    I Hate West Ham

    I hate reporting from Upton Park. I've had enough bad jobs in my life to know that I shouldn't whinge about this one, but I really can't stand the place. I'm no shrinking violet, I've done an away trip to Millwall, but that lot down Green Street are horrible. On Saturday, I heard one of them...

  2. Get a Grip!

    Yesterday's performance was dire. I've not been able to make some of the much better games recently so if anyone should be complaining about how rubbish we must be it would be me. What I couldn't understand from some of the fans yesterday and having just seen some of the posts on here is some...

    Michael Jackson Ticket dilema

    07/01/2009 Will your Michael Jackson tickets be worth more than the refund? Guest post by Dr Christopher Paley In offering Michael Jackson ticket holders the choice to take a refund or receive their unusable tickets as souvenirs, AEG have introduced music fans to one of the most intractable...

    Success? No Chance

    At opposite ends of the country, two ill-fated and short-lived eras are coming to an end. In East London, the unintentionally hilarious reign of Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson is already over. In Newcastle, Mike Ashley has desperately slapped a GBP100m price tag on the front of St James Park in the hope...

    Wembley: A Nation(al Stadium) divided?

    As a stadium, I still feel entirely undecided about Wembley. It's most impressive outside, lit up at night - a glowing beacon calling sports fans to its central hub. And it's a very slick operation, delivering colossal volumes of food and drink at breakneck speed, being very sensibly laid out...

    The Apprentice - week 1

    Whoever the 16th person was who "bottled it" before the tv stage, he enjoyed more air time than the majority of those on the men's team - Howard excepted. Tonight was all about the meltdown in the girls' team. Stepping up to the plate in week 1, Mona (surely the a and n are the wrong way round?)...

    Ron's Blog - 17 March 2009

    Chairman's Blog As highlighted last week, my blogs were initially for a trial period. The first was toward the end of January and this is week 7. Whilst I have spoken openly and freely about a number of topics I do not, as I have already mentioned, know whether I have answered the majority of...

    Rusty Shackleford's X-Files: SUFC Special

    I thought I would depart from the normal RSXF theme of carl, steveo and I arguing with all the Godless lefties and discuss something which really doesn’t belong in the Pub section – my view on the current state of Southend United, both on and off the field. Steve Tilson has presided over one...

    Ron Martin's Blog

    Chairman’s Blog 27.01.09 - From Inside Your Club When I started looking at investing in SUFC and held early meetings with Vic Jobson it soon became clear (the opposite actually!) that the operation was surrounded in mystique. I will not speak ill of the dead but I think the Chairman at that...

    Hi everyone just wanted to comment on the situation we're in. Have read a lot of threads about Tilly, players, money, stadium etc on here and thought I'd offer a (perhaps naiive?) view. Bearing in mind SUFC don't get a lot of coverage down here, I have to rely on the web etc for results and...

    Victory For Football? Not Quite...

    Finally someone listened to Kaka. Throughout this entire silly episode, the Brazilian midfielder has begged and pleaded with the AC Milan management not to sell him to Manchester City. He has told them that he wants to stay and captain the side. He said that he wanted to grow old at the San...

    Today's scoop6

    This is not a post to promote gambling. Gamble responsibly. But If you do feel comfortable giving up a few pounds and don't want 40% of your pound to disappear from the prize pot, can I recommend the Scoop6 as it has rolled over twice and looks to be a record amount. What this means is that...

    Sir Alex Ferguson's relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo.

    Likening your guidance, as an employer, to the counsel of a father is a tactic that very few football managers could get away with, but what might sound melodramatic and over-familiar in some cases is perfectly suitable for Sir Alex Ferguson's relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo. "If you are...

    This is a vital season for Arsenal

    At this time of year, particularly in the UK, it's not unusual to be struck down by the post-holiday blues. Everywhere you look you can see the sad, sun-tanned faces of those who have let their problems ebb away on a hot beach, only to return home to the sickening blow of normality. For some...

  15. SUFC - heading in the right direction

    Amidst all the current transfer uncertainty, I'm going to stick my neck out and say I think our club has got a clear idea of where its going. At the end of last season we had a first XI who were good but not quite good enough plus an assortment of fringe players who were either past their best...

    Frank Rijkaard

    It's a sign of the times that two teams placed third in their domestic leagues can be led by managers under intense media pressure, but Barcelona's visit to Gelsenkirchen, home of Schalke 04, saw two halves of football that went a long way to explaining why. Frank Rijkaard has come in for...

    Managing Newcastle Isn't A Game

    There is a computer game in existence that, I’m afraid to admit, has cost me around 15 years of my life. It’s called Football Manager and I’ve owned every incarnation of it since 1993. It’s a wonderful way to waste time, it really is. You pick your club, assemble your players, choose a formation...

    In the wake of the inevitable sacking of Steve McClaren, the English Football Association has promised an urgent review of the national game. They might want to start by looking at the cack-handed, bungling manner in which they last tried to hire a manager and promising to avoid a repeat...
