    Football Manager 16

    That time of year again. Game is out on the 13th November but the Beta should be out this week. I seem to be in a pattern of only really playing it a lot every 2 seasons. Was playing a fair amount this year then PC died and lost my save game then never really got into it again. Now we are in...
  3. Question Pb telling his players if they cant hack it ship out?

    I was thinking the same thing, can the players hack it!It seems to me that everytime we get a chance to go top etc we blow it!Are some of these players incapable of accepting the pressure that goes with a promotion challenge,We blown 2 or 3 opportunities now ,how many more are we going to get.I...
  4. Can we break the pattern?

    Looking at some facts and figures from this season and noticed twice we have gone three wins in a row in the league and the fourth has ended up in defeat all be it by one goal to Chesterfield and Dagenham. The last time Portsmouth lost twice in a row in the league was to one goal and also...

    Why Sturrock needs to be our manager next season: preparation time

    Tuesday matches our record is W 6 D 2 L 10 Saturday matches our record is W 13 D 11 L 5 Wednesdays we've won one and drawn one, Fridays (which I might have lumped in with Saturdays) we've won one from one. The significance of these stats is that the longer Sturrock has to prepare the team...
  6. Reality check

    The club is in debt -no news there. Some staff unpaid -no news there. under an embargo -yawn. no news there. Someone produces a spreadsheet showing the level of debt for RM associated businesses and all of a sudden the doom merchants have nigh on convinced me the sky is falling in. The reality...

    The Pub

    Not this on-line pub but "the" English pub. RIP? I guess most of you guys visit the hostelry occasionally. For how long is that going to be possible other than via faceless characterless town centre mega-pubs? There was a programme on the radio last night about locals taking over their own...

    Immigration - Obviously Such a Good Thing for the UK

    Migrant crime wave revealed: Foreign arrests have almost doubled in just THREE years In January 2008, Mike Fuller, then chief constable of Kent, warned that his force was struggling with an ‘immigrant crimewave’. He said surges in migrant numbers had contributed to sharp increases in violent...

    Message to fans

    I have now spent some time since Monday reading the numerous posts on SZ and am dissapointed at how low the morale is on here. By all accounts we have not had a bad seasons, under the circumstances, yet the continuous bad feeling towards the players and PS amazes me. Hate, dislike RM all you...

    Question Police convoys

    My commute this morning was once more rudely interrupted by a police convoy. The convoy consisted of two unmarked, brown, presumably armour-plated vans flanked by two police cars in front and a further two behind, plus some motorbike outriders. The convoy was heading East out of the City. The...
  12. Legalise drugs article.

    Taken from the New Scientist, fascinating article that I totally agree with. I know it's an age old topic on here but it's a slow day. Far from protecting us and our children, the war on drugs is making the world a much more dangerous place. SO FAR this year, about 4000 people have died in...

    SZ Novella - Chapter Five

    Chapter Five - Red Sky At Night, Stokes' Delight Ricey sprinted down the back-alley, feet slipping and sliding on the wet concrete as he went. The sound of a gunshot echoed off the walls and he instinctively ducked, almost falling to the ground. Reaching the end of the passageway, he turned...

    Circles

    For the love of god please can we stop all of this constant circular tirade of hate! 1) Ron ain't gonna sit by and watch his investment go down, unless he's getting some sort of sexual kick out of spunking money up the wall I think if Tilly goes to him and says I like this spritely young lad...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Stan Collymore

    The next man up for election to the Southend United Hall of Fame is Stanley Victor Collymore. I think Stan might be the first man to divide opinion sufficiently to have a few no votes. After all, longevity is one of the criteria and Stan only graced a Southend shirt thirty-three times and...

    Question Target men?

    I love a target man and if I ran a team, I'd always have a big 6ft'er in the attack. Made me wonder why target men dont do well for Southend under Tilly (and no, this isnt another 'Tilly Out' thread!). Paynter, Harrold, Revel, Furlong... I know by their very nature, target men dont get...

    Squad size

    Down to the bare bones on Boxing Day, we win. With an extra two players back from suspension we lose. This pattern is typical of the Tilson years. A small, tight squad where everyone pulls together is the key to success. We won this division with a smaller squad (numbers, not height) than we...
