As tension rises off the pitch, Nick and Stu discuss their feelings on some heavy topics - most notably fan ownership, playing budgets, and, obviously, modern technology. We also chat about progress in the FA Cup, and managerial departures.

Nick and Stu talk Cambridge, FA Cup memories, stadium debt and financing, and a couple of things that have irked Nick this week. 

Lots to talk about in what was shaping up to be a fairly quiet week. We discuss Paul Kalambayi and loanees before reviewing the Wigan defeat and previewing the trip to Cambridge. We then look at a new rule for substitutes, the Dons Trust survey results, team selection rules around the Football League Trophy, and the problems with Guiseley tickets. We spend a bit of time on the last one.

We review the win at Lincoln, the draw with Sheffield Wednesday, the FA Cup draw, Newcastle, our hatred of Chelsea, and Nick forgets which division Crewe were in last season. A fun show ahead of a tough game with Wigan on Saturday.

Stu, Anne-Marie & George are  joined by AFC Wimbledon First Team Players, Nik Tzanev & Cheye Alexander. Nik discusses his international trip to Bahrain with New Zealand, whilst Cheye discusses full on training in the English winter.  We talk about Sheffield Wednesday result, the FA Cup 1st Round draw and the midweek trip to Lincoln City. 

Nick is joined by his much older brother Chris this week to discuss the team's recent form, and in particular, the 1-1 draw with Burton in the wet. Football is better in the rain. We also cast a glance over League One, and look back to two 4-0 results from this week(ish) in 2001.

We were joined by 1st Team players Jack Currie, David Fisher & Elliott Bolton, who are all currently out on loan with non-league clubs.  Host George Jones was joined by Rob Boyce and they had a great discussion with the players on their current loans, training during the week and their individual development plans. Stu joins George & Rob for the last half hour to discuss Saturday’s draw with Burton, how Plough Lane dealt with the rain and also how some programmes get a 12 rating!

Dissecting the win at Morecambe with a nod to the current squad's never-say-die attitude. Nick and Stu also take a look around a couple of big stories in League One and, yes, the Arsenal game as well.
