    Question Southend settlement???

    Just noticed on the weekly "blues insider" e-mail I get sent that the title is "Southend settlement". Going back through previous e-mails it is apparrent that the title is usually related to the first story in the e-mail. In this case however the lead story is on O'Donovan and how he's settling...
  2. Surviving Scudamore

    When Richard Scudamore announced the new home-grown quota system that will come into place for the start of the 2010/11 campaign, you could almost hear the penny drop in boardrooms across the country. From August 2010, a Premier League club will have it's squad capped at 25 players, containing...

    SZ Novella - Chapter 8

    Chapter Eight - The Reduced Hypertherpia of the Closed Mancharia Osymandus pulled on a pair of heavy trousers and sucked the fetid air in through his teeth. Behind him, Rick Astley's body congealed silently on the floor, but of all the contributory factors to the awful smell in the room, he was...

    Question Have you got any action as a direct result of SZ

    This is a annonymous poll. Was just thinking there must be a few couples or fumbles that have formed on here over the years? Maybe you were at a zone BBQ and pulled down the spread. Even the most tenious link is good?

    14 Months For Stoned Trucker Killer - Who's To Blame?

    The place where I work are running this story on their news page: A lorry driver who killed a young woman on the A13 in Basildon, while under the influence of drugs has been jailed for 14 months. The parents of Louise Cooper say they are outraged at the sentence given to trucker...

    Monday's Press Talk

    Something got me thinking just now whilst perusing the OS. For a club who have pubically belittled the local press, it's a little two faced to then be using said publication as "filler" to their own website. Four snippets pulled from the Echo? Bit off really isn't it? If you're going to...

    Phone Call

    Shamelessly nicked from another forum... **Rrriiiiinnnnggg, rrriiiinnnngg,** **'Hello?'** **'Hi honey.** **This is Daddy.** **Is Mummy near the phone?'** **'No, Daddy.** **She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.'** **After a brief pause,** **Daddy says,** **'But honey, you haven't...

    Deadline Day Drama! (sort of)

    Transfer deadline day is one of the most exciting of the season and, with the window slamming shut right on our deadline, you're not going to miss a thing. We told Iain Macintosh to power up his Blackberry, stay tuned to the news and scour the internet for rumours. Here's how his day panned...

    Slipper of the Yard

    Wonderful article here by one of my favourite journalists/commentators, Mark Steyn: “He was always affable and very much a gentle giant,” said Bruce Reynolds. “He was one of the old school,” agreed one of Mr Reynolds’ colleagues. Gentlemen publishers? Art dealers? Yes, Mr Reynolds has a...
  10. Ref Watch Another season .... another refwatch

    Man in charge of our curtain raiser on Saturday is Steve Cook from Godalming in Surrey. Although this is his third season, at 24 he remains one of the youngest officials on the list. He has officiated at Roots Hall twice before, both two seasons ago; the draw with Cheltenham and the win against...
  11. Haye Prays For A Giant Killing

    When I was at School, there was a bully who was a freak of nature to everybody else... Primarily because he stood at least a foot taller than everybody else with arms bigger than most peoples legs. One day, he took offence to my football hitting him and pushed me to the ground, So I know a...

    Ibrahimovic to Barca/Eto'o & Hleb to Inter

    Oh dear oh dear, I think Barca have really had their pants pulled down on this one. Ibrahamovic is a poor mans Berbatov at best! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/8159267.stm

    SZ Big Brother - Week 7 Eviction Night!

    The last vote from Old Blue Lady might not have helped her popularity as it pulled the safe looking duo of ldnfatso and The Flying Scotsman into the eviction places as they finished level on 99 points. Vange Shrimper was here this time last week battling it out against JoshC but now faces...

    Biggest Age Gap

    Ok so we have all been there. Had a few drinks, hit a club, pulled a 'looker' and found out she was only 15/16 when you are in your mid 20's yourself. Is that a bit wrong? What is the cut off point for you on age either way (younger or older) Being 24 (25 in 30 days) i cant go any lower than 18...

    Ron's Blog 3/7/09

    Chairman's Blog I promised to let you have my thoughts upon my “likes and dislikes of the football industry”. I can sum this up in one four letter word beginning with f… yes you’ve got it FANS! My immediate thought is that the most likeable part of football is winning. However on reflection...

    Do you mates "disappear" when loved up?

    This is something that proper dawned on me on Saturday night. I was invited to Sky Bar in Bas Vegas, for beers and stupid dancing by two girls who I hadn't seen in 3 months, partly because one of them is loved up. I originally didn't want to go with just two girls as I didn't have a wingman...

    A Woman's Week At The Gym

    Dear Diary, For my birthday this year, my daughter (the dear) purchased a week of personal training at the local health club for me. Although I am still in great shape since being a high school cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try. I...

    Worst date ever?

    Come on then ladies and gentlemen. We have all had some pretty terrible dates - so give us your horror stories. Mine dates back to 2006 time. I was doing a mortgage for a SZ poster who I wont name for fear of dating the data protection act or something similar. We met up at London Bridge where...

    Think what you like about the BNP

    But some of what they say does make sense... The BBC has pulled an appearance by British National Party leader Nick Griffin on today’s Politics Show at the last moment out of fear that his suggestions for the control of expense claims by members of parliament would find popular appeal...

    My end of season review.

    I was asked to write a review for college about a subject that inspired me, I didn't necessarily have to talk about how it inspired me but I just had to compile a 2000 word essay. So I chose to do a season review. Well here we are at the end of another season, although in the end we can feel...
