AFC? Is this an elaborate wum

 

Froome- born in Kenya and grew up in South Africa. Great sporting achievements but he’s not British.

 

Congratulations to the Premier League, after another referee was born in Sunderland yesterday...

 

Think he means the London Stadium, but I feel his pain regardless

 

Our fixture against West Ham has been moved to Jan 4th due to "safety concerns". Scheduling it for New year's eve was a ridiculous decision to start with.

In a funny way, the move actually helps us as we will be the only team (other than WHU) with a full week off over the xmas period between Soton on boxing day and Swansea on the 2nd. I'd rather have a week off then 2 games in 48 hours rather than 5 days.

The only tricky bit will be when we draw City away in the FA Cup, which iirc starts on Jan 6/7th for us. So our festive period looks as follows:

Sat 23rd Dec: Burnley (A)
Tues 26th Dec: Soton (H)
Tues 2nd Jan: Swansea (A)
Thurs 4th Jan: Spam (H)
Mon 6/7th Jan: FA Cup 3rd round (TBC)
Sat 13th Jan: Everton (H)

 

I don't really understand why it couldn't have been played on Sat Dec 30th.

Now just watch us get drawn at home to WHU in the FAC on the 6/7th !

 

Our form's gone to ****. Ashes are going ****. Government's ****. Brexit's ****. Gonna be a merry ****in' Christmas at this rate

 

Sounds like 1973.
6pm power cuts next, then we can cue the
Slade/Wizzard records.

 

I was just about to post the exact same thing. Draw at 7.00 pm on BBC 2 for those that watch such things.

 

I have the horrible feeling we're going to get Leeds.

Well we've played just about every other English team with horrible fans in the past eighteen months, so we may as well complete the set...

 

Millwall are still in the Cup.

 

Done it:

Cardiff? Kane's nemesis.

 

In the rehearsal we got Huddersfield at Home. Others included a Manchester derby and West Ham v Millwall. Arsenal were at home to Southampton [3rd XI], natch.

 

AFC Wimbledon at Wembley. Not bad at all.

I'll be there as I know a few people invovled with 'The Dons'.

Liverpool v Everton and Brighton v Palace stand out.

Millwall v Barnsley has history..........not in a good way.

 

Decent draw.
Arsenal and Chelsea have tricky ties.
The stand out one is obviously the Merseyside derby but quite a few PL teams with difficult away games against solid Championship opposition.

 

AFC WImbledon have Dean Parrett and Andy Barcham.

 

Are they going to give Dele Alli a load of stick, assuming that he plays?

 

Spurs player in corner-reaches-teammate SHOCK

 

Manchester United v Derby will NOT be televised, this will be the first time since 2005 that a United FAC game has not been televised. That is 58 consecutive games they have been shown. Incredible stat and shows the love in the media have with them.
