I work for Sainsbury's deep in Palace/Dulwich Hamlet territory. Chatting to a Palace supporter earlier, he was quite confident that they'd get a result.

πŸ˜„ Video footage of an amazing save turned up on an AFC Wimbledon WhatsApp group. My response? That's why he's England's No.1.

They can FRO. We've spent money developing these players so we deserve the pittance they give us. Should be more.

I've seen the goals. Not sure about Ossie's goal celebration but Kai's goal was a cracker. Bodes well for next season and gets you another step closer to safety.

A Sunday again? Could there be a Friday or post match Saturday one at some point?

We started badly and went in 0-2 down at half time. We turned it around and won 5-3. I don't get to many AFC Wimbledon Women's matches due to work but I stuck it out and am so glad I did.

Different times. Shades of Carry on Doctor.

I also lost a lot of blood and had to have a transfusion. Very worrying for my parents watching their 6yo go through that as the cause was unknown and my great grandfather was in the same hospital dying of Leukemia.

I was as right as rain within a couple of weeks.

A thing about tonsils in the 60s was it was the done thing to have your child's tonsils removed. Subsequently the waiting list was about six months from seeing the consultant.

I was wasting away due to frequent bouts and not being able to eat. I was admitted within two weeks. @samwhyte.bsky.social

Kai out of favour?

There was always beef between Sutton and Carshalton. Despite not having played each other for 15 years or more (county cups aside) Sutton supporters have always celebrated match anniversaries against their borough adversaries. Not that I blame them.

I went there once for a men's league match but our women played there for a while so I watched a few matches there.

Other than winning 5-2 when I went, my abiding memory of Tamworth was the amazing pubs and the friendliness of the Tamworth supporters.

I did go twice but was driving the first time.

We won the Conference South in 2009 and I can't even remember the trophy. Getting bladdered after beating St Albans for the title to be confirmed, I can remember. Not my finest day.

I get my furniture from British Heart Foundation. They've had my no longer needed stuff and I've bought from them.

Absolutely flipping brilliant. 16 years old, blown away by Sultans of Swing back in the day. That just adds to it. If only he'd been on stage at Woburn in 1992. I was there, heavily pregnant.

That looks really interesting but I'll be at AFC Wimbledon for a 12:30 kickoff. Any other events?

I didn't watch it. Although the BBC text updates were highly amusing. Well done Emlyn Begly

I might be up for the Snoopy walk providing the start time isn't too early - I'm not a morning person. Then again, I'd want to do the entire walk (no tubes or buses) and enjoy and photograph the exhibits and look at them in great detail. You'd probably get bored and I wouldn't blame you.

Most of South London has Wheelie bins so it's slim pickings. Plenty of rodents though - my 15 year old cat still brings them in occasionally.

At least it looks healthy. Many urban foxes are anything but and are often limping due to road collisions. They will dash across the road at night.

Including one of my customers. He's a Newcastle supporting exile who hails from Gateshead. He watches Gateshead when they're playing in and around London.

I'm at football most Saturdays but I'm at a loose end next weekend due to us being dumped out of the FA Cup by a team two leagues below.

My first London art tour since the amazing book benches in 2013 (I think).

Cheers for that. We've not got a match next week.
