    MK Dons Match Thread - The Great Escape (Game 1)

    I reckon it'll be shaken up. For example, Fleck may be given a freer role.

    MK Dons Match Thread - The Great Escape (Game 1)

    Samuel Jackson? Surely he's to old to start playing footie.

    John Hartson

    Hartson and Di Canio double act. That would liven up the half time team talks.

    Phil Babb

    I laughed when I heard we had bought Dublin. I'd seen him the season before several times with a Cambridge supporting mate on their cup run and whilst he was decent at that level I never saw Premiership in him. I was wrong.

    What good have sisu actually done for the club?

    They brought quality football to Northampton.

    Michael Doyle star man

    Another player who looked quite limited at the time but would enhance our current midfield. Doyle next to Fleck would bring out the best in Fleck too.

    CET: totally correct grammatical sentence shocker! Stokes trial.

    If you won the double......

    More like a tax on the stupid. The expected return on the jackpot alone (assuming £46mm jackpot) is 39p for every £2 ticket. I cannot be arsed to work out all the smaller prizes and add them up - but at best I assumed they sum to £1 expected return. What that means is that it is effectively a...

    If you won the double......

    The probability of matching all seven numbers is 0.00000086 % (excuse format, copied from Excel) If we assume there are 10k supporters who might invest some of their £46mm overage winnings in CCFC & each one buys 10 tickets, the probability of one of those winning in any one week is...

    As it stands

    Nobody this time thinking we'd walk Div' 2. Indeed, I'm more worried about the other end of that table.

    If you won the double......

    Yes, I'd have to win more than £20mm before I considered spending it on football. Family and friends come first.

    CET: Happy Birthday Cyrille Regis

    You were wrong, it was a tired old hack telling City fans they are illiterate and don't support Coventry well enough.

    Waggott - We Have Emerged Stronger From January Than When We Entered it

    He's wrong. In January we got 5 points from 5 games = 1 point per game. In Feb we have 1 point from 2 games = 0.5 points per game. We're upping the tempo of descent.

    I can't understand how keyboard warriors can aim such bile at a team they purport to

    Sorry to hear that - bit personal for a public forum. Have you tried viagra?

    I can't understand how keyboard warriors can aim such bile at a team they purport to

    "illiterate"? Well yes, naturally there are some under-educated fans who comment but there are also plenty who can expresses themselves perfectly in English. However Alan has the benefit of proof readers and I still occasionally cringe with the spelling and grammatical errors. Dunning Kruger...

    The Pressley Myth

    I expect a cycle now. In 12 months or so I hope we'll have seen Thomas and Madison lifting us up League 2. SISU will insist they are sold and we'll start the inevitable descent down that league.

    The Pressley Myth

    You're right - he was. Wrongly assumed that as he was Scottish SP had signed him. Dispel the myth? I think the OP has proven it's true.

    The Pressley Myth

    However, of that team, Clarke, Adams and Wilson were already at the club. Clarke and Adams must have been injured and Pressley got lucky that Wilson matured over that Summer. All he added was Fleck and Webster - and people may argue that Webster wasn't an improvement. Also, surely it wasn't...

    Is it time for "we want Pressley out " at matches ?

    I don't think she would. She's a very stubborn person and it would cost her money to do so.
