He wasn't actually crowned though was he so does it count?

An heir apparent becomes Sovereign the moment the incumbent ceases to be, regardless of whether there's been a ceremony. Otherwise QEII's Platinum Jubilee wouldn't have been until next year, as her coronation was in 1953.

Boston 3 Buxton 0. Rather pleasing on the eye football, new management and a clean sheet and first win of the season.

 

[Old Yard Dog]

Far too good for us Darlorich but at least we scored a goal. Currently getting ratted in Alnwick prior to doing the Aln Valley railway before we get humiliated by Ashington in the FA Cup. Our first first team meeting since D3N days in the 1920s. In any normal club, defeat would see manager Mark Bower sacked. But our overseas owners have just given him a 3 year contract.

FA Cup...2nd Qualifying Round

Hyde United 1 ... Warrington Town 0.........according to a news feed

The second time this season that Hyde were drawn against a good quality side from their own Premier Division of the Northern Premier League.

 

[Drogba11CFC]

Winchester City 1...Weymouth 3 (Obeng 28; Kyprianou 11, Ash pen 17, Rose pen 20)

That's it for the FA Cup this season then. A lucky deflection and a soft penalty (the second of the two, meaning the ref then turned down a stonewall penalty for each side) set Weymouth on their way and although City pulled a goal back and threw everything at Weymouth in the second half, they couldn't get another (including the Weymouth keeper spilling a catch through his legs but somehow recovering).

FA Cup...2nd Qualifying Round

Mark Beck 3 v Southport 2

Darlo in the hat for the next round after a very poor show saved by a hat trick from the non league Haaland - only the 5 goals this week.

My first match this season...
Huddersfield Town 1-0 Cardiff City!
The season starts here.

Tottenham vs Leicester (4-2 as I'm writing this) is living up to the goal fest expectations. What a goal from Son as well.

Lancaster 1 - 1 Bury AFC

Just waiting for the train home after a most enjoyable day out at a lovely ground. Bury thoroughly deserved to stay in the hat and possibly deserved to win, against opposition 2 leagues higher. I think Bury are now my official second team.

One of the best-named grounds in football

Keep going! Quite the performance off the bench, that. Tres impressive.

Leicester have got to be getting a bit twitchy now..

Also, hat tip to my beloved Fulham who won away against Forest, last night. Very happy with that going into the int'l break.

Indeed!

Tottenham Hotspur 6-2 Leicester City

Great performance from us! I seriously worry for Leicester. So happy for Son! Class man on and off the field! I can't be the only one who would love him to be my friend.

Not as good for my other team and my local team Exeter City. 2-0 loss at home to Burton to give them their first win of the season is appalling.

A mate suggested that Brendan Rodgers would be sacked if they lost to Spurs. I'm not sure it will happen, though.

I'm quite enjoying seeing Forest lose. Us Town fans seem to have developed a grudge with theirs after last season.

Mind you, the international break looms and Rodgers sounded very flat in his interview just now...

Missed today as I was a bit under the weather. Sounded like a slight improvement on the radio, so that'll do for now!

 

[DannyMich2018]

Been a Leicester fan for many years it's really upsetting to see us at the bottom of the PL Table. Next game is against Nottingham Forest who are 19th....

Tottenham Hotspur 6-2 Leicester City

"Rodgers on the dole, Rodgers, Rodgers, On the dole!"

It cant be long. Leicester are shambolic.

 

[youngiecj]

Lichfield City 0 Boston 4. Into the next round of the cup. An enjoyable day out, 704 there, when the usual attendance 100+. Nice setup and nice people hope they made a bit of money to keep going.

You really need this international break!

 

[DannyMich2018]

You really need this international break!

Yes we do and we really need to win the next game on the 3rd Oct against Forest!

Cardiff City have sacked manager Steve Morison & Hartlepool have sacked manager Paul Hartley.

Cardiff City have sacked manager Steve Morison & Hartlepool have sacked manager Paul Hartley.

I see we Terriers have played a part in sacking someone else's manager, rather than the other way round for a change. Cardiff did look poor yesterday; their 20-odd transfers this summer, a la Forest, clearly hasn't worked for them.

 

[150249]

Yes we do and we really need to win the next game on the 3rd Oct against Forest!

Isn't that a local derby?

 

[DannyMich2018]

Isn't that a local derby?

Yes it sure is Nottingham Forest. We're both bottom of the table so be interesting who (if anyone!) can win on the 3rd! With Everton getting their first win today we (Leicester) are the only team not to have won a game in the Premier League this season!

North London Derby and Manchester Derby that weekend too!

Suprises in the WSL on Sunday as both Chelsea and Manchester City suffer defeats. Chelsea 1-2 to newly promoted Liverpool and Manchester City 3-4 to Aston Villa.

2009 - Manchester United won the Manchester derby 4-3 in injury time thanks to a late, late Michael Owen winner.

Bradford were humiliatingly knocked out of the cup FA Cup by Ashington on Saturday, the first time the club has lost to a team three levels lower since we first entered in 1897.

However we were denied a late equaliser by one of the worst offside decisions in the history of football. Have a look if you don't believe me

https://twitter.com/i/status/1571170084655185929

When you are bottom of the league nothing goes for you. Last season we were knocked out by Gateshead who used an ineligible substitute but were let off with a small fine and a slap on the wrist.

And I thought Huddersfield had made a poor start to the season!

That’s a total howler by the linesman. Not only was he in an onside position he wasn’t even in front of the ball when it was played.

In the draw for the 3rd qualifying round of the FA Cup, Hyde United have been drawn at home .... to Darlington.

They last were drawn together in the 2015 competition.
