No game to discuss – well, we’re not going to discuss any B-Team Cup matches, beyond what is absolutely necessary – but some squad movement, and a worrying slip into the bottom four, to keep us occupied. Also: Tetris. Random.
EP239: JABBERWOCKY
EP238: THE HUMANS
Nick and Stu are putting the world to rights as lockdown descends once more. Should football be continuing? And whilst it is, how much danger of relegation are we in?! Also: Nick is an old man yelling at clouds. With justification, mind.
EP237: HOW TO STOP TIME
Recorded prior to the Lincoln game, Nick and Stu discuss how COVID is affecting football, and what the best course of action is for the remainder of the season. We also talk formations, and the first calls for a managerial change.
EP236: LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA
It’s the last podcast of 2020. Sunderland and COVID; London Broncos and Plough Lane; Charlton scoring five and us struggling for wins … we’re ending on a high, right? But then what else would you expect from this year?! At least it’s Christmas. Kind of.
EP235: MAKING MONEY
Fans are back in the stadiums, but will it cost some clubs more money than it’s worth? At the same time, a Premier League “bailout” scheme for EFL clubs has been announced, but has this been distributed fairly? And why oh why have the TV companies shunned some lower league teams to give Man United, Liverpool, and Arsenal more TV time in the FA Cup third round? Also: tea and wrestling.
EP234: THE BUTTERFLY LION
Just a whole lotta football to catch up on this week, as Nick and Stu discuss our entire 2020-21 FA Cup run, and an excellent win over Peterborough from Wednesday evening. We also take a detour around the new stadium, pandemic changes to football, the FA Cup third round, and Alexa Bliss – as always. Plus all the usual guff, although our game has a twist this week.
EP233: GRAHAM STACEY
Nick speaks to Dons Trust Board member Graham Stacey about a challenging year at the club, but how things are looking up on and off the pitch. Amongst topics discussed: the Plough Lane Bond; club comms; plans for the future; Glyn Hodges; how far we can progress as a fan-owned club; picks of the current squad; and memories of supporting Wimbledon FC. Also: Rob Ursell.
EP232: IN A HOUSE OF LIES
Still no first-team football to talk about, but the youth have silverware to celebrate, thanks a most incredible goal that gets Nick and Stu debating what qualifies as an own goal (with apologies to Matt Cox). We also discuss the new sub rule, and how the squad will cope with a most-intense fixture list ahead, which could stretch to five games in ten days …
EP231: WATCHALONG!
In the absence of football, we watch some highlights of two classic games: Rochdale away in 2019, and Man United in the cup in 1997. Use the links below to watch along with us!

EP224: KLAUDIA WIECZOREK
The club’s Marketing Controller, Klaudia Wieczorek, talks to us about her role at AFC Wimbledon, and the insanity of the past few months. She’s also got some controversial views on tea. Not quite as bad as James Shea, mind. Alongside that, we discuss the somewhat incredible 4-4 draw with Plymouth, and look ahead to the trip to Fleetwood. We also chat Michael Hughes, Darragh MacAnthony, Match of the Day, and Ryan Sweeney.
