Hard to believe it’s only one year to the day that we went up to Eastlands with more than a little trepidation, isn’t it? So much has happened in the time since Danny Kedwell showed Drogba how to net the most vital of vital spot kicks that it’s pointless reminding yourself. Instead, as the picture
Savour. Take in. Sponge in. Absorb. Imbibe. Assimilate. Soak up. Especially in reading the following words: AFC WIMBLEDON : CONFERENCE PLAYOFF WINNERS 2010/11 WILL BE PLAYING IN nPOWER LEAGUE TWO NEXT SEASON Wrote the first line above last night, added something today that means much, much more. So then, Football League 0 Non League 0
AFC WIMBLEDON : CONFERENCE PLAYOFF WINNERS 2010/11. In other words, nPower Football League Two 0 Blue Square Bet Premier 0 (4-3 on penalties) To be fair, I did make a promise to myself in January that if we got promoted to the Football League this season I would post this annoyingly catchy song. Anyway, we
No more needs to be said, really. Just before your editor finally flips out before tomorrow, a quick word about the press coverage we’ve received this past week. I’m hoping that I’ve read them correctly, but the tone of them seems spot on – not too triumpant (although I question Erik Samuelson saying we’re going
While this probably won’t be the only time I update this week, I don’t think I’ve ever wanted Saturday to come and go as quickly as I do right now. To be on the cusp of the Football League, and just one good 90 minutes away from making that step upwards, does play havoc with
Barring some Rory McIlroy-esque choking, even though we still have four games left we should be saving our pennies for some post-season playoff fun. The excitement, the anticipation, the stomach churning, the change of underpants… It’s that strangely relaxing time of the season where it doesn’t really matter what you do on the field of
It was always going to be the case that Robin Reliant 0 General Motors 0 would be one to test our credentials, to see how far we really have come in what appears almost an impossibly short space of time. Lucky? Yes. Unable to keep the ball in midfield? Certainly. Needing a spark of inspiration
How does the song go again? Top of the league, we’re having a laugh, isn’t it? After Easyjet 3 FlyGlobespan 0, I don’t think many people left Bedfordshire last night with much of a smile on their face. There certainly are even less happy expressions after Crawley got their 92nd minute winner against Gateshead… Personally,
Some post-Luton/pre-Oxford thoughts… – 48 hours or so after Luton, and I sense a distinct lack of getting carried away with Saturday. Maybe it’s because we knew we rode our luck a little bit, or whether we’re still in shock is unclear. I do suspect though a large part of that is due to us
On days like this, it all becomes worth it. I’ll be honest – I never expected to be writing about Easyjet 1 Ryanair 2. After the wobble against FGR, and the outright cock that was Cambridge eight days ago, this was a likely candidate to be our big expecting stuffing. I believe the expression for
