MacWomble

An interesting story to take our attention away from our gradual decline in league position over the last few months. The club is going to have to learn and re-learn that there are supporters who cannot forgive and forget, regardless of Samuelson-type moralizing. Yes, it was all very rude. But they are all very angry. They made their point and I…[Read more]

I don’t really care about the Cup. It is solidifying our league position that is important and building a solid team that can withstand the pressure when even more of the club’s resources are dedicated to Plough Lane Mk2. The Big Time can wait until we are back in Merton and 100% secure. Tis merely survival up to this point. That said, one benefit…[Read more]

I find I have little of value to add to the Forum, except to note that the Dons are at least drawing rather than losing. They seem as strong as at any time. I think we are close in points to where we were at this stage last season, so there is everything to play for. The players seem to be motivated and more professional than in previous years.…[Read more]

I think the Gaffer summed it all up nicely in his pre-game quote (in earlier post). Both teams up for a game which is tremendously important to Wombles the World over. Shame about the result. The bloke from Hearts will toughen MK up a bit. We will be seeing a repeat of this game next year, but at least it sets it up nicely for when we host them…[Read more]

Too easy eh? Looked like amateur hour on a paddock. But job done. Curzon Who? Let’s hope for Manchester Utd next.

What exactly is a Curzon Ashton? A vintage car? I see they play in Ashton-Under-Lyne. So, what is a Lyne and why is Ashton under it? All of this adds up to a heap of rubbish from the lower leagues who are up against a decent football team this week. The Gaffer’s boys are too good to go down and should easily dispatch this bunch of ashton’s back…[Read more]

I wonder where Karl Robinson will pop-up next? Too good for League 1, not good enough for the Championship, but good enough to have held his job for a long-time (by current appalling standards). Mr Ardley must be rising up the list of long-serving managers for sure. Both these managers have proven a thing or two.

You get the impression that this lofty height may not be our high water mark and that even better things are in store. An amazing story thus far! And we have always struggled against the Posh. Looking forward, I can’t see Robinson being in charge at MKD for much longer. He seems to have lost his appetite and mojo since relegation last year; cannot…[Read more]

This team is on the up. We are at ease in L1. Who would have thought we would be co close to a play-off position, even before the arrival of Santa. On a different note, it is a bit sad to hear of the terminal decline of greyhound racing in London. They have been around since 1928 and, like our club, have had struggles over the last decade. We…[Read more]

COYD. Let’s kick the Gills backside to the hole they come from. 4-1 to the Dons!

Great news on the stadium. And now we need to secure the services of Vinnie Jones with his hod and bricks (as he seems to be not longer Hollywood material) to lay the Foundation Stone and take us as far as the damp-proof coarse. Perhaps Sam the Man Allardyce will be purchasing one of our new and lo-cost housing units. Or, perhaps as we slip into a…[Read more]

Yes, a great match report from the city of the Merlion. Fantastic to see that young Poleon is seizing this opportunity with gusto and skill. And again the football Gods are playing with us! As we near the mythologized 10 game mark, in which we expect to have a firm opinion of where the season is headed, this recent result will likely ensure that…[Read more]

On a separate note, I presume you have all read the suggested standard letter of petition from us fanatics to the Secretary of State (SoS)? I hope it achieves the desired result. Of course it should, as there are no strategic national interest involved in the project. But… does the letter read that well to you? On a minor note, I thought it was…[Read more]

I agree with you Rob. There seem to be a fair number of fans who have an over-inflated view of our club’s potential. The Gaffer has got this one right.

Another correct scoreline; two in a row. Alas no money put on this unusual double at the bookies. How interesting; we were all there or thereabouts in our forecasts. 1) A draw or a win. 2) Progress being made. 3) A tight margin in all recent games. 4) Dom Poleon (a champagne, does he know Perignon?) being on the boil. However the Gaffer is usually…[Read more]

We are setting this game up nicely. Lots of posts on Parrett and Poleon. But to be honest (shame, shame, repent, repent) I had not especially focused on these players before one of them hits in a brace against (by all accounts) a woeful swans U21 team playing in front of six loyals and a dog. Why does this make Poleon such a commodity? Anyway,…[Read more]

From reading the reports, the only decent thing about the score-line being 1-1 was that MacWomble tipped it. I would have preferred AFC to prove me wrong, but clearly the two teams are just as hopeless as each other, so a bit of a no-brainer. But a point is a point and we are, as advised, awaiting the ten game mark before being concerned. We were…[Read more]

Planning processes are complicated, but all the hoops must be jumped through. If Wandsworth have the legal options to challenge planning decisions, then that’s just a fact we have to live with. However, I truly believe the club have been so incredibly careful and meticulous with their proposal that we stand in good stead to eventually return home.…[Read more]

Who would want to be a football referee! The problem is that the end-of-match reports from losing Gaffers would all be the same: “rubbish, worst ref in history, that wisnae a penalty…” By the time the junior secretary in the Department of Waster Paper had sorted them out, then I’m sure they would be of no relevance. After all, our Gaffer has not…[Read more]

We’ve talked about the advice from a fellow pundit: to wait ten games. That seems to be fair advice, given that every seasons is a rollercoaster. But, are we relaxed, or are some alarm bells ringing? Losing early games makes it hard to play catch-up later in the season. But, I tend to think that we over-achieved last season in the play-offs and…[Read more]
