    Interview with an Exile: Part 8 - Libertine

    This week, recently exiled Andy (Libertine), out in Australia, answers the questions. Below is a picture of Andy and his kids at Surfers Paradise. 1) How long have you been an exile? A) Since August this year. My last game was Millwall away and I flew out the following Monday. 2) Why did...
  2. An Apology

    Dear all, Yesterday I became aware that a stupid comment I made a while ago had really offended Numphgirl (Senga) and since then caused her to leave the board. At the time I saw this as usual childish banter and nothing more. No one mentioned anything to me so I was completely oblivious...

    West Sham

    Sometimes in life, when faced with inexplicable stupidity, there is a temptation to assume that perhaps it is you who is being stupid. When Steve McClaren decided to play long-ball to Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney in Russia last year, I briefly toyed with the theory that maybe, with his years of...

    Monday monday

    It did cross my mind, briefly and amusingly, that the stunning defeat on Saturday was all a deliberate ploy by TB&M, to create such a polemic that, come midnight on Monday the 1st of September, no one will have noticed that we have signed no one! So, what are peoples thoughts for tomorrow...

    Faith Schools

    Apparently there is to be a new report out on Monday trying to persuade Ed Balls to get rid of faith schools (including Catholic, CoE as well as Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, and even Greek Orthodox and Seventh Day Adventist). BBC Radio Essex have asked me to briefly speak on their Sunday morning show...

    Smooth Operator: 27 ways to make girls smile.... NOT SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE

    Number 22 makes me laugh... 1. When she asks how she looks, shrug and say "could be better" - this will keep her on her toes. And girls love that. 2. Never hold her hand. This can be interpreted as a sign of weakness, (or if she grabs your hand, squeeze hers really really hard until she...

    Brazilian ‘wonderkid’ to return to The Blues

    You may remember a few months ago we reported on the potential link-up between Brazilian Club Ferroviaro and Southend United FC to allow the Club’s finest youth prospects the opportunity to develop their skills at the Blues. This report also mentioned how one especially talented 13 year old...

    The 8 through the gate. Ron martins pipe dream...

    Not sure what season it was but it was probably under Newman when Ron Martin announced that in order for the club to move foward we needed 8k through the gate every week and get back to championship football. Now at the time we were bottom division had a conveyer belt of cack managers and the...

    Would you take Leon Clarke back?

    This topic has been mentioned briefly in the Vital football rumours website, but I thought I'd find out the opinions of the Zone. RM, ST and PB come to you during the close season and say they have a deal in place to bring Leon Clarke back to the Club for £150,000 to partner Barnard upfront...

    Derby v Arsenal

    There was a point in the proceedings at Pride Park when this odd football match crossed an invisible line between disaster and farce. An Arsenal cross looped into the home penalty area, but drifted a little too far and looked to be heading out of play. Derby's wardrobe-shaped Darren Moore...
  11. Just got back

    To my girlfriend's house in Liverpool. First brief impressions: crap game, unimaginative attempts at playing football with intermittent quick forays forward with no real end result (from both sides). The major news has to be Bailey's headbutt on Macca. Exactly what happened and what blows...

    The fbm report - Walsall

    BLUES GO FOURTH AFTER SADDLERS STROLL Well, stroll might be too strong a word for what on paper was only a 1-0 victory but in reality Southend put on their best and most entertaining performance for many weeks as they totally dominated Walsall at Roots Hall today. The fact that the scoreline...

    Spurs Superior To Baffling Blues

    We all chuckled when Jonathan Woodgate claimed that he joined Tottenham in order to have a chance of winning trophies but, appropriately enough, it was the former Middlesbrough centre-back who delivered the long-suffering club their first silverware in nine years at Wembley Stadium. “Scoring...

    League two - you're supposed to be at home?

    I don't know why I've noticed this but briefly glancing at Hereford's lofty league position I noticed that their away from was absolutely stunning and then I noticed that they weren't alone. Of the top 12 teams in League 2, only three have won more home games than away games and of all 24, only...
