interviewer didn't really pick up on it so I may have mis-heard. But is Tilly thinking of...
  14. Tilly in Loan market

    The loan market opens again in a couple of days, and Tilly said he would like to bring in another forward. 1. Do we need another forward on loan? 2. Shouldnt we give our current forwards a go at striking up a partnership, rather than changing it all the time? Bringing in a forward in...

    Helen Mirren comes to Leigh

    Signing at a bookshop it seems. If reports are to be believed she's described her birthplace, or more accurately Southend as a ****hole. Now whether it's true or not I'd rather some ugly old slapper of a celebrity (that for some inexplicable reason gets middle aged men all hot and flustered)...
  16. Is it me or are we turning against each other

    I don’t know if it is just me or other folk have noticed it as well but there appears to be an increase in fellow SZ members turning on one and other. I don’t mean healthy constructive discussions or a good dose of humorous sarcasm, i mean comments like “F**K off and support another club” and...
  17. Football League newspaper

    Hi Southend fans, Just a quick request for your opinion. Apologies if I'm violating any forum protocols by posting this here. Mods - feel free to delete or move if I have, but I'd like Southend fans to have their say on this if possible. Anyway, I work for a publishing company, and we're...

    Time for changes! Tilson and Brush out!

    Not been on since last week, and having read through all these threads since then and including Saturday's game i'm even more keen for for Tilson and Brush to depart. I dont care what anyone says, we're heading down to league two. Tilson and Brush have taken us as far as they can. We need...

    BluesWorld Woes(The sequel-A cautionary Tale)

    Coming back to Spain yesterday ,refreshed and suntanned, after a month's holiday in the South of France and Crete, I was of course further uplifted by our recent excellent results against Millwall and Watford. So, in a momentary lapse of reason, I decided to renew my lapsed subscription to Blues...
  20. Tilly reveals failed targets

    This has probably already been covered as it was on the echo website a few days back but I'm out of the country so let me off. Just been reading the article "Tilly still in hunt for a striker" and some names were mentioned as to who we've tried for. Jermaine Beckford from Leeds, obviously Roy...
