Oh well, another dream down the swanny. Just when you start to thinking about a “Tuesday night in Torquay”, the thought is sent crashing against the rocks of a condom & needle strewn South coast beach. But don’t worry this won’t be a sulk (much) like if we lose at Knaphill for example. Or when […]
A Couple of Sovereigns
They say you learn something new everyday. And it’s total bollocks. In fact I am proud to say that I haven’t really learnt anything since about 1978 and in the words of the late, great Lemmy “That’s the way I like it baby, I don’t want to live forever.” But I may or not have […]
No Hablo Espanol! – Football Abroad
With Christmas fast approaching, most people would be concentrating on Presents, mince pies and what size turkey they need to feed the 5,000 on the big day. Me & the missus however aren’t ‘most people’ and with a very trying year at work for me plus a hard 2nd year at Uni for her, we […]
A Bit of a Cocker
So tell me, what have Woodstock, Pulp & Brookside got in common? Well to be honest, and here at Gandermonium it could mean anything, it all started with the late Jarvis Joe Cocker (or was it the Spice Girls?) and ended up with Sutton United being mentioned in divorce papers. Yeah on second thoughts, don’t bother trying […]
400 up. Dundo’s Gonna Get Ya!
It’s been a while since I’ve sat here on a Sunday morning and put together one these updates, and to be honest I was a little rusty. I’d lost the natural flow you need for this sort of thing. So I called up Dukey on Sunday morning for a bit of advice on how this […]
Curzon a Fuss
It’s back. The FA Trophy returns to once more tantalise us with the rather ambitious dream of a day out at Wembley. And despite all our whinging this season (and past ones!) about samey old draws, the FA finally relented and gave us someone a bit different in Curzon Ashton. And I don’t mean to […]
Aden & Raiden
God you gotta love a cup tie. Well except when you lose of course. I mean, it’s no good getting all excited for a game knowing that all it would take is a last minute kick in the old proverbials (Merstham away springs to mind) or to play with you strongest team available and still […]
Tending the Garden
Having recently become an unemployed bum in waiting, this tends to give you a fair bit of time to yourself. It also tests one’s willpower. I mean, it would be easy to simply pull the duvet over your head and just lie stinking in your pit until midday before getting up and spending all day […]
Hawaii Constabulary Style
It’s been a strange week. Like many other unfortunates across the country, I hauled my Turkey and Quality Street stuffed carcass out of bed on Monday and returned to work after the Xmas break. By Wednesday morning, I’d had my fill and coupled with old reservations about my employers, I’d done what can only be […]
The Caribbean Curly Toe
So, after seeing the last game of last year and the first game of this year washed out due to the recent spot of inclement weather, we finally get to see our first game of 2016. It was time to entertain a former Ryman opponent of ours in Lowestoft Town. And who would’ve guessed, that […]
