SW19's ARMY

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Or not, as the case may be. So, for the second Saturday in a row, the weather has beaten us. To be honest, I thought that it was going to be a tall order getting the Bradford game on because of the -4c predicted tonight. While the snow around SW19 Towers is disappearing quicker than [...]

Senior moment

REPD — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 10:55:33 +0000

Like 230 other stupid hardy souls, your editor popped down to Corinthian Casuals last night for the now-traditional embarrassing Slurrey Senior defeat at the hands of a team four divisions below us. Thankfully, the bar allowed their products to be taken outside to watch the game, which is just as well. Anyway, here are a [...]

Outmanoevered

Pacifists 1 Paras 2. It’s a shame there’s no prize money for winning the weekly Most Predictable Result contest, because at least we would have got something out of today. AFCW, meet Planet Earth. Just in case you were getting carried away. At least it will put a welcome roadblock on any pretentions that we [...]

AFC Wimbledon sign a defender shock

REPD — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:28:23 +0000

Blimey, it’s been quite busy in the transfer department over the past 48 hours, hasn’t it? And we’ve still got four days until the window shuts…. The big news – in fact, astonishing news – is that Terry Brown has finally signed a defender. The world really did stop when it was announced, although one [...]

Macc and cheese

A couple of thoughts from last night: - Nine points out of nine, eh? Be honest, who would have predicted that after the Swindon game? After that debacle, we would have been lucky to get nine points from the rest of the season. All of a sudden, and with almost no hint of irony, people [...]

Just like old times, continued

A few further random thoughts on yesterday, that I forgot to mention as I was close to crashing out. I promise to try and not mention our defence, as even TB has admitted he has to do something about it now, and I’ll attempt to keep the churlishness down to a minimum for once. I’ll [...]

Just like old times

After taking the picture below at half time (under recommendation from an SW19 reader), I might be tempted to buy one of these houses. I just hope they’re one of those three down, four up ones… Anyway, my first AFCW game since Barnet, and…….. Football, bloody hell. Seriously, bloody, bloody hell. Right now, I still [...]

AFC Wimbledon have won a League game

REPD — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 11:53:46 +0000

Do not adjust your computer monitor. It appears that AFCW has managed to win three points in a game, and away too. This remains unconfirmed though. Your editor was unsurprisingly elsewhere, and therefore doesn’t believe it. However, Warton Womble was, and swears blind that not only did it happen but we played semi-decently too. He [...]

And then there were five

REPD — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 10:51:02 +0000

It’s typical of AFCW this week that as soon as you have to deal with more pressing matters elsewhere, you end up missing yet another signing… Anyway, last night we got another youngster on loan, this time somebody called Billy Knott. As you know by now, he’s ex-Chelski and he’s on loan to us from [...]

And our new signing is….

REPD — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 17:51:58 +0000

… Jason Euell. I’ll wait until you pick your jaw off the floor before I continue. Don’t worry, the pain of it hitting will be worth it. Well, if that doesn’t cheer people up, nothing will. Even the most deluded of happy clapper would have admitted that up until now, this month has been a [...]
