Liverpool and Manchester United were new to starting out as Europa League teams. Liverpool, for the second time in fifteen years had sold for more money than bought. Manchester United’s response? Spend $370 million on transfers in! United can be scary when they get serious. They brought in Edon Lopes, the best Portuguese striker inContinue reading “Kings of London | Season 16 | The Most Competitive Season Yet”

After a lot of waiting, we have finally returned from our diaspora to Kingston upon Thames. Although we didn’t generate a lot of fans until we had climbed into the upper reaches of the Football League, I’d like to think that our club president, part of the fan consortium that bought the club a fewContinue reading “Kings of London | Season 15 | Welcome to Kingstonian Stadium”

We are finally leaving England! Okay, sure, we’ve left before for preseason games but this is the real deal now! The top of the Premier League is brutally brilliant but how well has the rest of the world fared? Here are the past winners of the Europa league: That’s 6 English champions, 5 for Germany,Continue reading “Kings of London | Season 14 | Eurotrip”

Despite having enough money for Danny Johnson, he fancied his chances at Fulham instead. After that rejection, it was time to figure out how to take the next step forward after two straight 11th place finishes. While I thought we could add up to 10 new players, prices for transfers that would actually impact ourContinue reading “Kings of London | Season 13 | Stepping Towards Europe”

Well, it’s about time we moved. Too bad it’s not into a new home. We go to Craven Cottage, a 25,700 capacity stadium and Fulham’s home. Considering our previous rental dwelling had a capacity of just under 9,000, this move was necessary just so we could have a good day at the gates when weContinue reading “Kings of London | Season 12 | Moving into Craven Cottage”

So. Much. Money. Man, it feels great to throw financial caution to the wind. Especially after a decade of narrow margins due to the club’s homeless status. No change on that front, by the way. Let’s see who we’ve brought in to try to survive our first year in the Premier League. Transfers Let’s startContinue reading “Kings of London | Season 11 | New Goals”

Based on the team’s ratings last season, we should have had better results. So I didn’t plan on making big changes. The big reason is that we still had not been given our own stadium. I thought the owners would once we became a Championship club. I then thought they would after we beat WolvesContinue reading “Kings of London | Season 10 | An Unexpected Rebuild”

On loan from Brighton, Connor Jones walked onto the pitch where Kingstonian was practicing and just knew things would be different. He had been kept on the bench the entire previous season as Brighton flailed in the Premier League to an 18th place finish and relegation. Figuring he’d get more playing time in the Championship,Continue reading “Kings of London | Season 9 | The Connor Jones Story”

Going into the second season in League One, I knew we had one position locked down: the left winger. You may be wondering who I brought in to fill this role but you’d be wrong – the solution was in front of me for an entire season and I didn’t even know it: Play KwameContinue reading “Kings of London | Season 8 | Six New Impact Players”

We garnered quite a lot of points during the previous campaign – and I felt our quality was enough to see us do well higher up the football pyramid. But a disaster of a beginning to the season left the team in disarray, especially after all of the new faces we brought in. Check itContinue reading “Kings of London | Season 7 | The AFC Wimbledon Rivalry Continues”
