  1. Hands Up Who Paid for That...

    I'll admit it. I paid the full £14 to watch 76 seconds of boxing last night. I was fooled by a Jewish New Yorker who talked a good game, but failed to mark his words with any kind of action. After taking two attempts and a stripping to make the 10 stone weight limit, Dmitriy Salita informed a...

  3. 24 hrs to go!!!!!!!!

    OK - this time tomorrow we will soon be learning of our fate - just another thought on Ron's statement from Friday 'The building blocks are in place' (I'm sure there was no pun intended re FF) - I'm thinking that may have been tactical to give him a stronger hand if he is to sell the club to any...

    Rons Blogg

    Chairman's Blog Firstly before I deal with Q&A there are one or two things to clear up. The first relates to Peter Clarke and an article in today’s Echo. In last week’s blog I set out the position, once again, surrounding Peter but for the record there have been no discussions with Peter...

    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...

    Ron's Blog - 17 March 2009

    Chairman's Blog As highlighted last week, my blogs were initially for a trial period. The first was toward the end of January and this is week 7. Whilst I have spoken openly and freely about a number of topics I do not, as I have already mentioned, know whether I have answered the majority of...

    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...

    Worst job.

    What is the worst job you have ever had? After dropping out of university for a couple of years I managed to spend 18 months working at a sponge factory in Rochford. I had various duties, most of which involved unloading huge sponge blocks from lorries, collecting packaged sponges, J cloths and...

    INBREDS PLAGUED BY DISEASE Colchester United fans are suffering from genetic diseases following years of inbreeding, an investigation has found. A BBC documentary says they are suffering acute problems because incest is emphasised over health when breeding. The programme shows Colchester...
  13. Blue Voice This Season

    Hi, I know this should probably go in the Blue Voice forum but... I'm just about to renew my season ticket and after regularly moving from my seat in the East stand last season I'd like to get a seat in the Blue Voice area this year. Which blocks have been allocated for the BV this season?

    18 + NSFW Tantric s£x!

    I was flicking threw the channels last night and started watching a programme called " sextera on sky. It was basically about things a bit risky, and there was this english guy on there who had been to India and studied "tantric sex". He had regular customers who would visit him and he would...
  16. David Haye

    Did anybody else just watch him completely destroy Macarinelli in roughly 45 seconds? The first round was cagey, but Haye came out of the blocks in the first and tear Enzo apart. Haye becomes the undisputed champion and will now move up to Heavyweight... I'm expecting him to make big waves in a...

    The fbm report - Millwall

    Folks, As I'm not quite sure what time I'll get back tonight in order to post this on the front page, it is not fair to deny fbm his readership - or to deny you his pearls of wisdom - so here is the fbm report for the Millwall game, which will hopefully go up on the front page tonight. * * * *...

    Treatment of Fans last night at Millwall

    I thought that the treatment of fans by the stewards last night was nothing short of a disgrace. We were herded like battery chickens into 2 blocks when it was evident we needed more. Then when they actually did realise this (10 minutes into the game) they opened up the other block and allowed...
  19. Thanks for the brochure - couple of thoughts on fan financing .....

    Terrific job getting the share issue brochure and getting to look at some figures - which mean not a lot to me - but at least its transparent. all credit to Ron and the club for this genuine effort to keep us involved and giving us the chance to give the club some cash .... But there are...
  20. My ratings

    Flavs - Not too much to do. A few easy saves, very good tip over the bar when 0-0 though. Good distribution too. 7 Hunt - Unlucky for their goal, it wasn't an own goal from my view, just a lucky deflection. Defended solidly didn't push on as much as he done recently. 6.5 Barrett/Clarke - The...
