Well, it’s been a minute eh? Over a month in fact since I engaged the fingers and bashed out some load of old rubbish for these here pages. It’s been so long in fact that the next two posts were from Dukey on his beloved Surrey Senior Cup! (1|2).Back in March, there was optimism as […]
Working on a Semi
Yes, it’s April. And yes, we’re bloody still in the cup. And I know that’s rarer than seeing Angela Rayner pay her taxes or seeing me on an away day these days but it’s all true. We’re somehow hanging on in Surrey’s top pot. The Senior one no less. So while our League 2 campaign […]
Claret & Brew
You know, you wait ages for a bus to arrive and then two come along at once. Blogs are very much the same and you lucky devils are in for a real old treat as there is not one but two entries on here to get your teeth into this week. And not only that, […]
False Dawn
When the Tranmere date was revealed back in June, some people from this parish jumped on it immediately and went about booking hotels in towns miles outside of Liverpool for a big weekend on it. Meanwhile the rest of us just shrugged, went “It’s in fucking March. Calm down!” and got on with more immediate […]
Last Chance Saloon
In introducing this blog, I must admit to a degree of personal responsibility for Sutton’s current desperate plight. My last contribution coincided with the high-water mark of the season when a surprise 5-1 victory against Notts County on the season’s opening day sent U’s top of the nascent League Two table. Since then, I’ve brought […]
Bring Me Sunshine
All right sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the League 2’s! A day in the Football League is like a day on the farm. Every meal’s a banquet! Every centre mid defensive! Every formation a 4-4-2! I love the League 2’s! Yes dear reader, I have returned once […]
The Pilgrim Way
I wasn’t really going to bother for this one. Mainly as I covered Boxing Day and well, that was only like a week or so ago. And we won. So you know, having some positivity at the top of the feed on the site was nice for a change, especially with this season. But with […]
Madam Cholet’s Knickers
Boxing Day football. The highlight of the season. The jewel in the Association calendar. Right? RIGHT? Well, for some it is. But for others, those amongst the footballing fraternity where things haven’t quite panned out how they’d have liked over the first 4 months of the season, it’s a little less anticipated. Dreaded even. Especially […]
Fade to Gray…
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened”. Wise words and somewhat appropriate this week as following the disastrous 8-0 shellacking at Stockport at the weekend, the club sadly called time on Manager Matt Gray’s tenure with the team bottom of League 2 and boasting a run of form that has seen them win […]
Epsom Salts
Oh no, it’s that time once again! And much like that drunk crazy relative you always have to invite to your gaff at Christmas, otherwise it will upset your mother, it’s me The Duke back once more to regale you with a tale of non-league football. The Gandermonium blog might’ve evolved since the last time […]
