How Low Can You Go?
FA TROPHY 3rd QUALIFYING ROUND REPLAY Att : 252 SUTTON UNITED – 0 UXBRIDGE – 1 [Swift 28] Now, I realise that these reports do convey pretty much how I saw the game. But, in a case such as this where we were so utterly bad, I also realise that even my colourful use […]
Shame Shit, Different Cup
FA TROPHY 3rd QUALIFYING ROUND Att : 204 UXBRIDGE – 2 [Nicholls 37. Swaysland 54] SUTTON UNITED – 2 [Elliot 22. Castledine 90] Now, I’m all for maintaining traditions and that, but this is getting ridiculous. Yet again, we’ve faced lower ranked oppo in an FA Competition and failed miserably to make our […]
Slide Halted……Just
CONFERENCE SOUTH Att : 581 SUTTON UNITED – 1 [OG 85] NEWPORT COUNTY – 1 [Belle 55] I bloody hate missing games. Especially for little or no reason. And that’s what I faced last week. Missing out because you’re utterly skint is one thing. Missing out because your flat has no heating, is freezing fucking […]
A Woman’s Perspective
CONFERENCE SOUTH Att : 513 EASTLEIGH – 2 [Forbes 89. 90] SUTTON UNITED – 0 Match Reporter: Mrs Chalmers Unfortunately, a slight cashflow problem and faulty central heating (in a secret Volcano lair, I know, embarrassing right?) at Gandermonium HQ meant I had to give our first ever visit to Eastleigh a miss. This […]

CONFERENCE SOUTH Att : 628 SUTTON UNITED – 1 [Gonsalves 87] LEWES – 5 [Sigere 1. 8. 17. 53. Kennet 40] Look, it’s no use trying to rub some imaginary sleep from your eyes like it was some sort of bad dream or horrible nightmare. I know, ‘cos I’ve tried! It really did […]
Muffed It
CONFERENCE SOUTH Att : 1703 WEYMOUTH – 3 [Elam 2. Jackson 42. Bounder 90] SUTTON UNITED – 1 [Watkins 46] It’s the end of October. So that must mean a weekend in Weymouth! Almost exactly 12 months to the day since we last travelled to Dorset for a match at the Wessex, we’re […]
No Drums Allowed!
CONFERENCE SOUTH Att : 495 SUTTON UNITED – 2 [Akuamouah 16. Cornwall 28] EASTBOURNE BOROUGH – 0 Strange. Can anyone tell me quite why all of a sudden, after weeks of sitting about & doing fuck all on Tuesday nights, we’ve suddenly out of the blue been given a midweek game? Admittedly, it’s been […]
Yabba Dabba Do!
CONFERENCE SOUTH Att : 640 SUTTON UNITED – 4 [Quinton 6. 24. Akuamouah 53. Cornwall 76] ST ALBANS CITY – 0 If you scroll back up a bit, you’ll see that after the disappointing performance down in Basingstoke, I commented “Saturday in Chippenham should be a right laugh!”. Well, it fucking wasn’t. It was […]
When The Chips Are Down
FA CUP 3rd QUALIFYING ROUND Att : 725 CHIPPENHAM TOWN – 1 [Allison 2] SUTTON UNITED – 0 When the draw was made, being paired with Chippenham received a mixed reaction from the gang. On one hand, it was a bit of a day out on the train, to somewhere we’d never visited before and […]
