Well that was probably to be expected then really wasn’t it? I held onto my optimism for as long as I could. But the moment it evaporated was probably just as Mr X read out the team line-up as we walked from the car to the ground. Here was where I’d realise that my dreams […]

New Year, Same Old Sutton
Bugger the Happy New Year and all that bloody bollocks. I’m a Sutton United supporter don’t you know! And I might be getting old (very slowly), but nothing seems new to me from the 24 hours before. Then again, only twenty four hours ago I was drinking in an Irish bar in Morden. And I […]
Turtle Turnstile
WE’RE BACK! Well maybe a little. But if you were ever to bump into Magnum P.I. on your travels, you’d understand. WE’RE BACK! to Halifax. WE’RE BACK! to a supposedly cheap day on the drink. WE’RE BACK! To where some of us spent an overnight during the Beast of the East (Not to be confused […]
When the Rain Stops
We’re back! Well that was what Magnum P.I. shouted out as we were just about to use the lil’ boys room after the game at Mill Farm. The question is, was that an opinionated remark about the football that he’d just witnessed? Or was he simply just talking to himself, and his lil’ fella as […]
It Braint Our Luck Sometimes
Oh the excitement! What more could any Sutton supporter want but with a cold, wet & windy midweek trip to Essex to face a team currently at the foot of the table? If for a second, we forget the silly saying of “there are no easy games at this level” and instead consider the cold […]
4 Minute Delay
Oh great, it’s another Gandermonium Firm away trip ‘Oop North’. And it’s a return to the North-East for this episode. Needless to say, the financial expenses that come with supporting a national non-league team are never ending these days. But would we like to revert the clock back a few years where the highlight would […]
Tuff Stuff Sluff
So the magic of the cup has once again graced us with her presence back down the Lane. And it’s always nice once in a while to get away from the weekly grime & grind of standard league football. But with our recent spate of somewhat iffy-like performances of late, this might not have been […]
The Infernal Derby
For the third match in a row, Sutton are once again involved in a little wet spot of cup action. From the lows of seeing the boys being one penalty away from an Irn Bru Quarter-final match against East Fife, to the wonder that is football, with a crackin’ topsy-turvy FA Cup victory against the […]
Top o’the Mornin’ to Ya
Damn the bloody penalty shoot-out! It can be such a cruel way to decide a football match. They really should just bring back the old school skool way of drawing lots or even just replay the match until there is a winner. That would be easier to stomach instead of watching your team go out […]
A Bru-Dash-Ik Experience
There is a little saying in football often referred to by us old timers that goes along the lines of “a good days drinking is usually spoilt by the ninety minutes of football”. Well, once again, and not for the first bloody time, this was very true as the boys of the Firm made the […]
