0% Villa - AFC Wimbledon...
« on: May 21, 2011, 05:49:06 PM »
...have made it to the football league!!!

Back in 2002 when franchise football came our way I never thought the open trials on Wimbledon Common would produce a club that got in to the football league.

Fair play to them! 

Next challenge is to get the opportunity to stuff MK Dons!!!

Putting aside the issue of franchise FC, and thats not easy whever you talk about Wimbledon, personally, and it may not make me overly popular, I fucking hate them.  They polluted the top division for about 10 years with their brand of thuggery, crap football and alehouse football it makes me shudder thinking back about it and gave some sort of justification for the crap football thats been carried on by other clubs/managers for the past 15 years(yes I'm looking at you Allardyce and Pulis).

The sooner they bugger off back to non League the better.

Despite possessing somewhat of a 'reputation', I've always felt for the Wimbledon fans for the obvious reasons. Good to see them back in the Football League, and it's a shame for Luton who lost in the semi's last year.

Yeah, let's keep the Premier League pure, with teams that can afford to be there!

Well done to them, it's a great story. it's also good that a lot of the old Wimbledon players go back and watch them play, some are even involved I believe - and treat it as the same old club (rather than following MK).

It does mean we drop a position in alphabetical order now though.

Next stage, we want to see them above that lot from Milton Keynes.
Hopefully MK will  fall out the league because they are only there in the first place through cheating and robbery.

Ideal world will see Luton promoted next season.  40 points deductions in 6 months still isn't fair!

It's success stories like this that may make me believe in football once again.

Well done for doing what many people would not have thought possible. I expect they are under no illusions about what happens from here in terms of fans being in control of the game, but at least they have made a statement.
They have also given a fair bit of help to FC United up here, and what ever you think about them or the team itself, you cannot say they are not genuine fans.

A bit harsh on Luton considering the punishments they have received but it was wimbledon's day so fair play to them.
