"dad, who are Ipswich playing tonight?"
"AFC Wimbledon", I answered.
"Who's best?"
And I had to stop and think. Jeez, how bad is that?! In my own lifetime, we've rubbed shoulders with European giants and humbled English champions. Now I genuinely have to consider if we're better than a team who were formed less than 20 years ago and held trials on a Common.

Split hairs however you like, I think my point stands. | | | |

To a lesser degree if you consider Wimbledon are over 100 years old, have won the FA cup etc. That's what I was getting at.
We have no right to be anything other than that which we are. History means very little and this is part of the current problem, the players need to come to terms with where we are and what we need to do to get promoted. And fast. | |

Why did they renounce all claim to Wimbledon FCs history and honours then? | |

Wimbledon became MK Dons - They didn't give the club back to AFC Wimbledon. | | | |

I had similar with my wife.
"Who are Town playing tonight?"
"Wimbledon"
"Didn't know they even had a team!"
Doh! | | | |

Their current fans will doubtless harbour various degrees of historic anger etc, but, as fans: Wimbledon was Wimbledon, is Wimbledon, and evermore shalt be. | |

And in the process Wimbledon FC ceased to exist. So it is no way a fact that Wimbledon FC and MK Dons are one and the same.
AFC Wimbledon are the spiritual successors to Wimbledon FC. MK Dons are simply a club from Milton Keynes who bought Wimbledon FCs place in the league. | |

This is all true, the only issue seems to be that AFC Wimbledon are claiming they won the FA Cup in 1988 which patently isn't true. |  | | |

Well, from the stats last night there appears to be an answer
Town = 63% possession; 14 shots; 6 on target.
The wombles didn't have one shot on target
Can't score is the problem isn't it?
If those 6 had gone in would anyone be moaning today? | | | |
