EP395: BEEN DOWN THIS WAY BEFORE
2026/04/23
Nick and Stu return to deliberate on Wimbledon's prospects of survival, after a sixth consecutive defeat left them just two points above the relegation zone, but with two favourable fixtures remaining. Can our injury-hit and low-on-confidence side get over the line? With Exeter and Burton and Leyton Orient involved in their own mini-league to finish the season, things might be looking okay ... Alongside that, we talk stewards, fan zones, Bonds, and the 2016 promotion-winning side. There's ROFHOG as always, and we take a closer look at the visit to Wigan's BRICK STADIUM, in the hope that their defence is made of Lego.
EP394: I ALWAYS FALL
2026/04/10
A bumper edition of the show as Nick and Stu talk through injuries, form, 50+1, relegation, Lincoln, Luton, end of season awards, Burton, Stockport, Sam Hutchinson, Junior Nkeng, Kevin Foster, and whatever happened to MAN OF THE MATCH? Loads and loads of Wimbledon chat to brighten spirits in a tough time, with a topical ROFHOG to go alongside it all.
EP393: AMBITION WOULDN'T ALLOW FOR COMPROMISE
2026/04/02
Nick and Stu return to talk about the outcome of the recent Dons Trust votes that open the first door to selling more equity to investors. It is no doubt needed if Wimbledon are to progress as a Football League club, as injuries to the first team squad have once again exposed depth issues, resulting in just one point from the last 12 that have kiboshed any (admittedly very optimistic) play-off chat. How will the season finish from here? Alongside questions about Jake Reeves, Joe Lewis, and Omar Bugiel, we also have the usual talk of the ills of modern football, a look ahead to the Easter weekend games, and a more painful that it should have been edition of ROFHOG.
EP392: I FEEL GOOD, I FEEL GOOD, I FEEL GOOD
2026/03/13
Nick and Stu return to discuss back-to-back wins against teams in trouble. How have we gone from one win in 13, to five in eight?! There's lots to pick through from both games, although sometimes football is hard to explain. We also talk 50.1 and the upcoming votes: have we found a loophole in proceedings?! There's also the usual rants and moans about kick-off times and changing kits, with ROFHOG and a look ahead to Stevenage to complete another fun show!
EP391: LOOK AT YOUR WATCH NOW
2026/02/27
Light and shade on this week's podcast, as Nick and Stu discuss the high of an excellent win over Bradford, and the lows of the reality of ticket price rises, and what they tell us about the ongoing financial struggles facing the club. Alongside that stark message, there's also the issues of Sky Sports messing with all of our lives, pointlessly, and celebrity fans making children out of people that know better. At least there is a fun ROFHOG to add some levity, before we look ahead to a trip to Mansfield. But there's also pointless kit changes to get Nick annoyed from the get-go.
EP390: OPEN UP YOUR MORNING LIGHT
2026/02/19
Nick and Stu pick through the changes that have turned Wimbledon from insomnia cures to entertainers. There are goals, goals, and goals ... but are we taking a risk by being more open? We also investigate injuries and missing players in the squad, before talk once again returns to finances in football, and how the latest set of club accounts from across the EFL demonstrate how far away from reality the sport has become. There's also a fun ROFHOG, and a look ahead to the game with Bradford on Saturday. Did we mention kick-off times? Oh and yeah, a rant on player salaries ...
EP389: WHERE IT STOPS, NOBODY KNOWS
2026/02/13
Nick and Stu return with an extended episode to discuss all the latest financial news coming out of the club. What did we make of the recent meeting, and how concerned should everyone be about the immediate future of AFC Wimbledon? There's also lots of RUMOUR and INNUENDO to talk through - was there more to the whispers than people believe? Thankfully we have two wins to discuss to lighten the mood, with the 3-2 win over Reading a source of particular solace. ROFHOG and a look ahead to the trip to Barnsley complete a long but important show!
EP388: AIN'T GOT NO MONEY
2026/01/22
Nick and Stu return to pick the bones out of the disheartening defeat to Doncaster. Other alliterative phrases are available. Alongside that, there is a review of the comings and goings of the past week, from Harbottle to Tilley to Nelson, and what that suggests for the shape of the side headed into what is looking a nervy second-half of the campaign. A glance around League One, talk of bringing cash back to Plough Lane, and a different game of ROFHOG complete another fun, despite the circumstances, episode. Oh, there’s also a look ahead to the trip to winless in 10, on the back of seven straight defeats, Rotherham …
EP387: HURT OR TAKE HEART
2026/01/15
We're back! Nick and Stu return after a winter break to evaluate how the squad is shaping up ahead of a tough second-half of the season, following a dodgy spell of just one win in 11 games. We review the games with Stevenage, Exeter, Leyton Orient, and Wycombe; mourn the departure of Danilo Orsi; weigh-up the pros and cons of starting Junior Nkeng; and wonder whether our forward options are strong enough. There's also the usual rages against the dying of football in the modern day, and a fun game of ROFHOG. We finish with a look ahead to Saturday's huge game with Doncaster.
EP386: DOWN THIS ROAD BEFORE
2025/12/13
Nick and Stu are here for the second time this week! This time they review the dour 1-0 defeat at Exeter, and the squad's illness and injury problems, but there are also some fun conversations to be had surrounding kick-off times, substitutes, and the third tier. What would their team look like if only three subs were allowed, and everyone was fit? There's also a more serious reflection on the fan ownership debate, whilst a festive ROFHOG brings some levity to proceedings. They conclude with a quick look ahead to Saturday's visit of Playersfield.
EP385: A VERY PLEASANT SIDE TO YOU
2025/12/09
Nick and Stu return to discuss the draw at Huddersfield, preview the trip to Exeter, play ROFHOG, and shoot the breeze on a variety of footballing topics, including sub rules ...
EP384: SOME PEOPLE REALLY NEED IT
2025/11/27
It's time to be positive! Sadly, we fail this week as Nick and Stu review another defeat, look ahead to what looks like another defeat, and talk about the perilous financial position of the club which, in the words of the Dons Trust, is currently unsustainable. Still, good news about the chocolate oranges. And at least we have a fun game of ROFHOG to play, and some chatter around merchandise, advertising boards, and goalkeepers to keep you entertained. Yes it's an extender, so get comfy!
EP383: ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HERE
2025/11/14
Well we have to talk about it, however painful. The 5-0 defeat at bottom of the table Peterborough was a deflating experience on top of a recent run of poor form, but were there positives to take from it? Well, in truth, no. But we try. Nick and Stu also play a new game: Dons Trust rule-making Tombola, in which new regulations are seemingly plucked at random from a National Lottery machine. There's also the usual weekly game, ROFHOG, and a quick nose around the third tier as per usual. Also some musings on Jason Euell, Southampton, Danilo Orsi, and girlbands.
EP382: FEELING WEAK
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 at the third tier, and a classic ROFHOG all feature this week – and we have outtakes as well for those that want some extra bonus content!
