    Reserves draw 0-0.

    The updates came via me, if anyone was wondering. Same old faces watching the game and like i said to BB at half time, i really hope Tilly is going to be dipping into the loan market. Shorty had nowt to do. Cant really remember a save that he had to make. They hit the post with their only real...

    Forest scouting report v. Tranmere

    I thought I’d post on here because, for reasons that I don’t need to bore you with, I went to see Forest v. Tranmere and so I thought that I’d report back, albeit not being the most ‘football minded’ as some of you (to quote MK Shrimper). That might mean that my...

    Anyone who is currently serving and has served in the past should be able to identify with many of these certain 'traits'; sadly I do! You know you've been Defence institutionalised (made military) when... You use target indication to point out hot chicks. You use the term 'chicks' You...

    Kit question - Umbro

    Probably one for our Glasgow-based Kit Professor, but I'll open this up to the floor.... How come so many teams this year have Umbro kits? Umbro used to do loads but have been slowly edged out of the market over the years. When Celtic and Chelsea dumped them, I think that left Everton as about...

    The fbm view and ratings - Derby

    BLUES SUCCUMB TO HOWARDS WAY It was another point-less afternoon for Southend at the Hall as Derby went clear at the top of the Championship after doing the double over the bottom side. The main difference between the teams was Rams front man and ex-Luton striker Steve Howard. He did the...

    The view from Tufnell Park...

    My neighbours will never speak to me again. When I awoke on Wednesday morning to find my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth and an empty bottle of white wine in my bed, I was dimly aware that something incredible might have happened. It took another 30 seconds for the memories to filter back...
  11. It's Barnsley

    Barnsley win 4-3 on penalties, pretty even game overall. Swansea arguably edged the game, particularly in extra time, but we're off to Oakwell, not the Liberty, next season.

    The fbm view and ratings

    NICE SCORE, SHAME ABOUT THE GAME Southend returned to the top of league one tonight after a professional but spluttering display against a team surely destined for league 2 if not extinction. The three points were, to be honest, courtesy of a first half mugging and Rotherhams total ineptitude...

    Back from Bradford

    Wow! One word that seemed to sum up the night - from arriving in Bradford at 645pm to be greeted by the fantastic Valley Parade stadium, to the final whistle, realising we had pulled off a great result. I have read the guy from Bradford's report and I dont feel that is accurate (why...

    We went into the valleys and slayed the giants

    Wow, as the hangover has lifted it has finally sunk in that we bloody did it! Although I always followed the Blues fortunes since childhood I didn't really see many games, even when I started work at 17. I actually started to goto to every home game from the middle of 98/99 onwards so...

    Worst SUFC Div 3 Team Seasons (97-05)

    This subject came up between myself and Proud Shrimper aka Slackman a couple of months ago. The conversation about bad footballers came up as funnily enough a team called Chester who claimed to be a football side were playing us. Who would you list as your worst all time div 3 XI That be from...

    ...is the main SZ report.  But I've posted it here anyway in case there are problems or delays in getting it up. A shape of things to come as Blues tied in Notts All of a sudden, people have begun to notice Southend and there have been some very decent and complimentary comments made about...
