An injury crisis has struck and is causing us quite some concern. Nick and Stu discuss another chapter in the life of AFC Wimbledon, where a normal season does not exist, with particular attention to a frustrating week at Plough Lane: the FA Cup exit at the hands of Dagenham AND Redbridge, and the last-kick-of-the-game draw with Newport County. Alongside that, we talk DT elections, play MFWAJJOTM, and look ahead to Saturday's trip to Harrogate - Storm Darragh permitting.

Nick and Stu discuss the team's recent form, which has seen home and away results flip. Whilst the home defeat to Warsaw was frustrating in some respects, the win at Tranmere in the week has seen us back into the play-off places, and has made us consider our strengths and weaknesses for our promotion push. We then look ahead to the visit of Dagenham & Redbridge, and why Nick laments the demise of the FA Cup and his reaction to the game kicking-off at the random time of 7.15pm. My Father was a John-Joe O'Toolemaker rounds off a fun episode.

Our former left-back joins the podcast to discuss his time at Wimbledon, smashing the Franchise, making his debut, and his on/off move to Bristol City. Either side of that, Nick and Stu talk Barrow, Accrington, and Warsaw.

It's a very late record for this week's podcast, and there is SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT. Why always Wimbledon? Nick is exhausted, Stu is battling a cold, but we still endeavour to bring you conversation on many topics, such as SMASHING THE FRANCHISE - AGAIN; Craig Cope's new job title; the Dons Trust Election and struggles to organise a hustings event; HOT OFF THE PRESS AFCW PLC STATEMENT; playing Dagenham on a Saturday night; and hosting Grimsby on Saturday. We also squeeze in MFWAJJOTM which is great fun. This is peak podcast with covering a breadth of topics with, we hope, honesty, clarity, and lots of swearing. And you can't teach that.

Ahead of our trip to Franchiseville on Sunday, Chris Draper joins Nick and Stu to discuss the last season of Wimbledon FC, and some of his experiences working for the club whilst the spectre of the steal loomed over our heads. It was a horrible year, but what was it like to straggle that line of fan and employee? Alongside memories of a short but impactful couple of seasons, we discuss more current affairs, chiefly the defeat to Port Vale and the Dons Trust SGM of Monday night. Chris also has a crack at MFWAJJOTM alongside some other stuff and nonsense as we bring another long but fun show to a close.

It's the 9yrspodcast vs Same Old Wombles crossover the world has been waiting for! Nick and Stu are joined by Adam, Matt, and Niall in the AFC Wimbledon podcast multiverse, and who knows what the repercussions of such a meeting might be. The boys talk Dons Trust Restricted Actions, ownership issues, the future of football finances, and what we want from the football club. There's also some football, and all the usual podcast features, including My Father was a John-Joe O'Toole-maker, and In This Week. A really fun and thought-provoking chat, and all in 90 minutes of 223 per cent unofficial podcasting!

We'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.

It 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! Boobs.

Nick 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.

You 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 ...
