My goal for the day is to call someone "sun-charred flappy tits." Don't matter who, really.

But I don't know the answers. Especially to #5. Smarmy bastards!

10. Are Pete Winkelman and Charles Koppel of the Wimbledon-shafting MK Dons franchise the most odious men in football? (a) Yes No kidding. Wimblestein was an idea that needed to suffocated at birth, if only to save us from a team called "The MK Dons." I'm glad to see AFC Wimbledon continues to pull in bigger corwds and, no doubt, play better football.

5. When will the media calm down and realise that, while Steven "I'm the man" Gerrard is clearly a footballer of considerable talent, he's not even the best midfielder at his club, let alone in the Premiership/world/universe (as current press-box conformity dictates)? (a) When hell freezes over. (b) When those driving man-of-the-match performances, which don't come round quite as often as you'd think, finally veer wildly into the ego-driven, tactic-shredding arena that is David Beckham v Greece. My entry: (c) The same day the media realise that Chris Kirkland is an overhyped piece of garbage.

I'm sort of a secret glory-hunting supporter of Wimbledon AFC. They recently went on a 76 league games unbeaten run which beats Arsenal's record by some distance. The only reason I want MK Dons to stay afloat is for them to play Wimbledon AFC. And win. By Miles. I might write a column on AFC for SpoFi, a story of how the fans have won and the money men have got nothing but an empty name.
