havanatopia Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Well here we are lads and lasses on the day when 2nd entertains 1st. The best two teams, as of this day, lock horns for the reverse fixture of earlier in the season when City earned a narrow 1 goal advantage in our 3-2 home win. I think we were worth a bit more than that from what I have read and seen so today we can probably afford ourselves being 2nd best but, of course, still winning. That is all that will matter especially today. I think the travelling maraud will be so entertained by their own electric atmosphere that a poor display will not matter two hoops just as long as we win. Is this the proverbial 'pivotal' seasons defining match for both teams? is it just another match? The first question may not be cut and dried but the second i think we can say an emphatic 'no' to. I am still pondering what more to write here about the 'history' of a club many feel is somewhat mythical. Perhaps assuaging the more vitriolic amongst us by placing the word 'Dons' in inverted commas nothing will quell the discussion that polarises opinion and that will no doubt rumble for another generation... How does one try and summarise the history of this club in one paragraph? Impossible. One thing I needed to be reminded of though is that the idea of moving the club first came from Sam Hammam, was put into action by a couple of Norwegians, and finally made to happen by Pete Winkelmam who, at the time was a shareholder in a supermarket and stadium scheme that were looking for any team to move to MK not just Wimbledon; - PW finally buying the club in entirety to stop it going into Liquidation. So, from what I can gather here.. He saved a club from becoming extinct long after the move to MK was mooted, developed and signed up to. The vitriole against him or the club, in general, is perhaps understandable but i think one should be shouting down Sam Hammam more than anybody else or perhaps the two Norwegians. The entity itself has long since moved away from those early instigators. And while I of course do not understand the nuances and 'devil in the detail' information one move by PW that, for me, clears him of being the hate victim, if not saving a club in administration, was the handing back of all the trophies to Wimbledon.. and, of course, rightly so in 2006. Wimbledon football club is not MK Dons or vice versa and it is far too simplistic to blame the team that resides in MK on the temporary disappearance of Wimbledon.. That somebody saved the then existing Wimbledon would not have done so had the club remained in an unsustainable ground share with Palace. Anyway... I am not a fan of the Dons from MK and the sooner they drop that title from their name the better; no trophies and no history so why use it? End that anomaly and they might get a few more on side. back to now.. I salute every single fan going today.. please make some noise like you have never before and give us that 12th man and why not the full subs bench while you are at it. No reason, whatsoever, why we cannot win this match. Consistently proving we are the best team in this division and, to my mind, we should be farther ahead than we are; lets start doing that from today. 1-2 Agard and JET.. when he comes on. 5,030 City Fans 11,110 Keyners.

Cotham Brow Red Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Looking forward to going back to MK after 15years but memories won't cloud my judgment. Tight affair 2-1 reds. COYR Quote Link to comment
Garland-sweden Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hard to guess the result but with our support there I hope at least for one point. Always believe. Coyr Quote Link to comment

More a case of vital that MK win from their perspective, I believe we still are holding the nap hand no matter what the result. A 2-2 draw would be a good day out. Quote Link to comment

old_eastender Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Think there will be goals, I'm going 2-2 which would be a better result for us than them. Quote Link to comment
TheDon. Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Winkelman gave the trophies to Merton Council, not AFC Wimbledon, just to clarify. Quote Link to comment

TheDon. Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Have a good day out BCFC fans, I am sure you will have a decent day regardless of the result, it is not as bad of an awayday as people make out IMO (maybe on a cold Tuesday night). You just have to plan where you are going pre game in advance. I would recommend either of the Wetherspoons in the city centre, the pubs in Fenny Stratford or The Enigma Tavern in Bletchley. I will be in The Moon Under Water (Wetherspoons at the Xscape) from 12 and expect to see a few of you lot in there. May the best team win. We are both going up anyway 5 Quote Link to comment
havanatopia Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Winkelman gave the trophies to Merton Council, not AFC Wimbledon, just to clarify. Correct. I wonder why? Wrong or right.. the Council could give them to Wimbledon and maybe they have already. Perhaps there is a reason for it. Further investigation required. Safe keeping for the day when Merton can offer to home to Wimbledon? Quote Link to comment

It was decided that neither team could lay hand to the trophies as they rightly belong to neither. It was the logical option as it is now open to both fans. I have certainly been.

If MK win, they are one point ahead of City, but we have a game in hand. A draw maintains the status quo. A win for City, not only increases our lead to five points with a GIH, but every goal we score adds to our GD and diminishes theirs. It's MK who'll be thinking "Vital not to lose".

Today is a massive game but not the be all and end all. Mark Little said that it is perhaps the so called "smaller" games that will define our season. And I think he is right. If we win the games we should win between now and the end of the season we'll be alright whatever happens today. Edited February 7, 2015 by Numero Uno Quote Link to comment
Manon Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Yup have a great day you lucky sods. As I sit here, I can sense the city in motion as the red army begins to mobilise eastwards. Conquer and return victorious please. Quote Link to comment
OldlandReddies Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 They need to not lose more than we do if that makes sense ? If we lose and then win our game in hand we will go back in front of them. If they lose they will be 5 points behind having played a game more which would be very difficult to make up. The pressure is all on them. This is a really hard one to call but I can see us scoring at least 1 goal and when we have scored this season we have not lost. All we can ask is that City play as well as they have all season and if that happens and MK still beat us then fair play to them. COYR's !!!! Quote Link to comment
where's the joy Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 1-1 will do me nicely although last time we took a big crew to coventry 3-1 did me nicely too stopping them running through our midfield will be key so lots of yellow cars me thinks Quote Link to comment

Discipline will be key, and would not be surprised if it does not end 11 v 11. Quote Link to comment

I somehow can't envisage City being the beneficiaries of ridiculous match changing decisions. We'd just have to grit our teeth and get on with it, I suppose.

TNBT Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Like others have said it's a must not lose game for MK really, I'll be happy with a 0-0 draw or a draw whatever the score but 0-0 as that would be the end them scoring so many as they seem to keep doing grr. Hoping that we come out victorious 1-3 going in 1-1 at half time then coming out scoring quickly then putting in another around the 75th minute as they chase a equalizer meaning they have to keep leaving more space to try get something from the match then maybe we can score more than the 1-3 I hope for :-) COYR's!!!
