Ah Leeds, one of the final bastions of virgin territory that has yet to see the Gandermonium boys inflict their trademark idiocy upon it. Well, virgin territory is a bit of a lie as several of the Firm have already sampled the place that invented Jelly Tots in the past. Oh yeah, full of information […]

A Flange of Flamingos
Ah Ha! Our trip to Birmingham has finally arrived. Seems like a lifetime ago when I passed over a crisp tenner to a Gandermonium Travel’s executive organiser for this one. And yet it never occurred to me that this was going to be a long trip. Especially when you realise that your return leg departs […]
The Third Best Team in Cambridge?
The magic of the cup is back once again for Sutton. And this time it’s another trip ‘Oop North’ to take on some more football league opposition. Cambridgeshire is the county and Cambridge is the town city and surprisingly enough for once it’s not to visit to Milton Road. Well you can’t go there anyway now as […]
Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey Hangers
So the boys are back on the road once again and this time it’s only the matter of a simple 530 mile round trip. For Saturday saw Sutton make the journey to the second most Northerly team in the division to take on another one of those bloody ex-league clubs. For the first time ever, […]
The Not So Great Trowbridge Debate
Sorry sports fans it is I, the Duke, here once again. Not wanting to wear out our beloved Chairman Totts of the People’s Republic of West Sutton, I’m back in the driving seat once again. And for this game it was the first ever visit to the KCS GGL for Kirkham & Wesham, sorry AFC Fylde, […]
Made from Whales
Being top of the league has been a bit of a fool’s errand recently with teams failing to remain at the summit for longer than the following game. Compare that to two years ago and you had just three teams at the top all season. Sutton were no exception as every time we had risen […]
Who Needs Tarpey?
So what is up with this season then? Have the footballing Gods decided to completely reverse our form from last season? Let us not forget, we only won two games away from home all of last year and we’ve already eclipsed that by the end of August. But it does seem that at home we’re […]
Getting Goosed by the Maid
Well that lasted long didn’t it? Our stay at the summit of non-league football is already over, but as it’s the Bank Holiday Weekend we might be actually be top again by the time you read this on Monday. so this will probably make no sense at all. Wanting to do something a little different […]
The Table Doesn’t Lie
Gordon Bartlett Bennett, we’ve only gone and bloody done it haven’t we? Top of the league, best of the best, the crème de la crème, the tutti frutti, the Gino Ginelli. And before we get too carried away with foreign sounding words, let’s just stop and relax for moment. So take a pew, stick a […]
Big Mountain
Ah yes, Eastleigh. The little club outside Southampton that are not only former Hampshire Midweek Floodlit Cup winners but a bloody place that we have never won under Our Lord Dos. You would have to go back to a Ross Montague double nearly ten years ago for the last (and only!) time we got 3 […]
