Loved Fashanu's time wasting when we got that free kick immediately after the restart, bet we would've scored if we didn't have to wait 5 minutes to take the kick
We used to be so ****ing good at football, how lucky are Wimbledon here, we're ripping them apart but the ball just won't go in
We've only ever been average to **** since I've supported. With notable moments of greatness which have not been without considerable adversity. Last season is the best football I've ever seen us play in my life and that was with basically no defence. The 80's side was a complete side, it was strong everywhere.
pity he's been so **** in it yeah
the defending on the 5th goal was shocking... carragher would have put it in the stand on on gerrards toe and the n the great escape would never have occurred.... bloody awful team that one...
Hardly surprising that a stat gonk like you doesn't understand the football heart of the Wimbledon story.
AFC Wimbledon are basically a Phoenix club of Wimbledon FC, it's a akin to a club being wound up and a 'new' one formed to continue the footballing story.
As the original Wimbledon doesn't exist, it was bought for it's league certificate the first (and only thank God) English 'franchise' sale. What opened in Milton Keynes was nothing to do with Wimbledon FC in any way, shape or form. AFC Wimbledon has retained the fanbase and heritage of the original club and therefore the coverage of '88 is perfectly right. It's a great footballing story.
it was, and sadly also on the cusp. too many let age on our pitch frankly just like gerrard. molby back then was awesome, so was barnes.. in the early 90s they were fat and slow.
nicol was poty. grobaelaar was not taking bribes... we think... and so forth and so on.
I have been trying to say this.... The fear in hull and cardiff is they are franchises to their owners too. the 3 man committee that let wimbledon move to milton keynes was a disgrace but i suppose if you look at Brighton and hove albion moves of distance have occurred in the past
I think Hull and Cardiff are somewhat different scenarios tbh. There's no suggestion that either club would be uprooted from their home town area, merely the owners having strong opinions on what makes the club more attractive to the overseas audience, and figure that as it's their trainset they'll ride roughshod over 'tradition'.
The committee that signed off the MK Dons move must have taken a bung, it was never right that call and everyone knew it at the time. They only got away with it due to the fact that Wimbledon only had a small fanbase.
I spelt out the reality in my post, which you've chosen to ignore as it doesn't suit your facile point.Only in inverted commas because reality doesn't suit your argument
You don't have a clue about the game and the football family, and every post you make demonstrates it, over and over again.
Take up knitting ffs.
yet........... you have to wonder about tan and the other clown... I hope they never do but you have to view them all with suspicion. I'm sure the venkeys at Blackburn would say the same.
I think the mk thing was in the context of no suitable stadium in plough lane but now suddenly its possible years later... for me it sounds like many many Councillors took their share and all.
I don't think a move of that nature would ever get sign off again tbh mate. The FA have even blocked Allam changing the name, they'd never allow him to move them to another part of the country.
Anyway, back to tonights fixture, a great night for everyone who's been involved with the Wimbledon story since the rise from the ashes in 2002, there'll be some proud faces at that ground tonight and rightly so. (they'll get gubbed though)
Ojo wont get any game tme tonight as played for the U21s this afternoon
Liverpool U21s: Vigouroux, Randall, Cleary, Maguire, Lussey, Brannagan, Kent, Ojo, Suso, Yesil, Sinclair.
Looks like Rossiter may well be involved this evening though in some capacity.
