Re: Middlesex Senior Cup 2023-24

What is the point of entering the tournament with that approach?? There are plenty of “big” middx sides in the comp who don’t disregard it in this way. We have a squad of 21 players. That includes Alan Julian (injured), James Comley (coach) and Alex Solomon (out on loan). So we have 18 players. We ...

Re: Club historian

Les is our Historian. Well yes of course, and that's how most of us will always think of him, but I just wondered if the paid post had been filled. There's usually an announcement about these things. The job of Kit Man (or person) was advertised too, I don't recall an announcement about that either.

Re: Chippenham (Away)

Couldn't go today but that's another good win, and against a side who have discovered some form themselves lately. Now 3rd and only separated by goal difference behind Aveley. It's getting exciting. 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.

Re: Five years ago this week - Oldham in the FA Cup

My main memories are getting that dodgy penalty and not caring in the slightest about its dubious nature, and also the tactical naivety of continuing to try and keep attacking Oldham when we were a goal up but then just running out of steam.

I'm even closer in Thames Ditton and it's torrential at the moment. Can't be looking good.

Re: Maidstone home on Saturday.

That's a terrific win against a very good side. Mason Bloomfield had his best game for us but the whole team were excellent. Could easily have had a couple more and Maidstone couldn't have complained.

Re: Those Were The Days; 11th November 2017

Always seemed as if Dowson saw Brendan as a bit of a luxury player, when in reality he was brilliant and we should probably have built the side around him.

Re: Those Were The Days; 5th November 1985

Agreed, we were always knocking on the door of something special but luck never seemed to be on our side. League Cup semi final penalty miss again Sutton when leading on aggregate to names one instance. Poor Ricky Walkes was inconsolable after that. Definitely! We always seemed to be finishing in m...
