Searching  for any, even very temporary, respite from the abject misery that fills our newspapers and screens at the moment, His Lordship is really looking forward to the arrival of Dartford FC tomorrow.  They're coming here to win  and the prospect of a proper football match looks good. Watch out for George Porter!  Hopefully, they will drag the very best football out of us.. dampened as that expectation sadly is by the breaking news of young  Harrison M's  recall to the parent club. He has bought some real sunshine to the club in the way he plays the game. Thank you Harrison.

And the Blessings?  The soiling and shameful spoiling of Chelsea Football Club for nearly 20 years by illegally and unethically acquired super-wealth  is finally at an end.....His Lordship hopes anyway.  That commodified factory  and extended laundry called  the Premier League and to a lesser extent the top of the football pyramid, has taken a terrible reputational blow in the last day or two and not before time,.   The Sovereign Wealth funds, the oil magnates, the asset strippers, the laundry men and women,  bankrolling some other Premier League clubs,  have been put on notice. Thank Heavens for Chippenham Town FC ... its modesty, probity ( I hope Mr Chairman!), lack of flash, decency  and spirit. We deserve a gate far more commensurate with Chippenham's size (45,000).  Hopeully a greater valuing of our freedoms, localism  and sense of community, brought on by the terrible events unfolding before us, will draw more people to the TSS  in the coming seasons. That's the only way to really sustain a football club.  Us !!
