I see Auckland City have drawn Chelsea in the super cup thingy in Feb. That should be close....
Not quite - they have been drawn to face Al Jazira, the winner of which will play Al Hilal for the right to play Chelsea. SO unlikely they will get that far unfortunately.

For a start, Carrick benched Ronaldo for his first game in charge. That seems kind of strange.
If Ole had told Man Utd not to waste their money on Ronaldo he might still have a job.
Utd are at their best playing a pressing counter-attacking game. Ronaldo might get you 20 goals but he can't play that system and thus will lose you more games than he wins.
Of course the money he brings in off the pitch will keep the Glazers happy.
He wouldn't be happy to do it, but Ronaldo would really suit being a bench player to bring on with 25 to go and a goal or 2 needed. In fact he is perfect for that role, he's great in the air or on the ground. I wonder if City had that in mind when they were supposedly keen on him.

Ended one nil which is an awesome return for United - away to Chelsea. But crap for us.
So unhappy you assigned it as a defeat for Chelsea - nice work.

@crucial cheers
I heard a theory the other day that we may have payed more opposition clubs and at more opposition grounds than any other club. Just because almost all other clubs have bounced around 2-3 leagues where as we have played in 9 different leagues and one of very few that have gone from non league to the top tier

...and if you add MK Dons into the mix....
Always a good wind up mentioning MK to a true Wimbledon fan

Saw this good article on BBC.
Just for you @Kiwiwomble
Thats a pretty good write up actually. I think more could be made of the fact we've achieved it whilst still being +80% fans owned (one fan one vote) and the troubles around raising the money to build Plough Lane, crowd funding and selling off bonds in the stadium etc

Only oligarchs get press coverage.

EPL title race over
Liverpool now 11/1, Chelsea 23/1. Man City now overwhelming favourites to retain the title. Eight points clear. I think this will be Over Before Easter.

Amazing that the UCL has now become the consolation prize of English football
