  1. The 'Requirement Policy' Now - Your Thoughts

    This is my first thread post, so be kind people. Towards the end of last season we were told by Phil Brown ‘I want to have my transfers done early’ and there were mentions of a requirement policy which we as supporters discussed quite heavily. I’m not saying it’s a...

    Formations and the perpetual 442 discussion

    Interesting comment from Brown 642747338931478528 So that opens up the debate about 442 yet again. The team he selected today was the same one that people raved about last Saturday, and was certainly the one Id have sent out seeing as it did so well against Posh. However I did wonder how...

    Joe Yoffe set to challenge FIFA's transfer window.

    Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet. Seems ex-Southend trialist Joe Yoffe is set to take FIFA to court and challenge the transfer window. He currently ply's his trade in Iceland, where due to the adverse weather they endure, the season (and subsequently many player contracts) ends outside...

  5. I have a gambling addiction.

    I have just sent the following email to Ladbrokes, William Hill, Bet365, BetVictor, Stan James, Paddy Power, Pinnacle & 888: 'Dear Sirs, I am writing this email to you because I have a gambling addiction. Over a period of time, due to my addiction and desperation, I have found myself in a...

  6. Paul Sturrock is the key to next season.

    Now we are not going up, the emotional maelstrom begins. However, take a step back and look at the bigger picture. First, Paul Sturrock is the key to our success next season and must be given at least one more year to get this right. With the uncertainty of our financial situation, players...

  7. Smart businessman, or outright scoundrel?

    Over the course of the weekend I was tasked with finding a friend of mine a ticket for V Festival as she'd been ripped off on eBay and was in a bit of a panic about missing out. As it happens, I know someone from Uni who's a bit of a dab hand with these occasions. As something of a prologue...

    Paul Sturrock Can do No Wrong!

    ..... Well he can't can he? If it's not doing a great job to keep one player satisfied (Granty), or showing great determination to get stuck into a sticky project, or his ability to bring in a whole new team of signings, or his ability to show he has thought of using one extra formation, then I...

    Rusty's X-Files - A Brief SUFC Themed Special

    There's not much to say anymore. Even the most pink-hued of the rose-tinted spectacle brigade are joining us in the realist corner - our beloved club is well and truly ****ed. I'm not going to post a rallying cry - I know we'll get behind the team if by some miracle we're able to get a team...

  11. Rules Are Rules. Unless You're Portsmouth.

    When Portsmouth’s 4th owner of the season presumably won the club in a game of pass-the-financially-defunct-parcel, did nobody explain the basic rules of English football? The news that Portsmouth have applied for extraordinary circumstances to the Premier League in order to sell their...

    Question Anybody get a phone call today from the club?

    They rang me earlier telling me the Charlton game is nearly sold out asking if I wanted to buy tickets, I didn't know whether this was desperation or just genuine concern. I expect the same level of service when we get another big draw in the cup. 90 second phone call and I part with £40 for...

    Leeds Live The Dream

    DID LEEDS GET LUCKY? Absolutely not. This was a fully deserved win by a team who paid for their victory in blood and in sweat and in tears. Leeds United may have spent the last two and a half years in the third flight of English football, but if this result is anything to go by, they're on...

    Have we signed anyone yet?

    It has now been a week since the season ended and even though we can not officially sign players yet, surely I am not the only one worried by the lack of transfer activity at Roots Hall. Ron Martin keeps on talking about a war chest, but I don't think we've got a pot to p1ss in frankly. Will a...

    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...

    Standing at the cross-roads - read this Ron Martin!

    I think the club is currently at a cross roads. We can either spend money and try and buy our way out of possible trouble with expensive short term solutions, or we can struggle on with what we've got, topped up by loan signings and the occasional more expensive signing when the right player...
