  1. Style of football under Paul Sturrock?

    With varying degrees of success, we were a nice little passing side under Steve Tilson. Some of the movement of the ball when we were really playing well was a joy to watch.

    Is this the beginning of the destruction......

    Is this the beginning of the destruction of the mould of British politics or is it the beginning of the destruction of the Liberal Democrats? Quite a day yesterday, which ended with probably the only really practical solution on the table. Briefly, hopes were raised on the idea of some...

    The 60k loan

    <Introduction - Good News Anyone ? 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.

    Has it not occured to anyone..........

    A number of people have questioned where the £2.1 million has come from and some have also questioned how RM seems to have been able to find the full amount outstanding to HMRC when just a few days ago he couldn't find just 1/3 of that figure. Well, consider this scenario if you will. Perhaps...

    A little bit of history repeating itself perhaps? Div 3(S) No. 10 Saturday 6th October 1923 SOUTHEND UNITED 0-0 MILLWALL Millwall came to the Kursaal with very negative hard aggressive tactics, trying to spoil the game and they succeeded in so far as they gained a point, but in the 1920s...

    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...

    Question What are you reading?

    Perhaps not quite as Facebook friendly as what music are you listening to but I imagine a few Zoners might be interested to know what their fellow Shrimpers are currently reading. To get the ball rolling I'm presently enjoying Ian Sinclair's mammoth "Hackney,That Rose-Red Empire". It's an...
  17. BW rubbish

    Once again BW has spoilt the day. The commentary started breaking up all the time and is now on a permanent loop. I have had enough.

  18. Oh dear oh dear

    I see my thread has been moved and tacked on to the end of another. My thread was not essentially about a postponement that happened days ago but the subsequent response from Geoffrey King.
