9yrspodcast

Well that was another interesting week in the world of AFC Wimbledon. However, Nick and Stu have no time for dwelling on certain matters, so we discuss another point away at Newport, some memories of away days of Wimbledon past, the visit of Stockport on Saturday, and Nick's ability to drop in wrestling references of varying relevance.

Nick and Stu revisit a winless week that feels a lot more positive than that description affords it. We come a little late (oo-er) to squeeze any the last moments of the transfer window, so we talk our new signings and departures before focusing on games with Chelsea and Forest Green. There's a bit of ranting about the daft nature of the transfer window, and the money on show in the Prem - most of it on Chelsea's subs bench, apparently. Aaron Sasupermatch Game and a quick Newport preview also included.

Afternoons in Sutton don't get any better - we've all been to Sutton we know they really, really don't - than last Saturday's 3-0 win in the sunshine. Nick and Stu review some key points from the win, before looking ahead to the trip to Chelsea and what songs may or may not be sung. We also preview the Forest Green game and whether Greggs needs to order in extra vegan sausage roll. Fun fact: a vegan sausage is not a sausage.

Nick and Stu talk through the finer points of our start to the season: the 0-0 draw with Grimsby on opening day, and the exciting finale as we beat Coventry 2-1 that has cast a really positive feel across the club. We also look at the visit of Wrexham, with a tricky game of Aaron Sasupermatch Game throw in to the mix as well.

Here we go - incredibly, the ninth season preview show we have ever done. And yes, it does exactly what it says on the tin. What do we make of our new-look side, and how will we fare? How is the rest of the division shaping up? What do we consider a successful season? All that plus our BRAND NEW GAME, and Stu makes easily the boldest prediction in the history of podcasts. Yep, not just the 9yrspodcast - the boldest prediction of any podcast in history. Exciting. And confusing.

Head of Football Operations Craig Cope joins Nick and Stu for the first podcast of the 2023-24 season. Craig reflects on the second-half of last season, changes over the summer, training, recruitment, and motorway service stations.

Nick and Stu give their thoughts on this week's statement from the PLC board, touching many varied aspects of the club as they do. There's also a review of the Swindon car crash, and debate over what the start of the season looks like.

How do you explain a team's continuing ability to drop points late in games? The honest answer is you probably don't. You can lament it, however. And perhaps laugh about it too - because if you don't, you'll cry. Anyway, Nick and Stu talk Salford and Harrogate this week, as well as JJ tweets, and our feelings on his position. We also have an interesting Jackson Five for the CCL hardcore.

Nick and Stu discuss first-team affairs, including the defeat to Rochdale, the plans of Craig Cope, the appointment of Andy Thorn, and whether the season is over or not. We also speak to Esther and Kerry from the Women of Wimbledon Supporters Association (WOWSA). There's then an Easter-themed edition of Jackson Five ...

Nick and Stu discuss the latest.

Nick is joined by Kris Stewart, Chairman of the Dons Trust Board. They discuss the team's current predicament, Chris Gunter, Ayoub Assal, finances, and the recent furore over Trust election voting software.

As we continue to lose leads, Nick and Stu ask whether injuries and a lack of sub options are the reasons behind our loss of form in 2023. We also look at the online debate about the manager's position and ask whether calls for him to go are fair. Modern football, hamburgers, and Crawley Town dismissals make up the rest of our Stone Cold Steve Austin Day edition. A fun listen so check it out!

Nick and Stu record the podcast LIVE on Twitter Spaces, inviting contributions from the live audience. We're talking the defeat to Mansfield, Hall of Fame options, Craig Cope's role, and the upcoming trips to Doncaster and Newport - two trips with equally-weighted, but differently shaped, health warnings.

Nick and Stu look at where our season sits following one win in ten, and a deluge of injuries. We speak of defending set-pieces, substitutions, and entertainment value, before looking at the visit of Personsfield on Saturday, and playing a Jackson Five that takes us back to a different world (1995, to be precise).

Lots of topics to squeeze in this week - and not just our hero and leader, Jay Bothroyd. We have the draw with Hartlepool to discuss, Meet the Manager, Nick's stadium tour, John Motson, and Ivor Heller. We also have a tough Jackson Five to test the grey matter ...

Nick and Stu return to discuss a varied range of topics this week, in lieu of any goals. We do look at a couple of tactical points from the goalless draws with Carlisle and Northampton, but we also venture to such topics as power surges, PA decibels, referee abuse, Nathan Jones, Woolworths, HMV, and the statistically-interesting 1997-98 season. There's even a mention of Chris's favourite ever Wimbledon player. Can you guess who it is yet? Also, a quick preview of Saturday's game with Hartlepool.

AFC Wimbledon’s Managing Director, Danny Macklin joins the SNL team to discuss his 100 days at the club and takes live questions from the viewers. 

A few topics to discuss this week, but chiefly, the defeat at Leyton Orient. An unlucky defeat, but some talking points, including the options we now have within the squad. However, off the pitch, there were a couple of concerns, including tickets, and FA fines. They pale in comparison, mind, to the revelations in this week's edition of On This Side Of It, and a startling reveal in Jackson Five ...

Nick and Stu discuss the comings and goings during the last throes of the transfer window, and the battling win over Stockport. They also look at the trip to Leyton Orient, and ask some pertinent questions about matchday routines ...

No games to talk about, but Nick and Stu spend their time shooting the breeze over new signings, departures, tactics, postponements, Forest Green Rovers, Brentford, the women's game, and the visit of Stockport this weekend. We also have another round of Jackson Five. A fun show as always, with real food for thought in the closing moments. Real food too - not whatever muck they eat at the aforementioned Forest Green ...
