Note that webcam for last night's @LBofBexley planning meeting is just three seconds long. Did meeting take place?

Northampton were frequent opponents in those days. Never met them since 2000 other than in the EFL trophy at under 21 level. This goal was outstanding in an impressive 4-1 win (4-2 aggregate).

#OnThisDay 1993 - Mark Cooper was a player who divided opinion amongst the Cottage faithful played the last of just 17 games in a 1-1 home draw with Bradford City. Moving to Exeter soon after he would return to score a vital goal which pushed us toward relegation #FFC

#OnThisDay 1976 - The 1970s saw some well known international stars playing second tier football for Fulham. George Best made his debut against Bristol Rovers at Craven Cottage taking just 71 seconds to score what proved the winning goal before 21,127 fans. #FFC

Chelsea game not the desired result and a game dominated (again) by VAR cock ups. But Saturday's game was my 2,500th @FulhamFC competitive first team game. (1342 home 1158 away). #FFC

Doubtless my calls (along with many others) to scrap VAR entirely will fall on deaf ears. Saturday's fiasco's at Chelsea were really an example of how it should not work. VAR should not have been involved in the King goal. #FFC

Yet more billing aggro with @EE who clearly do not understand the meaning of automatic compensation as directed by @Ofcom for loss of service (5 days this time in early July) and have just sent my bill for September. Guess what normal price. So annoying.

#OnThisDay 2002 - "We won it one time" as the song goes. Junichi Inamoto's hat trick in a 3-1 success against Bologna secured a 5-3 aggregate win before just 13,576 fans at our temporary Loftus Road home. The reward was a place in the UEFA Cup where we reached Round 3 #FFC

#OnThisDay 1996 - Nick Cusack and Micky Conroy were on target in a 2-1 win at Rochdale which marked the first of six consecutive away League wins (still a club record) as the promotion momentum built under Micky Adams #FFC

#OnThisDay 1991 - Corey Browne exploded onto the scene with a goal in a 1-1 League Cup draw with Charlton. (Lost 5-3 on aggregate). Corey would be injured during his League debut at Torquay four days later and never made another first team appearance. #FFC

Matchday 4105 (12 25/26) Not a good afternoon for @wellingunited despite a number of chances could not find a goal in a first ever meeting with @CrayValleyPM who ran out 3-0 winners. Nice to see printed programmes again at Welling. Good pre match reading.

#OnThisDay 1994 - The first of three visits to Scunthorpe proved to be a corker. Alan Cork scoring both goals in a 2-1 win before 3,165 fans. Recall the ie Press Box was a very tight squeeze for most of us. Liked the venue though. Also the fact that it was just off the motorway.

Disappointed once more by the referee appointment for Sunday given the events at Old Trafford in 2023. That said he had a fairly decent game at Craven Cottage last season v Liverpool. #FFC

#OnThisDay 2001 - Just 6 years after the Scarborough game - our first top flight game in 33 years at Old Trafford. Despite Louis Saha netting twice we were narrowly beaten 3-2. Saw this one from Old Trafford Press Box sitting next to former United boss Wilf McGuinness #FFC
