  1. Question Starting XI of Players We Didn't Sign?

    It seems there's been so many 'in talks with' headlines and more publicly named players than I can ever remember as a Southend fan. It may be too soon but I thought I'd do it anyway for a bit of fun. Can we make a starting XI of players we didn't sign? We're good for ST's, not so good for LB's...

    Woman at work 42, in a reasonably strong position career wise and is strong at work, divorced. 'Boyfriend' of 14 years, also divorced. I say bf under advice. Publicly he treats her like dog poo to the extent that people have told him publicly. Privately he has hit her in the past, she has been...

    Diouf

    Blimey is this bloke for real: In his previous autobiography, published in 2007, Gerrard described Diouf as a lazy and self-interested character. "His attitude was all wrong," Gerrard wrote at the time. "I felt he wasn't really a***d about putting his body on the line to get Liverpool back at...

    Can we show what we are made of? Please read.

    Guys, several threads on here relate to finances, umbongo's etc and there are various comments from people to those who they think are close to the club or in the know, asking what the situation is. Look, it's not rocket science and we don't need someone close to the club to tell us. We have...

    Should the club be put up for sale?

    A lot of the current discussion on here surrounds whether or not RM should publicly put the club "up for sale" And I am not talking about him inviting a few mates "from the city" down for a chat. I am talking about it clearly being stated in the media, that our club is available for purchase...

    Has Luggy lost the dressing room?

    After reading several threads about what may or may not be the cause of our recent run of poor results i'll throw this one out there for discussion. PS has in the last few weeks or so been publicly very critical of the players effort/ability in his post match interviews & media releases and...

  13. Question Blame ?

    So will RM ever accept any responsibility for the demise of our club over recent years ? So far he's publicly blamed the following people; The Banks HMRC Paul Brush Steve Tilson Adam Barrett In addition GK made negative remarks about Alex Revell Can anyone point me in the direction of an...
  14. Players, Managers, Mollycoddled? Do they need the Iron Fist?

    Are we being too nice to our players and managers? Are we over pampering them? Maybe this is why we failed so miserably at the World Cup. North Korea may have the answer as to how to deal with our England flops. They punished, and publicly humiliated some of their players, and Coach Kim...

A colleague of mine is helping a friend collate some information on our club&#8217;s season and asked me for input - I had to look at his request 3 times before I could think of anything positive. Our football club&#8217;s chairman of course is always positive...

    Questions For Q & A With Ron Martin

    A thought/suggestion for the forthcoming Q & BS session with RM. As there is a fair chance that RM won't make this easy for us to attend or even make numbers limited, would it not be a good idea to collate questions (serious ones) from SZ'ers for a rep of SZ to ask him. This way we will get...

    England Preview

    WHAT’S THE MAIN FOCUS FOR ENGLAND? Here in the UK, we’re all still stuck in the mire of what has inevitably been dubbed ‘BridgeGate’. You might think that weeks of press speculation, pages of gossip, one sacking, one resignation and one very publicly snubbed handshake would be enough to satiate...
