    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Oliver Trigg

    Oliver Trigg was the man who kicked it all off. Literally. The time was six pm on 25 August 1906. Southend 'A' versus Southend 'B' at Roots Hall, the first practice match, in aid of the Victoria Hospital. Trigg was given the honour of 'kicking off' in his capacity as chairman of The Southend...

    Football Boots

    Guys and girls, I need your help on what football boots I should get next. I'm looking at Adidas Predators as I always wear them. Tried Nike Legends before and didn't like them at all. I've narrowed it down to 2 choices. Please bear in mid, I'm a goalkeeper and the kit I wear it red top, black...

    Paradox

    If God was all powerful then he'd be able to make something so heavy that he couldnt pick it up. If he managed to make it then he couldn't pick it up and he wouldnt be all powerful. If he could pick it up then he wouldnt be able to make something that he couldnt pick up and he isnt all...

    PL Weekly Points Round 36

    Despite there being only match (THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR HILL YOU WITLESS CRETIN !!!) it generated points for everyone, as the only 2 punters who thought that Leicester wouldn't win (OBL and WickfordShrimper) had Matty Fryatt down as first scorer, a task he achieved of course .. and because 60%...

    How to start a fight

    My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on TV?' I said, 'Dust.' And then the fight started... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming...

    Paul Furlong (report from Barnet )

    As I'm at uni in Exeter at the moment and my housemate comes from Barnet, we decided to go to Exeter v Barnet this afternoon. Although I'd rather have been at Roots Hall to see us pick up a valuable 3 points, I was looking forward to the chance to see Paul Furlong in action (along with two...

  8. Chris Dickson

    Not sure if anyone else has picked up on this, but makes interesting read, according to SkySportsNews, he wouldnt rule out a return to Gillingham on loan but would prefer a loan move to league one. Worth a look at maybe?http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_4836307,00.html

    Dating & Marriage - The kids know best

    These Kids are smart!! (written by kids) HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (1) You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. - Alan, age 10 (2) No person really decides...

    Exclusive Interview

    Jeff Stelling interviews the Artist, sometimes known as chadded, often referred to as Biffa, after a stunning win in the Totty Cup. Steve, congratulations on the victory, you must be very pleased. Yea, obviously I'm delighted, it's a great win, and I'm very proud. Going back to the opening...

    He Doesn't Want To Go!

    Have you ever been stood at a bar patiently waiting to be served a drink, only to see everyone else around you get theirs first? Or in a meeting, continually making points that no-one acknowledges? If so, you know what it is to be Kaka this week. The poor boy must be convinced that he's become...

    New Players - Midfield

    Just wondering after Wednesday Night. Do we need to strenghten the centre of the park? Ive said for a while that the likes of Moussa and Grant should be given a chance and in the past few weeks, Grant in particular has looked much better. With Macca and JFC as well i think we look ok in the...

    Wilkins Worried By Wobbles

    After a hard night at Roots Hall, Luis Felipe Scolari was in no mood to face the media. Perhaps he was locked in the dressing room with a blackboard, some chalk and a squad still struggling to understand the concept of zonal marking. Whatever the reason, it was Ray Wilkins who squeezed into the...
  15. Gutted beyond words

    I had to have a job finished by end of the day in Bracknell yesterday and as a result couldn't get to the game. On top of that there was an accident on the M25 and at one point it looked like I wouldn't even get back to see it on TV. A mate accepted my ticket with absolute shock and disbelief...

    Ron Martin on Radio 5Live this morning!!

    Did anyone hear Ron this morning on Radio 5. He is well up for this game. Had a laugh with the presenters on Radio 5. Said that Chelsea wouldnt like coming to Roots Hall because of the atmosphere. He stated that we may not have gold taps and marble floors at the Hall but we can play and the...

    Fellow Shrimpers, lend me your ears (and eyes) for this is a rallying cry beyond the realms of any other before it... In a little under 24 hours, our hero's, proudly wearing the blue we love upon their chests, go into a true David and Goliath battle. In Goliath's corner, we have a squad...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Stan Collymore

    The next man up for election to the Southend United Hall of Fame is Stanley Victor Collymore. I think Stan might be the first man to divide opinion sufficiently to have a few no votes. After all, longevity is one of the criteria and Stan only graced a Southend shirt thirty-three times and...
  19. Jobs you wouldn't take for ANY money

    I like to think that I am up for most things, especially if the financial incentive is large enough, but there are some jobs I wouldn't do if I was offered a million. Like this crane driver's job, for instance:
