For reasons that I neither understand nor want to, I offered to blog Sutton’s trip to that footballing, perhaps even, societal, outpost, Barrow(-in-Furness). I compiled one a few seasons back and got criticised for my description of Barrow by one of its proud residents for doing so. Having walked around the centre last season, I […]

Smell The Jelly
Loud buzzing noise. Waking me up. Must stop. Must stop noise. My arm flails out to the left and despite my eyes remaining firmly closed my hand slaps down squarely on top of the offender. Alarm clocks. Both a wonder and an absolute bane of the human race. Sort of thing that the inventor needed […]
Indirect Fortune
Blimey, this weather. It’s been a bit of a struggle if I’m honest. Being both British and of the red headed persuasion, this means I most definitely am not buit for these kind of conditions. Sure, we can put up with on our holidays as we’re not at home, have nice food and unusual beer […]
Columbo’s Coat
Hello and welcome back once again dear reader to that Sutton United thing you’ve sort of heard of that isn’t a podcast. This week, you’ll be surprised to hear, we’ll be once more bumbling to the far reaches of the North of England to watch grinding League 2 football, with Barrow the latest location to […]
Computer Steam Room
Until recently, I’d never really registered nor particularly cared about the North American holiday of Thanksgiving. It just seemed like something you saw mentioned in the movies and appeared to simply be an early dress rehearsal for the proper business of Christmas a month later. Then I started working for US owned firms and it […]
Welcome Back Desmond
Ok, it’s been a while since we’ve seen a Desmond round these parts. Think it was back in mid-August when we welcomed one of those Northern teams who showed us how to exactly take a set-piece not once but twice in a row as we shipped in two simple goals to the powerhouses that are […]
They Call Me Wendy at Weekends
It’s not happening at the moment is it for the poor boys of lil’ old Sutton United. We can’t buy a win for love or money currently. The worst thing is that we’re not playing that badly really, but we just can’t seem to put the ball into the back of the net. Gravesend & […]
Stakeholder Engagement
Greetings loyal readers and welcome to another Robbo blog! I was messaged by our very own Dukey in the week asking if I was writing for the Barrow game. As it happened, I was unsure myself so I asked our very own Editor-in-Chief Taz and he confirmed I was indeed on duty for today. This […]
A Bru-Dash-Ik Experience
There is a little saying in football often referred to by us old timers that goes along the lines of “a good days drinking is usually spoilt by the ninety minutes of football”. Well, once again, and not for the first bloody time, this was very true as the boys of the Firm made the […]
Arise the Barrow 10! Or 12. Or Bloody 13…
There’s hardcore, there’s really hardcore and there’s bleedin’ bloody stupid. And what category would you call the members of Gandermonium? Because it’s a cold Tuesday night in February and some of us have made the small 315 mile trip North to watch a rearranged football match of the fifth division variety. And that’s before we […]
