Keeps it simple to have a fresh one each month !

Have found a non-league game on doorstep for Friday night, am at Watford v. Sheff Utd on Sat, and Fulham v. Ipswich, and that (assuming no probs in Fri) will be 100th game of the season.

Back at QPR on Mon v. Luton. At a 'Brentford B' game Tues afternoon and Wycombe v. Huddersfield in evening. Watford Youth v. Crewe Youth in F.A. Youth Cup next Weds.

Doing FOUR games in the 3rd Round next week. Fulham v. Watford on Thurs (will just sit back & see what unfolds, though I would expect Fulham to win), Wycombe v. Portsmouth on Fri, Orient v. Derby on Sat (tickets ten quid, well done Orient) & Millwall v. Dagenham on Mon. (Then it's West Ham-Fulham on the Tues).

Apparently a LOT of people will be joining you at the Millwall -Daggers game (and not that many are normally interested in Dagenham).

Between two cities (named on my profile) to watch 3 home games and then i have Bournemouth away at the end of the month.

It’s been quite a journey the last 4/5 years!

As the song goes..... "Let 'em come". Anyway, will be good for them to size up their local Derby for next season

Just home, drying out & getting warm after a soggy trip to Loftus Road.

Watford lucky to get away with a 3-1 beating, QPR a MUCH improved team from when I saw them a couple of times in November

Well, that was a complete washout - literally and figuratively. Arrived at Flackwell Heath 20 mins before KO, at exactly the same time as the game was called off. Didn’t even switch the engine off, just turned round and headed home.

Already expecting next Wednesday’s game at Kidlington to fall foul of a frozen pitch.

On the plus side, brilliant result for The Monkey Hangers today. Hopefully they can follow that up and reach the play-offs. That first ever trip to Wembley is long overdue.

Great result for the red and white goal scoring dream machine at Brentford, especially with half the team apparently suffering from “dickie tummies “

Brighton on Saturday then Manchester Uniteds “end of season” party the week after!

Who's going where today ? Has the weather played havoc with your plans ?

Start of another full week for me. Another tough one for Watford today, home to Sheffield United. I'll take a point.

Fulham v. Ipswich tomorrow, then back at Loftus Road on Mon for QPR v. Luton (which will be my 100th game of the season). Should be at a Brentford U21 at Staines on Tues afternoon, before Wycombe v. Huddersfield in the evening. Watford Youth v. Crewe Youth in the F.A. Youth Cup 4th Round on Wednesday evening. Then F.A. Cup 3rd Round weekend begins - more of that later in week.

As always, to anyone travelling (particularly in this weather) safe trip, & enjoy your game.

Dear Tottenham hotspurs….

Please don’t sack ange before the NLD on the 15th…… I don’t need the fear of a new manager bounce!

Although the result was obviously not what I was hoping for, that was a very decent afternoon's entertainment at Vicarage Road.

Sheffield United are nailed on for top two, was best display I've seen from a visiting team this season. But Watford matched them for most of the game and a draw would not have been unfair result.

My first priority when I go to a game is to come home feeling I've been entertained and not short-changed by the efforts of the players (on both sides). So certainly no complaints on that front this afternoon.

No fear involved now, it's a nothing game now with nothing riding on it apart from the 'derby' pride riding on a positive result, Mrs x

2-2 at The Cottage, THREE penalties awarded & converted.

Frustrating for Fulham not to have won it on balance of play, yet maybe fortunate to have come out with a point. Eighteen months since Mitrovic left, and still haven't signed a half decent replacement.

A chilly rather than wet evening at Loftus Road for my 100th game of the season. Deserved 2-1 win for QPR, now moving steadily away from trouble. Luton still seem to have hangover from last season
