    FC - Match 3

    Me 1st at home to 4th in a match where I should win especially with almost all at sublime. Gone with 4 bowlers and could add a 5th in-game if needed. Weather is confusing me. On my dusty I have Sunny followed by 2 days of partly cloudy & humid. Would you bat or bowl ?

    Liverpool Are Doomed - With Or Without Rafa

    Rafa Benitez deserves to be sacked. He’s had six years, hundreds of millions of pounds and Liverpool are worse off now than they were under Gerard Houllier. But if George Gillett and Tom Hicks think that his demise will make any difference to their stricken football club, they are very much...

    First post....for a year!

    Just checked out my stats and realised that I haven't made a post for a whole year! I guess this partly comes from the fact that I live in Japan and haven't seen Southend play for what seems like forever. Think I last watched a game over Christmas/New Year 2006/7. Can't have been very good as I...

    Do you mates "disappear" when loved up?

    This is something that proper dawned on me on Saturday night. I was invited to Sky Bar in Bas Vegas, for beers and stupid dancing by two girls who I hadn't seen in 3 months, partly because one of them is loved up. I originally didn't want to go with just two girls as I didn't have a wingman...
  6. Sawyer, Hunt and Harrold

    Went to see Darlington v Wycombe last night with 3 ex-Shrimpers involved on the pitch. Sawyer and Hunt started and Harrold was on the bench. At first Sawyer looked like a boy amongst men - almost literally given the height of many of the other players involved. But he got more and more involved...

    Five From Five

    England 2-1 Ukraine Crouch, 29 Shevchenko, 74 Terry, 85 It was his strongest display of emotion so far. As the final whistle blew, Fabio Capello marched out of his technical area, raised his clenched fists to the sky and roared triumphantly. This was a far more impressive scoreline than it...

    Charlie Mulgrew

    My laddo and I had the pleasure of watching Heart of Midlothian v Aberdeen last weekend. I can safely say it was the best game we've seen all season. Crunching tackles, superb goals, and both teams going for it. Terrific stuff from beginning to end. The first half an hour was all Aberdeen...
  9. Henry Winter a man after my own heart

    In the Daily telegraph today he writes an article about Chelsea and in particular Drogba but the end of the article made me this cold, dark, wet Friday proud to be a Shrimper ''If Scolari was hailed as the main winner at Roots Hall, then the FA will be feeling similarly pleased after a...

    Question Star Wars: The Musical?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7779011.stm In ways... I get it? Iconic film, partly down to its great soundtrack. But.... £30-100 a ticket... REALLY?!??!??!? George Lucas must now be able to bail out the entire worlds banking system single-handedly?

    Rusty Shackleford's X-Files

    I'm not saying who I used to be on here, but I used to write a weekly column that was partly political. I am hoping that this will be the beginning of a new weekly column, if you playas are feelin' it. In my previous life on SZ, I offended a few people by being deliberately obnoxious. I...

    This is a vital season for Arsenal

    At this time of year, particularly in the UK, it's not unusual to be struck down by the post-holiday blues. Everywhere you look you can see the sad, sun-tanned faces of those who have let their problems ebb away on a hot beach, only to return home to the sickening blow of normality. For some...

    Messi

    Having watched the game tonight, i have to admit that Messi was absolutely outstanding and totally outshone Ronaldo who was very ordinary i thought. His ease at the way that he beats others was fantastic, and influenced the game for Barca in a way that Ronaldo has not done before on this stage...
  14. B.A.G.’s Partly Political Broadcast

    ‘It’s all About the Oil’ Since I began posting on this board, you, my fellow Zoners may have noticed that I am a contrary fellow who relishes a good argument. I’m not sure if I was made this way, but I do know that there were three years of my life that were pivotal in my development as an...
  15. No luck with Glato tickets? Try this

    Me and a few friends have decided to give Glato a miss for the first time since 99. Partly to have a year off, and partly because of the line-up and for a change. I know it's in Belgium, but right now, with flights, travel and ticket it is costing me just as much as a Glasto ticket. For anyone...

    Liptak, Walker, Barnard and Hooper

    Had the good fortune to run into Tilly and Brush at last night's Daggers game. Great blokes the pair of them, and they were more than happy to have a chat. I don't think anything they said was told to me in confidence, so I'm happy to share... On Gary Hooper... T&B were at Dagenham to see him...
  17. Leon to Leeds?

    Latest rumour to popularise is that the Morgan to Leeds deal fell through partly because Leeds will be talking to Leon this week... Not sure what to think really, If Tilson is questioning Leon's commitment then he's really not worth the risk. We've had this before with Ricketts and it had a...

    "SUFC Ladies"

    Hey everyone its Steph, sorry, but im back because I could not understand why this "SUFC Ladies" person was saying a load of rubbish about Southend United Ladies. Here's to put things straight: Whoever that person was, was not a rep of our club, Nina Drew is the ladies rep We did not play...
  19. Festive Refwatch ....

    The officials dishing out festive cards are as follows: Saturday. Phil Joslin. Experienced, short, irritatingly fussy at times; does not scrimp on the cards. Last visit to the Hall was the home defeat by Hull last season (sent one of theirs off). Previous Southend game was the 2-2 draw at...
