And Eubank beating Benn again Saturday !

Ah yes - the magic of the Ttroohy

Trigs-EFL Ttroohy draw live on Sky tomorrow arvo

Very boring week and a half ahead football wise. No Dons game and even the England game is a dead rubber from our point of view.

a4e, offered to people when they hit 65. IIRC, also shingles which is two jabs about six-months apart

Kite - I’ve been offered a pneumonia jab too… 💉

We have been very lucky/successful in player sales over the last few years but the problem with relying on player sales to make up for core operating losses is that you eventually run out of decent players to sell, which I think is where we are now. Whatever the 2024/25 accounts look like (they are definitely due out soon) it seems highly likely that the 2025/26 figures, when we see them, will be even worse.

BTW, if you have a chance get your flu vaccine. The flu mutation this year 25/26 is pretty lethal according to what the southern hem have experienced plus early cases in UK are well above prior years

Kitey - I get the impression that we'll need Cope/Jackson to sell big in January to plug the hole. Just at a time the squad is going to need a boost as it's paper thin.

RK - yes they are

Are Stockport Co still in FA Cup?

Cardiff also out of fa cup but have already rearranged a fixture

If we draw Northampton in cup, maybe it could be played on 6 Dec as both teams out of the fa cup

Pete, liverpool u21 finished bottom of group [Link]

Someone might be willing to buy Orsi for £10 million

Keefy - Liverpool U21 through as well.

Mad, I suspect we'll have to eat the operating loss this year 25/26 and just hope it's no worse than Mick's £1.1m trou noir

Do we think we have any players we can sell in January for more than peanuts to plug the black hole?

Thats sad news, RIP

Very sad news, used to work with him and others at the original Plough lane , counting and banking the gate money.

For anyone who knew him, John Balchin passed away this morning.

Are we seeing our spine weakened by too many international call-ups? Hippolyte has a friendly for Grenada, Johnson is part of the Northern Ireland camp and Bugiel called-up for the Lebanon squad. Bugiel/Lebanon is an interesting one to look at, an Asian Cup fixture on the 18th November, followed by a FIFA Arab Cup qualifier v Sudan on the 26th November. If Lebanon beat Sudan they qualify for the FIFA Arab Cup tournament, which takes place in Qatar between 01st - 18th December 2025. If Lebanon defeat Sudan, they will play 3 other teams in a group of 4 teams. We could lose him for this period in December. In late March 2026 Lebanon have their final Asian Cup qualifier v Yemen. Lebanon currently top their group, with Yemen two points behind in second. Asian Cup Finals early 2027.

I had a look back to season 2018-2019 and the English F.A doubled the financial pot for the F.A.Cup. Previously in 2017-2018 a loser at Preliminary round would receive no amount but that changed from season 2018-2019, so i can now presume AFC Wimbledon prudently budget a First Round proper losers amount for each season.

Apparently it’s just the first 4 we could play away, draw live on Sky 2.30pm tomorrow

Can you play the team you played in the group?
