  1. Can of Worms Opened, Europe turns on the Premier League Bully Boys

    Like the Headmaster at a School, FIFA are now rounding up the bullies of the football world and taking them to task... Manchester City the latest club to be investigated for illegal transfer activity. When Lens were succesful in their pursuit of a just punishment for Chelsea FC over the Gael...
  2. NFL: It's a Dog Eat Dog World for Vick...

    The NFL season starts next week, and no player will be more thankful to be a part of the big Kick Off than Philadelphia's Michael Vick. Vick, fresh from serving 18 months of a 23 month sentence for running an illegal dog-fighting ring, saw his indefinite suspension from the League repealed in...
  3. The Mark of a ChampiYong

    Ok, Ok, I know this is late... But I was on my travels while this happened. While your reading this, there's no doubt in my mind that Tiger Woods is on a golf course somewhere, meticulously tinkering away with his swing and clubs, trying to identify just what went wrong at Hazeltine. After...
  4. Women's Boxing

    It's been confirmed today that women's boxing will be included in the 2012 Olympics. This topic has caused mixed responses in the boxing world. Frank Warren has stated he thinks it is wrong because he doesn't like the idea of watching women possibly getting KO'd So how does it make you feel...
  5. 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...

    Proactive action to save Southend United F.C.

    Let me start off by saying that I'm not looking to excuse the situation that the club finds itself in in any way shape or form. Even in a best case scenario, with the club agreeing a payment plan with HMRC and being able to continue operating in relative normality, it's axiomatic that steps must...
  7. Question Most important pre-season question

    Ok, so it's a slow day at work! But still a question of vital importance. Towards the end of last season the club banned food i.e. large whale & chips from the Fish House, being taken into the ground, but then relented after 1 match IIRC. However it was stated, not for the 1st time, that only...

    Question So what do you suggest we do about things?

    There must be hundreds of threads containing posts moaning about the lack of transfers, winding-up orders, players joining other clubs, etc. The club have stated their position through RM, Tilly but still we have nothing but moaning. So has anybody got realistic suggestions to offer? Options...

    My two cents

    I'm getting very irritated with the lack of news regarding new faces or even links to new faces that could potentially join Southend United. As soon as we beat Cheltenham we lost two of our key players in the season with the end of Dervite and Robinson's loans from Tottenham and Watford...
  10. Question Can Francis Make It At Centre Back?

    With the imminent departure of Peter Clarke,we wll be left with just four recognised defenders, so it's no surprise that Tilly has stated his priorities are a centre back and a left back. I believe that Sankofa is too short to be a central defender and would prefer Francis in that position,where...

    My end of season review.

    I was asked to write a review for college about a subject that inspired me, I didn't necessarily have to talk about how it inspired me but I just had to compile a 2000 word essay. So I chose to do a season review. Well here we are at the end of another season, although in the end we can feel...

    Concord Show They're Power Rangers

    It hasn't been mentioned, but homely little Concord Rangers are making a remarkable bid for promotion to the Ryman Premier. They only just won the Essex Senior League on the last day of 2007 / 08, when 3 teams were in the running, and throughout their debut season they were around the play-off...

    Breaking News Ron's Blog

    I feel that I should be letting you have my thoughts and feelings about the season now it is effectively at an end but I promised that I would answer all the questions that are put to me and I am continuing to do so. However I will need to bring this to an end soon as it was only meant to span...

    Rons Blogg

    Chairman's Blog Firstly before I deal with Q&A there are one or two things to clear up. The first relates to Peter Clarke and an article in today’s Echo. In last week’s blog I set out the position, once again, surrounding Peter but for the record there have been no discussions with Peter...
  15. 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's Southend United Hall of Fame - Paul Sansome

    Ah-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, its Sammy! Yep, first up from the 4th round of nominations is popular goalkeeper Paul Sansome. If Sammy is elected, he'll become the third individual from the double promotion era to be elected, following in the footsteps of his manager Dave...
  17. Chairman's Blog - 24th March

    Chairman's Blog As promised the Club’s media department has sifted through all the emails received to date and amalgamated these into the most frequently asked questions including some unusual ones. I am told that some of the emails have been paraphrased but I am sure they include the gist. I...

    Prediction League News End of Season Cup 1st Round Draw and Competition Rules

    As mentioned in the other thread DoDtS came to me with an idea about a knock out competition to run alongside the established league, i thought it was a great idea as it should keep the interest running to the seasons end for a few more posters, i was hoping it would attract a few new...
  20. Goals ..

    It was previously correctly stated that Roots Hall has been the most boring ground in the division, goals-wise this season. Well our last six home matches with Walsall have produced three 0-0s, two 1-0s and a 1-1. Just four goals ! Time for a change ?
