Who are Ya?
I’ve no wish to get my tin opener out and rake up old arguments about the old Wimbledon, the Franchise and the move to Milton Keynes, so:
MK Dons began in 2004, taking in League One; replacing the old Wimbledon FC. This is their 9th season; seven of which have been in League One and two in League Two.
They played at the National Hockey stadium until the end of the 2006-07 season, when they moved to their current home at the 32,000 capacity Stadium MK.
Highest League Finish: 3rd in League One 2009 (playoff semi-final)
Lowest League Finish: 4th in League Two 2007 (playoff semi-final)
Honours:
4th Tier [League Two] winners 2008
Football League Trophy [Paint Pot] winners 2008

Match Odds (at Skybet)

MK Dons – 8/15
Pompey – 7/2
Draw – 3/1


Mystic Devo
Pompey have just achieved back-to-back wins and morale will be a lot higher than it has been of late.
Although they’ve since lost in the league Cup and the Paint Pot, MK Dons are unbeaten in the league since 25th August and in five home League fixtures only Notts County have left with a point and a goal.

Devo reckons: MK Dons 2-0 Pompey

 

MK Dons 2-3 Pompey .. Anything's possible in football!

 

Just bought my tickets, would be nice to win but a score draw would also be ok.

 

Sorry to say it ,but, I think MKD will win by 2 clear goals.

 

Let's hope we're both wrong!

 

I hope you're wrong - very wrong - I've just started getting used to feeling cheerful!

 

I reckon a 2-2 draw..if we're lucky. The lads did well at Yeovil and things are looking up but we still look vulnerable at the back to nippy wingplay. Should be interesting.

If anyone is interested. There is a great real ale pub on the way back at the bottom of the A43 just before you join the M40 at a little village called Stoke Lyne- The Peyton Arms. We've been using it for years, on the way back from various games.Old fashioned parlour pub. Highly recommended. We'll be there Saturday night

 

Blimey Fratton - don't give the identity all our secret watering holes away!

 

Oops! Sorry my fishy friend, but I'm sure there'll be enough Old Hooky to go around!

 

MISSED PENALTY - THAT'S TWO IN TWO GAMES

 

1-0 Pompey - At least Izale knows where the back of the net is

 

Who took it ?? And how are you following the game dev ??

POOOMMMPPPPEEEEYYY ARREEEE WINNNNIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!

 

Gyepes 2-0!

 

Is that his fourth goal in four games ??

That's a new thing- a scoring centre back!

 

Uh Oh- own goal and it's 2-1 ..

 

Well, it wouldn't be Portsmouth if we kept a clean sheet.

 

Bit of magic by Potter!

 

Bugger off HR. Come back tomorrow, we'll accommodate you if your fans are bitter after they see the score Southampton 1:3 Fulham!

Good Day!

 

2-2, I'll take that.
