Getting a Pizza the Nigels

I think it was some rebel traitor against the Crown who once remarked that there was “only two things certain in life: death and taxes”. Well, we here at Gandermonium would like to add a third point to that statement and that’s “if there is some sort of Micky Mouse cup that Sutton are going […]

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 […]

An Early Substitute

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 […]
