Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Was at the Chichester v Canvey game yesterday. 3-0 to Chi which should be good enough for another season in the Isthmian. Also bumped into jensonnotbutton who apparently is big on social media.
 
What comes before a fall? Just asking as at least Chesham aren't letting me down!

4-1 win against to Ebbsfleet, a pro team and that was quite the shock.. That said unbeaten since 2026 started, sort of an inverse Spurs.. Over the last 10 matches 25 points and things are surprisingly rosy and the mentions of playoffs are in the air. However, Dagenham at home, Dorking away and then away to Worthing will likely temper expectations, that said if we're still unbeaten after this, I'll start believing!

Quite a few shocks this weekend though, Enfield winning 5-0 at Farnborough in a relegation 6 pointer, managerless Eastbourne beating Torquay 4-2 and Hampton winning 4-0 at Bath is a big result in the relegation stakes.

Worthing finally won this year breaking their hoodoo convincingly beating Slough 4-1 and being the only top 6 side to win their game.

Dorking sit top 6 points clear and signed a couple of players today, though they are blighted by suspensions and injuries at the moment, below that there's only 5 points between 2nd place and 8th so the playoffs looks to be a tightly contested field.
 
Lynn being investigated by the league for cheating a waterlogged pitch in order to get a game postponed because of an injury / suspension crisis!

They apparently had the sprinklers on for ages to create an unplayable surface.

NLS is very interesting again this year - at both ends. Some very decent crowds. I occasionally go to Hampton which is nearish to where I’m currently living. My NL club is Lewes and when they were in that league - winning it quite ridiculously- it was a great division. Hoping Eastbourne get the surprise relegation ‘cos I’m a bitter miserable sh*t and they’re not the traditional club of the town.

Was born in Eastbourne. Boro do think they're bigger than they are. If they go down they will only be one division above Eastbourne Town.

Hampton is a good away day. The Jolly Coopers is an ace pub. Once went there to see Maidstone and stayed in the pub instead.
 
Dissapointing 3-1 defeat for Chichester away at Dulwich yesterday. Over 3,000 in attendance which was one of their biggest gates. This is the equivalent of Division 7 and they had more than Barnet, Barrow and Fleetwood in League 2. I do think more people are disillusioned with PL and are giving grass roots a chance.

Another crazy few days in the Conference South.

Dagenham & Redbridge begun their reign under KSI with a win against Dorking Wanderers, a lot of hype around the prominent youtuber buying the club, 2281 people turned up to see the start of the new era. None of the top 3 teams won, Worthing lost to a last minute goal at Tonbridge and Hornchurch suffered a last minute goal to lose at home to Slough.

Torquay's fortunes have not improved since they fired Paul Wooton and Neil Warnock took charge of the team at Ebbsfleet and lost 3-0 there. They're currently looking for a permenant manager to take over affairs shortly to ensure they stay within the play off zone.

Chelmsford appear to be resurgent and took a stunning 7-1 win at home to Bath City, the Angelo Harrop doubters are beginning to change their tune a litte, after this and beating Torquay 5-0 last week.

Chesham put in a cracking 4-0 win against Weston Super Mare, it's good to have one of my teams performing at least!

Dorking still sit pretty at the top, but there's only 7 points between 10th and 2nd, the battle for the playoff positions are wide open right now.

At the bottom Eastbourne and Chippenham look deepest in the mire having played 37 games they're running out of road to turn things around. Enfield and Bath look in trouble but they could still catch Farnborough, Salisbury or Hampton. Still looking tight down there.
 
Big win for the mighty Chichester at home to Cray Wanderers. Chichester finished with 9 men thanks to a VDV style straight red and then a second yellow for our other CB after a bit of hand bags. Up to 13th and another season in the Isthmian for a team with one of the smallest budget.
 

Think there’s a couple of you watch out for Wealdstone?
I’m gonna be in the away end a week Saturday following Marine in the FA Trophy.
I got involved with them buying a virtual season ticket after we played them in the FA Cup a few years ago.
They’re doing well 👏
 
MemphisWill MemphisWill Daggers make a lot of headlines last week or so.
Yeah, I never really liked Andy Carroll.

The relegation, coupled with the ownership change, the shuttering of my local club which was my connection to D&R, and an insanely busy period of work the past 6+ months has led me to not pay much attention to them this season, unfortunately.
Hoping to snap out of it soon. Promotion this season looks very unlikely, but maybe there's a chance Carroll isn't shit like I expect.
