    Crisis Time, But Don't Sack Rafa

    Forget the Champions League. Forget the Europa League. Forget the FA Cup. For Liverpool, nothing now is more important than the Premier League. The very future of the football club depends on where they finish in the table in May. The crass stupidity of the leveraged buy-out that gave control...
  2. Car Insurance

    Starting to think about getting my own wheels. I've been a named driver on my mums car and my fiancees car, and it's never really made a big difference to their premiums. I'm 25, had license for 7 years. got 3 points 3 years ago, had 1 accident 3 years ago (other parties fault), I want to put...
  3. Interesting Read

    My club, Southend United, has been in the public eye for all the wrong reasons lately what with the possibility of administration. My question is how much does the manager of a club know about the financial goings on at a club and how much would that affect their choice to stay at a club? Matt...
  4. Ref Watch ... Yeovil away

    After a very satisfactory performance from Rob Shoebridge on Saturday (if not from the players) what does next Saturday bring? Yeovil has often been the venue for very poor refereeing performances as far as Southend are concerned. But despite that we have won our last three away League matches...

    Support Tonight

    Tonight is one of the biggest nights in the clubs history. Chelsea and Man Utd will get more attention when you flick back through the history books in 50 years time but Gillingham at Roots Hall is far more important to the future of our club. Think of all the wonderful memories you have of...
  6. You've got to hand it to him

    I've never met the man, so haven't seen his skills first hand, but you've got to hand it to him. Ron Martin must have incredibly slick PR skills. He seems to be like teflon. Whenever there is something bad to face, either someone else is put forward to take the flak or he somehow wins people...

    Hang on a minute... (rose tinted post alert)

    Look, rule 1 in business is always try and use someone else's money rather than your own. By deferring the tax bill, especially as HMRC charge interest on unpaid tax currently at 0% (or very close to it) it becomes a very cheap loan. I genuinely believe that RM was hoping to defer and defer...

    Question I think administration maybe my fault

    After receiving a phone call from SUFC last night trying to get me to join the Blues lottery for £2 per month i told them i wasn't interested. Do you think this forced HMRC to apply to put us into administration. I feel terrible :puke Poll added for accuracy and comments welcome

    PS3 or Xbox 360? Help!!

    Good people of SZ, please help me out of my quandry... Now, I am not a massive gamer, hence my need to pose this question in the first place. But, I now found myself needing a games console to waste a few hours during the cold winter months etc. I also have a 4 year old lad, who I'm sure would...

    Gillett - The Worst A Club Can Get

    There was something entirely predictable about the news that George Gillett has already begun to apportion blame for Liverpool's poor start to the season. Speaking to supporters before September's crushing 6-1 victory over Hull, their fourth league win on the bounce, the American announced, "If...
  11. the reason its all gone pear shaped .....

    Roy O Donavan not his fault probably a decent guy but can't play football at this level at the moment - so we have only 10 men - and to help him out we try and knock forward for flick ons for his pace = get rid - send him back - he is destroying the team, Barnards game and our season =

    Wenger's Bar

    I'm afraid I won't be writing a column this week, or indeed ever again. Yep, I'm hanging up my presspass and shutting my laptop for the final time. I'm off to France, you see. Arsene Wenger's assertion that he learned everything he needed to know about football in a pub gave me food for thought...
  13. Question Is Southend screwed?

    I was wondering if the rumour are true that southend are screwed now? What going to happen with the Stadium? ? Who is the fault of this? Shall we get rid of Geoffery King and Ron Martin? Will there be anyone who is interested to take over? I hope someone from Middle East will take over like...

    A Massive Plea...

    Ladies and Gents, - i plead, and hope others will, not to get on Tilson's back, and also.. let's still give him a chance - He has earned our faith for a little longer yet, i'm concerned the current going's on will make people get on the Lad's back. It's not their's or Tilly's fault.. This is...

    Ode to a lost Revell

    There was a lad named Revell He rarely troubled the net, But when the club said he could go He became our best goal threat. Geoff King came out and said his piece "Expectations were not matched He didn't score, he never did. That's why he was dispatched." ShrimperZone went on alert, Everyone...

    An oldie reworked...

    The Southend Manager flies to Baghdad to watch a young Iraqi play football and is suitably impressed and arranges for him to come over to Southend He's signed to a one-year contract and the kid joins the team for the pre-season. Two weeks later Southend are down by 5 goals to Millwall with...

    Breaking News Revelling In It - 22/7/09

    Revelling In It This week starring: Adam ‘John Rambo’ Barrett Steve ‘living the dream’ Parmenter Dougie ‘YTS’ Freedman Sometimes it’s good to let your hair down (unless you’re Adam Barrett and can’t!) and the last few weeks we’ve had the opportunity to do two things which have certainly bonded...

    Dead laptop

    Can any of the IT experts on here offer me an opinion on what to do with my dead laptop please? Typically, I've been saying for weeks I MUST backup the photos/music etc onto a separate storage drive & I was going to do it yesterday (honestly!!!) but at about 6ish on Saturday night my Dell...

    Dear Andorra

    Now, on the off chance that someone from Andorra is holidaying in Singapore and is reading this article, let me make it clear that I have nothing against your country. I've never met an Andorran, which is hardly surprising as I believe there are only about 30 of you in existence, but I'm sure...
