&quotDid you enjoy yourself?&quot she asked. &quotI never enjoy myself playing chess&quot, I replied. &quotWell why do you do it then?&quot she countered. I didn't know the answer then and I'm far from sure I know the answer now. I'm depressed now. No, I'm even more depresse...

Re:

4. As per my earlier post, if you can't hit the target from the penalty spot what are you doing on the pitch anyway.

I find it difficult to be as philosophical as some of you about penalty taking. A few points. 1. How do you justify having two 'strikers' sitting in the centre circle while a goalkeeper is taking a penalty? 2.

Re:

[quote=&quotSmileyMan&quot] Zebra was immense, though. I hope we can hang onto him. Sorry SmileyMan I have to disagree with you on this one. A player who can't hit the target from the penalty spot doesn't qualify as a professional footballer, never mind a striker! I hope he left the club tod...

I'm resigned to the fact that we'll never get the stadium. While Firoz can earn money from it, he will hang on to it or expect top dollar.

I voted yes, more for the feeling that the club as a whole is moving forward than the results on the field. Although Firoz rescued us from oblivion, there was never a feeling of long term planning on the footballing side. It hasn't been perfect this season by any means but factors such as training g...

I was there, but I went with a QPR fan and sat amongst the opposition. I was very good until the first goal went in and then I exploded! Couldn't understand why he didn't want to talk about the game on the way home.

Poll

I voted for Slumdon to be promoted.

Still living in hope that Wimbledon AFC will overtake MK Dons one day. They're in a play-off position at the moment I think?
