MK Dons’ Alex Gilbey holds nerve to knock out AFC Wimbledon in shootout

13/08/2019 - “We are the resurrection‚“ read a banner in the Chemflow End at Kingsmeadow but it was the false prophets who came away with the victory after Alex Gilbey converted the winning penalty. MK Dons beat AFC Wimbledon after a 2-2 draw in normal time that saw the hosts lead early and claim parity at the last. Dons have now won five of the eight matches contested between the pair since AFC were founded in an act of opposition to the first – and to this day the only– franchised football club.The historic enmity between these two teams shouldn’t need explaining. Some of the more recent contretemps might, however. One such instance occurred the last time these two teams met at Kingsmeadow a year ago, when Wimbledon denoted their opponents as simply ‘MK’ on the scoreboard and programme cover. A charge of misconduct followed, and then mediation, which concluded Wimbledon must write MK Dons in full at future fixtures. This was agreed in principle by both clubs. In practice, the scoreboard was Collapse

12/08/2019 - AFC Wimbledon’s manager pulled off an extraordinary escape in League One last season and is now preparing to meet the club’s bitterest rivalsWally Downes has been dissecting moments from an unprecedented six months that will forever live in AFC Wimbledon’s history for almost an hour when conversation sticks on an epic war film, the Great Escape, which quickly became a byword for the club’s extraordinary tale of survival in League One last season. And there was talk of another thriller on the terraces. “They couldn’t work out if it was Mission Impossible or the Great Escape,” he says, smiling. “I prefer the Great Escape because that’s only been one and Tom Cruise seems to rock up every 18 months for Mission Impossible. I wouldn’t fancy going through that again.” Related: AFC Wimbledon’s Neal Ardley: ‘If the Crazy Gang happened now we’d all be in prison’ Continue reading... Collapse

30/07/2019 - Sunderland, so near after going so far last season, are fancied again with Portsmouth while Peterborough and post-Oyston Blackpool could challenge for play-off spotsIt was little solace to a sore Sunderland dressing room at Wembley in May when Jack Ross said play-off heartbreak would strengthen his team but now, 10 weeks on, is the time to prove the bruising was not lasting. They froze that day, being too predictable, sheepish and slovenly in possession. Ross’s side came away empty-handed after a 61-game campaign despite losing only five times in the regular season. Nineteen draws hamstrung their automatic promotion hopes but they look primed to challenge for a top-two finish this time and the biggest question marks surround Ross and not his squad.
