The day began with the usual stomp towards the station on a overcast Saturday morning. There was time for me to get some dollar out and grab a can of the old doctor before hitting up the ticket man for a one day travel card (£5.90 with a railcard). To my surprise I was not just met […]

No Comment Ref!
The final pre-season match is finally over, the wait for the actual season is nearly at its end. One more final game against Cambridge and then we can all get down to the real business. to be honest pre-season can be very much an experience like watching an Etch-A-Sketch in a sandstorm. Now is the […]
It’s Just Not Natural
The Firm is on an outing to Kent. Our destination is a little town by the name of Maidstone. I wouldn’t say its like a famous five or secret seven sort of trip because basically its an excuse to get steaming in a foreign land. And you never know there is a slight chance that a game […]
I Always Thought Wimbledon was in Merton
What is all this two games in two day bollocks? How am I supposed to prepare for another season of blogging and drinking when I don’t have to time to collect my thoughts in the appropriate manner? Anyway never mind all that bollocks, I just want to take a couple of moments of your precious […]
I Played Twenty Minutes!
What’s that I hear? The old boys from the Coventry game are playing in a little match before we entertain Reading?

Fuck me we are back again! And like a bad dose of the clap we’ve returned leaner, meaner and damn right more thirsty for action & alcohol. The first trip of the 2014/15 was to be a little adventure to Hampshire to take on Our Lord Dos’ local team Winchester City who play in the Wessex league. […]
5-1 to the Sutton Boys! (Belgrade Pt2) – Football Abroad
In part one, Juan took you through the thrilling tale of a romantic sunset over beers, a tour at Partizan, nosing about at Red Star, meeting some nice Delije chaps and seeing enough silverware to give a Brasso salesman a raging hard on and thoughts of early retirement. Up next, it’s Dukey to run you […]

Kamikaze
For fuck sake, I can’t fuckin’ believe it. Wasn’t that just a fuckin’ kick in the teeth or what? I feel as depressed as going on a tandem on holiday in Centre Parcs. After 24hrs since our season came to a bitterly disappointing end, I still feel absolutely gobsmacked! With what had started as a small dream soon became a […]
All Things Brighton Beautiful
Something happened at work this week that could sum up the strangeness of this member of the Firm. After two fellas couldn’t work out if on Wednesday if it was St George’s day or not, I simply remarked that of course it is, didn’t they know? St George’s day is always three days after Hitler’s birthday and everyone knows that! And so […]
You Lose Some, You Win Some
Easter is the time where we celebrate the resurrection of Christ and foundation of the Christian faith passed on the principals that have been laid down by God to his chosen people. 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 […]
