    It's that time of year again. The time when the Giants of European football clamour together for one big orgy of tactical football and self-congratulation. yes, it's the Champions League group stages, and here is my run down of the groups and who to look out for. Group A On the face of it...

    Not Revelling in it

    Here's what's on the email this week instead of Revs Lee Barnard Interview Whilst there may not have been an influx of players coming through the door at Roots Hall this summer, the improvement in two player’s fitness, Dougie Freedman and Lee Barnard, has felt like two new signings and Blues...
  5. Did we gamble and fail ....

    When we got promoted to the Championship, did we gamble on players who couldn't produce the goods? We signed Paynter, Harrold and Foran. These players cost alot of money but never produced what was required for us to stay up. Foran cost £200k which could have been used much better. The...

    Blues Player Inteviews

    Heath: Didnt really commit himself to saying he wanted to stay. Wasnt sure about his future, but when pressed to say if he wanted to stay, he just said he "wants to play games (i.e. not specifically here)". Get the impression M'Voto has already been earmarked to take over next week. Tilson: Bit...

    Who let the Abbey out?

    Trialing with Wealdstone 30/7/2009 On Tuesday night, the Stones eased to a 4-2 win at Hanwell Town. Again triallists were amongst the goals including Jamie Osborne and Ben Abbey, who scored two, including a penalty. Ryan Ashe also scored from the spot. Former Oxford United and Southend...

Now don't get me wrong I rate my pal as a good player and at our level he is obviously a good player...

    Our squad

    One thing the Ipswich game pointed out to me was the lack of physical strength in our side. Apart from Laurant (who i thought was easily mom) jfc and perhaps Revell (tall but not strong imo) and Francis all our players seemed to be midgets or very lightweight in comparrison to Ipswich who's...

    Hall Of Fame

    Firstly I'd like to point out that this is by no way a dig at the fine work being done in the official SZ Hall Of Fame threads. It's a great idea and I think the rules in place and the democractic process should ensure the right results. However I do find it strange that someone like Ricky...

    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...

  14. Had enough of Ladbrokes...

    Had a Laddies account for a few years now and whilst not a prolific spender, must have put a few grand there way over the years, what with poker, saturday footie bets and over the counter at Thorpe Bay shop. Now what ****es me off is my mate never puts anything in his account and keeps getting...

    UFO's Part II

    Given the owners of this glorious site have withdrawn my right of reply in relation to the debate about UFO's, I feel I should add the following. Unidentified flying object (commonly abbreviated UFO) is a popular term for any seemingly aerial phenomenon that is not readily identified. Research...

    Rafa's Not Keane On Robbie

    As a GBP20m striker, failing to make the starting line-up is disappointing. Being repeatedly substituted on the odd occasion that you do is even worse. But the nadir of Robbie Keane's short and unhappy time on Merseyside must surely be the indignity of being kicked off the bench in favour of...

    Shrimpers Sing Their Way To Success

    It was all for nothing. I've worked long and hard over the last 18 months to build some kind of credibility with the UK press pack and on Saturday afternoon I ruined it all by going absolutely mental at Stamford Bridge. It's not the done thing to celebrate a goal in the press box, but wild...

    A ShrimperZone eleven...

    Our starting line-up... Like I say, we're trying to bring new people in, but it's tough out there and we don't have a huge amount of money. I think the team we have below for this season includes some of THE best partnerships but, well, you know, we're still keen to bring in another 5 or 6 to...
  20. Revell

    Thought i just pass over my views on this player.I've haven't seen player who is so determined or commited down at Brighton for quite some time.He will run and run all day making a big nuisance of himself which you can't fault. Now the downside to his game.He isn't a prolific scorer,probably get...
