    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...
  2. Breaking News Ron's blog 03/03/09

    I feel there are more issues I would like to share with supporters in relation to football matters, which includes acknowledging the very capable backroom staff who get little credit for maintaining a well oiled operation. That topic will be on another agenda as many fans’ only point of contact...
  3. Breaking News Ron's blog 24/02/09

    Whilst the rest of us were watching the match, Ron was emailing us his latest thoughts: I want to begin this week by thanking all our supporters who were able to attend the match at Colchester this weekend. The 1800 or so who made the journey across Essex showed, once again, what passion is...
  4. Pre-Match Thread Scunthorpe squad for Tuesday

    With 2 players from Scunthorpe shown a red card on Saturday - does anyone know if these are significant players for them, OR if they have good players to take their place?? Thanks

  6. Zone Update Ron's Blog-17-02-09

    Chairman's Blog This week’s topic – Youth Development – is one of my favourites. This is probably in recognition that the Club’s advancement must be from organic growth. Over the last couple of weeks I have talked about player purchase and the increased structure that we have, and are...

    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...
  8. ''Don't worry be happy''

    No significant moves in the transfer market. Again! Be happy. The OS fails to keep the paying supporter updated with moves or lack of moves. Again! Be happy. We are aspiring to consolidation and fearing relegation. Again! Be happy. We await a string of excuses to be trotted out by the club as to...

    BBC (& Sky) Gaza DEC Appeal Veto

    My view is that there is a very real humanitarian crisis going on in Gaza and that urgent medicine, food and shelter is great need. I've been reading CAFOD's blog from Palestine which has been a real eye opener and very personal account of exactly what has been going on. I know there must be...
  10. A Plea to Uncle Ron

    As at Doncaster and Stamford Bridge, you received a warm reception from the Southend supporters last night as you walked around the pitch before the match. You now have the opportunity to repay these supporters with something more than a hand clap. As you said on 5-live yesterday, the income...

    EPL Half-Term Reports Pt II

    Bolton - Not one of our most popular pupils, this one. Prone to fits of violence and if there's a ruckus in the playground, you'll invariably find him at the centre of it. That said, he has settled into his work better this term and is beginning to achieve some reasonable grades. A bit more...
  12. Ref Watch ..... Cheltenham away

    The referee for Tuesday's away match at Cheltenham will be making his way from Newport, Isle of Wight. It will be first year referee James Linington who will be refereeing his tenth ever League match and second at this level. He is used to a bigger stage though, in his previous capacity as a...
  13. Ref Watch ... Oldham (H)

    Saturday's match against Oldham will be refereed by the experienced official, Phil Crossley, from Kent. This would be his seventh season as a League referee but as he missed all of last season through injury, I guess it's really his sixth. The two previous seasons were both interrupted by...

    Boo-Boys Blight Effective England

    With three wins out of three and a new-found ability to pass the ball about on the ground, the Fabio Capello revolution is gradually gaining momentum. A surprisingly perky Kazakhstan team were eventually swept aside at Wembley, crushed 5-1 with a late flurry of goals. The dark days of the former...

    Today's Attendance

    Interesting to note the attendance today, only being 6,300 odd. Now whilst that would have been the attendance that dreams were made of a few years back, it has not taken that long, or that bad a run of results, for the attendance to drop off slightly. Granted, Hereford brought little more...

    Stupid England Get There Slowly

    The signs of improvement are visible, but Fabio Capello's mission to revitalise the England team is still some way from completion. There were moments, during this frustrating, attritional non-contest, of class and sophistication, but sporadic style couldn't eclipse the fact that this side are...
  17. Question Is Tilson running out of ideas?

    Before anyone starts complaining I am not suggesting that Tilson should be sacked, I'm merely asking if he has run out of new innovative ideas that can take this club forward back into the Championship (which is where we all want to be I assume?). Steve and Paul have done a great job since...
  18. John Akinde - Ebbsfleet

    just had an email for myfootballclub thing as i subscribed for a year lol what a waste of money! this is the email - could we be the league club? On Wednesday 27 August a League club made an offer in excess of £140,000 for striker John Akinde. Ebbsfleet United could also recieve further...

    Zone Update More changes for the Zone

    Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be looking to implement a few more improvements to the Zone, some of them being fairly significant in terms of the overall experience. Since we're unable to load new modifications into a testing area, we sometimes have to run tests live on the forum itself...

    40 things You Would Love To Say Out Loud At Work

    1 I can see your point, but I still think you're full of sh*t. 2 I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce. 3 How about never? Is never good for you? 4 I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public. 5 I'm really easy to get along with...
