Re: Southend (a) - 9th December - FA Trophy

It's a truly great result, genuinely astonishing and probably is up there with the best of the others. There's a lot of opposition for actual "best ever" result though.

Re: Braintree home tonight

We were talking about this last night. He's certainly a very neat player in what he does, and I assume that coming back from (presumably) an injury he still isn't quite match fit yet but I too have been quite mystified as to why Alfie Whittingham doesn't seem to get a regular start. Dunne does look ...

Re drinks, no more draft cider in the bar! This is the end of civilisation as we know it! Bottles of Magners at 6.50 a throw...no thanks.

We played in the London Senior Cup in the eighties and made the final at least twice. Kingstonian and Fisher wasn't it?

Re: Middlesex Senior Cup 2023-24

Re: Chippenham (Away)

A mention for the very professional commentary team...well done guys, a very good listen and much app...

Re: Those Were The Days; 17th November 1979

Yes, they're great and I especially really enjoy reading the ones from when I started going, i.e. 1980 onwards, but all are interesting.
