Special SW19 update

EDIT: One more name added. Yes, I know I’m currently in the United States on my vacation. However, NA has finally released his initial cull of players. Rather helpfully too, I’ve got an hour to kill before I spend five days in Washington DC, so as is traditional at this time of year, here is

(Almost) one week on

REPD — Fri, 03 May 2013 11:01:16 +0000

Admit it, you’re only now starting to recover… The week after a major game that goes the right way is always like this – you’re still buzzing (or whatever the equivalent was last week) for a few days, then reality hits again but it deflates/lets you down slowly. And you sit back and reflect on

That was the season that was…

As we start winding down the emotion and trauma of the now happily departed 2012/13 season, it’s pretty natural to start reflecting about the last nine months or so. A lot has happened, and I mean, a LOT. Perhaps too much of it for one season, which at least may mean in 13/14 we get

Goodbye to 2012/13

REPD — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:32:47 +0000

Yes, farewell 2012/13. No, I mean it. Goodbye. Sayonara. Auf wiedersehen. Au revoir. Not missing you already. Fick dich. Fuck off and die. It took a lot of emotional trauma, a lot of nailbiting, too much stomach churning, even more bowel movements, a lot of anguish, much frustration, increasing moments of despair and the odd

Walking the walk

So, it’s come down to this……..? After about nine months of probably the worst season I can remember in 30 years, that didn’t involve club stealing, we are 24-and-a-few-more hours away from the end game for this season. It’s been a long while coming, but after a campaign that promised an improvement and delivered anything

And we continue to survive… I’m not sure if we realise just how big a point League One Next Season 2 Status Currently Unknown 2 will turn out to be. While there was always that hope that we would somehow – somehow – get a win at Priestfield yesterday, and somehow – somehow – Wycombe

New underpants, please

When the club announced a new line in the club shop was coming out today, I get the feeling it should have been offering AFCW branded underpants with toilet roll to boot… So, Squeaky Bum 2 Flabby Arse Cheeks 2. A game that could have gone very right but also could have gone very wrong.

An icon departs

Today, we lost an individual who polarised millions and whose actions changed attitudes forever. Those in favour will admire the ruthlessness and courage of conviction, those against will seethe at the uncaring attitude and destructive mentality. It is a day that people will remember and act accordingly to. Most will pay quiet thoughts, a few

April Fools Day, AFCW style

REPD — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 19:02:43 +0000

So, a must-win game. The proverbial six pointer. And coming off a loss on Good Friday, and looking to bounce back against a team with a lousy away record. Therefore, Over The Hill 0 Underhill 1 was always going to be on the cards. As far back as February, I convinced myself we were going

Pre Rotherham thoughts

For once, we’ve had a quiet week – and I don’t just mean not having the Saturday/Tuesday/Saturday/Tuesday/Saturday grind of recent times… OK, we’ve got two games in four days that could have been easier for us, but on the flip side we only have one calendar month left of what has been an, ahem, “testing”
