  1. Get a Grip!

    Yesterday's performance was dire. I've not been able to make some of the much better games recently so if anyone should be complaining about how rubbish we must be it would be me. What I couldn't understand from some of the fans yesterday and having just seen some of the posts on here is some...
  2. Yorkshire Blue

    RIP Douglas Jardine

    I know he died 50 odd years ago, but he'll be spinning in his grave more than a Murali chuck. Angelo Mathews hit a single out to midwicket and as it was only Graeme Swann, turned to come back for a second run despite the fact it was only ever a run and a half. Mathews then ran into Onions, the...

    Football as a business

    Bear with me but the following are some quotes from the above chapter in Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski's excellent "Why England lose (and other curious football phenomena explained)" which I think has a lot of relevance for SUFC's current situation. "Football is neither big business nor good...

    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...

    My signature

    All the antics down the road last night have reminded me that it's been around a year since I ran the CS Crew in their own back yard, and henceforth high time I changed my signature. I'd like to invite the fine populace of SZ to offer ideas for a new one. A special prize for the suggestion I...

    The single greatest moment in your Blues lifetime?

    What is the single greatest moment in your Blues supporting lifetime? A second when the joy supporting Southend gives you can never be eclippsed. More me personally I think it was Juppys goal. I dont think anything has ever been as significant to me as that moment when he slammed the ball home...

    World Athletics Championships

    Hopefully Jessica Ennis is going to take Gold in the Heptahlon tonight. Usain Bolt is also through to the 100m final, I wonder if he can beat the world record. He ran 9.89 in the semi while slowing down, amazing.

    Another crap bit of UK Justice

    A woman who ran over and killed her fiance after a day drinking has been jailed for three years for causing death by dangerous driving. Caroline Broad, 41, of Padfield Terrace, Twerton, Bath, drove into Christopher Phillips, 40, outside the city's Full Moon pub in August 2008. Bristol Crown...

    Coincidence or something more???

    Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960. Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. Both wives lost their children while living...

    Muslims / left-wing's using violence as their only retort in Birmingham

    http://casualsunited.webs.com/ Disgraceful scenes that hopefully the lefty's won't dispute. And don't try digging up pictures of the non-muslims being violent - I've looked and can't find any. It's a shame that the media don't portray these scum as being "racist" - haven't seen any pictures of...
  11. Spectator in the east stand

    As a steward I usually do the carpark before the game. At the Ipswich friendly and yesterday there was a supporter who on the way in was talking loudly to himself about the downfall of SUFC, and on the way out was talking about Tilly not being the right manager etc etc etc. For the Ipswich game...
  12. Five year anniversary

    All At Sea celebrates five years when it comes out next on August 21 against Millwall. I believe this makes us one of, if not the longest serving fanzine in the club's history - although I could be wrong (I know Roots Hall Roar ran for exactly five years). We're hoping that contributors past...

    Referees Are Cowards

    Another year, another desperate attempt by the Football Association to regain some semblance of control over their sport. This week's announcement that managers will no longer be able to criticise referees before the game has even started is just the latest in a series of inadequate sticking...
  14. Great work Sir Steve

    suddenly we are overwhelmed with reasonable quality defenders - he did tell us that it would get easier as the clock ran down ..... and we have the talent of Sawyer added into the midfield mix and hopefully a fit frontline that might get going this year - bring it on - we can get out of this...

    Installing AVG

Now to be honest i kind of forgot about this (meaning i had no Anti-virus software at all) until the other day when my laptop just...

    Breaking News Revelling In It - 22/7/09

    Revelling In It This week starring: Adam ‘John Rambo’ Barrett Steve ‘living the dream’ Parmenter Dougie ‘YTS’ Freedman Sometimes it’s good to let your hair down (unless you’re Adam Barrett and can’t!) and the last few weeks we’ve had the opportunity to do two things which have certainly bonded...

    Rafa At Boiling Point

    I love this time of the year. It's always mid-July when you first start to feel those tingles of anticipation.. It only ever takes something small to set you off on a glorious meander around the inside of your head, fantasising about the new campaign. The realisation that the first pre-season...
  18. Drewe Broughton

    Watching the egg chasing over the last couple of Saturdays in Crete & met a guy who was a physio/personal trainer. He said he'd been doing close season work for a couple of years with some footballers (loose description I know), one being a Drewe who'd played for MK Dons, near where he lived, &...

    Tilson's rant

    About naming 7 subs next season has got him noticed as it currently on CEEFAX page 310. The downside, of course, is that the ravings of a mad man will drive any potential transfer targets into the arms of our rivals.
