I spend my professional life writing for other people, but the past few years have given rise to such footballing pride, that words are quite simply bursting out of me right now. I have two footballing loves, Liverpool and Sutton United, and that won’t change until the day I die. The backstory is that I […]
Year: 2021
Slipped Through Our Fingers
Take a deep breath. Just relax. It’s all over now. We all know that this is going to be one of those seasons. And not just full of the usual highs & lows that a normal one would bring. There’ll be a few of those magical moments that will stay with you for a bit […]
Foot & Mouth
Here it is folks. Our first ever game in the Football League. And as befits our now full time professional Bertie big bollocks status, we here at Gandermonium will be changing tack this season to bring you a more considered, thoughtful and fact based approach with lots of match detail, discussion on new signings, stats […]
Youtube Bus Videos
I’ll be honest, even not being the greatest fan of pre-season, I’ve found it hard to get up for this summer’s action, even with the historic first FL season looming just barely a week away. I guess that usual “It’s just mildly competitive training” feel mixed in with seeing precisely half a dozen live games […]
The Wrong Brief
Covid pandemic, yadda yddda, weird couple of years, not been to a game in ages, watched all of Netflix etc etc so an and so forth. Got it? Good. Ok, let’s try this again shall we? And hello to you, dear reader. Remember us? We’re that blog thing you used to read & find vaguely […]

With the late change in first PSF from meeting a Brentford XI down at Farnborough, to a heading out to the arse end of the Metropolitan line and a visit to an old Isthmian League stomping ground in Chesham catching a lot of the idiots on the hop, there was due to be no entry […]
Top Secret
It already seems like a lifetime ago, but jump back 2 weeks and as the National League title race looked like it would go down to the very wire on the last day. We had our noses in front, just, but Torquay were still there and it seemed that if we stuck at it. we’d […]
The Promised Land
As a lifelong Fulham fan the 2020-21 season will very easy to brush under the carpet. To be fair when I last got to Craven Cottage in the flesh they were in the Championship and by the time I get back there next season (fingers crossed) that’s where I’ll still find them. Although in the […]
Fortune Favours the Bald
As the champagne was being sprayed all round the joint and our extraordinary group of players went through their party moves to the sounds of their enormous travelling boom box Taz lent across to me and said “So, d’you think you’ve got enough material for the blog then…” Football. I mean, bloody hell Isn’t it? […]
Woking Hard for It….
Yeah yeah, I know. “But Taz, you said writing blogs about watching games on TV was shit! And yet here you are with another effort about watching a game on TV!!”. To be honest, I still stand by that, but the fact that the U’s were 4 games from a possible promotion to the Football […]
