Yesterday, I finally went along to @claptoncfc.co.uk, who play at London's oldest senior football ground
Here's my write-up on Substack

I remember making that mistake at the time. Amoo just looks so happy in that photo that he seems to claim the goal in my head!

Very sad loss.

Proud of the players refusing to play behind closed doors, and the Clapton and Dulwich fans coming together was a special moment.
If we lose Graham, then I'm sure we're losing an inspiring motivator in the dressing room, as well as a big media presence and the league's top goalscorer.
A big job to replace these.
In the Open Goal interview with Graham, it appeared to be Wilson who was working on detailed analysis of opponents and leading training. He appeared to take on tactical oversight in games. He's clearly keen to push youth players.
This is probably the right direction for us.
All the best, Mark! Looking forward to seeing your Jags team in action.

What a legend Brian Graham is.
Loving the scene in a central London bar, with a gaggle of intoxicated Glaswegians around a telly singing about the wonderfulness of Maryhill.

Football is a glorious, glorious game.

What an achievement for the Jags, getting the 6 points they needed from the top two teams as The Championship title went to the wire.
I'd written off our hopes, and don't see us doing much in the play-offs, but I'm massively proud to be there again.
So, this wasn't an April Fools...

Wonderful gesture of support from tonight's opposition.
Good luck to the team today!
Gutted to miss a big cup game.
It feels like a miracle that no-one died that day. I left because there was a queue for the bar.
I'm so glad that my friends who stayed are OK.
