Very satisfied with the results for Clapton, Thistle and Scotland today. Those wins were all extremely valuable.
Wonderful result - particularly for those behind the scenes at the club who put in so much work this past week to get this game on ⚡ Forza Clapton!

#PTFCStatsWatch 👀 - Huge congratulations to the class of 2025 & 2026 on a brand new club-record of 24 (TWENTY FOUR) league games unbeaten at Firhill. #COYJ 🇧🇪
#PTFCStatsWatch 👀 - Partick Thistle and Scotland play on the same day for the 171st time. We're hoping for our 40th double win! Mon the Jags, mon the Scots! 🇧🇪🏴 👉 thethistlearchive.net/thistle-and-...
I might not pronounce "Loons" or "Minnesota" like a local when I sing, but I'm having a great time. 2-1 to MNUFC at half time. 'Mon The Loons!
If I wasn’t a lifelong Portland Timbers supporter for 51 years I would be a Minnesota United supporter because their SGs do some of the best pride merch and tifos in the league. Like my SG and their SGs are tied for first in best pride stuff. Esp love the Red Loons. Great folks there.
At the Black Hart of St Paul for pre-match drinks and meeting the @redloons.bsky.social ahead of the Minnesota United game.

Oh wow! Pressure Drop (one of the best breweries in London) beer on tap at The Old Spotted Dog. Forza Clapton!
New on tap at the OSD clubhouse bar 🍻 Fast Gary Superior Stout, brewed by Pressure Drop, just down the road in Tottenham. It's a 4.6% smooth and easy drinking stout, which we think will go down a treat on matchdays. Currently available on draft only starting at @claptoncfc.co.uk game vs Heybridge
Difficult afternoon for Clapton's women & non-binary first-team today. At least the Old Spotted Dog pitch looks like it's appreciating the rain, and the new "keep aff the grass" signs are lovely.
I think the Caley Jags deserved a point from that game. Always a kick in the teeth to lose a late goal, but I don't think Thistle's second half deserved the win.
#PTFCStatsWatch 👀 - It's 9 unbeaten away from home in the league for Partick Thistle, just 4 off matching the all-time club-record (13) set in September 1971. #COYJ 🇧🇪
The London Jags assembling at The Volley, Old Street, London. There may be a few more Arsenal and Coventry fans here tonight.
Tough one to take but the season is young. Good introduction to the new lads. Early season means the Scaffold stamina is getting worked on too tbf. All in all: it's a long season and we'll all be back stronger next week in time for our FA Cup debut. #ForzaClapton

Neoliberalism in a nutshell. UEFA on FIFA's proposal: “The moment external investors acquire ownership interests ... football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. ... Every decision is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.”
The fans are finally back in the Essex Senior League, 8 years after abandoning it and the old zombie club. Exciting times for the invigorated CCFC. Forza Clapton.

Feeling very happy with the squad that's been put together here. Seems like a decent bunch of guys with good attitudes. Keeping Stanway and Fitzy was unexpected and very, very welcome. Excited to hear that Mark Wilson is grabbing the label of favourites* for the league with enthusiasm. Come on Jags!
🔒 Locked in for the league season. Take a look at our 2026/27 squad numbers.
First game of 2026/2027. First game in Step 5 for our Men's First Team. Let's get into it. #ForzaClapton
Keeping the fitba accessible in East London. Of course, for those who are able to, paying more than a fiver for a game will help the club to do more good work.

Christina Unkel's referee analysis for ITV Sport has been excellent every time I've heard it. Very clear explanations and has called things accurately whenever I've heard her.
The consensus opinion from my group chats is that The Muppets have just been complicit in some kind of war crime against football. Kermit must condemn.
Is anybody else hearing Monkey Gone To Heaven by the Pixies every time there's a reference to the stadium as "New York New Jersey"?

Can't wait to see Madonna taking a penalty at half time.
