Another 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.
Another 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’.
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.
