Page 6 of the Guardian sport section today featuring the fixtures for today. There is a picture of Timmy Mallett with a Cardboard FA cup celebrating the pox's victory against Swansea.
Page 7 is a whole page about the pox.
Cant be arsed to read such bullshit hagiographies.

They got fucking hammered today though, so hopefully the media masturbation over them will stop. They even sold half and half scarfs today in the club shop, for a game against blackburn  |

If it helps, the comments section on the online version of that article was entirely about how many stands they have...

Mind you, our dear leader a few years back wanted a fucking statue for beating Wigan.
Mind you he was mental.

The BBC's arse kissing of Franchise :
'They're doing things the right way'....what by stealing a football club?

The BBC's love in of The Franchise today, especially before the game.
Lawro: "The good thing is they're doing things in the right way aren't they?!". Errr...no!!!!
Another Lawro classic was "The crowd have stayed with them haven't they?" Well yeah, most of them are probably Chelsea fans anyway. They certainly don't give a much of a fuck anyway.

Great minds.... I doubt Lawrenson would be saying the same thing if his beloved Liverpool was 'moved' to MK... |

As proved by asking for selfies with Oscar when the game was still going on... |

The only point I did agree with was that their stadium is stunning. Unfortunately for Franchise, it's also a white elephant. They'll fill it for glamour games like this one where neutrals will flock there to see Premiership talent at a reasonable price. But for their usual league games at 3pm on a Saturday, their average crowds are stuck on 12½k. Promotion has added another 3k or so to the gate, a third of whom will be away supporters anyway.
To be fair to BBC Radio 5, they also revisited the club theft in 2004 (OK, they called it 'relocation'), acknowledged that MK relinquished the history of Wimbledon FC (formally, in 2006 I think).
And they even mooted the possibility that Franchise would, at some point in the future, delete any reference to the 'Dons' from their name. That would be the right thing in my view. From that point onwards, I could almost start to accept them...as a new club, with no link whatever to Wimbledon FC, no association with the FA Cup success of 1988 - and the only new club to be gifted a place near the top of the football pyramid for nearly 100 years.

Franchise vs Chelsea. Probably the two worst and fake football clubs in the UK.
