  1. Ref Watch ..... Easter special

    As Southend look to rise from the dead over Easter (well Ron said relegation would be "fatal"), the men in charge are as follows: Saturday Against Yeovil we have Russell Booth from Nottingham making his first visit to the Hall, although he has done 4 away matches. His last match was the...

  2. Xavi Takes Centre Stage in Football Spectacle

    When two teams of the highest calibre collide, it wouldn’t be beyond the realms of possibility that they negate each other and the feature becomes something of an anti-climax. Not when Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola are around. No. This was special. Barcelona flew out of the traps as if to...

  3. Oscar Winners

    So, Hurt Locker pipped Avatar to the best film award... In one of the very rare occasions that I agree with Mark Kermode, I didn't think the Academy would dare place the Hurt Locker above the highest grosing film of all time for the best film, but the voting system, if you ask me, is designed...

  4. Ref Watch Col U ... A Miller's Tale

    Monday night's match has been entrusted to experienced official, Nigel Miller from not very nearby Durham. This is his seventh season as a League referee and this will be his sixth Southend match and his fifth Southend away game. We haven't actually won any of his away matches although we...

  5. More SUFC Content

    My weekly dosage of all things Southend Utd include SZ.com, the match if I can go to it and a few reads of the latest programme on the toilet. At the moment many of us will be tired of reading, watching and listening to the 'bad times' at the club, but for me I cant get enough of anything...

    Sullivan Can Save Hammers

    The arrival of David Gold and David Sullivan at Upton Park is the best news that West Ham United fans could have asked for this year. Their team may be locked into a relegation battle, their money long since squandered on shoddy goods, but finally they have people in the boardroom who know what...

    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...

    Hockley gang war?

    Hockley gangs in turf war I used to play football at Clements Hall and my blood ran cold on the rare occasions I put the ball over the fence because I would have to run the gauntlet of youths burning around on 50cc step through mopeds or blasting loud music from Vauxhall Novas. Now it appears...

  9. Money Can't Buy You Class

    Money can you buy a lot of things. It can buy you a fast car, a nice house and a beautiful wife. It can buy you the worlds greatest player and, in Manchester City's case, it can buy you an incompetent defence. What money can't buy you, Manuel Pellegrini learnt tonight, is class. El Classico...

  10. England's Second String Made to Swelter.

    A second string England team fell to a single moment of brilliance in Doha, in an otherwise completely forgettable international friendly. As has become a familiar case for the meaningless friendlies outside of qualification matters, the England side consisted of Wayne Rooney, Gareth Barry...

  11. What Becomes of the Broke and Shafted

    Someone great once said that Football isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more than that. Which would explain the pain felt by those when their football club is ripped away from them. As a Southend United supporter, I've had the good grace of never witnessing non-league football and...

    Hang on a minute... (rose tinted post alert)

    Look, rule 1 in business is always try and use someone else's money rather than your own. By deferring the tax bill, especially as HMRC charge interest on unpaid tax currently at 0% (or very close to it) it becomes a very cheap loan. I genuinely believe that RM was hoping to defer and defer...

    Ron speaks

    Chairman's Blog Firstly let me apologise to those supporters who feel I have been conspicuous by my absence. Having said that I would write three blogs in the close season, I issued two. The third was to cover the new stadium plans. Over the years I hope everyone agrees that communication...

  14. Trescothick Suffers Groundhog Day Again

    The news that Marcus Trescothick failed to overcome his demons to compete properly in the Champions League Twenty20 Trophy is desperately sad, but all the more tragic is how predictable this was. Trescothick is essential to any hopes of success Somerset harboured this Summer and went to great...

    Billy Paynter news

    From Swindon's Evening Advertiser (STFC midfielder Craig Easton's column): After the great Ashes win and the not so good on-going one day international series against Australia, there’s been quite a bit in the press about cricketers playing football as a warm-up, and getting injured! Well...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings The reserve game today

    After making the near 60 mile round trip, down the wet and windy, extremely hazardous A127, I thought I might as well post my thoughts on the game. I thought it came across quite strongly which of the two teams had half a team of first teamers out there, although unfortunately for us it was...

    Goodbye Bobby Millions

    Several years ago, upon the release of his autobiography, Sir Bobby Robson held a signing session in his home town of Newcastle. Thousands of Geordies turned up, all clutching their books and waiting patiently for an audience with the great man. One of them, so the possibly apocryphal story...

    Ron's Blog 3/7/09

    Chairman's Blog I promised to let you have my thoughts upon my “likes and dislikes of the football industry”. I can sum this up in one four letter word beginning with f… yes you’ve got it FANS! My immediate thought is that the most likeable part of football is winning. However on reflection...
