    Question Ron's next statement

    Unless I'm mistaken Ron Martin hasn't made the promised pre weekend statement yet. Is he preparing it for tonight, followed by a gallant pitchside stroll laping up the crowds applause?
  3. SUFC Forever

    Ron Martin...

    So all the rumours of our financial problems and possible administration have now been confirmed as true then. As one of the "mug punters" conned by Martin and his cohorts into believing that we could help our club by buying shares in it, with promises of a wonderous future and sparkling...

    White Hart Lane

    I always enjoy a trip to White Hart Lane. Sure, it's in the middle of the north-east London badlands, a destination made even more remote by London Transport's fascination with shutting down the tube on match day, but there are consolations. For starters, there's the stadium itself, a hulking...

    Mr Bechtel....I salute you Sir!!

    One thing about the Aussies is that their hearts and humour are always in the right place! T. B. Bechtel, a City Councillor from Newcastle, Australia, was asked on a local live radio talk show, just what he thought about the allegations of torture of suspected terrorists. His reply...

    Peter Clarke

    Seems like our ex defender was mixing it up with the Newcastle players in a friendly tonight. http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/Beye-melee-mars-Toon39s-Terriers.5480574.jp Interesting to see he was named Captain, I didnt realise he'd be getting the armband.

    Isn't it amazing...

    ...how we now all feel so upbeat when less than a week ago we were ready to hang ourselves. Tilly and Brush were being hauled over the coals for not signing Worley and Saah (or hardly anyone for that matter) and I actually think people thought we'd start at the back on Saturday with youth...

  8. Question Minutes silence

    As CS said, there was a minutes silence yesterday at Ipswich in recognition of Bobby Robson. What i was wondering, what is better? Minute silence? applause? or singing i.e. theres only one bobby robson... Personally i think the Singing is the best idea. Closely followed by applause. What do...

    Villa Fans Need A Reality Check

    The Premier League table has an eerily familiar look, doesn't it? In amongst the excitement of Liverpool's emphatic victory at Old Trafford and the discovery of stardust in the boots of Andrey Arshavin, this was the weekend when Aston Villa finally dipped out of the top four. There can't be many...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Billy Best

    I never saw Billy Best play. What I have seen was the reverence that those who had, hold Billy Best. The mere mention of his name and fans of a certain age go all misty-eyed. I first noticed this phenomenon in 1993. I knew Stan was good, but I wasn't at that stage sure quite how good he was...

    Nervous Gunners Slip Through

    Cesc Fabregas is the youngest Arsenal captain since Tony Adams and, appropriately enough, the new era began much like the old one. The Gunners were tentative and unsure of themselves, but recovered their composure to sneak a victory. One nil to the Arsenal? Meet the new boss, same as the old...

    Rafa's Poisonous Glow

    There is a frog in Central America, the strawberry poison dart frog, that is born bright red as a warning to predators of the poison that lurks in its blood stream. It is not the only creature whose colour signifies danger. Certain snakes, insects and the oft-spotted Rafa Benitez all share the...

    Arsene Wenger stared down his inquisitor and smiled. Just half an hour after his young Arsenal side had demolished Sheffield United by six goals, the old quote, "You can't win anything with kids," had been offered up to him. "These players," he said levellely, "do not play like kids." They...
