    FAO Cluneimore, please can we have some answers as to what is going wrong

    I personally respect the appearances of Sturrock/Coughlan or whoever this Cluneimore character was during the course of the season, however what I would say is that the appearances only seemed to be aimed at fans who were moaning whilst the team was winning. When things started to go wrong...

    Vote of no confidence for Gove

    This would be an interesting move.... <link> I loved this quote: I do thing that general contentment amongst teachers, as with many public sector workers, must be at record low in recent times. Now before we get into "public sector workers don't know how good they've got it" debate - and...

  3. Loan players

    What with the loan window opening again next week who could we realistically get in to improve the squad for the last few months? I think we could do with another striker and some defensive cover. Nicky Forster at Brentford or Jo Kuffour at Bristol Rovers don't seem to be playing much. Thoughts?

  4. It's finally happened. RIP my Beloved PlayStation 3

    Its finally happened. RIP my Beloved PlayStation 3 Lads.... HOLD ME! My PS3 just died. Started a game of FIFA and it froze, then the red light started blinking then turned off and now it's having none of it. I'm gutted. It's a launch 60GB model so I knew it was only a matter of time but I...

    OD - Match 4

    Me 5th away to a weaker team. Resting 3 first teamers for PFL but my new batsmen makes his debut. Should be strong enough to win this. Have a keen eye on Sunday's cup opps. Depending on who they pick today I may have a stab at an upset on Sunday. If so I'll be throwing next weeks FC where...

  6. Traditions for the new stadium....???

    In the new stadium I would like to put forward an (work in progress!) idea that we start a tradition. As our team, at this time of year, visits the local hospital to raise some cheer to all the kids stuck therein, would something along these lines be fun in mid December...

  7. Fitness levels

    A lot of the gloom and doom on here is mis-placed. Realistically, this was always going to be a transitional season and hopes of a quick return to League 1 were fanciful. If Sturrock pulls that off with the barriers he's had put in place, he really will be an all-time legend. But I am very...

    Help running the Great South Run

    Hi all, I have signed up to do the Great South Run on 24th October and due to a number of factors; changing job, playing other sport and above all...sheer lazyness, I have not done much training for it. So, I have basically 8 weeks to get myself in the right shape for the 10 mile run and...

  9. What or Who is more important? Southend United or Ron Martin?

    We continue to discuss the merits of boycotting Roots Hall for the purpose of venting our feelings to the Chairman. But I'm not convinced for the follwing reasons: (1) I think he pretty much knows how the majority of fans feel. (2) I don't think he gives a toss. (3) Would any such a...

    Prediction Time

    So, folks, what are your predictions for how things will look on May 7th? You don't necessarily need to go into all the detail I've gone into below; you can just come up with a basic summary and/or choose the option in the poll which you think most closely reflects how you think it will go...

    Who'll be here next season?

    Who out of our 15 most important players do you think will be here next season? Only put down contracted players, realistically can see Mildy, Franno, Macca, Moussa and JFC all leaving. On an optimistic note, Scannell could easily tear up League 2!

    Blow Me, Duckface. I'm Sick of Hicks

    Is it nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of troubles and, by opposing, end them? A question posed 500 years ago by Hamlet in Denmark was emphatically answered this weekend by club director Tom Hicks Jnr in Liverpool. It seems...

    Newcastle's Loss at Spurs Today

    By their 1-0 loss at Spurs today, I think that the writing really has to be on the wall for Newcastle's relegation now. What a shambolic season they have had and now the realisation they are probably not going to stay up is almost upon them as the Shearer (last throw of the dice to find Geordie...

    No getting away from 76points

    Had a little time this morning, still recovering from the tiredness of my weeks travels, so I did a bit of simple statistical work. IIRC, when we still had a dozen or so matches remaining, I amongst others, fell on the 76 point target if we were to make a late charge for the play-offs. Now...

    England Expects - And That's No Bad Thing

    If his first year was all about getting back to basics, Fabio Capello's second will be spent rebuilding England's tattered reputation. European football fans still laugh at the 'superpower' nation that couldn't even qualify for Euro08, but they will laugh no longer if Spain are vanquished in...

    Tilson out?

    I see we've had a bit of a poor run of late which has led to a vocal minority coming out of the woodwork and calling for the gaffer's head. I dug this up from the archives earlier. Just goes to show how far we've come as a club under Tilly and that maybe his biggest 'mistake' was raising...

    Question Transfer Window: Where to strengthen?

    After yesterdays game, what positions do you realistically want signings for? Looking at the squad, I don't rate Joyce, but he can stay back-up and I'll hope Mildy keeps fit. Sankofa has finally given Francis something to think about, and it could be a while before Simon gets back into the...
