Normally, an alarm to wake me on a Thursday morning is not a fun thing. It means getting up and going to work. Which I unfortunately have to do as I want (and need) money to do stupid shit and drink beer at the weekends. Oh and pay my mortgage, yeah that too. But mostly […]
CONIFA 2018 Day 1 – Bakelite Gramophone
I’d been looking forward to the CONIFA world football cup ever since it was announced that West Sutton would be hosting a decent chunk of the tournament. Any opportunity to promote the People’s Republic to the outside world is an opportunity to be embraced warmly and we’d been counting down the days to the noon […]
West Sutton Welcomes the World!
If you’ve been paying attention in the last couple of months to our ramblings on here and on social media (and let’s face it, why wouldn’t you have been?) you may have noticed us mention something called ‘CONIFA’ once or twice. What do you mean ‘no’? Oh come on, you must have done?? Not even […]
2017/18 Season Review – Part 3
So, here we are. The final part of our Season Review for 2017/18. And if you recall from the last instalment (come on, it was only a couple of days ago. It’s not that hard!) we left the lads early in the New Year sitting in 5th spot and with safety already assured, but having […]
2017/18 Season Review – Part 2
Having started the season well and had some fun in topping the table not once, not twice, but FOUR times already, it could be said life is pretty good for the Amber clad inhabitants of the People’s republic. That and we’re still in the FA Cup AND (to you-know-who’s delight) the Surrey Cup. Ok, so […]
2017/18 Season Review – Part 1
So, 2016/17. That was a bit mental eh? 5th Round of the FA Cup, playing Arsenal, some bloke eating a pie, front page of the Sun. Like I said. Mental. So, I guess we’d all be up for one of those nice, quiet, boring mid-table seasons after all that fucking palaver? Then again, this is […]
The Colin Luckett Effect
So is that it then? Bugger it! All over before the fat lady has even warmed up with a gargle of mouthwash. I suppose if she’d choked on it, then that could’ve been us. Because today was the day we choked, big time. Not for the first time in our history have we been only […]
Three’s a Charm
Aah Aldershot! Come on then, who thought when the fixture list came out last summer that it would all come crashing in like a whirlwind down Gander Green Lane for this final regulation game of yet another epic season for this football club of ours? Fuck off you did. Was always going to be a […]
A State of Pure Inebriation
Did anyone see that coming? Well, I did say last time round that knowing the way that Sutton perform, it would be just our way that we’d lose against Maidenhead and then pull it out of the onion bag against Gravesend & Northfleet Ebbsfleet. But then again, I didn’t actually believe what I said and […]
Fraying at the Edges
It is fair to say that our season is rapidly unravelling. Unravelling in fact at a speed not seen since Sir Edmund Hilary dropped his lucky ball of string when stood just shy of the summit of Everest. Since we briefly returned to the top of the table after narrowly beating Chester back on the […]
