Stoned
It always seems to happen when I go away, doesn’t it? A (s)crappy win away, first round proper for the first time in the AFCW era, a league club at home and on telly to boot. Perhaps I ought to bugger off more often? First things first. Thank you AFCW for my birthday present on

Beware of hawkers
So, what shall I say about Vultures 3 Hawks 0? Well, it was cold, there were a lot of people and even Tintin Haydon turned up. Oh, and we played pretty well. Actually, for once we can justify the post-game hype. While our actual play was similar to parts at Newport and Basingstoke, this was

Continuing my usual don’t-really-cover-evening-games-unless-I-want-to-say-something approach to, er, evening games there was something quite pleasing about last night. I know before Suburb of Wimbledon 3 Suburb of Frenzyville 0 we all had our (more than) slight concerns about it. Another lackisadical performance, stumbling its way painfully to extra time before the ultimate heartbreak of penalties? Be
