9yrspodcast

With safety secured, Nick and Stu relax a little into an unscripted edition of the show, in which where the podcast goes, nobody knows ... Amongst our ramblings, there's talk of the win at Wigan, how subs changed the games, whether certain players are likely to remain with us next year, and how the goalkeeper situation shapes up next term. There's also a look ahead to the final weekend in the thir...

Nick and Stu return to deliberate on Wimbledon's prospects of survival, after a sixth consecutive defeat left them just two points above the relegation zone, but with two favourable fixtures remaining. Can our injury-hit and low-on-confidence side get over the line? With Exeter and Burton and Leyton Orient involved in their own mini-league to finish the season, things might be looking okay ... Alo...

A bumper edition of the show as Nick and Stu talk through injuries, form, 50+1, relegation, Lincoln, Luton, end of season awards, Burton, Stockport, Sam Hutchinson, Junior Nkeng, Kevin Foster, and whatever happened to MAN OF THE MATCH? Loads and loads of Wimbledon chat to brighten spirits in a tough time, with a topical ROFHOG to go alongside it all. 

Nick and Stu return to talk about the outcome of the recent Dons Trust votes that open the first door to selling more equity to investors. It is no doubt needed if Wimbledon are to progress as a Football League club, as injuries to the first team squad have once again exposed depth issues, resulting in just one point from the last 12 that have kiboshed any (admittedly very optimistic) play-off cha...

Nick and Stu return to discuss back-to-back wins against teams in trouble. How have we gone from one win in 13, to five in eight?! There's lots to pick through from both games, although sometimes football is hard to explain. We also talk 50.1 and the upcoming votes: have we found a loophole in proceedings?! There's also the usual rants and moans about kick-off times and changing kits, with ROFHOG...

Light and shade on this week's podcast, as Nick and Stu discuss the high of an excellent win over Bradford, and the lows of the reality of ticket price rises, and what they tell us about the ongoing financial struggles facing the club. Alongside that stark message, there's also the issues of Sky Sports messing with all of our lives, pointlessly, and celebrity fans making children out of people tha...

Nick and Stu pick through the changes that have turned Wimbledon from insomnia cures to entertainers. There are goals, goals, and goals ... but are we taking a risk by being more open? We also investigate injuries and missing players in the squad, before talk once again returns to finances in football, and how the latest set of club accounts from across the EFL demonstrate how far away from realit...

Nick and Stu return with an extended episode to discuss all the latest financial news coming out of the club. What did we make of the recent meeting, and how concerned should everyone be about the immediate future of AFC Wimbledon? There's also lots of RUMOUR and INNUENDO to talk through - was there more to the whispers than people believe? Thankfully we have two wins to discuss to lighten the moo...

Nick and Stu return to pick the bones out of the disheartening defeat to Doncaster. Other alliterative phrases are available. Alongside that, there is a review of the comings and goings of the past week, from Harbottle to Tilley to Nelson, and what that suggests for the shape of the side headed into what is looking a nervy second-half of the campaign. A glance around League One, talk of bringing c...

We're back! Nick and Stu return after a winter break to evaluate how the squad is shaping up ahead of a tough second-half of the season, following a dodgy spell of just one win in 11 games. We review the games with Stevenage, Exeter, Leyton Orient, and Wycombe; mourn the departure of Danilo Orsi; weigh-up the pros and cons of starting Junior Nkeng; and wonder whether our forward options are strong...

Nick and Stu are here for the second time this week! This time they review the dour 1-0 defeat at Exeter, and the squad's illness and injury problems, but there are also some fun conversations to be had surrounding kick-off times, substitutes, and the third tier. What would their team look like if only three subs were allowed, and everyone was fit? There's also a more serious reflection on the fan...

Nick and Stu return to discuss the draw at Huddersfield, preview the trip to Exeter, play ROFHOG, and shoot the breeze on a variety of footballing topics, including sub rules ...

It's time to be positive! Sadly, we fail this week as Nick and Stu review another defeat, look ahead to what looks like another defeat, and talk about the perilous financial position of the club which, in the words of the Dons Trust, is currently unsustainable. Still, good news about the chocolate oranges. And at least we have a fun game of ROFHOG to play, and some chatter around merchandise, adve...

Well we have to talk about it, however painful. The 5-0 defeat at bottom of the table Peterborough was a deflating experience on top of a recent run of poor form, but were there positives to take from it? Well, in truth, no. But we try. Nick and Stu also play a new game: Dons Trust rule-making Tombola, in which new regulations are seemingly plucked at random from a National Lottery machine. There'...

Picking the bones out of the FA Cup exit to Gateshead. There's not a great deal much more to say, but in typical style, Nick and Stu try to cushion the blow of a poor defeat by touching on many varied subjects around the football world, and play a fun new game of ROFHOG. There's also the weekend trip to Peterborough to preview - yay!

Well Burton might have tricked us, but now it’s time for Nick and Stu to treat all Wimbledon fans with a Halloween edition of the podcast. And by Halloween edition, we mean the normal podcast which just happens to be released on October 31st. We beat Middlesbrough on this day in 2000 … Halloween wasn’t really a thing back then. ANYWAY, the defeat to Burton, Omar Bugiel, Aron Sasu, a look around th...

When you're six unbeaten, top of the form table, and over halfway to safety before November, you only have good things to talk about. This positivity - dare we say, happy clappyness - means Nick and Stu go off on a few tangents, free from the stress of any doom or gloom. So this week, talk of Plymouth is joined by some Premier League memories, musing over VAR and transistor radios, The Traitors, R...

Running late, but sounding great: Nick and Stu return with a podcast that goes in many different directions. From the draw with Port Vale, to the lack of EFL TV and newspaper coverage, to memories of the Premier League, dodgy pitches, and away day nightmares, it's fair to say we lose track of where we were going at times. But doesn't that make it more fun? There's a game at Plymouth to preview, a...

Four in a row! What is going on?! At this rate we'll be champions by Christmas. Maybe. Whatever happens this season, we have shown that we are at home in the third tier, despite some mounting selection concerns that Nick and Stu investigate. They review the 2-0 win at Blackpool, and the role a linesman played in the win, before discussing a busy week of news, including Ogs's new contract, Osman Fo...

Nick and Stu return to talk through a third win in a row! What went well against Wycombe, and what do we need to learn from what didn't go so well? We look at squad options and whether we are able to change things as and when we need to. We also have a chat around the latest Dons Trust statement, and what it is actually telling us. Alongside that, we have all the usual: a look around the third tie...

Ian Robinson speak to Nick and Stu about his resignation from the Dons Trust Board. Ian explains his reasons behind stepping down, and some of his frustrations during his time in post. Either side of that, we talk all the usual: Nick has an expected rant about 12.30 kick-offs; we review the win at Doncaster; cast an eye over events in the third tier; preview the game with Wycombe; and play a class...

A lot of Trust issues to discuss this week, as election season for the DTB gets underway amidst resignations and recriminations. Nick and Stu try and clear up the mess and confusion, looking at what has happened, what needs to happen, and whether the fan ownership model is the best way forward. There's also a win over Rotherham to review, a trip to Doncaster to preview, and a fun game of ROFHOG to...

Nick and Stu return to pick the bones out of the 3-0 defeat at Bolton, and the two red cards that made life a little harder for us on the day and for the next couple of weeks. It's not all bad news though! I mean it's not great news either, but there's a Season Ticket survey to review, and a Fair Game Index report that sheds some light on the difficulties clubs are facing financially in this world...

Nick and Stu find themselves in the unusual position of talking about the team conceding goals this week. What has changed over the past fortnight that has seen us become far more open, with chances galore at either end? We take an in-depth look at the defeat at Bradford, before a slightly less in-depth gander at the B-Team Trophy humbling, and what it told us about squad depth this season. Alongs...

A cracking win over Barnsley followed up by a cup exit Reading: Nick and Stu discuss whether we were right to make as many changes for the latter as we did, and what the ramifications of the defeat will be - on and off the pitch. But none of this should overshadow the victory in the league, and the number of positives that came from it and the start of the season as a whole. We touch on other item...
