    Spain Pacify Iraqi Resistance

    Spain 1-0 Iraq Villa 55 The trouble with winning well is that it never goes unnoticed. For every barnstorming 5-0 victory, resplendent with glorious passing and breathtaking goals, there's always a coach out there somewhere who watches it and thinks, 'that's not going to happen to me.' More...

    Job Done

    Manchester United 0-0 Arsenal Sir Alex Ferguson stepped lightly across the slick Old Trafford turf, turning slowly and taking in the view as if it was his first ever visit to the stadium. With eyes full of awe and a broad grin splashed across his face, he let out a long, sigh of satisfaction...

    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...
  6. Rons Blog 07.04.09

    Firstly let me apologise for last week’s “void”. It was my intention to answer the questions raised over a period of two to three weeks and at the end of that period to review whether supporters generally thought it was a good idea to continue with a blog – be it weekly, fortnightly or not at...

    SZ Novella - Chapter Six

    Chapter Six - South Of The ShrimperZone? At This Time Of Night? Ricey edged away from Stokes, carefully keeping his eyes shielded from the Red Tube. As tempting as it was to allow himself to wallow in the intense glow of some very, very naughty thoughts, he knew from...well...erm, first hand...

    Question Is Laurent much cop?

    When I first saw Laurent I thoughy he was immense. A goal almost everytime he touched it seemed like a reasonable return from our French chum. However as the weeks have rolled on I am less and less impressed by him. My main issues are. * Big man who never wins any headers. * Goes down to...

    Rons Blog 12/3/09

    No-one seems to have put it up! So here it is... Last week I touched on the backroom staff at the Club. That is not of course the backroom staff that support the football management but what I would describe as the “engine room” of the Club. I say that because I know whilst all fans will...

    Officials and Stewards.

    The result last night didn’t bother me too much because we created enough chances and on another night we could of won 4-1. If there are any zoners who referee at some level, I would like to hear your views on this. But what is really beginning to get to me is the standard of officiating in...

    Spending cash could save us cash...

    Now i know that i have touched on this in a previous thread , but i do genuinely believe that by spending cash and replacing players that were sold this season we would have ultimately saved cash. Last night and saturday were good gauges of that. We have had consecutive 6500 attendances. Lets...

    A Sensitive Man

    A woman meets a man in a bar. They talk; they connect; they end up leaving together. They get back to his place, and as he shows her around his apartment she notices that one wall of his bedroom is completely filled with soft, sweet, cuddly teddy bears. There are three shelves in the...

    Paul Furlong (report from Barnet )

    As I'm at uni in Exeter at the moment and my housemate comes from Barnet, we decided to go to Exeter v Barnet this afternoon. Although I'd rather have been at Roots Hall to see us pick up a valuable 3 points, I was looking forward to the chance to see Paul Furlong in action (along with two...

    Older fans in football

    Just got back from Orient, not a great match but a brilliant moment at the end. But it was the celebrations that made me smile the most. Now I will start by saying I generally stereotype older sections of our fanbase to be somewhat more subdued than other, younger, areas. This is of course not...

    Dodgy line of questioning in Abu Dhabi

    Interviewer : "Tell us, you touched a lot of kids over here?" Federer : "Yeah, it's always great to play with kids and see their excitment." Fair enough it's not Federer's first language but what excuse for the interviewer!! Not much to say on the match. Murray won but didn't really...

    Call Sam!

    It must be hard being Sam Allardyce. Whenever I imagine him, I see him in a big country house in the north of England, in a well-furnished front room where the only noise is the metronomic ticking of a towering grandfather clock in the corner. He sits alone in his armchair, surrounded by...
