I am inordinately excited!

Everton Play SPORTKLUBBEN Brann inthe Also Ran's Cup again tonight. Yet, when you compare this to the glamour of Livepool vs Milan, or Celtic vs Barcelona, it kind of fades to Channel 5's normal level of irrelevance. It is perhaps of equal import as Swansea's loss to the MK Dons the other day. OK- maybe a little more important.

I like the MK Dons. They are the only team in league who abbreviate their name to avoid the stigma of being immediately associated with there home town. Sure QPR abbreviate too but that is because the name is a real mouthful. MK stands for Milton Keynes in case you missed it. The dreary suburban hell-hole of ill-repute with a pointy shaped shoppinng centre. I once saw Steve Martin's Father of the Bride in Milton Keynes. This is the most insteresting thing I can tell you about the place. The name is a marketing thing. They reckon they'll pick up more neutrals if they call themselves MK. If they went the whole hog and called themselves Milton Keynes Dons everyone would laugh a them on behalf of the town's dire reputation. The name also serves to induce a kind of amnesia in the Wimbeldon fans who carried on supporting the club after it was famously bought out, and moved, and had its name changed, to widespread derision.

This post feels badly written and insubstantial. Unfinished. Sorry. I have to go now though. Work to do. Coming later a brief history of Milton Keynes and Wimbeldon FC. Bate your breath NOW...
