    Sexy Football

    Today brings an encounter which Ruud Gullit would surely describe as "sexy football." It's Brazil v Holland ... this promises to be one beautiful game, though I'd wager that the Dutch would need to go a bit ugly in order to win it. This Brazilian side have combined defensive solidity to their...

    Australia

    Australia Manager: Pim Verbeek Captain: Lucas Neill FIFA Ranking: 20 Group D Background: The Socceroos head to South Africa for their third World Cup, after failing to progress past the group stage in 1974 but returning 32 years later in Germany last time round. Thanks to a 3-1 victory over...

    This could be a long discussion.

    Which food and drink gives you the smelliest farts? I have experienced some foul smells over the years. One of the worst was simple but effective. That was baked beans on toast for breakfast and Guiness all night. For me the standard Indian does produce a cheeky chorus of brutality. The...

  5. The clubs total income for November

    Will ironically be lower than any other month of the season, due to us having only 1 home game in 4 weeks after this fridays game. Assuming a 8,000 crowd against M.K. Dons, 5,000 of these being S.T.H then the revenue from 3,000 paying fans, adults and juniors combined would not exceed £50,000...

    MILLWALL nothing changes.

    A little bit of history repeating itself perhaps? Div 3(S) No. 10 Saturday 6th October 1923 SOUTHEND UNITED 0-0 MILLWALL Millwall came to the Kursaal with very negative hard aggressive tactics, trying to spoil the game and they succeeded in so far as they gained a point, but in the 1920s...

    The second greatest single moment in your Blues lifetime?

    Obviously the first has to be Brett Angell's goal to beat the scum 1-0, but what is the second greatest? I think mine would have to be beating Gillingham 1-0 in the league cup with the best crafted goal I've ever seen. I think it was Adrian Clarke who swung in a carefully measured corner...

    England Not That Good

    Never let it be said that England's footballers are selfish divas, unwilling to lift a finger to help others. In Amsterdam, in front of 50,000 witnesses, these much-maligned millionaires generously donated two goals to their Dutch opponents, an act of charity that they'd prefer went entirely...

    Cash Convertors

    I've been tasked with flogging our old Home Cinema system, I am toying with the idea of a collection only eBay sale or sticking it on my local Gumtree site, but before I do, has anybody had any example of flogging stuff to Cash Convertors? I am guessing I might not get as much as if I held out...

    Should they weigh people before flying

    Now, i know we have had this discussion before, but last time.. a) We didnt do a poll b) Trueblue threatened to beat people up c) i didnt realise that when the first passenger airport opened in Croyden many years ago, they did actually weigh the passengers as well as the baggage, and if the...

    Ron's next blog?

    I'm interrupting my holiday in order to write this blog because I do feel that I need to clear the air regarding one or two of my earlier statements. You know that they say you become wiser with age, yet sometimes, in my case you have to question that assumption. Now, with the benifit of...

    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...

    Webb Rescues Brazil

    Brazil 4-3 Egypt Kaka 5, 90 Zidan 8, 58 Fabiano 12 Shawkey 57 Juan 37 Now this is much more like it. After an insipid first day offered up only an uncomfortable mismatch and a desperately dull bore-draw, day two of the Confederations Cup finally delivered some excitement. Brazil were stifled...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Spencer Prior

    Four places (I think) left to fill and next up is Spencer Prior, albeit a day late in Ron Martin style. -------------------------------------------------- Separated by over a decade, Spencer Prior had two very different careers with Southend. Either would be sufficient to get him in the Hall of...

    Chairman's Blog 12th May

    Chairman's Blog I believe I have now answered all those questions – either singularly or combined – that have been sent to the Club’s media department. There were one or two “stragglers” but these points were covered in earlier responses. I have yet to come to a...

    I'd quite like to buy a flat with my girlfriend, but it's (almost) literally impossib

    Having watched house and flat prices soar now for about 15 years, I kinda always suspected they'd have to come down again at some point. And indeed they have of late. Yet STILL it's practically a dream for a first time buyer. Having had a chat with a financial advisor, we've got a few options...

    AFC Wimbledon to be promoted from the Conference South

    Almost a mathematical certainty- one game to go and only AFC Wimbledon losing and Hampton & Richmond winning by a combined goal difference of 13 can stop it happening. A victory for football methinks. It's a tough ask but hopefully they can repeat the feat next season.
  19. 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...

    OD - Week 5

    Nearly fell foul of following the FC week number! ShrimperZone CC v Jons Legends We play 3rd this week, a very solid outfit, no out and out stars but 11 high rated players. We rest only the yoofs ahead of 7 nets combined training tomorrow and Lamo drops down the order to conserve energy for...
