Just showing this again so I can pin it. It’s time to update from the first game show I feel. Plough Lane catharsis. Or “what we’ve been doing for the last 22 years”.
Your piss weak systematic campaign against Stuart Board and your years of disingenuous bleating that only you lot know where “the line” is before sandpapering the ball mean I think I can safely say - good luck with your latest bout of hypocritical moaning you charmless goons.
God this shit is infuriating. The FA Cup shouldn’t be run for the already super rich clubs fucking over everyone else. And for someone from Brentford to speak with such ignorance of the lower league realities is a disgrace.
"They need to take some more clever decisions" 💭
After Brentford's 1-1 draw with Wolves, manager Thomas Frank does not think there should be FA Cup replays ❌⬇️
What happened next was they battered us second half like they had been battering us first half and this was a red herring to avoid dealing with how shit we were.
2010 World Cup. Frank Lampard scores this banger against Germany. Ref disallows it. Pandemonium ensues, everyone loses their minds.
You know what happens next.
@exitthelemming
Also his own interview made very clear what he thought of it & his own issues that have been much harder to deal with than getting silver while his good friend won gold. As headlines go it couldn’t be less Olympian really could it? I thought the race and his interview were great
Somewhat terrifyingly after reposting this earlier - saw this on way to pick up daughter. How the fuck can you drive fast enough to deploy airbags in a smash on other side of road at 345pm? In a 20 zone. As kids are walking home / cycling etc.
Terrible terrible terrible. I cried when I read the witness statements.
A young mum killed by a driver doing 50mph on a residential street - devastating consequences for her kids & family.
London needs safer streets & more cycle infrastructure, not less.
The insight, wit and depth of wisdom in these answers is amazing. Also - what a great programme. Would love to see the same now. No filter and all the kids correctly taken entirely seriously and engaged with by him. No dumbing down.
Can you honestly tell me any other club in the 92 (& about three tiers of non league) who would genuinely be impressed at getting one block (one block) of fans to wave along to some landfill indie? Genuinely pathetic. And I’m still annoyed it was our club you nicked to do it for.
Go fuck yourself. Then fuck off some more. Every club below your poor overworked division plays more games for less money. Why don’t you six fuck off to your pointless euro circle jerk and leave football to people who actually like it for what it is. You tedious TV watching twat
I'm glad they're getting rid of FA Cup replays. Way too many games and minutes being played by the top players. Yes it's harsh on the lower leagues but the 3pm blackout is a joke in 2024 and they still have that
Winkelman added: "None of us planned or expected to be here. It is probably the worst ever thing that has happened.”
Mate I can tell you from experience relegation is tedious, but having your club taken away, moved 70 miles and having to start again is worse.
Found this minute’s applause even more moving than I expected. Glory Days and background to (and focus of) my teenage years. RIP Joe and thanks for the memories with fans family and friends. 💙💛
The supporters board is aware of the shocking treatment of supporters at the game yesterday. Rest assured, we are looking into this. If you have anything to report please get in contact via the applicable channels.

It would seem very simple if Chartwells say they are being misrepresented to simply show us what it supposed to be in one of these parcels wouldn’t it?
Andy Garner left the field of play and waded into the stands to try to fight someone. He got £700. Our players stayed on the pitch, got pushed by the oppo and one of them “tapped his jumper and waved his arms” and we got £8k. This looks more corrupt than inept

wrong. We did not predict this.
Ending in hilarity. Forever and ever a joke of a club. A expensive joke. Love you Dons. Very proud of that. 💛💙 you empty 200m+ off the bench, we own our club.
I mean this isn’t true is it? Us & Wigan both did it. Even if playing semantics we went from NL to Div One which became & Wigan certainly did it - albeit a lot slower. The actual (and still amazing) achievement is tier five to tier one in nine years. Which now two teams have done
For the avoidance of any doubt - this wave I am waving is sarcastic. I am sarcastically waving. At you. And your failure. And your lies. 23 years of them. And you’ve achieved fuck all bar a stadium property deal. 👋
That said, I fucking hate them. I hate them so fucking much and I hate how much their continued existence and lies still make me feel such anger after 22 years. Lying, inexplicably pandered to by the authorities, club-stealing owners of an unearned league place. Propped up by a
You utter clowns
@EFL
. Did you make WFC directors meet fans in 2002? No. They ignored us. Did you make Cov or Orient owners meet fans? No. They ignore them. But you want to insist our directors (who are fans) meet and chat with the man you allowed to engineer theft of our Club.

Very much this. I was distraught but if they’d put in an efta type deal I would have said fine and got on with it. Especially as that is what they often promised to get the votes. That was the compromise. Everything since then is different shades of hardline lunacy.
Your article today is a disgrace
@BenWillcocks_95
and I can’t believe this cavalier approach to people’s mental health passes even what remains of piss poor press regulatory guidelines. I hope you never ever write anything so lacking in empathy, dangerous and reckless ever again
Hmm I wonder how many appearances Wimbledon’s league club could have made from 2004 onwards if their league place hadn’t been stolen by MK along with a playing squad. This isn’t the gotcha you think it is.
Holiday over. On way back to London for a game against a team that shouldn’t exist bearing a name that has nothing to do with them. At the stadium the

@efl
- will you back your ref for the SIX first half yellows - all of which were comically beyond contestation (rugby tackles!) and sanction this dissent or do you only fine clubs for hand waving and badge touching?
Complete and utter HUMILI8ION. You love to see it. You really do. Must be so confusing for Pete Winkleman to see league places decided by what happens on the pitch instead of demanding to be given it by a committee.
Complete and utter HUMILIATION 💥
Danilo Orsi has his hat-trick, as Crawley put an EIGHTH goal past MK Dons in their League Two play-off semi-final tie 😱
The £5m threshold for Bond applications has been breached. But more loan signings still wanted. Keep going and help Bring The Dons Home. Every Bond helps. Thanks for your support
Only our second top half finish since getting back in the league in 2011. Frustrating in parts to say the least, enjoyable in others but bring on next season… Up the Fucking Dons. 💛💙

We would happily have stomached a one off 500 million tab to give them all blue passports rather than it be a major aim of Brexit mind you!
Quite apart from how horrible the content is, it’s absolutely mind blowing to me that you would conceive, write, put your name on and then send this letter to a national newspaper voluntarily for everyone to see.
No. We think you shouldn’t exist and are annoyed that you do. That your foundation was based on lies belied by every ridiculous game you play in a largely empty stadium for a loss making football club propping up a property deal.
Also, weird behaviour coming from those lot who finished mid table, there's me thinking they weren't obsessed and we didn't exist 🤣🤣🤣

This is beyond fucking parody. Let's be clear here - when Sutton celebrated like fuck including gesturing at our fans at full time on Boxing Day did I enjoy it? Not much, I was annoyed at losing. Did it EVER occur to me to moan about to the FA? Of course fucking not. Ridiculous.

It's tempting and easy to get dragged into arguing with kids from Bucks who weren't even born and have entirely false narratives about what happened to our club. We should all try to ignore such nonsense - those who were there know - Jason Euell knows, Ian Hazel knows. We know.

@SIgames
sponsored a club that was just an idea and had no players, ground or confirmed league place and now 21 years later has done all this with their brand always on our shirt. Real life Football Manager.
I mean with all due respect to them, fuck Wrexham (and for that matter pretty much anyone else) - Southend are currently the biggest underdog / fairytale story in football. Thats an insane result again with how few players they had available (again).
We need three points for league pos. But let’s be clear we need no result as vindication - the stadium back in borough & our presence back in

I fear you are right. It’s either wilful ignorance (appalling) or mockery (even worse). There aren’t any other options. Cf (although not as outright offensive) Boris’ timtam flimflam.
23-24 season done ✅Gutted with the way it ended and missing out on the play offs. Can’t thank everyone at Wimbledon enough, the lads, the fans and most importantly the staff members. They really make the club and have made my family feel so welcome from day 1. You DONS 💛💙

Well speaking for what I saw happen at Wimbledon games - some stewards think it’s a Palestinian flag and say they are too political.
My wife says it doesn’t matter if the kids aren’t actually managing to connect racquet on ball or play swingball properly “so long as they are running around and having fun”. This kind of attitude is why England underperform in world sport.
Bit worried my annoyance at that absurd red card / Ben suspension was stopping me enjoying a great away win enough. Then I saw this tweet which is basically a work of art. If you can’t enjoy a 5-1 away win after months of struggle maybe find a hobby that brings you more joy
