“Get the fuck out of London, you dumb fucks. Get to Bruges”. I didn’t even know where Bruges fucking was. For a while I’ve been trying to persuade the crew that taking in a game on foreign shores would be a great excuse to get away, have a few beers and take in some strange […]

The Road to Schiphol – Football Abroad
Thursday 24th June 2004. England v Portugal in the European Championships quarter-final and the Three Lions latest predictable failure on penalties in a major international competition. Where were you for it? Some were actually there. Some may even claim they were (why?). Most no doubt watched it on TV. And if you’re one of those, you’re […]
It’s fixtures time!
At last boys & girls, the wait is over. We can finally start planning our lives again. What pubs to drink dry & be thrown out of, what Non-League dives we’ll be traipsing out to & when. Such joy! Hang on. It says here we’ve got Gosport on a tuesday night?? OI! STRUDWICK! We want […]
Calcio
Let’s get it out of the way straight off the bat. I don’t really like Italian football. Yes, it’s very technical and there are plenty of aspects to be admired, but I largely find it dull, boring, negative, cynical and rarely fulfilling. “So why are you bothering to read a book on the history of […]
This is DNHAMO KNIB (Part 2) – Football Abroad
Welcome dear reader, to the second part of our little story about 3 of the old Gandermonium crew finding themselves adrift in a footballing wilderness (not really) before stumbling upon a Ukranian Premier League game to slake their thirst for a match. ANY match. In the first part, the lads discovered that the ladies of […]

This is DNHAMO KNIB (Part 1) – Football Abroad
Here’s a little story I wrote late in the summer of 2009 after returning from a somewhat arduous trek approximately a third of the way around the planet in a tiny car. It involves me, two other Sutton fans, the city of Kyiv and a trip to the Valeriy Lobanovsky stadium. Oh and the search […]

2012/13 Season Review – Part 3
“At last!” we hear you cry “It’s the final installment of the Gandermonium season review! Thank fuck for that! It’s lasted almost as long as the bloody season itself……..” Yeah, well you might complain, but there was a fair bit of this season that was worth remembering. Sadly, we’re usually far too drunk at games […]
2012/13 Season Review – Part 2
So, in Part 1 we left our season hanging in the balance, with the U’s having taken 10 games to get their first victory and staring at the wrong end of the table. Can they improve? Who am I? What time is it? Who are you? Hang on. Why are we telling you all this […]
2012/13 Season Review – Part 1
Ok, we admit it. We (Gandermonium) weren’t exactly around for the whole of this campaign. But the idiots responsible for it certainly were and between us we’ve seen every SUFC game this season (Dukey himself saw every single one!). So we reckon we’re more than qualified to reflect on the mild frustration and ultimately finishing […]
Bye Bye to the Ryman League! – One from the Archives
I’m bored. And you probably are too. So let’s have a little end of season action from the archives to help pass the time with a cup of tea eh? This report harks back to more innocent times. Back when we thought that finishing top 13 in the Ryman and qualifying for the new Conference […]
