Picture this (if you can), there I was, inside a Kentucky Beef restaurant, Joe Pesci is standing in the corner singing his 1998 non-hit “Wiseguys”, Alec Stewart is regaling to me of the time he scored a century, in his century and on the Queen Mother’s century. And I’m not too sure if it was Jason […]

0239 265 4321. Hello Aqua!
We’re now half way through the pre-season calendar and let’s face it, I doubt very much it will be that memorable. Three games down, we’ve seen three goals, all in the last ten minutes. Shots have been at a premium and any vague entertainment is soon forgotten. So would a trip to Portsmouth be any […]
The Walter Pigeon Club
Can you believe that this was going to be the tenth time that we have entertained the boys from Hemel? Oh yes my children, it was just a mere three and a half years ago that we arrived in Hertfordshire for an FA Cup tie that was to be the first time that our two […]
Gandermonium Film Review – ‘Goal!’
Can you believe I’m actually doing another film review for this bleedin’ blog? Well I say ‘doing’ as most of this was actually written back in the old Conf South days. Now some might say that this is a sign that the boredom of life without Sutton is starting to kick in, but I’ll say […]
Hairy Chesters
Don’t worry, we’re nearly there now. It won’t be long before we can all take a break from the ups and downs of yet another Sutton United season and just turn our heads to other pursuits. I don’t know, something like watching cricket? Or maybe taking the wife to B&Q on a Saturday? Or even […]
Three Blows to the Heed
As we arrive at the traditional Easter weekend double-header, I’m still rather surprised to realise that this year’s campaign is very nearly over. I mean, it seemed to be going on and on at one point. But with Chocolate Egg weekend being a little late this year, we only have four games remaining. Four bloody […]
Deacon’s Thunderbolt
So with a mere eight games to go in what will no doubt be a semi-memorable season (I doubt Dover at home will be forgotten for a while that’s for sure!), it was the turn of possible league champions Lincoln to visit the old Borough Sports Ground. And after the near demolition of North Ferriby […]
The No Smoking Loza
So we’re back at the Gallagher once again. Last time round it was a midweek contest that had second place Maidstone try and ultimately fail in stopping our charge towards the Conference South title. This time round it’s a little different. 18th vs 19th. Still, at least we both ended up going up at the […]
7 Balls & a Beaver
How’s your luck, eh? Not for the first time this season (and probably not the last), our performance away from home doesn’t reflect in the result. And in a results-driven business these days, that’s all that matters. So with eleven games to go, Sutton were still a little short of the safety mark. Would a […]
I Left my Guts to Barrow
Do you know that I was beginning to believe that Sutton’s consecutive run in the GM Vauxhall National Conference without a clean sheet was going to go the distance. It seemed that I’d be telling my mini-dukes of the great heroics of when Sutton beat Gateshead 9-0 back in September 1990. And how it was […]
