    Grete Waitz - RIP

    I've just read that Grete Waitz has passed away from cancer at the young age of 57. She won two London Marathon's and 9 in New York, and was probably responsible for women to compete in the longer distances. IIRC up until 1984 the longest distance women ran on the track was 3000m. RIP

    I have been in the W block for many years and i am still shocked by the things people get up to Friday some of the little maggots decided to start throwing water around!! i see that Sumo guy had to explain to some chap what happened and credit for him doing that but to many of these 12-16 year...
  3. The problem with football...

    Hi all...these days I usually respond to threads something around 7-pages in which takes about 2 seconds thought and isn't very serious, just the usual tired crap of taking the **** out of RM, (which lets face it isn't hard, I mean every time he opens his mouth to the press it's bloody hilarous...
  4. Time for action NOW ?

    With nothing left to play for and it being very unlikely we could go down, is now the time for EVERY supporter to stand up to Mr Martin and show their disgust at how he has insulted players, staff and fans with his latest comments ? I would suggest a total boycott for one home game. I will not...
  5. Spurs Blown Away

    Shall we just dive straight into the main talking point of the match? What on Earth had Ray Wilkins taken before the match? He was like a man possessed last night and had the general demeanour of a crack addict desperately seeking a score. "Stay on your feet, stay on your feet, stay on your...

    New John Sitton vid on Youtube...

    Anyone that has seen some of my posts on Facebook and Twitter will know that I am a big fan of former Orient manager, John Sitton - probably because he represents the nutter I would inevitably turn into if I too had to motivate a bunch of under-performing wasters at the bottom of the League...

    A Bit of Fun Tilson still not seen his money?

    Thought this was worthy of being in the main forum for now, rather than in the 'Ex-Shrimpers' forum where hardly anyone will see it. A little birdie told me recently that Mr. Tilson still hasn't seen any of the monies that he is owed by the club. That includes wages for 3 months before he was...

  9. Pointless rants

    I don't come on SZ half as often as I used to. Partly because I'm a conscientious worker, but mainly because we keep having the same tired debates week in week out. So, my rant is this. Which 'rant' topics would you like to see banned from the board? I'll start off with: - We've got no money...
  10. Onion_Bag_Dave

    A rant.

    1. Chanting '****ing Useless to our own player who puts his ****ing heart into his performances, doing what nobody else wants to do, the ****ing dirty work. 2. Cheering when Rhys Evans catches the ball. Brilliant. 3. Constant moaning. 4. Chanting the Seagull louder than anything else. 5...
  11. Tangled up in Blue

    Is fiscal reponsibility the new political correctness on SZ?

    Once upon a time, most posters on SZ were fairly evenly split, between the pro or anti Ron brigades. The pro camp held sway for quite some time, however their position became pretty much untenable(IMO)with the unfolding of events in 2010 (if not before then). I have, however, recently...

    Gary Hooper

    Scored twice today for Celtic and looks like he has fitted in well to the Celtic team. Neil Lennon ran straight to him after the game and gave him a big hug. I'm pleased for the lad. (not for getting a hug)

    I Love Southend And support the CLUB fully...

    hopefully this will be short but i have just had enough of the moaners on here and 606 p.s these are just my views as a loyal blue, business man & a man who knows his football inside out. What happened last season happened was Ron to blame? In my eyes the guy put money into the club trying to...

    Ticket Office vs Gillingham

    I'm not sure if anyone else had problems but I noticed that some did against Port Vale, admittedly I went to the East Stand so can only comment on that particular one, I'm not able to say if the West Stand was poor again so I'll leave you lot to fill me in on that. Basically, instead of...

    Beer rant

    Can anyone say for certainty what the funk is going on with the beer at the hall or when they are actually going to turn the taps back on? Its actually starting to take the ****. I brought a magners before the game that was warm and they had run out of ice , but you get a pint and a half...

    Gambling News

    Poor old skybet Lightning struck twice in successive days for one lucky punter as he netted himself more that £500,000 with two football accumulator bets with betting firm Sky Bet. Incredibly, the gambler wagered only £1,050 overall but was in luck as each of his ten teams delivered in the two...

    Players wages last season

    Sorry if this has been covered before, I try to read as many of the posts that I can, but some will inevitably get missed. There are still constant references to the players last season under-performing because they weren't getting paid and who can afford to work for nothing. But I was under...

    The Cowboys suck donkey balls in hell

    I'm not sure why the NFL thread was closed, but the conspiracy theorist in me believes that YB locked it down before I could refute his Cowpukes fan allegations. Why did they build a hole in the roof at Texas Stadium? So God could have a good old laugh whilst John Riggins ran roughshod over the...

    Football Pundits

    Is it me or are the majority of footy pundits idiots?! Watching England game last week and Andy Townsend was a complete f***in tool! Seriously, i thought Pleat was the worst and now him. Although i really do struggle to watch ITV sport in general. They really are clueless when it comes to...
  20. Ref Watch ...... Aldershot away

    Saturday's referee for our match on a ground we haven't lost at for 26 years, is Graham Horwood from Luton, in his 4th year as a League referee and refereeing his first Southend away game. He has however made four visits to Roots Hall in his short League career and they weren't too bad. The...
