    2010 season

    Ah, spring training. The sound of rubber or cork wrapped in yarn and covered with leather thumping into leather mitts or the rifle crack of corked ash. Ahhh. There is something magical about the phrase "pitchers and catchers report". It sounds so innocent but at the same time so alluring. I'm...

    I Love Southend United

    I love our Blue Boys. Still not paid yet they come out after a bad run of results and a 94th minute loser against Norwich and show pride, bottle and commitment and a willingness to wear the shirt of Southend. That is what you want as a supporter! When you turn up as a fan you want to see 100%...

    African Aid

    Let me say first that I am NOT talking about emergency aid to Haiti just our ongoing aid to Africa and our percentage of GDP we pledge to send to Africa - the question is do you think the issues in this country i.e crime transport health and education and also not to mention our own debt as a...

    The"promised land":A Holy Grail Poll

    In his latest blog the Chairman warned us imperiously in a Churchillian turn of phrase that he "would not be distracted by the detracters." He also stated that he knew where he was taking us and that was to the "promised land." The quest for the Holy Grail would seem to be very much on(again)...

Here we are again... 2 days before the end of the club, we're going into administration, the clubs been mismanaged, what a load of bloody tripe that comes from the mouths of some (and not who you might think I mean)... Jesus we all love to react don't...

    Tilson on Player

    Just watching Tilsons interview; * Revs wasnt 'top of the list' to go out. * Name was circulated a few weeks back as agreed he would benefit a month away (not against this personally). * Tilson confirms it WAS financial reasons (goes against King - total proof) - says needs to get "1 or 2...

    Cover Letter

    Thought that in my time of need I would use the accumulated wisdom of the zone to seek the answer. So I don't have school for the next three months, yet my current assets of Quantum Of Solace for the Wii (Admittedly I cane everyone online at it :)) and about £0.03p isn't going to see me through...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Paul Clark

    The Viking That alone might be enough words for many on here to vote yes to Paul Clark, but if you weren't fortunate enough to have witnessed his crunching tackles and never say die attitude, I suppose I should give a lengthier bio. The first local player up for election, Clark was born in...

    When Title Races Go Bad

    Two weeks ago, Manchester United were seven points ahead of Liverpool with a game in hand and the title race appeared to be over. Now, with United losing back-to-back league games, the gap has been slashed to just a single point. Can Liverpool maintain their momentum and romp home to an unlikely...
  13. New Stadium - Will it happen?

    Despite Ron Martins comments about the echo wrongly saying the new stadium has been 'delayed' there is no doubt that it is proving difficult to get the funding and construction seems to be a long way off. A lot of fans I speak to remain sceptical and the most common phrase about the new ground...

    Do we actually want to beat Chelsea?

    This may sound a controversial, or even heretical suggestion, but with recent history in mind, is it really better for us to beat Chelsea next month? Consider the hangover, or one might say, long-term illness, that we caught following knocking Man U out of the Carling Cup. If we were to repeat...

    They Haunted the Os:

    #2 - Richard Cadette When we take an Orient retrospective from the early to late 1980s you can't help but be overcome with a sense of complete and utter misery. While the nation was tearing itself apart over the miner'sstrike the dear old Os were busy getting themselves relegated to Division...

    Chelsea are back.

    It's time for the world to sit up and pay attention because not only are Chelsea are back, but they're better and more beautiful than I've ever seen them before. On the evidence of this overwhelmingly sexy opening day victory, it seems that The New Paper wasn't the only organisation to get a...

    Tuesday Jokes

    A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, 'Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, But they only know how to say one thing.' 'What do they say?' the priest inquired. They say, 'Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?' That's obscene!' the priest exclaimed...

    Sunburn!

    Had a rare day off yesterday and was cajouled into watching my daughter play netball in a tornamount. Normally, this is the wifes area but as the beloved was having her hair done, I stepped into the breach as it was and found myself running along the line, baying instructions to my unimpressed...

    Interesting random Facts

    Slow day for me at work and just got this email -Interesting Facts In the 1400's a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have 'the rule of thumb' ------------------------------------------- Many years ago in...
