October. It’s been long old month and no mistake. We kicked off with the schlep up to Barrow, then all got pissed about by Ryan Air in getting our arses over the Irish Sea to Dublin for the Irn Bru clash with Bohemians. Then we actually got to use some travelcards for last week’s stumble […]

Welcome dear readers to another pointless and mildly absurd episode of your favourite Non-League football drinking blog. We hope you enjoyed our recent little European interlude as well as Totts special on the old Mitcham Stadium, which has proved to be somewhat popular and may indeed spawn a semi-regular feature on these here pages. However, […]
Salty Protein
It’s fair to say the recent form of Sutton United FC has been a little up and down. A 4-0 Tuesday night humping by Boredom Wood, a 3-0 win over Wrexham and then a 2-2 draw against 10 man bottom side Dover having been 2-0 up early on is the sort of run that has […]
Made from Gur-durs!
Did you hear the one about English 5th Tier teams being invited to play in the Scottish Challenge Cup this season? Hey, what are you laughing at? What, do we amuse you? This isn’t some sort of silly joke, this is serious! No, you fuck off. Right that’s it sunshine, fucking outside now! Nope, we […]
Flat Batteries
Now, normally for these things we’d fill in this part with some sort of pre-amble bollocks that has a vague connection to what then follows. Well, sometimes at least. It’s mostly just rambling rubbish designed to pad the piece out and make us look like we’ve put some thought or genuine effort into it all. […]
Fleeting Popularity
Popularity. It can be a fleeting experience. Or so I’m told. Being ginger and a non-league football fan, I of course wouldn’t have a fucking clue about such things but I am at least well advised by people who are experienced in such matters. It’s also a feeling our beloved U’s have come to know […]
Delia’s Early Start
So, here we are boys & girls, another ‘exciting’ pre-season campaign comes to a close and we’re now just a mere seven days away from the start of the season itself. What’s that? “Thank fuck”? Yes, quite. There’s only so many half arsed walks in baking sunshine even the saddest and most dedicated Non-League saddo […]
CONIFA 2018 Day 6 – From Last to First
As we got deeper and deeper into the CONIFA Rabbit hole, a certain route to the finish became clear to me. With the final scheduled for 6pm at Enfield and the 15th v 16th Place Play off at 12 down in Bedfont at the end of the Heathrow runways it meant that I could see […]
CONIFA 2018 DAY 5 – Brucie, Billy and the Magyars
If you hadn’t already guessed, the last few days have mostly been a blur of going to football, watching football, taking pictures of football and then writing about football. And this means that the good lady has had to put up with this football bollocks a bit longer than she normally would in a regular […]

CONFIA 2018 Day 4 – HUN-GA-RIA For Success
So, here we are then. The nitty gritty, the serious stuff, the exciting bit. The group stages are done, we’ve lost half of our 16 teams (except we haven’t really as they’re all playing Placement games until Saturday, but we’ll ignore that for now) and we’re now into the knockout stages of what’s so far […]
