Re: Hard to get a Haydon over this one. AFC Wimbledon (H) - 04/03/17 3pm

I completely get that to an extent we've only got ourselves to blame for still being in embargo umpteen months after those in charge said it would be sorted - but how an appropriate punishment for getting in financial difficulties is not being allowed to play players from our own youth team is comp...

Re: Hard to get a Haydon over this one. AFC Wimbledon (H) - 04/03/17 3pm

I've no time at all for LoV or Batman, but to be fair it's not as if they were actively tweeting @JoshVela (or whatever his handle is) and calling him out. If Vela wants to click through to a fan site, he can't expect to like everything he reads, same as if he logged on here. Josh will deservedly wi...

Re: Hard to get a Haydon over this one. AFC Wimbledon (H) - 04/03/17 3pm

It is a bit bizarre that you've gone from slating Zachariah and saying you'd happily swap him to have ALF and Ameobi on loan, to now saying we really miss Clough and Le Fondre is a waste of skin. I'm not really convinced that there has ever been a sustained period where we looked like waltzing our w...

Re: Hard to get a Haydon over this one. AFC Wimbledon (H) - 04/03/17 3pm

First time I've seen ALF since his return, and I thought he was fine. He looked lively and, much like Klasnic, his reputation as a poacher belies the fact he's a clever footballer in possession. You couldn't design a side to play less to his strengths than the team we played yesterday though. Other ...

Re: Twas on a Tuesday night the gas man came to call, Bristol (H) 28/02/17 - KO 8pm

The Scunny defeat has given us a glimmer of hope. Win our game in hand to go second. While this may be true, we're surely only going to get so many chances to make a run on these teams. On Christmas Day we were four points behind Scunthorpe, they've taken 14 points from 12 games since (including lo...

Re: Sheff Utd (A) 25/2/17 3pm

Le Fondre played up front on his own last time he was here, didn't he? Bar the odd game where we wheeled out Big Emile, which basically amounts to the same thing. Of course, he had Clough, but I think he'd have more of a chance playing through the middle with Henry dropping off behind him, than a bi...

Re: Sheff Utd (A) 25/2/17 3pm

I think it's been obvious for a while now who PT wants as manager... King Ken. Judging from that entirely fictional dialogue, it sounds like he's got much more of a clue than Parky. As for ALF, I think I'd give him until the Fleetwood game to start showing signs of making an impact. Ultimately if we...

Re: Sheff Utd (A) 25/2/17 3pm

I'll wait until Parky has spoken about Madine. On the face of it though, we've had to travel away to the league leaders without our captain or main striker, for no other reason than they are both thick as shit. You've got to have some sympathy for Parky for that, Still, we've two home games coming u...

Re: The countdown- Where will we finish?

I make it there have been 48 relegation's involving 39 teams from the Championship to League One and of those only 9 bounced straight back (five as Champions). So it would be a fair achievement for Parky if we did manage it this year. Interesting. That made me dig out some research I did last March...

Re: The countdown- Where will we finish?

I suppose that in some respects, much of this speaks to what you regard as a 'Successful season'. Last July, that would possibly have been the club's survival, no administration and not suffering a further relegation. Had our accounts read differently last week, then there may have been cause for s...

Re: The countdown- Where will we finish?

Safely ease into fourth place and a playoff position. Beat Bradford in two emotionally charged semi-final games, lose to Millwall at Wembley.

Re: Saddling up Saturday

Hang on a second about Madine, i know he's not great but give the lad a chance. He scored at an important time to get us back in the game and set one up. Genuinely, what do people expect from him? Yes, he's limited, but considering we're stuck with him until his contract has run out, Parkinson has ...

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )

I don't believe I've seen any actual suggestion as to how much Ken has put in at a time, or indeed the timing of these instalments, but it's £3.5m in and £3.5m out as of February 2017. A Marc Iles piece yesterday divides it up. ...accounting information now proves he has put in £700,000 on five occ...

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )

King Ken spoke to a passionate, if slightly repetitive Jack Dearden (This can't go on Ken!? Can this go on Ken!? Surely what is happening now must not be allowed to continue Ken!?) before the game yesterday. Not masses of new information, although he does say that the ST's projections are bullshit a...

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )

Good question someone has posted on another forum. If KA didn't put any funds in initially and has only recently put in these interest free loans to keep the club going over the past few months (which he has also apparently since taken back out), how did he get 47.5% of the shareholding ? He must h...

Ken's done another 'statement' not really controversial this time. However this bit in it made me spit my coffee out all over my keyboard. Literally. Unfortunately, the earlier press reported feud which I previously said did not exist a couple of months ago does now exist. After a long week I canno...
