The last time I saw MK Dons they were called Wimbledon, and they beat us 1-0 at Selhurst Park. Stephen Hughes came on in the second half. The next day my father died.
Makes you think, doesn't it?

Next day, deaded.
Good timez.
Look on the bright side, though: he died when we were still champions and didn't have to watch Dennis miss that penalty.Quote:

black arse. Totally BNP. TH got that breakaway goal and they were spitting nails cos it was clearly "fackin offside". I resisted the temptation to point out that he started his run from a position at least 5 years on-side.Quote:

Wait, 3 of us were at some random league game at Selhurst Park in November 1998? What are the chances of that?Quote:

Best avoided outside of the summer months and always take a ground sheet or one of those camping chairs if the property is on the Bishops Avenue.Quote:
