Chelsea, Chelsea! Chelsea, Chelsea! We’re going make it a blue day! Damn that song has plagued me since first hearing it in 1997. So to begin today’s blog we must go to the moment that I arrived home, and managed to get the end of the Head to Head on Pointless and what was the question? “Managers under […]
Tag: Pre Season
A Penny for your thoughts….
So it’s back to Juan to cover the third PSF so far. So this time, we are again at home to A.F.C Wimbledon, who sit some 30 places or so above us in the football pyramid. A local bus ride for Wimbledon today, all the way from the ground we love so much, Kingsmeadow. So […]
Salute me or Shoot me
So here we are again, the return of the Firm for another season of drunkenness and stupidity awaits us all. Hey, its what we do best! Of course we will be having the usual away trips that will no doubt produce those one liners for the ever expanding “Why we Bother” section of our blog (which can […]
Bang, bang you shot me down….
So it’s back. And well didn’t that come around quick! Seems like only yesterday that the Season had finished. Say goodbye to your wives, girlfriends, families etc, it’s time to reunite with the beautiful non-league game, oh and of course re-unite with the beer! So time to ditch the other football related content for now, […]
A Stroll By The River Mole
PRE-SEASON FRIENDLY Att: N/A LEATHERHEAD – 0 SUTTON UNITED – 2 [Watkins 3. McBean 24] And so we come to the final friendly. Our now almost customary trip down to Fetcham Grove in Leatherhead to meet the Tanners. A venue that not matter how crap the weather has been recently, always seems to host […]
Taking the Lions Share…
PRE-SEASON FRIENDLY | Att:N/A SUTTON UNITED – 0 MILLWALL – 2 [James 64. Noel 78] After Saturdays somewhat straightforward win over a rather poor looking Brentford outfit, we were hoping that Millwall’s XI would present a somewhat stiffer test as we build up to the new season. Ironically, our ranks have since been boosted by […]
Bees Stung
PRE-SEASON FRIENDLY Att : 427 SUTTON UNITED – 3 [Watkins 35. McBean 65. 82] BRENTFORD – 1 [Ide 68] With the weather remaining somewhat shit and the quite ridiculous decision made at lunchtime to switch the Windsor game from their Stag Meadow ground to some field the other side of town, your less than […]
Whyteleafe? In Pre-Season? Never!
PRE SEASON FRIENDLY Att: N/A WHYTELEAFE – 0 SUTTON UNITED – 3 [Garness 41. McBean 63. Watkins 70] Having missed the opening friendly with Walton due to holidays and then the Dulwich game being washed out (A waterlogged pitch? In July? WTF?), I find myself in the unusual position of not having seen a pre-season […]
Saving Ourselves Perhaps?
PRE-SEASON FRIENDLY Att : N/A LEATHERHEAD – 3 [Stevens 26.40. Charles-Smith 89] SUTTON UNITED – 1 [Gray p90] As final warm ups go, this certainly won’t be getting an entry into any forthcoming instructional books or videos entitled “How to make sure you’re properly prepared & raring to go for that first league […]
Casually Does It
PRE SEASON FRIENDLY Att : N/A CORINTHIAN CASUALS – 0 SUTTON UNITED – 5 [OG 14. Cornwell 23. Tomlin 26.38. Douglas 37] With the cancellation of two early friendlies, I guess it’s not surprising JR went looking for other opponents to help boost our pre-season programme. Fortunately, our old friends and fellow users of […]
