    Question Are we currently better or worse equipped for the Championship than 2005/2006?

    Was talking to a mate about this the other day and trying to decide if we are currently better or worse equipped for the Championship than we were when winning League One in the 2005/2006 season. 2005/2006: Goalkeepers: Darryl Flahavan, Bart Griemink Defenders: Duncan Jupp, Che Wilson, Lewis...

    IT in Schools

    I've ribbing my mates in the ICT Dept as they face the latest Gove initiative criticising the teaching and curriculum of ICT. I wondered what Zoners thought... If you are a recent worker were you adequately equipped, are workers that join you ready to deal with the needs of the work place? Or...

    "Why can't we do a Fulham?"

    An exile put this to me over the week-end and I think it's a good question. My meek reply was this ... I wish I could answer that with some sense of authority, but I'm sure I'd go rambling on about our dear little club simply not being equipped to handle the 'bigtime' and how there is almost...

    Hooper, Kightly, MacDonald, Paynter and Stanislas

    Yesterday, ex-Shrimper Charles Ademeno scored a hat-trick within 5 minutes of being on the pitch. Instantly, his achievement was met with a chorus of 'he didn't do that for us...' posts and it got me thinking, we're quick to criticise Tilly and Brush for letting these guys go but never give them...
  7. The Hand of Frog.

    While you're reading this, Giovanni Trapatoni will be giving his statement to an array of police equipped with notebooks and forensic packs, as one of the greatest robberies of sporting history occurred tonight. No more than three years ago, Thierry Henry lambasted Barcelona for their...
  8. Frustrated

    Tilly will always have my utmost respect for the fantastic job he has done at Southend United, I love the guy - he's a legend. I'd also love to see him stay here for many, many years to come, it would take an awful lot for my feelings to change on that score. However I'm frustrated at the...

    Ireland declares war on France

    The French President is sitting in his office when his telephone rings. "Hallo, Mr. Sarkozy!" a heavily accented voice says. "This is Paddy down at the Hogshead Harp Pub in County Clare, Ireland. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you Frenchies!" "Well, Paddy,"...

    Beware Belarus

    The Fabio Capello roadshow rolls into Minsk tonight with England endeavouring to make it four from four in Belarus. Few could have foreseen such a confident start to the World Cup qualifying campaign but, despite the promising progress, question marks still remain. Firstly there is the...

    Hails- storm!

    Last night Julian Hails popped up in one of my dreams. I can't remember exactly what the dream was about- it was pretty fuzzy and may have involved violence and general unpleasantness. However I do remember pausing for a moment mid-dream and thinking '****ing hell, it's Julian Hails'. In my...

    Was the writing on the wall?

    Being at this distance and not seeing the side regularly (last match home to Leeds), I am probably not best equipped to analyse the end of our season. However, I just have this sneaky feeling that the writing was on the wall in the matches against Tranmere and Port Vale and no one saw it (or...

    A Few Thoughts On The Season Just Gone And Of Next Season

    I have now accepted the fact that we were unfortunatly not good enough to go up this season in what ended up being a very tough league with some decent sides in it i have now started to reflect on the season just gone. Last night was a kick in the nuts and i'm gutted for the players to have...
  14. A simple problem....

    Are the teams in league One this year much stronger than they were in the year that we won the title? Swansea are stronger than they were, same for Forest, and the addition of Leeds means maybe. But not by much. On average, we are playing against much the same quality of opposition as we were...

    Promotion???

    I must be living in a different world to everyone else, because I really don't understand why everyone seems to desperate for us to get promoted back to the Championship this season, when we are clearly not equipped to cope in that division. In fact it is clear to me that we are at the moment...

    The fbm view and ratings - Burnley

    FORAN DRAGS BLUES OUT OF THE MIRE Richie Foran chose the right moment to score his first goal for Southend as his injury time strike won the points against dogged resistance at Roots Hall this evening. In a tough, combative match where much of the football was scrappy and goalmouth action at...

    My 2 cents

    Firstly, the stadium plans.  Well done RM, and in my opinion the plans look absolutely superb.  There is no way anyone can say that it looks crap - it may not look how they might want a ground to look, but it will be clean, futuristic, spacious and worthy of Championship football.  It may be...

    Battered by Doncaster

    Whilest perusing the Football Forum i came across something interesting which appeared in the Yorkshire evening news. Basically Doncaster now have a wage bill of 3mil per year. However the quote that sticks out is the battering they gave us? "When I look at the three teams who went up –...
