I wanted Plymouth to win the play off final.Don`t really understand the hostility to MK as the argument that many football clubs would be franchised never materialized. Or is it, as I suspect, because Wimbledon got the better of United on several occasions? It's acceptable for a town/city to buy a football league club and claim it as their own? Rubbish argument mate as MK Dons also absolutely decked Utd when they last played them!!

AFC will come straight back down. Hope they enjoy themselves whilst it lasts. And what about us, are we good enough to stay up ? Yes, we are a much better team than AFC and have much bigger resources to draw on. This was the season when all of their stars aligned.

Even more galling for the Accies, Wimbledon were 10 points behind them with an inferior goal difference, sometimes the play offs are really unfair, but that's the rules everyone signed up to. We were very lucky, how many other competitions offer automatic promotion to three sides? The playoffs are a completely different beast to the 46 game slog and promotion goes to the side best equipped for what is essentially a 3 game tournament. Delighted for the Wombles and that our league will be 100% clear of child killers next season!

Effectively Winkelman brought Milton Keynes a football league team. Had they reformed in the regional non-leagues and rose up through the pyramid I might have a modicum of respect for them. As I remember it Wimbledon were being touted to all and sundry before winkleman got them they explored moving to Dublin and I know talks took place between them and Celtic as a route into the football league we must remember that football clubs are owned by individuals mostly and it amazes me this hasn't happened more often the fans now control the wombles and I hope they get the move back to Plow lane we all know how it feels to have to move about anyway as the famous saying goes "how did the argyle get on f**k the argyle"

If I were Reuben Reid i'd be pretty distraught I overhit a simple pass to put Carey in near the end when it was 0-1.
He may be from Bristol but no shout out for us to sign him please!!
Glad wombles won, think they are less competition next season.
Is it coincidence Plymouth started to drop when Brunt got injured?

Luke McCormick should NOT be playing professional football.

But where do you draw the line, are people only allowed certain jobs when they come out of prison? how would that work?
As much as the punishments almost never seem to fit the crime, they serve their time given to them by the courts and they do have a right to earn a living as they see fit.
Blame the clubs for taking on these people, if they didn't then we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Wimbledon FC won the cup. The supporters enjoyed it, but they didn't win it.
And the idea you can 'transfer' history from one club to another is bollocks borrowed from America, in my opinion.
