    Referees Are Cowards

    Another year, another desperate attempt by the Football Association to regain some semblance of control over their sport. This week's announcement that managers will no longer be able to criticise referees before the game has even started is just the latest in a series of inadequate sticking...

    Glad to be back at work.... Or not.

    As a very laid back kind of chap, it does take quite a lot to rile me, but today has been one of those days… :punch: After five long months of signing on, I landed myself a job as a Rent Officer for a Housing Association, not ideal, but better than scabbing pints from my friends :) I attended...

    Released Players, Possible Transfer Targets?

    This is the time of year that every player that is released from every Club gets its own thread on here saying his worth a look, sign him up etc etc. So I thought it would be best that the players that are being released, that wouldn't be bad shouts, was all put in one place. One that I will...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Ricky Otto

    Next up for election to the Hall of Fame is Ricky Otto. Ricky Otto had it all: skill, flair and funny looking hair. He was signed by B****y F*y for £100,000, a fee that seems suspiciously high for a Leyton Orient reserve. I won't make any libellous suggestions about brown envelopes...

  6. Freedman Overated

    simple. dougie is overrated. despite the odd flick and occasional through ball he does not do a lot. fair enough, nice pass to set up betsy and scored a nice goal 2 weeks ago, but he is simply past it. no commitment, no passion. a true lazy player, yet he is one of the top wage earners at the...

    Magical Modric

    Spread the word, Luka Modric has arrived. After six months of being kicked off the ball, stamped into the mud and having his pocket money stolen by the bigger boys, the little Croatian wizard has finally put in a performance worthy of his reputation. He tore Stoke City apart at White Hart Lane...

    Rafa's Ridiculous Rant

    Eagle-eyed readers will know that I had Liverpool to beat Stoke 3-0 in my weekend predictions, a bold but fair shout given the collapse in form from Tony Pulis' side. What you won't know is that just three hours after filing that article, I was sat on my sofa watching Rafa Benitez's press...

    Joke time

    A history teacher asks a class full of kids "What was Churchill famous for?" A kid at the back shouts out "He was the last f**king white man to be called Winston!" A bride on her wedding night says to her husband "I must confess darling, I was a hooker!". He says "That's alright, dear. Your...

    The Spurs jokes thread!

    Come on, must be a few around by now! Here's one: A man is sat in a pub with his loyal dog by his side watching his beloved Spurs on the big screen. As the final whistle blows and Spurs have lost yet again, the dog stands up on his hind legs and shouts "BOLLOCKS" at the top of his voice. A man...

    Kinnear Kickstarts Shola Show

    Could it be that Mike Ashley has actually made a sensible decision? The man whose baffling policies have crippled Newcastle United in little over a year doesn't get much right, but in the recruitment of Joe Kinnear, of all people, he might allow himself a smile. The forgotten man of English...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Crewe 3 Southend United 4

    Two goals from new-signing Dougie Freedman bring the points back to Roots Hall. After an early scare at the other end, Dougie nets his first before the score is doubled through an own goal, this time following a cross from Francis on the right. A deflected goal then brings the home side back...

    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...

    What happened to Metal Mondays?
