AKCJ Posted 31 May 2016 Posted 31 May 2016 Akinfenwa steals the ball aggressively off the regular pen taker so he can bask in his own glory at Wembley and then spends the whole interview afterwards begging a chairman to come and sign him. I think that's one of the reasons you might be being released in the first place lad. Pretty clear that he's a hugely popular figure with the other Dons players. His attitude is the last reason that he's not getting a contract. He's not fit enough to run 10 yards.
Guest MattP Posted 31 May 2016 Posted 31 May 2016 I'm sure that the main reason is down to ability but it won't go you any good trying to win a new deal showing that sort of selfish attitude on the pitch.

FrankH Posted 31 May 2016 Posted 31 May 2016 I am an AFC Wimbledon fan. Indeed I am also, in a very small way, an owner of the club. I was very happy to see Leicester City winning the Premiership, and witnessing from afar the massive three days you had at the end of the season, culminating in the Victory Parade, I too was caught up in the emotions. Even though I am not a Foxes fan, I am very much a well-wisher, and I don't think I had ever seen events connected with sport before, which gave me such a feeling of sheer joy. And then I was at Wembley yesterday, and you will understand that for me personally that even eclipsed the Leicester City saga. I never expected us to get as far as we have, only 14 years after the destruction of the club I formerly supported. It was a fairytale enough just to have got to Wembley. So I don't think I would have been that disappointed if we had lost - but of course I won't know now if that would have been so It was my first time at Wembley. I found it awe-inspiring and atmospheric, with all the fans there. Even though 57,956 is well short of full capacity, the noise levels were immense, even when the chanting wasn't going on - the Channel 5 broadcast of the highlights in the evening just didn't give a true impression of the volume. Maybe there's something about the acoustics of a bowl stadium which makes a difference. Of course, you Foxes fans are going to have the pleasure of at least one Wembley visit next season. You are in for a great experience, but it's as well to warn you that there could be flaws. I arrived well over half an hour before kick-off, and they had already run out of programmes, so I have no souvenirs of the day apart from my ticket, and of course the memories. I couldn't help feeling sorry for the Plymouth players and fans. There was a group of Plymouth fans standing by the side of Olympic Way as we left the stadium. They were applauding the Wimbledon fans, and we applauded them in return. As far as I know, there wasn't any major unpleasantness from fans of either side - I certainly didn't see any. I hope Plymouth continue their revival, and get promotion soon. By the way, I think MattP is wrong about Akifenwa. He is not only extremely popular with the Dons fans, but seems to be with his teammates. It is now known that he had already been told that this would be his last game for AFC. He was keen to end it on a high note. And taking a penalty is not necessarily a sign of selfishness. When there is a penalty shoot-out it is well-known that many (a majority?) of players would much rather not have to take one. Contrary to the silly name of a book, Goalkeepers do not fear penalties - it's a chance for glory. It's the penalty takers who fear it, and to willingly take one is a sign usually not of selfishness, but the reverse.
Corky Posted 1 June 2016 Posted 1 June 2016 Enjoy it Frank, you lost something we all take for granted- the chance to see our own team in it's local area. You've worked so hard just to get back, League One is a good level to be at (we enjoyed our season there) and make sure you beat our neighbours a couple of times
