Sitting on Churchfield Rd off Horne Lane as I type - it’s called ‘Poets Corner’ now by the BBC types who have gentrified this corner of Acton.

At the expense of taking subject drifts to extremes, my Dad was born in Shakespeare Road. Definitely not gentrified then!

Used to play darts - very badly - in the pub (don’t remember the name) on the road outside North Acton tube station.

The area is unrecognisable now!

Sam Bell scored a consolation goal for Bristol City today. Garath McCleary netted in vain during Gillingham’s 4-1 defeat to Grimsby. Well done, young man.

Magnus Westergaard was subbed off on the 90-minute mark as Vålerenga slumped to a 0-2 defeat at home to Lillestrøm yesterday. The late goals came on ‘86 and ‘90+14. I shall continue Magnus Watch throughout the summer, albeit some other competition taking place might get more of my attention.

Mark Cooper is the new Chelmsford City Manager, just after John Still was appointed Head of Football there.

Out of interest, did he come on in the 85th minute?

:grimacing: No, he’s been a permanent fixture in the starting line-up from what I can ascertain. Admittedly I speed watched highlights of a recent game against Viking but didn’t notice him much.

It was only reading his dad’s rant that made me realise what sort of player he actually is supposed to be.

Was Gareth Ainsworth at the Golf Day? Or is that someone who looks a lot like him?

You know what you’re going to get with Ainsworth.

Magnus Westergaard played the full match yesterday as Vålerenga endured a 5-1 pumping away at Molde.

Did his Dad write an essay on how unfair of a scoreline it was?

Probably also complaining that his son has to carry his non-performing team mates!
