On This Day in 1969
Former European footballer of the year John Charles was on target as the table topping Dons went down to their first defeat of the year at Hereford United. With Hillingdon Boro now just two points behind in the Southern League Premier division table, with a game in hand, and having the majority of their remaining games at home, Wimbledon knew they had a real fight to land the title.

Trigger, I have an apostrophe in my surname and get pissed off by companies that insist I can't use it. So it's all very well saying that languages evolve but why should I have to evolve into changing my family name? This is a specific instance but really winds me up, especially when the (racist) software they use insist the apostrophe should be replaced by e.g. #&×?#

In France it's Fete du Peres, suggesting the plural in which case it's Fathers' Day.

Is it not irrelevant anyway Swiggy? :) Everyone knows what people mean when they say Mother’s Day wherever they put the apostrophe or no apostrophe. Language is changing. Always has.

So is it Father's Day, Fathers' Day OR Fathering Day?

Though of course Mothering Sunday isn't actually about mothers but about the church. Anway I hope everyone can agree mothers are a good thing, we all had or have one.

But what about us pedantic mothers, Pete, who want both 🤔?

Mothers are more important than arguments over apostrophes. Give them more flowers and fewer irrelevant pedantic s.

Of course if we referred to it as Mothering Sunday rather than take on more Americanism shit, the apostrophe discussion would be irrelevant.

Presumably it could just be adjectival and thus Mothers Day, as in Washing Day etc.

* it's, not i's (and the irony of a typo in a post about grammar is not lost on me).

I always thought it was mothers' if referring to something belonging to (possessive) mothers (plural) but mother's if i's something belonging to a mother (singular) but I may be wrong.

Shame it didn't happen yesterday, but hopefully we will reach 50 points on Tuesday evening. Would that be the earliest we have reached it as AFCW in League 1?

RK - Mother's not Mothers'.
It is not only us who have done nothing at Stevenage. They have 9 clean sheets at home in the league, they have only conceded 2 twice and have never conceded more than 2.

Tight as a nun's.....at home
I guess Stevenage with the early goal were happy to concede possession and watch us do nothing.

It seems they have CW [Link] So much for all their bluster for carrying on with printed programmes. They were a decent read too. I never understood why they gave them away for free if you had a matchday ticket. Now it's anybody guess who will be the last club to throw in the towel.
