Wombledon always had a reputation for making an arse of themselves as this official team photo from 2001 reproduced below confirms. If you can name the arse holes in the correct order then a four pack of Cherry B will be on its way to the first correct answer. Answers to Vinjay, our head judge, care of Northcote Manor

Our games against the Wombles have always been difficult with us suffering a home defeat earlier this season thanks to our Smurf like defence and a lack of leadership from Wombleslayer Tony ‘Mike Batt’ Mowbray.

I recall a 0-0 game at Ewood when Rovers players complained bitterly that the Womble dressing room was blasting out via a ghetto-blaster ‘Remember you’re a Womble’ and ‘The Sound of Music’ which put our team off. This sounds like one of those excuses Steve Ke*n would come out with.

Rovers need to take this game by the balls and grind out a result. If not we will be knackered. This is the sort of player we need in midfield.....could you see Peter Whittingham filling this role?

All together now:
“Under ground, over ground
Wombling free

The Wombles of Wimbledon
Common are we

Making good use
of the things that we find

The things that the everyday
folks leave behind”

3 points to the Northern hard nuts.

I don’t see any reason to call a match off if you have enough players to pick a team and subs.

safe journey to everyone travelling to London today.
Cheers - the temperature worries me - I was a Fulham a few years ago when they left an 18" strip uncovered and it got called off!
In truth I am not confident of seeing a game
