    Lead article on back page re planned protest

    So Chris Phillips leads with another impressive piece about "Furious Fans Plan Protest", coupled with some very eloquent letters from supporters (recognise a few names from on here :whistling:). Come on, time people gave him some credit - he's listening to us here and making sure the Club know...

    Street Crime UK: Southend v Derby 1994

    Was watching the TV show Street Crime UK earlier on Bravo and one of the reports was on the trouble after the game against Derby at Roots hall in 1994. I was only 4 at the time but still I've never heard anything about this. Seemed rather nasty. What was funny was seeing some familiar faces...

    Lippi Should Have Stayed On The Beach

    Brazil 3-0 Italy Fabiano 37,43 Dossena 45 (og) There are certain times in life when it's actually ok to quit. Howard Wilkinson discovered this in 1992 after winning the title with Leeds United. In an uncharacteristically honest interview, the man who turned a struggling second flight side into...
  5. Clarkey, Dorian and Theo

    I recognise how important it is to let Clarkey know on Saturday how much we want him to stay and I hope we do our utmost to show him that. However I hope we also give Dorian and Theo rousing send-offs to show our appreciation for what they have given us since the turn of the year. No matter how...

    Champions League Reports

    Apologies, I've been rushed off my feet this week. Here's both games for you. Is it so inconceivable that Arsenal could end this strangest of seasons as Champions of Europe? Arsene Wenger described his side as 'super-outsiders' before the first leg of their clash with Villarreal, but even after...

    SZ Novella - Chapter Four

    Chapter Four - We Fade To Grays "Old Blue Lady," grinned Shackleford as she approached the table, holding Ricey carefully by the earlobe. "You came." Old Blue Lady lowered her squirming guest gently onto a barstool and stepped away, leaving him clutching his ear in annoyance and glaring up at...

    It's Just like watching Southend...

    ...Sorry to moan but tonight was nothing short of being Dreadfull. It reminded me of the pre-Tilson years when we were down in the doldrums of the bottom division and flirted with mid-table at best year after year. Some of the player's are simply not good enough. Our Midfield tried to...

    Hypocrites - the lot of 'em

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/feb/07/religion.politics http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7882953.stm Where is the consistency ? Only in that both individuals were barred from entering the UK. Otherwise both sides of the argument have changed tact when it comes to wanting the man...

    Rusty Shackleford's X-Files: SUFC Special

    I thought I would depart from the normal RSXF theme of carl, steveo and I arguing with all the Godless lefties and discuss something which really doesn’t belong in the Pub section – my view on the current state of Southend United, both on and off the field. Steve Tilson has presided over one...

    My Take

    on matters at the club are as follows: RM is and always will be a developer. Developers are in business for the sole reason of making serious money on land opportunities - hence this is the only reason he purchased the club. Is this a bad thing? well not necessarily. I for one believe we...

    Memory Lane SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - - Sid Broomfield has passed away RIP Sid

    When I suggested we should have on SZ a Hall of Fame to recognise the true legends of Southend United, I wanted us to recognised those individuals who helped build the club. In Sid Broomfield's case he did this literally. Sid Broomfield might not be the most famous name in Southend United's...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - 1st round of nominations

    For a bit of fun and to honour our club's history, I propose starting a SZ Hall of Fame to recognise the true legends of Southend United. The words legend and great are bandied about a bit too often for my liking, I'd like our Hall of Fame to be exclusive and so that only the elite make it. It...

    Terry's Touch Of Class

    If there were any question marks still lingering over John Terry's suitability to captain England, they were blown away in Berlin with a moment of grace and humility that is all too rare in a game poisoned by money and egos. Terry could have explained away Germany's comical equaliser by blaming...

    Why The Laughter Has To Stop

    It's very rare that you can brutally assess and pass judgement on a football club, as this column did with Tottenham Hotspur two weeks ago, and still be able to come back one match later with plenty of new material. Tottenham, though, are a glorious curiosity for the neutral, but an excuse to...
  17. Zone Update Revelling In It...

    I’d like to start this week’s column by talking about something I witnessed last week. Picture this, you’re new to the Club, you know only one person there and you’re due to attend your first training session since joining. Banter is always rife at Clubs like Southend so you want to arrive...

    Does anybody recognise this? My dad used to be in it years ago, and erghh he won't be shut up about it... So many stories, Just wondered if anybody recognised the name or maybe was part of it? :)

    League one play-off's

    It would have been impossible for the ticket office staff to recognise them when they arrived. Clad in red and white scarves and speaking in broad Yorkshire accents, the Leeds United supporters who had failed to secure Wembley tickets in their half of the stadium surreptiously crept down the...
