AFC Wimbledon have signed construction contracts on their build at Plough Lane. It’s 18 years ago to the day that the authorities signed off of the death of Wimbledon by authorising the move to MK.

It just goes to show what can be achieved by a group of properly intentioned, committed people. I’d love to see a PL game played at the new Plough Lane some day.

Why has the video turned into a picture on here ffs :rofl:

Tony Adams taking a step forward, raising his arm and shouting offside to catch any opposition player daring to beat an Arsenal offside trap under Graham.

From his working class background Sir John Chippendale Lindley Keswick dragged his way through Eton with the meagre earnings his father got from his banking dynasty and then went on top become Chairman of Hambros Bank.
Remembering his working class upbringing he donated large amounts to the Conservative Party and enjoys hunting.

He was famous for never looking down at his fellow working man and treating the supporters with respect and honesty.

Good riddance.

World cup rewind on BBC, so far had Brazil vs Netherlands 1994 (Bergkamp was immense despite the defeat), and Argentina vs Serbia at world cup 2006. Easy to forget how good that Argentine team was, if Messi was a few years older at the time they probably would’ve dominated

And to add to that if the 2006 Brazil team had a focused Adriano, a better and fitter R9 and a more on form Ronaldinho it would have been mesmerising.

So true, in hindsight neither of those teams should’ve been kicked out by Germany and France (despite still being great of course).

It was great seeing Riquelme, Cambiasso, and Crespo in the same team. They are the sort of players which make the game look so effortless

Riquelme and Cambiasso had such unreal (word stolen from @Calum) quality for midfielders. Great balance, great players.

Tbf they should’ve kept R9 on the bench at that time. He was way past it at that time, while Adriano was in prime, and Robinho was actuallly quite good too at that time.

Yeah Ronaldinho did nothing, but I think their tactics were shit… they tried to play too many stars at once, no balance, no players to work for the stars… In 2002 they had much better balance with 3 CBs, Gilberto and Kleberson in the middle, R. Carlos and Cafu as wing backs with a lot of attacking freedom, and “Ro-Ri-Ro” up front with all the freedom in the world.
In 2006 they played a 442 with aged R. Carlos and Cafu at the back who had to do more defensively, only Emerson as a DM, with Ze Roberto next to him (obviously Gilberto should’ve played) and 4 players up front who did almost nothing defensively.

Something Gilberto is doing at the moment on his Twitter - who would make your all time Brazilian eleven?
