On This Day in 1963The delighted Dons show off the FA Amateur Cup during a lap of honour at Wembley after Sutton United had been beaten 4-2. With the two sides locked at two-all and less than five minutes remaining, centre forward Eddie Reynolds booked his place in history by converting twice in the closing moments and the giant Irishman remains to this day the only man to have headed four goals beneath the twin towers.

RK - perhaps we'll raid the PFA training camp again? 
REPD, yes my hunch is just that plus fingers-crossed that we won't run into an injury crisis like this season 
We got 25 points more than I was expecting this season., so I see as agood season.even if only February was the only month of sexy excitement entertaining football. 
Morning all. Perhaps the squad will have a small (or rather not as big as it should be) nucleus of L1 level players, a few from last season like Stevens and the rest a mix of "promising" youngsters? 
I think we'll get the retained/released list by the end of the week. Will be an early insight into what the budget will look like 
Nonsense headline of the day won by the i paper. "State pension triple lock under threat if UK goes to war with Putin". Yeah like all us old fogies will be worried about a few £££s whilst sheltering from nukes 
I’m only worked up for selfish reasons- we have a better chance of survival if someone starts in negative territory ! Also, we’re trying so hard to do things the “right” way, but poor owners and overspending overlooked here.. 
I’m pleased for the Wednesday fans they’ve shown some real character through this season. Just makes it harder for us. Elsewhere there is a link suggesting Chansiri tried to stop the deal going through. I can't get that worked up either way about the points deduction, there are enough other sticks to beat the EFL with. I’m not sure of the details of the decision Timmy - assumed that the new owners had met the criteria in terms of how many pence in the pound they paid the creditors and previous owner. You’d expect Huddersfield and Reading to perform better next season. Then Leicester and Wednesday in the division as well. Interesting to see whether it’s a step too far for Bromley and then obviously whoever comes up via the playoffs. Surprised how badly Peterborough did this season as well (other than being our worst result of the season). 
Outrageous that they avoided the 15 points deduction. EFL used their “discretion” ridiculous Those stats not a surprise given our budget. Hard to see how next season will be any different especially now Sheffield Wednesday appear to have avoided any further points deductions and the franchise have financial backing that Winkleman was never prepared to put in. 
If anyone is interested in the plight of a pub which is very much connected to our football club, this is the first part of a two part film [Link] Interesting statistics HD - basically makes the point that we are always going to be a relatively small fish in League 1 - it does sort of show what a good performance we had in 2016-17, undervalued at the time. In retrospect it is very clear that that promotion-winning team was the best that we have had as AFCW (no doubt at a budget that we couldn't actually afford!) 
On X stayting the stench of bad farts on the terrace is getting worse? Could be early starts as not having a proper number 2 before leaving home and hanging it in or bad chemicals in the beer these days anyone else notice this? 
Interesting to compare the stats. Whoever is in charge, we struggle to compete in League One.
16-17 15th 57 pts (Neal Ardley)

Bert - I don't have a Facebook account, sorry, but do have a b&w of the OTD pic. Wonder how many of those guys are still around? Not many, I'd guess. A great day in Dons history. Pete: [Link] May 4th be with you lot. 
Really? I had a £5 pint at the ground yesterday. I could have had a £3 pint if I'd gone to Wetherspoons. At those prices, I'd suggest sipping rather than gulping. Gulp,don't tell those that run plough lane[Link] I'm always amazed when the authorities can pick out the guilty croc or shark [Link] even before they get round to cutting the suspect's stomach open. I guess and identity parade is not practical especially as the only reliable witness was eaten Trigg - brown envelopes all round for the ex Gunners boss and co… 😬
