    Adam Bouzid

    Is this guy the forgotten one!? Just can't see him getting much of a sniff at all this season. I mean, Easton gets injured and we have Bouzid, but instead, we go out and get Timlin in on loan. I'm not berating Timlin at all as i think he's fitted in and done a reasonable job. Is it that Sturrock...

    Manflu

    So I've got a terrible dose of Manflu at the moment *Cough* *Sniff*. Seems to be really doing the rounds lately. It's ****ing horrible. Sore throat, streaming eyes, blocked sinuses, headache, temperature, cough, the lot. Anyone got any medicinal tips on how to make this ******* disappear...

    Beer rant

  4. Memory Lane Pubey's trip down memory lane

    I don’t know why, I guess I’m just getting old, but yesterday I had a real sense of nostalgia. I spent the evening thumbing through our wedding album with Mrs Pubey, a regular pastime, and my eye was drawn to a family who have been ‘family friends’ all my life. They were...

    Food For Thought.

    I've been a bit quiet on here for a while, frankly the whole political arena is depressing. Even so, I've busy doing what I do. I thought I'd share some thoughts.... The Recession The recession was caused, in essence, by the collapse of the banking industry that took a gung-ho approach to...

    Breaking News Fickle Football Fans

    It amazes me just how fickle football fans are, don't get me wrong im probably just as bad. However since Sunday i cannot believe how people are reacting to Ron's latest episode. Ron has used and abused, Staff, Players, Sponsors, Suppliers, Fans and the last straw our Legend of a Manager...

    Women try and smuggle a dead body.

    I had to have a laugh at this story, how can you hope to smuggle a stiff in a wheelchair on board a plane? Apparently the bloke had been dead for 24 hours. Being in Liverpool I'm also surprised his wheelchair still had tyres.

    Your fault Martin, not Brushes!

    Ron Martin singlehandedly ruins a team well capable of staying in this league and then dismisses a bloke whom with Tilly has done us proud over the last few years. How has he got the cheek to use the freshening up cobblers when the main man is still here. Scared stiff to out Tilly so goes for a...

    Awkward moments at work

    Being aroused at work... Has this happened to you? So there we are sitting at the desk drifting after lunch on a cold winter's day as I normally do and I start thinking of smashing 7 shades out of Jennifer Lopez. I naturally get barred up and excited with a little smirk rising and a bulge in...
  10. Will the flood gates open now?????

    Everything that I have read regarding the "debt" owed by the club mentions only the HMRC debt, which is in relation to unpaid VAT. It is inconceivable that this is the ONLY debt the club has, but it IS the only one referred to as being in line for settlement on Friday. So, knowing a little bit...

    'Karaoke Capers'

    I was a bit of a late convert to 'Karaoke Capers.' In the early nineties, I could be seen grimacing and tutting in the corners of various hostelries, muttering about the murdering of The Clash's 'Should I Stay...' by misbegotten meatheads and generally being a bit of a misery when the wannabee...

    If there was a Civil War??

    One of Glasgow’s comments on another thread prompted me to start this one. Imagine that Civil War broke out in the UK and you were put in charge of a unit of 10 men/women. These 10 men/women would be the elite of the elite and all hand chosen by yourself from fellow Zone members. You...
  13. Do we need/want a striker to come in?

    Simple, after Laurent's injury, do we want/need another striker to come in. There's mixed feelings/reports over Jimmy Walker and Barny. Scannell and Freedman are too injury prone and that only leaves us with Revs and Calver (who looks decent, but this moment in time won't get a sniff at this...

    Latest Rumours Brighton sniff round Blues duo.

Anyway got a text from him this morning saying that brighton have put bids in of £300k for Granty and £100k for Francis. My mate's only ever story Southend related which...

Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin and Nurofen is also called Ibuprofen. The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful...

    Gary Hooper-Guardian Scouting report

    Have to admit I liked Hoops as a player for us though I never thought he'd make the grade any higher than League 1 or 2.The valuation here is pretty generous too I feel. <League OneScouting report: Gary Hooper, Scunthorpe United The 20-year-old Iron forward has a good touch and can play at...

    Question Ian Harte?

    Is available and if he was willing to join St Mirren, then surely we could afford his wages - at least till the end of the season? Said in an interview today he is willing to 'play First Division football' - but to be honest, I guess he means Leeds (again), Leicester etc? Still... worth a sniff?
  19. Official Match Thread Leeds v Southend United

    Might as well get this up early.I am going for a massacre or somehow we pull out a miracle with our weakened side and sniff a 2-1 win....that's covered both bases then...:unsure: Don't forget the Zone chatroom tonight for all the latest news and a good laugh.
  20. My Housemate's a Moron, Appropriate Banter Needed

    I'm living in a house down here in Eastbourne with 4 other lads, all students, and as you may expect, the banter tends to fly around. All legit banter, nothing too serious or personal, nothing physical either. One of my Housemates is a bit of a bargain hunter, addicted to those money saving...
