We are quite famous after all. We've even won the FA Cup!

Which one?

I'm not certain on this by any means but wouldn't the Fa Cup win come under the MK dons honours list under a sort of technicality?

MK Dons initially claimed the history of Wimbledon dating back to 1889 as their own history, including winning the FA Cup. However, in 2006 under pressure from the Football Supporters Federation they abandoned their claim and admitted to only existing from 2004 onwards.

In 2007 they went a step further and returned all Wimbledon trophies and memorabilia to us including the replica FA Cup we won in 1988.

Luton are a bit of a giant in terms of the lower leagues never should have got themselves into such a financial mess though the board members needed there banker bonuses back then eh?
Hope too see them in the top tier one day again not that I remembered it.

The plastic pitch helped them ,like QPR and Oldham in the '80's.

What Vinnie Jones needs to do is team up with Roy Keane and go into football management heck throw Gordon Strachan in there for good measure and we have good foundations for a new crazy (management) gang :s.

You see people got to the bookies for odds on stupid bets wonder what that would get you lol.

Providing they would not kill each other first.

Also thank you for all your votes guys, but where are all my fellow spuds? Lol or at the very least a posh follower :/

Well Strach's Scotland boss .
Keano's assistant to Martin O'Neil for Republic of Ireland .
Vinnie was "managing" a "celebrity" ex-pats team in Los Angeles ,prior to his medical condition being discovered .He did,however ,visit Leeds late last season for a corporate engagement at Elland Rd.After taking a "salute" on the pitch from the fans , he went in the Leeds dressing room and gave the players a good natured pep talk .
Agree with you though ,they've all got varying degrees of "madness"/ passion.
