Just relax & take it easy
Thank you very much Dukey for the kind hand-over from the previous blog! Determining on tonight’s result this could very well be the last time I write for Gandermonium. You readers may remember me writing in the Weston-super-Mare entry that Natalie labelled me a “bop” because each time I have written for this lot, doing […]
Juan’s 37th Birthday Spectacular
So here we are again, another trip back to Stortford. It seems like only a month we were here in the old FA Cup. Or course everyone knows that it was a whole seven weeks ago. And since then we had won a few, drawn a few and lost a few. But also today we […]

More importantly its a couple of games over a weekend that can make or break a season for a team at either end of the […]

CONFERENCE SOUTH Att: 471 BISHOPS STORTFORD – 3 [Higgins 14. Edwards 39. Edwards 60] SUTTON UNITED – 1 [Goodchild 76] Dunno about you, but I had a cracking Saturday afternoon. There I was, at home, confined to my sofa, doubled up with flu feeling shit under my duvet with a big mug of lemsip. […]

CONFERENCE SOUTH Att: 428 SUTTON UNITED – 0 BISHOPS STORTFORD – 1 [Pearson 90] Sheesh, almost Christmas already. And what a pain in the arse it is. Have you ever tried to fit in writing up some load of old pony about the exploits of a currently rubbish non-league team amongst all the eating, […]
