EP346: Cattle in the Marketplace
18/10/2024 Duração: 01h06sWe're off to Franchiseland once again in a cup tie because clearly the Football Gods like mocking us. Nick and Stu ruminate on the details of our latest set-to with that lot, but also somehow manage to ruminate on a number of topics as the podcast comes close to going overboard once more. We review the 4-0 demolition of an awful Carlisle, consider whether reserve team football needs to make a comeback, discuss the latest injury news across the squad, and revisit the (actually) official podcast's interview with Neal Ardley, with all the associated memories it brought. MFWAJJOTM, a look ahead to Notts County, and a trip down memory lane of goalkeepers past round off another classic Friday night show.Timings01:30 - FA Cup Draw10:35 - Dons 4-0 Carlisle22:50 - Bring back Reserve Team football!29:00 - Reeves, Lewis, and Nightingale38:15 - Neal Ardley interview; reflections on relegation47:45 - My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker52:40 - Notts County preview55:18 - Goalkeepers!

EP345: Touch your defences
11/10/2024 Duração: 54minIt was a relatively quiet week in the world of AFC Wimbledon, but Nick and Stu still find plenty to talk about. Chiefly, we dissect the Salford defeat, and the causes behind it. We obviously tackle, fnar, the challenge that has taken Joe Lewis out of action, and the knock-on effects of his absence, but there's also travel schedules, missed chances, and goal-lines to discuss. We touch on the midweek not-really-a-game game at Crawley, play MFWAJJOTM, and look around League Two, but there's a 9YRSPODCAST EXCLUSIVE that leads us on to reminisce about football stadiums from the days of yore. A fun podcast so check it out!

EP344: Just another soul for sale
04/10/2024 Duração: 55minNick and Stu return to discuss NEWS. It looks like we're all set to be back at Plough Lane in a week's time, and without the worry about international call-ups causing a postponement. Alongside that, we review the game with Newcastle, leading Nick to have a bit of a rant; discuss ownership models; ponder new transfer rules; look around League Two and ahead to Salford; and have another crack at MFWAJJOTM.

EP343: Tearing me apart like a new emotion
28/09/2024 Duração: 56minYou might have heard that there was a bit of an accident at Plough Lane this week. Nick and Stu swim through the issues that the damage to the pitch has caused, from fixture postponements to ground share agreements to financial problems. We also talk about the press coverage and the fundraising drive, as well as what we've made of Newcastle's assistance. Alongside that, we briefly review the 0-0 draw at Bradford, play another round of MFWAJJOM, and discuss the outstanding news that Liam Trotter is to become a referee ...Timings01:20 - Pitch Battles!20:10 - Fixture issues26:35 - Game at Newcastle36:45 - Bradford review with away day thoughts42:40 - Liam Trotter becoming a referee46:30 - Comedy Night49:25 - My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker

EP342: Cause a sensation
19/09/2024 Duração: 01h33sWe smashed the Franchise. What else is there to say? Quite a lot actually, as Nick and Stu not only delve into the stunning 3-0 win at Plough Lane on Saturday, but also look into some very important issues elsewhere at the club: namely, The Dons Trust, and the looming decision on reducing voting rights. There's euphoria mixed with sobering realities, as we also review Trust board member Graeme Price's appearance on the (actually) official AFCW podcast. My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker, and a look ahead to Bradford round off a really fun show. And did we mention we smashed the Franchise? Oh also Nick doesn't know what day of the week it is, but it's okay, because we're not going to talk about Newcastle ...Timings02:10 - Wimbledon 3-0 MK24:20 - Dons Trust SGM35:45 - Graeme Price Interview48:55 - My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker52:10 - Bradford Preview57:00 - Newcastle kit and close

EP341: Lee Brown
11/09/2024 Duração: 50minThe clue's in the title ... Indeed, Lee Brown joins Nick and Stu on this week's show. We had a great chat about his life since leaving Wimbledon, beating, and celebrating beating, you-know-who, relegation, Ollie Palmer, Ali Al-Hamadi, Harry Pell, and life at the training ground. Lee also has a crack at My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker, and selects some highlights from his playing career. A really entertaining and insightful interview to get us in the mood ahead of this Saturday's circus.

EP340: The Conversation's Good
05/09/2024 Duração: 51minWell this ended up being quite the podcast. What felt like a fairly low-key review of a low-key win over Fleetwood, with some discussion about a couple of stadium issues, turns on its head when Nick discovers how much we charge for matchday admission to League Two football. We actually delve into a few ticket issues this week, from the good of box office staff, to the bad of prices, to the ugly of fake and digital tickets. We also have a hilarious edition of My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker, and somehow end up back on Stu's favourite subject: Geography.TIMINGS01:20 - Fleetwood Town review21:25 - Ticketing and stadium issues29:25 - Newcastle ticket, and general, pricing38:25 - My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker43:50 - Geography with Stu48:00 - Women's team and close

EP339: We start to dance
30/08/2024 Duração: 50minOnly one real topic of conversation this week: our fantastic victory over Premier League Ipswich Town. Nick and Stu discuss the key points of the game, including evaluating the performances of messrs Goodman, Reeves, Ogundere, Stevens, and Biler. Oh, and there's also some consternation about the reaction Ali Al-Hamadi received. A quick look back at Cheltenham, a look ahead to visits of Fleetwood and, further afield, Newcastle, some Plough Lane logistics, and My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker round off the show, with a special guest appearance from, of all people, Daley Thompson.TIMINGS01:10 - Ipswich Town review16:52 - Ali Al-Hamadi27:50 - *Infuriatingly long-winded* League Cup Draw31:55 - Cheltenham review34:05 - Plough Lane logistical issues40:15 - My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker47:10 - Fleetwood preview and predictions

EP338: Always room for change
22/08/2024 Duração: 01h04minThere's a lot of noise around these Dons Trust resolutions and the call for an SGM, and it's all quite confusing. So Nick and Stu invited two of the people involved in raising the members' resolutions, Jane Lonsdale and Charles Williams, on to the podcast to offer some clarity around the issue. What are the resolutions, what do they mean, why do we need an SGM, and why now? An interesting and helpful chat. Alongside that, it's classic podcast: we review the defeat at Bromley, including the TV coverage, look ahead to the weekend, touch on the fixture that didn't exist, and play our brand new game. Also, an old feature makes its return ...TIMINGS01:35 - Bromley 2-0 Dons, including Sky coverage12:00 - Interview with Jane Lonsdale and Charles Williams re.

EP337: 'Cause you know I'm on fire
15/08/2024 Duração: 57minA good start to the season with two come-from-behind wins, with all four strikers getting off the mark. What observations did Nick and Stu make to the games with Colchester and Bromley, and what will we take forward into the rest of the month? There are also more off-the-pitch matters to think about as well though, and the push for a Dons Trust EGM, under the slogan of 'Broken Trust', has caused some disquiet around Plough Lane. The second edition of My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker includes a cryptic clue that is unlikely to be topped, and we finish up with a glance around League Two, and a look toward our return to Hayes Lane on Saturday.Timings00:55 - Bromley 1-2 Dons14:20 - Dons 4-2 Colchester Utd, with added matchday notes31:25 - Dons Trust resolutions and EGM47:00 - My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker50:22 - League Two round-up54:15 - Bromley preview and predictions

EP336: START THE COMMOTION
06/08/2024 Duração: 01h08minWE'RE HERE. After a longer-than-usual absence, Nick and Stu return - just in time for the new season too. We're discussing all the changes on and off the pitch, from Dons Trust issues to digital advertising, the transfer window to pre-season, before looking ahead to the League Two campaign and making our picks for promotion contenders and relegation candidates. We look ahead to the opening day visit of Colchester United, the return of Lyle Taylor, and next week's cup tie at Hayes Lane ... and we also have a BRAND NEW GAME because we can't not have a game. It's good to be back.Timings02:40 - Off the pitch (Managing Director, Stadium, TV, kick-off times, Dons Trust)26:48 - On the pitch (transfer window, squad, pre-season)45:02 - League Two predictions54:22 - NEW GAME!58:10 - Colchester preview01:03:55 - Outro, including a message of hope

EP335: The world you've created
22/01/2024 Duração: 39minNick and Stu catch-up to discuss recent defeats to Ipswich and Wrexham, the postponement of the Crawley game, football finances, Reading, the trip to MK, and the signings of Ronan Curtis, John-Kymani Gordon, and, most interestingly, Joe Lewis ...
-
EP334: In love with a notion
04/01/2024 Duração: 39minIn the first episode of 2024, Nick and Stu discuss whether the loss of Ali Al-Hamadi and Omar Bugiel for a few weeks is purely full of negatives for the side, or whether there are some silver linings to the clouds. We also look at the games with Colchester and Forest Green; the rearranged date for the trip to Buckinghamshire; and the upcoming FA Cup tie with Ipswich. Kamikaze podcasting.

EP333: It happens to the best of us
29/12/2023 Duração: 35minThe podcast returns for the final time in 2023 to review the last few games, including excellent wins over Swindon and Crawley, and a disappointing damp squib of a defeat at home to Sutton. However, Nick doesn't believe the Boxing Day loss will do us any harm in the long run - but the upcoming loss of Ali and possibly Omar to international duty is a concern.

EP332: Money conquers faith and love
07/12/2023 Duração: 38minNick and Stu return to review the win over Ramsgate, the FA Cup Third Round draw, TV's picks for said round, the Premier League's new TV deal, and some of the ills afflicting the match-going fan, including ticket on-sale dates, digital advertising, and fixture rescheduling. There's also an ICONIC EDITION of the Aarson Sasupermatch Game, ahead of a bold Swindon prediction.
-
EP331: What took you so long?
03/12/2023 Duração: 39minNick and Stu return to discuss the fortunes of the first team, focusing on the great win over Notts County and frustrating defeat at Gillingham. We also lament the change of date for the Crawley game, engage in an interesting edition of the Aaron Sasupermatch Game, and preview our FA Cup clash with Ramsgate.

EP330: Hello my friend we meet again
27/10/2023 Duração: 39minWe're back! Sadly with a defeat to discuss, but that's only one of three in our first 15 games, and we sit comfortably 10th in the league on the road to improvement. Nick and Stu discuss the reverse at home to Accrington, but also focus on the positives of our solid start to the season. We also discuss stewarding, Morecambe, the picture in League Two, and an interesting Aaron Sasupermatch Game.

EP329: You drive me up the wall
22/09/2023 Duração: 39minAnother lead lost - PANIC! Or not. Why calls for the manager's head so early in the season, and with only one league defeat in eight? Nick and Stu discuss, with a keen eye on tactical detail for the draw with Crewe. We also talk minute's silences and the impending implosion of western civilisation - chiefly because of the Premier League. Strap in: it's a fascinating ride this week.

EP328: I need an alarm system so I know when people are creeping about
15/09/2023 Duração: 37minAnother week of AFC Wimbledon NEWS to discuss. Macklin gone, Stewart in, DTB needing to draft another member ... oh yeah, and we have some football to talk about as well. Because, you know, at this football club, it's sometimes nice to talk about, well, football. You know the 'F' in 'AFC Wimbledon' doesn't stand for football, right? It doesn't actually stand for anything. However, the 'F' in 'Milton Keynes FC' absolutely means something - as does the 'C'.
