I've had a crack at gigs, based on tickets and memories. But no programmes and very few post-event reports mean it's pretty unreliable.
I can't be 100% certain I haven't missed out a game or two, but the match list is pretty accurate I think. And it is the best I have, so... 🀷😁

Yes. Lockdown project. Involved triangulating between programmes, tickets, clips and memories.

Off to Portman Road yesterday, hoping to see my 1,000th Ipswich Town goal in person. A 2-2 draw meant it was just the 999th, but thank you Jack Clarke and a pretty generous referee for giving a rather soft spot kick. Still, they all count. 😁

Down to the @oldspotteddog.bsky.social for @claptoncfc.co.uk 4 #FCRomania 2 yesterday, a top vs bottom clash in front of a record CCFC gate of 1,712. For context, this 10 tier game attracted more fans than five matches in the National League, five tiers above. Extraordinary.

Haven't seen the confirmed attendance for @claptoncfc.co.uk but it looked more than the 970-odd of the last game at the @oldspotteddog.bsky.social. Extraordinary things happening in this part of East London.

Fascinating watching two Essex Senior League matches before watching CCFC trying to secure promotion to the ESL. Little difference in standard to my eyes, while Clapton easily attracted 3-4 times the attendance of the ESL games combined.

Elon Musk Just Endorsed Blatant White Nationalism And the Silence is Deafening On Thursday morning Elon Musk retweeted (with a β€˜100%’ endorsement) a post declaring that: If white men become a minority, we will be slaughtered. Remember, if non-Whites openly hate White men while...

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org

Cheers, Ben. Yes, it has been a long stint. Although nothing compared to Alan, who has been writing about the charts for about 50 years now... 🀯

Indeed. Plus, what made the night was the slightly naughty, ramshackled chaos which local heroes Shaun Ryder, Bez, Noel and Angry Ginge brought to the party. It's what makes it "the Brits", rather than other, more po-faced, awards; it is at its very best when it doesn't take itself too seriously.

Wow. Well, what an amazing Brit Awards in Manchester last night. Highlights? Bjork guesting with Rosalia & Harry's opening performance - and the biggest screen you have EVER seen proving the most spectacular series of backdrops. Incredible.
