TLFG: 14-20 September 2026

Hi there and welcome to the latest edition of TLFG. How has your week been? For the third weekend running I made it to an Actonians game and one which was much more competitive than the previous two. Those games had both ended in wins and had generated a whopping 19 goals for and two against. The visit of an improving Stevenage, with former Lioness Sian Lingham in charge, was expected to be somewhat tougher and so it proved. I won't go into all the details but it was an open game with decent cha

TLFG: 7-13 September 2026

Welcome to this week's TLFG. I'll keep this preamble brief as I've got to get ready for work, but how have you been? In the last piece I mentioned how I had an American friend coming to town and as a result I wouldn't be able to go to Actonians' game on Sunday. Well plans slightly changed and I was able to go and I think I'm glad I did. I say I think, because it was a landmark day but not much of a competitive spectacle. A little delayed heading out, I arrived at Bedfont Sports about two minutes

TLFG: 1-6 September 2026

Greetings one and all and welcome to the first TLFG of September - yes, autumn is here! I don't know about you, but the transition from summer to autumn has been pretty stark with the heatwaves abating and grey skies and rain coming in pretty much straightaway. Not that I'm complaining about the rain - we badly needed it! My football week has been pretty busy, seeing another two Actonians games. After the win over QPR on Sunday, they were thrown straight back into action against Fulham in anothe

TLFG: 24-31 August 2026

To say I'm on a high at the moment would be an understatement. Sunday afternoon saw the derby between Actonians and QPR played at Bedfont Sports near Heathrow. After some big summer investment, both were tipped to be among the title contenders. On Thursday, in the build up to this, I interviewed the A's new investor/player Steph McCaffrey for the club's podcast and it was clear she was really up for this. She believed that on paper the R's were better but that Actonians' high press and attacking

TLFG: 17-23 August 2026

Greetings one and all and welcome to this week's TLFG. I'm publishing on Monday morning as I'm still down in Kent after travelling down to watch Actonians' first match of the new FAWNL season at Chatham Town. Chatham is on the River Medway alongside Rochester and Gillingham - they are in effect triplet towns or a small city. There's a lot of maritime and literary history around here, with a lot of museums and things to do. Consequently I brought the whole family down and we're staying in Rochest

TLFG: 10-16 August 2026

Welcome to TLFG as the season takes another step towards its full launch. The weekend just gone saw all clubs in the EFL take part in the Carabao Cup and all the remaining leagues below the fourth tier get underway. Clubs in the Championship, League One and League Two play their first league games this weekend before the Premier League finally starts the week after - so we're nearly there. On Saturday I headed back out to the suburbs of north-west London, where I spent my formative years, to wat

TLFG: 3-9 August 2026

Greetings everyone and welcome to the latest TLFG. Despite there being no senior games on Monday or Thursday, it's still a big week with the EFL Cup, National League, Isthmian League, Southern League and FA Cup all getting underway. I'm not sure where I'll go yet but Hilltop in the FA Cup on Friday is fairly handy, whilst QPR and Harrow Borough both have home games on Saturday. Over the last week, I've been to a couple of women's games. On Thursday I headed up to The Hive to watch Barnet's women

TLFG: 27 July - 2 August 2026

Hello and welcome to TLFG for what is the fifth week of pre-season for some and the first week of competition for others. I come into this on the back of a weekend where I watched not one but two games - a rare treat indeed given my normal schedule and commitments! As indicated last week, I was able to go to QPR's entertaining 3-2 win over Fiorentina on Saturday before travelling east to watch Actonians' 4-0 win at Barking on Sunday. The match at Loftus Road was pretty typical pre-season fare wi

TLFG: 20-26 July 2026

Greetings one and all and welcome to this week's TLFG. I've had a pretty busy week again so with it still being pre-season, I've decided not to do any previews again but have picked out a few headline games in the section below instead. Aside from work, I had a pretty eventful football week. Apart from all the England goings-on which we all experienced, I got up to quite a bit. As previewed last time, I announced that this season's Non-League Day will now become a full weekend event at Easter wi

TLFG: 13-19 July 2026

Greetings everyone and welcome to TLFG's guide to the third week of pre-season. I worked all weekend, hence the late publication of this piece. Sadly it's also short of previews as I've simply run out of time - the headline games are in 'The Week Ahead' section below. Aside from that, I announced to the date (27 March) for this season's Non-League Day last week. However, given its the Easter weekend, we're going to spread the event over four days. It will be a huge undertaking but one which cou

TLFG: 6-12 July 2026

Greetings one and all and welcome to TLFG's guide to the second week of pre-season. How was week one for you? I was all set to see a match over the weekend but work intervened so I spent most of it on trains. However, with a day off today (Monday), that left me in a position to watch England's epic win over Mexico in the small hours. And what a game it was! One for the ages and one we'll be talking about decades from now given all the adversity the team overcame. Watford's trip to Meadow Park

TLFG: 29 June - 5 July 2026

Greetings and welcome to TLFG's guide to the opening week of pre-season 2026/27 - it's great to have you here. After a month off, we're back and I have to admit to being very keen to get going despite my warnings of bringing things to an end last season. If I can keep going until October, this blog will reach its 15th birthday which I think is worth doing. So how has your off-season been? Enjoying the World Cup? Have you crossed the Atlantic for a game or are you all set to go? The main news aff

TLFG: 26-31 May 2026

Well I think this is pretty much it from TLFG for this season. There isn't a lot on this week but it's all well worth watching and there are tickets available for pretty much everything so it should be a good few days. With the Premier League and EFL and pretty much everything else now over, I thought I'd quickly round up what the campaign has been like for London clubs. The big story of course was Arsenal finally winning the Premier League. It was touch and go but they finally got over the line

TLFG: 18-25 May 2026

Greetings everyone and welcome to the latest TLFG. Things are really winding down now and we're reliant on youth football for quite a bit of the action this week. It's the EFL play-offs this weekend and, at the time of writing, a legal dispute over spying by Southampton means their match against Hull City at Wembley is in doubt and may well get postponed. A few midweek Premier League games mean I'm going to hold off on previewing the final matches on Sunday. As I mentioned last week, I was all s

TLFG: 11-17 May 2026

Greetings everyone and welcome to one of the last editions of TLFG for this season. First up, apologies for not publishing at all last week - it is a sign of the times I'm afraid with life and simply my energy levels catching up with me. I started this blog 15 years ago to keep my hand in after being made redundant by BBC Sport. It gave me a bit of purpose while I was unemployed and I also had no kids back then - I have two now. The scope of this blog has also increased significantly in the inte
