@Hooroo you might regret that
this is a dream result for us, new ground only a couple of hundred meters up the road from the old one, 30 years after we were told there was no space for us in wimbledon and were sold and shipped 50 up the M1

Was it in 1990 you went to Milton Keynes??? I thought it was later than that (2000/2001/2002)???

@Hooroo ive combined a couple of things for simplification sake
Wimbledn FC ceased to be in 2003 and MK crawled out of a sewer somewhere
We had to sell plough lane in 1990 and groundshared with palace for over a decade, so havent been "home" for 30 years

That makes sense. I was there when MK Dons first started and the backlash from the fans made a fair back of back page reading.
Was Vinnie Jones playing for Wimbledon when he grabbed Gazza by the nuts?

Massive u-turn from Messi. He is staying at Barcelona.
Was it? Did anybody think he had the stones to leave?
I certainly didn’t.
The way I read it was that he has a 700M euro exit clause and Messi didn't want to fight the club in court over the terms (originally he argued that the June expiry date in the clause should have been changed because of the altered covid19 season). He's free to leave in 2021

just because i dont have many to talk about this with i'll just stick it here, new stadium looking great
also unbeaten in the league, 2 draws and a win and scoring 7...feels weird, will just be happy with some mid table mediocrity

@Kiwiwomble Uhm, which team & stadium?

sorry, we discussed it just a bit further back, Wimbledon, we'll be moving back to a new stadium on Plough Lane pretty much 30 years after having to leave when we were told there was nowhere to build a new stadium

Must say it's great having Leeds in the top flight. Love their high pressure style of football they play too. Their defence is very leaky despite their clean sheet against Sheffield Utd but they're very entertaining to watch.

Leicester vs City was unbelievable. Basically City went 1 nil up with ease, and then Vardy started to make every touch a winner. Two won penalties and a beautiful little clip for a well-earned hat trick. Maddison then kicked an absolute screamer.
Game ended 5-2 to leave Leicester top of the heap.
If you don't have any skin in the game, it's hard to not to feel something for Leicester. Fantastic team & Rogers has them humming.

@MajorRage I've grown to like Rodgers these days. I couldn't stand him at Liverpool with the rubbish he used to talk how bad his sides used to look when Suarez wasn't around. The spell he had at Celtic has done him good.

I didn't mind him at Liverpool, as one of the 5 people who don't support them. All jokes aside though, he got that job too early. He's been going great guns since he left. Don't think he has the charisma required to be at the very top level clubs.

Everton looked to have made some astute changes in the off season, Rodriguez in particular looking right at home in the EPL. Might give a few of the top teams a few headaches, although still early.
