    Cheryl Cole. Grrrr.

    There are a million and one reasons to dislike Cheryl Cole. There’s her colour, for starters, a curious orangey glow that smacks of either too much Sunny Delight or too many quid-a-minute South Shields tanning salons. There’s her husband, the odious little skraeling who earns more money in the...

  2. 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...

  4. 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...

  7. Newcastle Suffer the Greatest Loss

    Newcastle United have no manager, an owner that doesn't want them, a vastly inflated wage bill and a squad on the verge of mutiny, yet that was all put into perspective this morning with the news that Sir Bobby Robson passed away. He was 76. A true icon of the game, his playing success was...

    Points deduction

    I reckon we might have to overcome a points deduction next season. Added that given we have mismanaged our finances (fact, or we wouldn't have a petition for a winding up order) we are likely to be under a transfer embargo and unable to sign anyone during the window, where does everyone think...

    Chairmen’s Conference Portugal June 2009 – Two Important Issues

    As part of the Club’s policy of supporter communication I thought it may be helpful to advise of a couple of changes affecting football finances which were discussed last week between the whole of the Football League Clubs. Four times a year Football League Clubs meet to discuss matters...

    Random Article on Youth Set up

    Was looking for something else and stumbled across this article on the youth set up in 2000. All sounds very similar to what we are hearing these days, with the 'Score' team sounding like the development deals we now have.....have things really changed that much?! Soccer: Babes to give...

    Its just another day, you wake up you think and remind yourself how Southend have been doing and it can sometimes put a downer on your day, but people tomorrow is not one of the 365, tomorrow is a case of 1 against 364 others and when this day tomorrow January the 3rd comes into your life as it...

    Abuse of opposing players.

    We hear it at every game and at every ground in the country, but this is nothing new. I am doing some research on the Kursaal and here is a complaint about the crowd in a reserve match (South Eastern League) v Southampton in 1919. I visited the Kursaal last Saturday and watched a creditable...
