The gift that keeps on giving for AFC, Sam Hammam, Merton BC and the apathetic locals = Just blame MK.

When Sam Hammam purchased WFC for a £1 in the early 80's, then within a year tried to move the club to Selhurst as a 4th division club = Just blame MK.
Sam Hammam paid a £1 to Ron Noades, who owned Palace and Selhurst Park (a property deal and share of the money right there) = Just blame MK.
When Merton BC removed the recreational clause for a payment of £750,000 from club funds, when they should've looked to secure the club's future in the borough first = Just blame MK.
When Hammam sold Plough Lane to Safeway in 1991 and pocketed the £8m (as above, nice cut for Mr Noades), thus removing the club's property assets = Just blame MK.

1991 - 2003 at Selhurst, relegation, without a Premier League place, on the road to liquidation - What, forget that right now. MK stole Wimbledon from Wimbledon.

Quick form a club ASAP and build it from a low cost base, which of course is fair and reasonable. Yet they ignore the fact that they knew they couldn't afford to fund WFC at Selhurst in the Championship, as a FL club thereafter. Doesn't stop them continuously whining about it.

Anyway COYMKD!!!

Some games I can't help but feel nervous for. This fixture always has been and always will be like that. We just can't lose to them. Please lads, just get it over the line.

Tomorrow could feel like a long day...

I shall be very tired and likely falling asleep in the stands, but I’m rushing around from work to make it tonight. I hope the players put as much effort in on the pitch

Can’t help but feel that tonight’s game is a pretty big one. I know the mantra should be ‘it’s just another match’ etc etc but this is both a derby game and a potential 6 pointer in the race for playoffs. Hopefully the team manage to hit the levels we all know they are capable off for the full 90 minutes.

Fingers crossed AFC get an early corner and Marschall makes a decent claim to settle everyone nerves.

AFC missing two key players, but have signed Ronan Curtis on a short term deal. Should be a very good player at this level. They've also signed John-Kymani Gordon, a player I was hoping we'd for for in the summer. Had a very decent loan with Carlisle in League 2 last year and will definitely cause us some problems.

I can't make this due to a family commitment. But I'll be checking my phone every 5 mins.

I'm nervous but I think we'll do 'em.
