    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame 7th Round Nominations

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame (courtesy of Yorkshire Blue) 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...
  2. There may be trouble ahead...

    Oh dear, oh dear.... On that showing, relegation is a real possibility. Totally clueless, ineffective and downright sh*t. The problems, well, where to start? Firstly - Long ball football; Reality hit home today. Hard. Under Tilly we constantly tried to get the ball down and play football...
  3. Ticket office fiasco

    Well I arrived at the ground at just before half past two and made my way to the ticket office to be greeted by a fairly long queue. No worries I thought lots of time before kick off. How wrong could I have been. 45 minutes later and I've just got in. They had run out of paper tickets so had...

    Lewis Emaneul

    Played a friendly on trial for us exactly 2 years ago. He instead re-signed for Luton on 31 July 2009, stating he had "unfinished business to attend to". However, a broken toe sustained in the opening day of the season left Emanuel out of action for over three months. His return in December...

    Memory Lane Things that used to be there but now are not.

    Always fascinates me when i see old pictures and think to myself " oh yeah i forgot that used to be there" So i wondered what used to be there instead. I'll give an example. The Halfords in westcliff used to be a cinema. The homebase and curry's etc just as you come into town on the london...

    Tax for a 2nd job

    I'm working a second job over the summer and I've just tried to phone those lovely people at HMRC to find out how much tax I'd have to pay over the summer. All the lines were full up (surprisingly) and instead of putting me on hold, they cut the phone off. Does anyone know how much tax I'd...
  9. Justin Hazell

    One of the youth team I believe. The article says he was offered a contract by us (presumably one of the ones offered a year development contract) but has decided to join Braintree instead. http://www.footballconference.co.uk/news/news_article.asp?id=3485

    Thoughts before next season!

    Its not often that I dont sleep at night but last night instead of slipping into a coma I found myself thinking about the start of next season. Normally I am filled with a tinge of optimism and excitement with regards to how we will do and are our new signings going to mirror "Ronaldo" or...

    England 1-1 USA

    Ok time for your reports and ratings. I thought is was a very lacklustre performance by England first game or not..To me far to many people thought the ball was a hot potato and did not want it enough. At times even at throw ins players did not move or show any interest in wanting the ball. It...
  12. Who's Going Home In An FA Sponsored Aston?

    With just 90 minutes of football seperating the thirty prospective England internationals from South Africa, which seven unfortunate players will find themselves on stand-by? Michael Carrick: Unfortunately for the Manchester United midfielder, England have a relative embarrassment of riches in...
  13. Thrills, Spills and Unpaid Bills - The League One Review Part Two

    Ok, here's the second part to my review of the League One season. Apologies for the delay, have been busy this past week. Brighton Quite how Brighton finished as high as 13th should pay great testament to the work of Gus Poyet since his arrival. Having narrowly avoided the drop last time out...

    England Flatter To Deceive

    NOTHING FOR ENGLAND TO SHOUT ABOUT Forget about the result, this was not a good night for England. Fabio Capello has much to ponder before he makes his final squad selection for the World Cup. A 3-1 victory over a side of Mexico’s quality is a fine result on paper, but the performance that went...

    KFC double down burger.

    KFC double down burger. Is this an exciting new paradigm in fast food or corporate irresponsibility? Let's be honest - who here hasn't made a sandwich using meat instead of bread?

    Harry Crawford - Ireland Under 18s?

    I was pleased to see a few weeks ago that young Harry had been called up to Rep of Ireland under 18s for a couple of friendlies this week. The story was on the OS here: http://www.southendunited.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10444~2036472,00.html I went onto the FAI website to check for more details...

    Youth Pulls 0805
