Disappointed that someone has used the incorrect "the hoi-polloi" on here.

Spit - best caption IMHO - 'Andrew jumped straight in when I told him it was a fake taxi.'

I agree nick. The flip side of course is many of our better posters might not engage quite so much so it's rough with smooth as most things in life.

TF if this place was a pub with drink fuelled passionate fans as regulars, I suspect that the tolerance of a few of the “more annoying” posters would be much lower in real life.

Carry on films are funny, never heard of anyone that doesn't enjoy them.. kyber, abroad and screaming classics[Link]

Tilley's having a medical at Wycombe today, apparently.

OI - very true.

Womble Underground Press: A Hub of Passionate and Unfiltered Fan Debate for AFC Wimbledon The Womble Underground Press (WUP) operates not as a traditional literary press, but as a spirited and long-standing fanzine and online forum for supporters of the AFC Wimbledon football club. Its general tone is characterized by a passionate, unfiltered, and deeply ingrained sense of community, functioning as a digital "cyber-pub" for fans to congregate, celebrate, commiserate, and, most notably, debate the fortunes of their club. Established in the wake of Wimbledon FC's controversial relocation to Milton Keynes and the subsequent formation of the fan-owned AFC Wimbledon, WUP has evolved from a simple online guestbook into a significant voice within the club's supporter base. The tone is overwhelmingly informal and fan-driven, with discussions ranging from match-day analysis and player performance to broader issues concerning club ownership and direction. A key aspect of WUP's tone is its raw and often critical nature. Free from the constraints of official club communication, contributors and forum members express their opinions with a candor that can be both celebratory and sharply critical. This has led to lively, and at times heated, debates that reflect the deep emotional investment of the fanbase. The "About WUP" section on its website explicitly states its purpose is not only to provide a platform for fan expression but also to raise funds for the club, further cementing its role as a grassroots, supporter-led entity. This dual function fosters a tone that is simultaneously protective of the club's unique fan-owned identity and demanding of on-pitch success. In essence, the Womble Underground Press is a microcosm of the dedicated AFC Wimbledon fanbase, with a tone that is by turns humorous, nostalgic, argumentative, and fiercely loyal. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of fan culture and the importance of independent platforms for supporter expression.

Or JG...

Laurence - hard to guess which of them would be more offended by that idea.

WJ - maybe KD is really Ian Hislop? ;o)

highbrow / lowbrow

Yeah but Spit you think Carry On films are funny ;)

I believe Ian Hislop is a Kent like one of our more unpleasant posters

Quite unfunny like Hislop. . Also seen him in wandsworth common a good few years back and Jack Dee..

It's shows a womble sitting in an armchair, with a framed notice above him saying "Wimbledon Care Home" and two visitors, one saying to the other "he doesn't remember he's a womble"

I think Ian Hislop used to live near Wandsworth Common. I saw him there with his children once. Must be 30 or so years ago.

RK, was the cartoon by Clive Goddard by any chance? Strawberry had a long chat with him last Saturday.

It's on page 14 Sandy

Savaloy, maybe he's worked out we don't have the cash to sue him, if says some hurty words

Didn't/doesn't Ian Hislop live in or around Wandsworth Common? Maybe he's a secret Womble.

Maybe I'll have to go to a newsagent and surreptitiously take a look...

Rats!

No. Maybe AI can't figure out how to get behind a paywall either.

But did you find the cartoon?
