EP360: Just so typically me

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 year.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We'll keep this brief: why does everything feel so negative? We're 5th in the league! Nick and Stu pick the bones out of the current zeitgeist. Are football fans ever happy? We discuss individuals and formations, and the fourth tier promotion picture. There's also MFWAJJOTM and a look ahead to Saturday's game with Port Vale

Are we going up automatically after all? Or could we end up missing out on the play-offs entirely? We're not ruling anything out, as making predictions in this division this season has been an entirely moot exercise. Nevertheless, Nick and Stu attempt to prognosticate on whom will find themselves in the top three after 46 games. Some have, on paper, easier run-ins than others. Alongside that, we review Harrogate, discuss the 91 Football League grounds, play MFWAJJOTM, and look ahead to the trip to Doncaster on Saturday.

Nick and Stu return to pick the bones out of a mad week. Why has the team lost the ability to hold onto a lead? There are a few key reasons to investigate. The knock-on effect, with automatic promotion now looking trickier and holding on to a play-off place looking less assured, is also food for thought. Alongside that - how are so many lower league clubs losing so much money? And can Stu get the cryptic clue on MFWAJJOTM? And have you seen Adolescence yet?!

A little disquiet has accompanied the release of season and matchday ticket prices for next season. Nick and Stu consider the issues, and whether the costs are justified, and if some of the criticism has been a little unfair. Alongside that, we revisit the latest 2-2 draw from 2-0 up, and wonder whether the point with Barrow was actually better than it felt on Saturday night, and if it will serve us in the long run. We also have MFWAJJOTM and a look ahead to the trip to Warsaw on Saturday.

Nick and Stu return to discuss our return to the automatic promotion positions following a win at Carlisle and some favourable results elsewhere. How important were the changes we made, and is this an end to our dodgy run en route to a procession to promotion? Alongside this, we ostensibly discuss the realities of a football regulator, but it's safe to say we get sidetracked into many other topics, including terraces, TV, and dodgy owners. We finish with a tricky MFWAJJOTM and a look ahead to this weekend's action.
