TLFG: 26 October - 1 November 2026

Greetings one and all and welcome to this week's TLFG. I come into the start of the week feeling a bit flat after watching Actonians slip to a rather unexpected defeat to Marine Academy Plymouth (MAP) in the Women's FA Cup First Round on Sunday. Although playing at the same level, the Devon club have struggled in their division this season and with home advantage, the A's were fancied to progress. The hosts did dominate but the final ball frequently let them down and good chances were few and fa

TLFG: 19-25 October 2026

Greetings and welcome to this week's TLFG. How has your week been? I managed to get to QPR's midweek 4-1 win over Derby County at Loftus Road - it was my first time watching the first team this season and it was pretty impressive to say the least. However, normal service resumed on Saturday with a 3-0 loss at Birmingham City. Typical! Anyway, this week's guide is a bit fuller than the last couple so hopefully you get something useful out of it. Right, I don't have much more to add so have a grea

TLFG: 12-18 October 2026

Greetings everyone and welcome to this week's TLFG. Again, I've been really pushed for time this weekend so it's just match maps at this stage. The highlights of the week include the return of the men's Champions League including the first "home" game for Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk who are playing all their European fixtures at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge. Greek side AEK Athens visit on Wednesday and tickets seem to be in plentiful supply from around £45. Aside from that, there is a full roun

Greetings everyone and welcome to this week's TLFG. Again, I've been really pushed for time this weekend so it's just match maps at this stage. The very long men's international break ends this weekend so the Premier League and Championship make their return. Before it ends, England entertain Czechia at Wembley on Tuesday in a UEFA Nations League game but there are also a load of games in the EFL, National League, FA Vase and FAWNL. For something a little unusual, the final round of games in the

TLFG: 28 September - 4 October 2026

Greetings one and all and welcome to this week's TLFG. This is coming out a bit later than I'd like as I've had a very busy weekend. On Friday I dropped my mother-in-law off in Killarney in Ireland to visit some relatives, did a quick bit of GAA shopping for my kids and jetted straight back - I was on foreign soil for five hours. I think that's a record for any trip I've undertaken which involves a plane. I'm going back tomorrow to do the pick-up! On Saturday I did the Westminster Mile with 13 a

TLFG: 21-27 September 2026

Greetings everyone and welcome to this week's TLFG. I've been really pushed for time this weekend so it's just match maps at this stage. A very long international break is now underway so there are no Premier League or Championship games for the next couple of weeks. England entertain world champions Spain at Wembley in a very tough UEFA Nations League opener but there are also a load of games in the EFL, National League, FA Trophy and WSL. I'll be at Loftus Road on Sunday for the west London de

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
