“My wife said she fancied a romantic summer evening down by the Thames.” “Hampton Court?” “You’re not kidding, I could barely whip it out quick enough.” My favourite comedian of all time is music hall legend Max Miller – the Cheeky Chappie – banned for life from the BBC for his famous Blue Book of […]
Chinese Palm Trees
After finally decontaminating myself after going deep into enemy lines at K’s midweek, it was time for young Robbo to take the reins and return to Gandermonium blog duties! The next opponents in our pre-season programme was Crystal Palace…not the first team but a select eleven. So it was a thought as to whom would […]
Special K’s
Ah, Kingstonian. Who would’ve thought, a mere five miles separates the two grounds, but it is two clubs that, for the time being, are going in different directions. As we are about to engage in a 9th season at the top of the non-league pyramid, K’s are once again trying to get out of the […]
A Shit Akinfenwa?
Normally, the return of the football season wold be a reason to be cheerful. Sadly, if like me you’re a self-made jobless twat and have had to sell that pot you were pissing in to cover the mortgage, then it really isn’t that great. Especially when your 5 first aways are at new grounds and […]
A Tale of Two Halfs
Every year we always say the same thing, and every year we never actually go through with it. The old “I’m not going to watch any of the pre-season,” line is always banded around at this time of year. But once again we all found our way down to Gander Green Lane for the first […]
Sad All Over
As we’re Non-Leaguers, our FA Cup interest usually begins somewhere around SeptemberOctober time. And frequently ends around then too. But if we’re really lucky we might get to stumble through a couple of rounds, pinch a few FA Pounds for the kitty and get our name in the paper. So when the Final rocks round […]
2015/2016 Season Review – Part 3
So, in Part 2 we were knocked out of the Trophy and then let back in, the boys really started picking up some points in the league and then front runners tantalisingly started dropping some. Which has made things rather exciting for the last part of our season review for a fucking change! Do we […]
2015/2016 Season Review – Part 2
In Part 1 after a slow-ish start and a mildly disappointing FA Cup exit, it’s all eyes on the League now. Sadly, that’s not gone quite as well as we’d hoped so far and the leading teams are already seemingly miles ahead of us. Plus we’ve already shed our captain. So it’s time to pull […]
2015/2016 Season Review – Part 1
With the season done & dusted and celebratory hangovers to be dealt with, here’s the first part of our Annual end of season filler material Season Review. Like most seasons, we don’t start particularly quickly. But unlike last season, we do at least improve a bit over the course of the 9 months. Quite a lot […]
Time Gentleman Please
It’s six o’clock on a Saturday morning. My dreams of a jelly wrestling competition in a paddling pool involving Jamie Lee Curtis & Sigourney Weaver are rudely interfered with by the Soviet nation anthem, “Soyuz nerushimy respublik svobodnykh” bellowing out at this ungodly hour for a weekend morning from my phone. I would’ve put the […]
