Ghouls, fools and the EFL

AFC WIMBLEDON are in trouble having refused to acknowledge Milton Keynes Dons by their full name, when the clubs met last week. The Football League are upset that Wimbledon left the word ‘Dons’ out of all mentions in the match programme and the name of their opponents off the cover. AFC, a phoenix club formed by folk with long memories and sizable grudges,

claim ‘Dons’ was stolen when Pete Winkelman took the original Wimbledon and its league status and moved them 80 miles north. And they’re right, of course. Indeed, for all the help the Football League were at the time, they are lucky to get a namecheck in any Wimbledon publication at all. Unless it is in the crossword section. ‘A total, feeble ghoul’ (anag, 3,8, 6).
