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. We also recall and important week in Dons Trust history. A fun show ahead of a tough game with Wigan on Saturday.
Nick and Stu speak to Chief Executive Joe Palmer on all subjects Wimbledon, especially stadium issues, budget, and the forthcoming visit of Sheffield Wednesday to Plough Lane.
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.
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.
A somewhat round-the-houses edition of the podcast this week, but we do discuss in detail the win over Oxford – our first at Plough Lane in front of our fans. We also look around League One, discuss the EFL Trophy issue, and think back to 20 years ago this week, and a rather sombre anniversary.
Arriving late, but sounding great. This week, we reviewed the 2-2 draw with Ipswich, and whether Joe Pigott should be chastised for semi-celebrating his goal against us, or if our fans should have been more polite towards him. We also preview the Oxford game, discuss the situation with season tickets, Dons Trust Board elections, Chaucer, Alanis Morisette, Watford – grrrr – and Nick goes on a couple of rants – chiefly about things being better in the old days.
This week’s podcast was recorded before the draw for the third round of the League Cup … but you can thank us for our prognostication 😉 On the show, we discussed Robbo’s philosophy on succeeding at football and in life, as we look at his reaction to two underwhelming performances. He wasn’t happy, even though we did manage to get the (rather important) win at Northampton. We also spoke on all the usual topics, and Countdown.
A slightly longer edition this week, as we discuss our return home. We review the draws with Bolton and Gillingham, and give our first impressions of Plough Lane with fans; from there, we have all the usual features, and some classic Stuisms.
We discuss the wins over Doncaster and Charlton; preview this weekend’s return to Plough Lane and the game against Bolton; talk ticketing systems; and look back at what happened this week in 2001.
