  • What's this? 'Our bird's got more heads than yours'? Bloody show-offs.

  • Hopefully it means their defenders don’t know which way to turn when McCleary has the ball!

  • It’s like a nightmare I once had after picking up my Griffin Savers pack from Midland bank. I don’t think my one had stolen a pretzel though.

    A pretzel and an apricot Danish

  • Mango Danish surely?

  • It's a little lo-fi and shambolic but that and the phoenix , given where this incarnation come from, adds a bit of charm.
    Some of their fans have been a bit gobby about what is a genuinely wonderful achievement but still never forget?The franchise.

  • Yorkshire rose and a pecan platt flown in by a 1930’s Central European fascist dictatorship- and horror of horrors the club name on the shield.

  • It's not a phoenix, it's a double-headed eagle, derived from Julius Caesar's coat of arms and the dodgy legend that he once camped on Wimbledon Common. Can't find any info about the shit on its wings, a bit annoying that.

    Ah, good spot, using the animal from the crest of the local council rings a bell and seems commendable

  • The Albanian flag has a double-headed eagle. A good omen...?

    Speaking of Anis, keep an eye out for Wimbledon's Ayoub Assal - 19, similar kind of player, has his sights set on playing for Morocco. Only one MF in L1 (Luke Jephcott, Plymouth) takes a higher % of their touches in the oppo box than those two.

  • Think I can see Orion’s Belt in the star chart above.

    No idea what it means but seeing as the Anis star is higher I take that as a good sign.

    Don’t remember too many Wimbledon games but hopefully today is one of them.

  • ………Ayoub to receive ‘hard but fair’ welcome to AP from Thomo on four minutes.

  • Overall touches from left to right, touches in box from bottom to top

    Oh. Thank you.

    So if I read that correctly the Wimbledon guy touches the ball less than any other midfielder? That does seem that impressive. Not sure what I’ve missed.

  • He does, but a high proportion of those are in the opposition box ('threatening' touches, if you like).

  • Likes a dribble, basically - although not as much as Anis, who's getting a hat-trick today ?

    Remember Crewe….

    Hopefully he wears a bib on the pitch during these covid times!

    I'm taking the 'keep predicting things and eventually I'll get lucky' approach now ?

  • We should be seeing teams like this off at home. 3-0. We need to give out a pasting sooner or later, it should have been Burton Tuesday

  • Not a fan of that badge, mostly as pointed out above because it looks like a dodgy fascist dictator’s flag. 2/10

    Luke Jephcott is a centre forward not a midfielder.

  • FFS that was horribly soft

  • Keystone cops defending there.

  • That was…easy

  • Poor goal to concede. Need to settle

  • Why do we make it so hard for ourselves?
