    FA Sunday cup- Priory Sports FC

    Thought i'd put a quick post on here as my sunday club are the only Essex side left in the FA sunday cup. This is a great competition and the football is very entertaining. At Priory we have a good few players that have been at Southend Utd at some point in their youth careers. Players people...
  2. Ref Watch ......... Wycombe A

    Our last three matches at Wycombe have gone ... lose ... win ... lose - our turn next ! This refwatch is very much a cut and paste for me as it is the same official we had for the Chester Cup defeat just 5 weeks ago - our last defeat ! Saturday's referee is Graham Horwood from Luton, in his...

    Tribute to Phillip Hughes

    As the sports world comes to terms with the tragic accident that took the life of Phil Hughes, what does the Zone think about suggesting to our club that they change the squad number of Captain John White to 63. Different sport I know, and not even sure it can be done at this stage of the...

    FA cup TV scheduling

    So I looked to see what game the BBC will be showing today and was surprised to see no live games on terrestrial television. I then went to the FA site and it was confirmed that the live games this weekend are: First Round Proper - live ties Friday 7 November – 7.55pm Warrington Town v...

    shrimpers on holiday

    just come back from a very pleasant week in Lanzarote. was in this club watching female impersonators / drag act (which by the way was brilliant) and on the table next to me was not only one BUT TWO Blues supporters. We are taking over the world slowly, very slowly. AND - AND - was playing pool...
  9. SOUTH(port)have signed forward Amadou Bakayoko from Walsall on a one-month loan deal.

    According to Sky Sports we have signed a striker on loan?!
  10. Time Wasting

    First of all , this is not a complaint about Morecambes tactics today. What teams don't waste time away from home when taking the lead ? We do it and so do everyone else , not just in our League , but the world over. Even before today it was clear to me , that this aspect of the game is probably...
  11. Binnom-Williams extends loan till Jan

    Sky sports just reported, good news. Championship and League 1 teams were interested apparently.

    Football Manager 2014 - Phoenix Club Scenario

    Had a mess around with the data editor. Imagine Ronald's dream failed and the club's mounting debts and inability to meet monetary obligations led to liquidation. A new fan-owned phoenix club, AFC Southend United, have been entered into Ryman League Division 1 North. No debts of any kind...

    Players for SUFC who also played other sports

    Yes, Trevor Bailey played for the reserves and Essex. And Anton Otulakowski used to be a gymnast. Any other players who played for us and played a different sport at a decent level?

    I'm guessing SSN, but word is, keep your eyes open this afternoon....I would say a wee birdie said, but that no longer has the same implication on here! :winking:

    A Tough Season Ahead..

    I've just been looking through the Sky Sports web site on the league 2 page looking at who has signed who.. And to me I can see next season being the strongest it's been since we've been down here. A lot of clubs have made some really good signings for this division and imo we really need to...

  20. Cycling

    Starts on Sat with the first three stages in England. I'll be watching the second stage as they come into Sheffield and pass yards from my house. A shame there's no Wiggo this year. I've been reading these interviews with Froome which are interesting - the interviewer doesn't avoid the...
