Hi Random Fans! Another late one i know. I will have to learn to do less on my weekends. Thanks for all you comments so far, some are stranger than others, But all are welcome. With Mac at Worthing it was the return of the Willis to attend with me the visit of Swansea City, to the home of football that is, the Priestfield Stadium. On the way down i was running through a few things from, the Millwall game with Willis. Telling her that we look a lot more likely to score these days and, watch out for the new keeper, flanders. All things considered a draw will do today as they are a good side and i bet that cheatin get, Leon Knight, will try and dive........................Lets see. Gills Kicked off and looked quite ... read more

So, we're on the ferry going to Calais, France right now. London was awesome and I have a feeling it's going to be my favourite city on the trip. The traffic continued throughout the night and I saw drunkards leaving the bar below our room at 6 in the morning when I woke up. I watched a little news at night and a weird version of American Idol but English and the winner got to star in the refreshed musical The Sound of Music. We saw Big Ben, Westminister Abbey, The Tower of London, Buckingham Palace and much more. We either didn't have time to go in anywhere or it was shut. We rode the double decker bus around for 17 pounds. It was a hop-off, hop-on type thing and it was really cool and convenient, ... read more

Hola,well its come to end of my prep week before i go and i dont think ive ever crammed so much drinking into seven days.It all started in Manchester last Weds with a farewell meal with the lads.After eating our fill and wadling to the pub to watch the England game the drinks started flowing,namely sambucca and i think Mr tequila reared his ugly head.At closing time there was the hardcore who fancied a bit of town action and feeling slightly wan*ered we piled into a mini bus.As we approached the door i could see the face of the duty meathead change as he scanned my flipflops and cut offs, followed with the "Not wearing those mate"sentance that he must have said for the thousanth time.Piling back into the taxi we decided on a grungy student ... read more

I'm startin with apologies. This blog is 2 days late due to the fact that i was tired after the game and thought i'll do it 2moz. Then came home with a migraine and that was the end of that. Anyway, brace yourself. Gillingham vs Millwall. This game used to be high on my list of most anticipated game of the season. But recently they've been a little lacklustre. I think the main reason was no Hess or Saunders to go straight through someone and spark a riot. The crowd's have been a bit poor as well, and many people tend to stay away because it's Millwall and the under 14's might get out of their prams!! Well, surprised was i when i turn up at the ground and find it packed. Millwall looked to have ... read more

A glass of champagne, one miller light, four glasses of wine, and a vodka tonic later I landed in London. It was hot, and I was wandering around with 679543068957 lbs (a small exageration) of luggage. This meant only one thing... I better find a pub, and quick. I don't remember the name of that pub, but its where I had my first time with a real guiness, and I was ready for it!! 9am here drinking a guiness ... I was still on Kentucky time, it was like an after hours drink. By the way mom, when you read this blog and future blogs, replace the words "Guiness" and "Pint" with "Fruit Juice" and "Bottled Water", while alternating "Church" and "Class" for "Pub" After the seduction of the guiness I sped off with my 679530907257 ... read more

Gills vs Scumthorpe. Our first home evening ko. Nice and warm under the floodlights. Friday night games are a bit rare down here but i was looking forward to this one. Nevermind. Honestly, we flew out of the traps tonite, right from the kick off. Jarvis to mullers, back again then out wide and forced a corner. After 3 mins we'd had 3 chances and after 10 mins we'd had 5. Most players had a chance to score for us in the first half hour. For me Flynn was most guilty misssing an easy lob and Jarvis most unlucky. Big Dave needs to learn that after beating 5 players to lay the ball off. He must be a bitch to play against at 5-aside. Jupp missed a free header. So u know wots comming don't ya. ... read more

Gills vs Northampton Cobblers, no actually it was true. But also a load of cobblers!! RandomMan and Willis were joined today by not only the returning Mr and Mrs Stamp, but Mr and Mrs D! They had scavanged tickets off their mate "clive". Well, after my last glowing report, we had lost 2 away from home but all reports saying defeat was unjust and points were deserved from both games. Not so today. Basically we were poor from the start. It just didn't happen at all. everyone now knows that Jarvis is our best player, and that Flynn likes to shoot from distance!! They marked them 2 out of the game and we did the rest of the damage our selves. New Keper Kelvin Jack was out injured - Spotted outside the ground in his suit ... read more

Two days to go now and so much has happened. I have had a few panic attacks about renting my house out, will they love my garden, will they talk to my lemon and olive plants and will they promise never, ever to play hide the sausage in my beautiful white bed? Apparently you can’t really put stuff like that in the lettings contract which seems somewhat unfair. If A-list celebs can make ridiculous demands about their dressing rooms, why can’t I make perfectly reasonable minor additions to a standard contract? Over the past few weeks I have had health/eye/dental checks and all my jabs. Did you know that if you cough as they are about to put the needle in you don’t feel it - somehow it slightly breaks the pain connection for a nanosecond ... read more

***Kim's Post backpacking thoughts*** Well they always say home is were the heart is and i must say its true. Being back is good and bad. Must admit that i didn't realise how much i'd missed everyone and it was so good to see everyone again. The suprise went brilliantly, I nearly gave my mum a heart attack, made my sister bawl her eyes out and well, as for Megs, I think she thought i was a spirit! She wouldn't talk to me for ages and kept asking my mum what i was doing there! But I am missing the whole travelling lark. Must admit though if I ever see a train again it'd be to soon!! I'm back in the swing of things already, dam it. I have a job but it is 9 til ... read more

Hi RandomMan fans, The close season was far too long, world cup disappointment again, and the blues lost their best two players. Lots of new faces were brought in but how would they do. Read on for a better review than any sunday newspaper which only gives 2 paragraphs for league one, and its all me own work honest!! Gills Vs Huddersfeild Town. To be honest, i thought a draw would be good as they only lost out in the playoffs last year and kept same players and added fat boy Luke Beckett. Fat he is but also a goal machine against us!! I went early to watch the players warm up and got some close up views when, as part of a new routine the players do some sprints right in front of the RainhamEnd! ... read more
