EP382: FEELING WEAK

9yrspodcast ·

2025/11/07

Picking the bones out of the FA Cup exit to Gateshead. There's not a great deal much more to say, but in typical style, Nick and Stu try to cushion the blow of a poor defeat by touching on many varied subjects around the football world, and play a fun new game of ROFHOG. There's also the weekend trip to Peterborough to preview - yay!

EP381: LOOKIN' FOR SOME HAPPINESS

2025/10/31

Well Burton might have tricked us, but now it’s time for Nick and Stu to treat all Wimbledon fans with a Halloween edition of the podcast. And by Halloween edition, we mean the normal podcast which just happens to be released on October 31st. We beat Middlesbrough on this day in 2000 … Halloween wasn’t really a thing back then. ANYWAY, the defeat to Burton, Omar Bugiel, Aron Sasu, a look around the club including the Youth and Women’s FA Cups, a preview of the game with Gateshead, a glance

EP380: GET THE FEELING

2025/10/24

When you're six unbeaten, top of the form table, and over halfway to safety before November, you only have good things to talk about. This positivity - dare we say, happy clappyness - means Nick and Stu go off on a few tangents, free from the stress of any doom or gloom. So this week, talk of Plymouth is joined by some Premier League memories, musing over VAR and transistor radios, The Traitors, ROFHOG, attendances, and the usual look around the third tier. We also look ahead to the visit

EP379: SIMPLY WASTE THE DAY AWAY

2025/10/18

Running late, but sounding great: Nick and Stu return with a podcast that goes in many different directions. From the draw with Port Vale, to the lack of EFL TV and newspaper coverage, to memories of the Premier League, dodgy pitches, and away day nightmares, it's fair to say we lose track of where we were going at times. But doesn't that make it more fun? There's a game at Plymouth to preview, a game of ROFHOG to play, and a nose around the third tier to raise a number of talking points. A

EP378: TWO MORE YEARS

9yrspodcast ·

2025/10/10

Four in a row! What is going on?! At this rate we'll be champions by Christmas. Maybe. Whatever happens this season, we have shown that we are at home in the third tier, despite some mounting selection concerns that Nick and Stu investigate. They review the 2-0 win at Blackpool, and the role a linesman played in the win, before discussing a busy week of news, including Ogs's new contract, Osman Foyo's ban, and The Dons Trust Board Elections! There's also a fun ROFHOG and some reflection on

EP377: LOVE ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH

9yrspodcast ·

2025/10/03

Nick and Stu return to talk through a third win in a row! What went well against Wycombe, and what do we need to learn from what didn't go so well? We look at squad options and whether we are able to change things as and when we need to. We also have a chat around the latest Dons Trust statement, and what it is actually telling us. Alongside that, we have all the usual: a look around the third tier, a preview of the trip to Blackpool, and a fun round of ROFHOG.

EP376: BREAK THE SILENCE

2025/09/25

Ian Robinson speak to Nick and Stu about his resignation from the Dons Trust Board. Ian explains his reasons behind stepping down, and some of his frustrations during his time in post. Either side of that, we talk all the usual: Nick has an expected rant about 12.30 kick-offs; we review the win at Doncaster; cast an eye over events in the third tier; preview the game with Wycombe; and play a classic game of ROFHOG, bringing back a former 9yrs challenge …

EP375: YOUR HEAD'LL COLLAPSE

9yrspodcast ·

2025/09/19

A lot of Trust issues to discuss this week, as election season for the DTB gets underway amidst resignations and recriminations. Nick and Stu try and clear up the mess and confusion, looking at what has happened, what needs to happen, and whether the fan ownership model is the best way forward. There's also a win over Rotherham to review, a trip to Doncaster to preview, and a fun game of ROFHOG to test your geography knowledge. A fun show as always with plenty of food for thought!

EP374: BLUE SKIES FADE TO GREY

2025/09/12

Nick and Stu return to pick the bones out of the 3-0 defeat at Bolton, and the two red cards that made life a little harder for us on the day and for the next couple of weeks. It's not all bad news though! I mean it's not great news either, but there's a Season Ticket survey to review, and a Fair Game Index report that sheds some light on the difficulties clubs are facing financially in this world of insane salaries. ROFHOG and a look ahead to the visit of Rotherham round-off another fun

EP373: CUTS THE RECORD DOWN TO THE BONE

9yrspodcast ·

2025/09/04

Nick and Stu find themselves in the unusual position of talking about the team conceding goals this week. What has changed over the past fortnight that has seen us become far more open, with chances galore at either end? We take an in-depth look at the defeat at Bradford, before a slightly less in-depth gander at the B-Team Trophy humbling, and what it told us about squad depth this season. Alongside this, we take a trip around the third tier, and Stu unveils some very telling stats from

EP372: ROLL OF THE DICE

2025/08/28

A cracking win over Barnsley followed up by a cup exit Reading: Nick and Stu discuss whether we were right to make as many changes for the latter as we did, and what the ramifications of the defeat will be - on and off the pitch. But none of this should overshadow the victory in the league, and the number of positives that came from it and the start of the season as a whole. We touch on other items of note around Plough Lane, look around the third tier, and play a fun game of ROFHOG amongst

EP371: BY YOUR SIDE

9yrspodcast ·

2025/08/22

Two excellent performances to discuss this week: a very enjoyable day out at Reading, and a fine, if ultimately fruitless, display against Cardiff at Plough Lane. What tactical intricacies did Nick and Stu spot, and what does it suggest for forthcoming fixtures? There's a new signing to talk about too, alongside the usual look around the third tier. ROFHOG returns, but there is a BRAND NEW FEATURE to add to the show - and Nick will blow your mind with a stat that seems to have gone

2025/08/15

Chris Draper joins the show this week to discuss our first league win of the season, and progress in the League Cup. He shoots the breeze with Nick about team selection, the key moments from both games, and what it tells us about the coming month. The brothers also have a look around the third tier, preview the league clash with Reading this weekend, and play a new round of ROFHOG. They're in celebratory mood after the super exciting League Cup draw as well! A really fun show!

EP369: ALL THE ANGLES WERE WRONG

2025/08/07

An opening day defeat, but one that gave us all plenty of encouragement. Nick and Stu take a deep dive into Friday night's 1-0 loss at Luton, with a look at shape and team selection and what they might mean for forthcoming fixtures. We also glance around the first set of fixtures in the third tier, preview the visit of Lincoln on the weekend, and play possibly the trickiest version of Richard Osman Foyo's House of Games there ever could be. A really fun show!

EP368: PEOPLE COME AND GO

9yrspodcast ·

2025/07/31

We're back! The new season is upon us, and Nick and Stu return to look ahead to what we can expect from the 2025-26 campaign. We discuss changes to the squad, the runners and riders in League One, what is likely to happen at Luton, and whether negativity around the fanbase is justified. We also give our takes on the new kits, and the England Women's team. There's also - of course! - a brand new game for Stu to sink his teeth into, but for how long, we're not sure ...

We are going up say we are going up! Nick and Stu review a great day - if not a great game - at Wembley, including all the key moments, battles, and managerial decisions. We talk about the stadium, atmosphere, and post-match celebrations, as well as what life must have been like in the Warsaw end. Alongside all that, we look at the key moments of the season, review our retained and released list, and play a final ever game of MFWAJJOTM. There's also a few thank yous to round-off a great

2025/05/25

Que Sera, Sera ... it's the 9yrs Wembley preview show! Nick and Stu discuss our road to the play-off final, and how much we are looking forward to the day. Clearly hyper, we take a circuitous route through many varied topics, from CCL memories to Portuguese women's football, but we manage to stay on track to comment on Notts County, Warsaw, and Josh Neufville, as well as have another classic MFWAJJOTM.

EP365: Half. Way. There.

2025/05/16

A wonderful night in Nottingham - and we're halfway to Wembley. What were the key elements of our win at Meadow Lane, and how will we have to be different in the second leg? Whilst Owen Goodman was outstanding, Nick and Stu also look at the other main players in the victory, and what role they played. It's not all sunshine and flowers though: a strange decision regarding the end of season awards has raised our ire. Thankfully, we have a fun, random edition of MFWAJJOTM to lighten the mood.

2025/05/10

We're in the playoffs! Nick and Stu discuss how we got there, and what we might expect from Notts County, Warsaw, and Chesterfield. There's also a lot of ranting about kick-off times, TV, ticketing, and just modern football in general. A combination of tiredness and excitement made us a bit hyper and where this podcast goes, nobody knows - but it's all good fun.

EP363: The Last Scene

9yrspodcast ·

2025/05/02

Do you need a long description of what we talk about this week? It's one game left, and it's playoffs or not playoffs. Nick and Stu weigh-up our chances following on from no wins or goals in three, including a quite eventful defeat to Port Vale on Saturday. MFWAJJOTM gets us thinking about some great AFCW memories also.
