    Rafa's Poisonous Glow

    There is a frog in Central America, the strawberry poison dart frog, that is born bright red as a warning to predators of the poison that lurks in its blood stream. It is not the only creature whose colour signifies danger. Certain snakes, insects and the oft-spotted Rafa Benitez all share the...

    Liverpool's Slippery Title Chase

    There's a distinct Joey Barton vibe about Liverpool this week. We look at them with a grudging respect, we acknowledge the good start, but we all share a growing sense of uneasiness, as if it's only a matter of time before they fall flat on their face, or in Barton's case, re-arrange someone's...

    Interview with an Exile: Part 1 - Aberdeen Shrimper

    The life of an SUFC exile can be a lonely one at times - and one which is a difficult existence to understand for some. I thought by setting up this weekly thread, we would get the opportunity to get to know some of the exiled posters on SZ a bit better. This week, Aberdeen Shrimper goes under...

    Metal Monday - A Cricko Special

    Yep, you read it right, a Cricko special. Cricko got to sample first-hand some of Brettie Angell's music collection at the weekend and I'm surprised, at his age, he managed to survive the audio assault. Anyway, he did speak favourably of one track he heard so naturally I had to put on Metal...

    Scolari Still Not Happy

    Under ordinary circumstances with an ordinary manager, a 4-0 victory in the Champions League might be considered worthy of celebration. However, it is rapidly becoming apparent that Luiz Felipe Scolari is very far from ordinary. "We did not play very well," he complained afterwards. "We made...

    And God Created

    In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and Magnums. And Satan said, 'You want hot fudge...

    And the Winner Is.....

    Hi chaps (and chapesses, naturally), Now that SUFC are out of the playoffs, the PL has come to an end. Thanks to all of you who took part, even if you only predicted on one fixture - it was a pleasure to run and I will, of course, be back next season where it will start all over again.... I'll...

    Can Anyone Top This On A Night Out?

    Met up with a mate this weekend who I hadnt seen for a while. Naturally we chatted about the good old days and then managed to remember a stonking event that happened during our misspent youth in Dukes. One night was at the bar and my mate Little John started chatting to this bird and her mate...

    Glasgow Rangers v Zenit St Petersburg

    Tired legs against fresh ones, defensive containment against attacking intent; tonight's UEFA Cup Final between Glasgow Rangers and Zenit St Petersburg will be a real clash of strengths and styles, but Dick Advocaat is convinced that he can secure a historic result against his old side. The...

    Fans Around the World

    Not sure if this has been covered but over the weekend (Telegraph I think) I read a piece about Leeds and their game against Gillingham, who weren't mentioned much, and the attempt Leeds are making to find a fan in every country in the world. Naturally it got me thinking about Blues' fans over...

  13. What are our supporters really like?

    This is not designed to be yet another Matt Harrold thread, but I am using Matt Harrold for the poll as he seems to stir emotions as to what we feel as a Southend fan. I've been concerned with some of the things I've read on here. We may all differ with our opinions, but I hope the vast...

    Ribery Set To Shine

    With Euro 2008 now less than 100 days away and UEFA showing no signs of inexplicably kicking anyone out of the tournament to make room for England, it’s time for acceptance. Naturally, this acceptance will come easier to you than it will to me, which is why I decided to get the heads-up on a few...

    Slipperduke's Glamorous Assignment

    Liverpool’s senior side may not be performing as well as we all suspect they could, but Reds supporters can rest easy in the knowledge that the next generation are doing just fine. Liverpool’s reserve side dished out an emphatic 2-0 beating to Manchester United’s second string on Wednesday...

    The question is where will it be achieved ? Naturally it will be away from home (and I've been fortunate enough to be at all of them since I started supporting in the early 70s). We have a choice of: Crewe away 5th April Carlisle away 19th April Tranmere away 26th April Jeeeeeeeeeeeeez -...
