He comes across very well in that article: “Sasu admits the play-off final victory over Walsall was something of a full circle moment, given nine years prior he had watched Wimbledon win that game when he was preparing to join the academy aged 10. ‘To be there and part of the squad at Wembley felt surreal,’ adds the 20-year-old, who admits the Dons made sure to celebrate their achievement that night. ‘If you said five or six years ago when I was trying to push for my scholarship that I’d be part of the squad to get promoted, I’d have been amazed. You need to cherish those incredible moments.'”

A good football agent one would think!

Aron Sasu has a feature piece in the Daily Mail. WTF is that all about !!

Very quite in the transfer window apart from youngsters out on loan...

The communist running the country now want to close down x 😂😂😂

OtD - i think it is Jeff Bryant. The Boro players look like - Terry Cooper ,Peter Brine, Willie Maddren, Pat Cuff, Tony McAndrew, John Craggs and Stuart Boam.

I have Connell, Cooke, Edwards and Marlowe in the 1977 pic v Middlesbrough, not sure about fr left could it be Bryant?

That Arsenal vs Liverpool game last night was as dull a match I have seen this season, and I went to both our home games against Stevenage and Mansfield. Too much football over the past few months, lots of tired players and lots of players playing it safe. No bite. Referees go through fads, this year it is goalkeepers being counted down, next year goalkeepers will be sure to hold on to the ball too long again, a few years ago it was delaying a restart, players have gone back to standing in front of the ball to stop play, last year it was loads of injury time, referees seem to have gone back to 3-4 minutes as standard.

The 1978 game that is

It was 1978 SMDM, in 1979 we played them in the FA Cup but not on Boxing Day. I remember it as I was working in the White Lion pub and 5 minutes after opening up 100+ Portsmouth supporters descended on the pub. They were well behaved and Jack Ives made a bomb.

a4e - are you sure Roy wasn't ctiticising him for not kicking Bradley off the pitch.

Bradley, even though injured, wriggled himself further back onto the pitch.Neither he nor Martinelli showed the 'Corinthian spirit'.

Trigger - the pretending-to-be-injured time wasting tactic is worse now than it ever has been before, with players actually crawling back onto the pitch when supposedly hurt just so that the referee will stop the game… It needs to be stopped, and cards issued for it too… It made me laugh, however, that of all the people criticising Martinelli for trying to shove Connor Bradley off the pitch when he was genuinely injured last night, one of them was Roy Keane… 🤪😂😂 He’s hardly in a position to have a go at anyone for antics on (or off…) the field… 🤷🏻‍♂️

SMDM. I remember that Boxing Day, it was the only time I ever got wacked at a football match in 55 years of supporting Wimbledon.
