"It only took nine years" was the cry from South-West London last summer, when AFC Wimbledon won
promotion back to the Football League after a dramatic penalty-shoot-out win as if there is any
other sort against Luton Town at The City of Manchester Stadium in the Blue Square Premier play-off
final.
Karl Robinson and his Milton Keynes Dons side make the short journey down to the Lamex tomorrow
night in what could be a pivotal match as both sides look to cement their position in the League 1
play-off positions. MK Dons sit one place above Stevenage going into the game, although the Dons
are 5 points clear with the bonus of a game in hand.

As things turned out, Heidar Helguson's late equalizer in Milton Keynes on Saturday afternoon
wasn't quite enough to keep Neil Warnock in his job. Rangers without a win of any description in
the FA Cup for a decade may well remain in the competition for now, but Warnock won't be at Loftus
Road for the replay.

Throughout the day, the QPR Report Messageboard has news updates,
comments and perspectives - even links to other board comments of interest re QPR matters (on and
off the field) along with football (and ONLY football) topics in general.
In a day of very few shocks, two Premier League sides Bolton and Wigan were surprised by lower
league opponents in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.
Wigan's troubled season took another turn for the worse as they crashed out 2-1 too League Two
side Swindon Town. Calum McManaman had put Wigan 1-0 up but Swindon, managed by Italian Paolo Di
Canio, struck back to claim a famous win with goals coming from Alan Connell and Paul Benson.
Oh fuck me. The FA Cup is back.
Now, I'm not one of those EPL-centric, footballing-history-started-in-1992 type people. I just
hate the FA Cup. I hate how misused the FA Cup is in terms of broadcasting (both online and
televised).
Last March I wrote a post about how College Basketball's March Madness is presented in
America.

Thedraw for the third round of the FA Cup was made on Sunday afternoon, with the occasion
throwing out a few tasty looking ties, none more so than the meeting of City and United.
Sir Alex Ferguson will no doubt have wanted a rather easier draw, although the chance to get
some revenge for the 6-1 mauling at Old Trafford might well give United an extra incentive in this
game.

There was nothing concrete upon which to link Birmingham City winning the League Cup with their
relegation from the Premier League at the end of last season, of course, but it didn't stop some
from asserting exactly this and it hasn't stopped panicky-looking managers whose main ambition for
this season is to finish seventeenth in the Premier League from effectively binning England's
second cup competition.
With Tottenham heading to the capital of Scotland with more walking wounded than a scene from
Braveheart, one player's ill-fortune is another's chance.
Tottenham have five first team central midfielder's out, with Tom Huddlestone, Wilson Palacios,
Luka Modric and Sandro all falling foul to the rigours of the summer break!

Liverpool were drawn away to League One side Exeter in the second round of the Carling Cup,
while city rivals Everton will host Sheffield United.
Meanwhile, Doncaster host Leeds in a Yorkshire derby, while Sunderland face a long trip south to
Brighton.
Today is a day in football terms that I have been looking forward to for a couple of months now.
Why that long? Well this is simply when I ordered the tickets for day 1 of this annual pre-season
tournament, at allegedly "the best stadium in the country".
Getting to the stadiumChances to get to the bigger stadiums are few and far between for
myself due to two reasons - availability and cost.

This is a bonus game as with being out all day tomorrow down in London, I didn't even look at any
possible fixtures for this evening. It was only a phone call from Kev Zupp on Tuesday who asked I
fancied meeting up for this game, and having thought about it and also
getting permission
from the wife decided to head south into Northamptonshire.

Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler has admitted he's dreaming of a coaching return to Anfield in the

Milton Keynes Dons and Bury, is currently taking his UEFA badges in an effort to extend his career
within the game.

- Congratulations to Swansea, promoted to the Premiership.
This isn't going to be a normal preview, but then again it's not a normal game. Stevenage travel
up to the North West and Old Trafford with League 1 football firmly in their sights. Torquay are
the only team that stands between us visiting Bramhall Lane rather than Underhill. The loser will
have to make a visit to Accrington again, while the winner gets to take in Preston and Milton
Keynes.

After 120 minutes of goalless toil, AFC Wimbledon beat Luton Town on penalties in the Blue
Square Premier League play-off final at Eastlands to secure themselves Football League status for
next season an astounding feat once you factor in that the club were only formed as a non-league
outfit nine short years ago in protest over the FA's decision to dissolve the original Wimbledon
and replace them with 'Franchise FC' 80 miles up the M1 in Milton Keynes.
Congratulations to AFC Wimbledon who have today been promoted to the Football League. Whenever I
think of Wimbledon, I always remember this quote:
'It should be in the interests of football as a whole that major new stadia are encouraged
where there is an untapped demand for major league football, such as in new towns.
LONDON, England AFC Wimbledon won promotion to the Football League for the first time in their
history with a dramatic penalty shoot-out win over Luton at Eastlands. After a goalless 120
minutes, top scorer Danny Kedwell netted the winning kick after Dons keeper Seb Brown saved from
Alex Lawless and Jason Walker.
"Not in the wider interests of football". We mentioned this astonishing statement, made on the
subject of a new club starting in SW19 at the time that Wimbledon FC was being franchised to Milton
Keynes, during our report of the first leg of this evening's Blue Square Premier Play-Off between
AFC Wimbledon and Fleetwood Town, but it is a statement that cannot and should not be repeated
enough when mentioning tonight's home team.
Residing in Milton Keynes won't seem so bad this Saturday when I make the 15 minute drive up to
Northampton to hopefully watch Boro go one step closer to securing their League 2 play-off
place.
On a visit to Northampton last summer some time, I had a wonder around the ground and took a
couple of pictures of their Sixfields Stadium.

If he hasn't already, Clarence Goodson appears to be cementing a starting spot for Brondby
IF.
Goodson started his second game of the season for Brondby on Monday, and he helped the club
shutout Randers FC, 4-0, with a 90-minute performance.

Following soccer in the United States can be difficult when you're a relative newcomer, and finding
a team to call your own even more so. I've wanted to find a time to root for most of my time here.
It's all very well staying aloof to the vagaries of the club season, but supporting a soccer team
is fun, and I don't want to miss out.
AT LAST!!!
Lib-Dem councillors attack spending cuts
More than 90 prominent Liberal Democrat councillors, including the leaders of 18 local authorities,
have criticised the scale and pace of government cuts.
In a letter to the Times, they say cuts will have "an undoubted impact on all front-line council
services, including care services to the vulnerable".

Milton Keynes Dons 1 Plymouth Argyle 3 - Football League OneIn the 1960s, the UK Government decided that a further generation of new towns in the South East
was needed to relieve housing congestion in London. Studies identified north Buckinghamshire as a
possible site for a large new town, encompassing the existing towns of Bletchley, Stony Stratford
and Wolverton.

match tickets were purchased with ease. My introductory experiences of international tournaments
have rarely unfolded with such simplicity.
Faz and I arrived at the Khalifa Stadium in Doha last night genuinely excited at the prospect of
witnessing the opening ceremony of the Asian Cup.
