  1. Spare oldham ticket

    I Know It's Late, but my mate has now pulled out and is not going to oldham tomorrow. So I am going on my own and have a spare ticket. I also have an extra place booked on the coach if you need. I will keep checking up on the posts!

    What would you do?

    Serious question, What would you do, if a member of your circle of friends is lying to you? I'll use an imaginary scenario for you all. Imagine you are good friends with a number of people, for this story, we'll call them, imaginary names, like Bambi, MrB, Scrounger, Chadded (apparantly, this...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Paul Clark

    The Viking That alone might be enough words for many on here to vote yes to Paul Clark, but if you weren't fortunate enough to have witnessed his crunching tackles and never say die attitude, I suppose I should give a lengthier bio. The first local player up for election, Clark was born in...

    A Recovery Nightmare

    It all started normally. Flat battery in South Woodham Ferrers, clutch gone on an VW Camper in Westcliff another flat battery at Southend Hospital. All run of the mill stuff. Then I got a call for an Ford Scorpio in Pitsea with a wheel bearing gone and needing recovery to Great Yarmouth. That'll...

    blustery day - big pitch, decent stadium 12 thousand smiling northerners and a really annoying announcer shouting and screaming in the way too loud pa... they were trying really hard with give away season tickets and deck chairs on the pitch and each players soponsor announced - and going on...

    SZ Novella - Chapter Seven

    Chapter Seven - A Mystery Wrapped In A Riddle And Clad In A Southend United Scarf Ricey knocked once on the door of Osymandus' cottage. With a loud creak that seemed unnecessarily dramatic, it opened slowly to reveal a gloomy mess, lit only by a handful of candles scattered about the room...

    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...

    Simon Francis - Carlisle

    Class act today, superb. Forget your Sanks Ricey, this guy is the real deal. His set pieces were spot on and that free kick that hit the bar was a great effort. Was nice and tidy at the back, while being a great threat going forward. Also those sublime cross-field balls to him where he pulled...

    SZ Novella - Chapter Five

    Chapter Five - Red Sky At Night, Stokes' Delight Ricey sprinted down the back-alley, feet slipping and sliding on the wet concrete as he went. The sound of a gunshot echoed off the walls and he instinctively ducked, almost falling to the ground. Reaching the end of the passageway, he turned...
  10. ITV Commentators

    Aaaarghhh!!! Why are they so *****? First of all when Gerrard dived just outside the box the co-commentator brilliantly said... "There was no contact but..." If there was no contact then he dived, simple as that. Then with the goal when Torres put his hand on the defenders shoulder and quite...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - David Crown

    David Crown was my first footballing hero. I started watching Southend in the mid-80s, but despite constantly nagging the old man it wasn't until late 1987 that he started taking me along with him regularly. I suspect he was protecting me from the Dick Bate era. Fortunately the Bate spell was...

    Officials and Stewards.

    The result last night didn’t bother me too much because we created enough chances and on another night we could of won 4-1. If there are any zoners who referee at some level, I would like to hear your views on this. But what is really beginning to get to me is the standard of officiating in...

    Worst Injuries

    What's the worst injury you have suffered ? Whether it be a sporting injury, at work or just a freak accident. I've been quite lucky and never had anything to serious, touch wood I never will have. I pulled my hamstring just before christmas which was probably my worst.

    The first female manager in Britain

    Yep, next Wednesday, Fisher Athletic will be managed by a woman. A 27 year old woman at that. They're another sad story really. A club that was taken on by a man with money and bankrolled. Badly. Now they're stuffed as the plug has been pulled...

    How to start a fight

    Transfer Deadline Day, bit by bit.

    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 set his alarm clock early, power up his Blackberry, stay tuned to the news and scour the internet for rumours...

    Magical Modric

    Spread the word, Luka Modric has arrived. After six months of being kicked off the ball, stamped into the mud and having his pocket money stolen by the bigger boys, the little Croatian wizard has finally put in a performance worthy of his reputation. He tore Stoke City apart at White Hart Lane...
