    As a manager I would change..........

    Di Canio has banned mobile phones, ketchup and mayonnaise from the training ground at Black Cats. He explains why clearly and it makes sense, mainly. If you were manager in the current game what would you change now so much more is organised and specified, measured and prepared for.......what's...

    Current players like past players

    Watching last nights thoroughly entertaining game, it struck me that some of our players really remind me of other players.... anyone else agree ? CRAIG REID .................HARRY CRAWFORD DON COWAN..................MARTIN CARRUTHERS WILL ATKINSON.............JULIAN HAILS DANIEL...

    Crazy!!!!

    Enjoyed the match last night , it was a very entertaining evening + well worth the tenner admission. But some of the decisions by our management team was ridiculous. We had 2 of our trialists who must wonder why they wasted their time coming to the club. Firstly Don Cowan , a lightening fast...

    The Great Divide

    Blimey, what a week! We've got people who used to hate Ron now not hating him as much and maybe even liking him as well as people who gave him the benefit of the doubt before who think he is now the spawn of the Devil. We've got what maybe was a well intended gesture and an injection of a...

    Funny old game, isn't it?

    As our club becomes the centre of league 2 attention yet again in one of the most bizarre stories ever (club appoints new manager but allows old one to manage us 2 weeks later in a cup final) I have been thinking about the game, the situation and my feelings exactly when I saw the news that...
  7. Question Who is going to renew their season ticket?

    Last nights performance, (sorry I should say lack of performance), has made my mind up, not to renew my season tickets, (yes tickets - I pay for two!). Yet another inept, gutless display by a team, (and that team includes PS), that a win away one week, followed by the inevitable home drab...
  8. Sgorio

    Is a Welsh language footie programme shown . It's normally on Mondays @ 10.00 & I get it via Virgin Channel 167 (S4C). I find myself strangely drawn to this show with a mix of pot-bellied keepers ex football league players & pitches that premier league players would'nt park their cars on (As...
  9. Ref Watch ....... Oxford

    Tomorrow's referee needs little introduction; he is the youthful looking Gavin Ward from Oxted in Surrey. His most recent Southend match was one of his better ones, taking charge of the entertaining home 0-0 with Port Vale earlier this season with 1 caution to us and 2 to them. Before that his...

    Southend United's win at Chesterfield could be most vital win this term

    SOUTHEND United’s 1-0 win at Chesterfield on Saturday may not have been the most exciting or entertaining. But, come the end of the season, it could well prove to be one of the most important. More...

    Gavin Tomlin signifies how confident Southend United are

    GAVIN Tomlin’s remarkable scoring streak continued to secure Southend United a deserved 1-1 draw in an entertaining FA Cup second round clash at Bury on Saturday. More...

    The new system

    Sturrock has now employed a new system of playing that seems to be getting us results and is also quite entertaining. Recent performances are similar in energy and effect to the Plymouth side that PS was so successful with. We are going up people, I'm convinced. I always said we would come...
  13. A Very Positive Experience

    As I stated in the other thread today I tried the club's Blue Lounge hospitality for the first time. I was greeted by the lovely Gill who explained the procedure for the carvery meal and was served the starter of Crispy Chicken Fillets with a sweet chilli and mayo dip. I chose the wonderful...
  14. Reasons to be cheerful...

    ...one, two, three. !) The team is playing a much more entertaining style of football this season. 2) No sign of the Tax/axe man. 3) the embargo has been lifted. Amid the gloom and doom that so often swirls around RH, at least in the mind of the supporters, there are many things to be glad...

  16. Mma fighter training with the superb ben clarkson

    A few of our fighters have been training with the superb Ben Clarkson recently one of them is Southend boy Walter Gahadza, last season the Southend team trained in the gym with our fighters which was entertaining especially seeing who really were the hard men of the team and who were the...

    I am confused here

    So what exactly is PS's plan here. We have at least 3 players on board who like the ball to their feet during play, Eastwood, Benyon and Harris, Last season we tried the hoof route to the likes of Dicko etc and to some part it worked.Why sign players who prefer it on the deck if you want to play...

  20. Has anyone got any footage of Roy McDonough?

    Hello everyone, As you may, or may not know, I have just finished trawling through the blood, booze, birds and early baths of Roy McDonough's career for a highly-entertaining biography, which is being published in August. To help promote Red Card Roy I am trying to get hold of any old footage...
