Truncheoned

And relax… Don’t worry everyone, you can now officially start doing something else this Saturday. Walk the dog, shag your missus, do some much needed gardening work, watch the World Cup, even watch some cricket if you feel the need to. You have three months off now. Because let’s face it, if anyone needs the [...]

Gates of Hell

If I was to tell you this whole report took 3 hours to compose, you may not quite believe me. Though it’s not helped by the fact that right now, there’s this song going around in my head. You may never have heard it before, but it’s quite apt: Could it be the theme tune [...]

Black and Tam

So, then. Another game at Theme Park KM, another loss. 1-0 this time, and of course it was the usual crappy goal to concede. Cue plenty of raised eyebrows again, not to mention the now-familiar sense of embarrassment when looking at our scoreline on SSN. Yet for some reason, I also walked away a bit [...]

Junior Senior

Ah, that was a bit better. After the rubbish that’s been served up recently, beating Croydon Athletic in the LSC semi was a bit like playing a computer game where you reset the skill level to “easy” and bash the living crap out of everyone to make you feel invincible again. OK, 3-0 was a [...]

Full time whistle

I tried, but even after a nights sleep, I still can’t calm down about last night. Was that the worst performance in the AFCW era? It was certainly one of the most humiliating, anyway. Nathan Elder’s goal-line clearance from about a yard out was pretty exceptional though. Well, it would have been if he was [...]

When skies are Gray

when-skies-are-gray

OK, take a deep breath…… I might feel better in the morning,  but in truth I feel like the image above. AFCW 0 Grays 2. That’s Grays who are bottom of the Conference. That’s Grays who have already been relegated, who don’t even know what division they’re in next season and who have won as [...]

Pit Ponies

It’s me, isn’t it? I managed to miss us going up to Field Mill (home of an infamous incident at the bus station and a Terry Phelan goal) due to a last minute call-up elsewhere, and by the sound of it I missed one of the better performances of the year. Whether it was because [...]

Chocolate Teapot

Right, my brain is a bit addled from breathing in all that Yorkshire air, and I really don’t want to relive last night. Fortunately, AFCSyd has sent me a report on what really was a pile of complete horse toss. By the way, I’m not going to Godalming tonight, so anyone fancies it… Yorkie 5 [...]

It’s taken seven years, eight months and twenty seven days, but after Part Time 0 Full Time 3, it’s finally happened. Reality has bitten AFC Wimbledon. You would have to go back to the WFC era to experience not only hit a brick wall, but to remember the pain in your ribs for a few [...]
