In the immortal words of Dante Hicks, “I’m not even supposed to be here today!”. Yes folks, despite having accepted the kind offer of Mr Clarke to have a pop at some awayday bloggage for this weekend’s schlep down to Exeter (and very good it is too!), allowing me the opportunity to just get pissed […]

Poundland Cyberman
I’d first like to thank the top brass at Gandermonium for letting me contribute my debut Sutton United match blog. I’ve thrown some random pieces in the pot before on subjects as diverse as Sunday League football and trips down 1980’s English waterways which should surely have put them off. However like lambs to the […]
Uncomfortably Muggy
It’s been all go in the Republic this week. Big news and big moves being made all over the shop, but the biggest of all was of course the lads getting their historic first FL win on Saturday against Stevenage, which finally got that monkey off our backs after a couple of late disappointments recently. […]
Half Cut Gratin
Whilst everyone tries their very best to get back to normal and basically forget the Covidbollocks ever happened, last week’s postponement was a bitter reminder that the pesky lil’ virus is still lurking and looking to screw around with our pre-arranged leisure plans. Thankfully though, it was at least a fairly local game that got […]
Getting a Pizza the Nigels
I think it was some rebel traitor against the Crown who once remarked that there was “only two things certain in life: death and taxes”. Well, we here at Gandermonium would like to add a third point to that statement and that’s “if there is some sort of Micky Mouse cup that Sutton are going […]
Saucy Postcards
I’m something of a connoisseur of popular culture. Never tried to hide it. Never needed to. I like those glimpses of life that open a window into a world that’s passed by. Adverts in old football programmes are a rich source of such snippets but I’m here right now to open this loosely branded “match […]
Any Old Iron
Jump on jump in, next ride! Yes folks, we are back once more for the fourth and final part of our opening “Can’t grow grass” Football League opening salvo tour of England. Oh and Wales of course. We can’t forget the Welshists or our inbox will be full of hate mail before you can say […]
Built, Not Bought
Tell you what, this League 2 lark is a bit of a stretch innit? Four away games to kick off the campaign thanks to GGL’s new environmentally friendly playing surface not being ready means that after 18 months of largely inactivity, some of our wallets and livers are gonna be pushed to the limits this […]
Slipped Through Our Fingers
Take a deep breath. Just relax. It’s all over now. We all know that this is going to be one of those seasons. And not just full of the usual highs & lows that a normal one would bring. There’ll be a few of those magical moments that will stay with you for a bit […]
Foot & Mouth
Here it is folks. Our first ever game in the Football League. And as befits our now full time professional Bertie big bollocks status, we here at Gandermonium will be changing tack this season to bring you a more considered, thoughtful and fact based approach with lots of match detail, discussion on new signings, stats […]
