Stifler Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 MK Dons vs AFC Wimbledon today, and the usually story of how both clubs were formed comes up. I don't like MK Dons because of how they were formed and that story is well known. However I can't believe how many people see the irony in how AFC Wimbledon were formed. They did not start out at the bottom of the football pyramid themselves, they were given a place in a league where new clubs shouldn't be entered. How can it not be ok for MK Dons to take Wimbledon's place and have a head start on clubs in the league system, yet it's ok for AFC Wimbledon to have a head start on small non-league clubs who have been going through decades of trying to to progress? They started nine or ten tiers down, given there's only 11 in total it seems a bit unfair that you're trying to portray them as being pushed straight into the Conference or National league which they most certainly weren't. So yeah, no irony at all. As you were. Actually for a club in their location they could go as far down as step 14-16. Also how about they are selling the lease of Kingstonian FC's ground to Chelsea which will likely make Kingstonian FC homeless after they allowed them to ground share whilst they had no ground and part of the reason they got in on the lease was on the promise that Kingstonian FC will always be allowed to play there?

Astroblack Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Was watching the Sergio Ramos last minute winner and got to wondering who the best header-er of the ball is? C Ronaldo is the best I've seen. Excellent leap and timing. The one he scored against Roma in the CL was probably the best headed goal I've ever seen. Speed, desire and bravery. I don't even think he was in the camera shot when the cross was put in. Shearer's another. He scored a boat load of them. Tim Cahill had a knack for scoring headers despite not being the biggest. Seem to remember Klose scoring a lot. Anytime I saw barca take a corner, Puyol would get on the end of it. His will to win was incredible. If anyone knows a good sire for headed goal stats, please post it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Crespo for Inter against Ajax is one of my favourite headed goals. When it comes to an impressive leap, Sir Les was right up there also... Literally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sun have pictures of the roof of the stadium covered in blood where a body has landed and grim pictures of other bodies covered up. Apparently the bomb went off 2 hours after the match, I wonder why they let it off that late if the intention was to kill as many people as possible.

Tiresias Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Chelsea are definitely abysmal for player discipline, blamed that on Mourinho for a while really. The fracas there though was definitely city's fault, Chalobah I think it was ran over to remonstrate after that abysmal Aguero tackle but he only got a yellow (and rightly so) so feels slightly harsh that this should be what tips them over the edge, but makes sense from persistent poor behaviour point of view.

The College Dropout Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Best header-ers that are active? Real actually have a few - Ronaldo, Ramos & Bale. Cahill is probably my favourite because that's 100% technique with a great leap - the timing, the aggression etc. Les Ferdinand is of that ilk. Ramos to a degree. Most likely shorter than the people who are marking them but brilliant at attacking the ball and can put it anywhere. Loved a Didier header. Currently in the PL - Carroll and Benteke are my favourite. It's beautiful seeing those lads have a run up against a defender when the ball is hung up in the air. You can tell they're going to score just the way the defender is under the ball, it's hung up there and he's striding in like a Lion. Aguero and Messi better in the air than you would realise too. That Aguero header where he was offside the entire time essentially relegated us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Gary Speed and David Speedie are the two I look back on and think that despite their size, they regularly out jumped 6 foot plus men. Both had unbelievable hang time. Keegan was like that too come to think of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
