Grounds for Improvement (2)

AFC Wimbledon's plans on 'Coming Home' have seen their application for a New stadium approved by Merton Council. See: http://www.afcwimbledon.co.uk/club/new-stadium/
On the site of the current Greyhound stadium, in Plough Lane, which has been in need of serious improvement for many years, this sees AFC Wimbledon, formed from the ashes of the original Club, who moved out of Plough Lane in 1991 before relocating to Milton Keynes and being renamed MK Dons, return to their spiritual homeland. 
I know plenty of people who'll be pleased by this news. More: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/first-look-at-flats-to-be-built-alongside-new-afc-wimbledon-stadium-in-plough-lane-a3136541.html

What is it with MOTD and Offsides ?

Another Saturday and Match of the Day once again found no stomach to review the offside in the Crystal Palace v Southampton game. Yannick Bolasie was definitely 'off' when passed to, prior to supplying the cross for the winning goal.

The Lucky Strike award must go to Manchester City, as Yaya Toure's injury-time shot hit Iheanacho and looped over the goalkeeper's head. Bad luck Swansea, again !

Champions League Draw

Was not kind to the two London clubs, with a sense of deja vu thrown in as Arsenal get Barcelona and Chelsea draw PSG. 1st leg in Paris on February 16th, return leg at the Bridge, March 9th.
