EP329: You drive me up the wall

Nick and Stu catch-up to discuss recent defeats to Ipswich and Wrexham, the postponement of the Crawley game, football finances, Reading, the trip to MK, and the signings of Ronan Curtis, John-Kymani Gordon, and, most interestingly, Joe Lewis ...

In the first episode of 2024, Nick and Stu discuss whether the loss of Ali Al-Hamadi and Omar Bugiel for a few weeks is purely full of negatives for the side, or whether there are some silver linings to the clouds. We also look at the games with Colchester and Forest Green; the rearranged date for the trip to Buckinghamshire; and the upcoming FA Cup tie with Ipswich. Kamikaze podcasting.

The podcast returns for the final time in 2023 to review the last few games, including excellent wins over Swindon and Crawley, and a disappointing damp squib of a defeat at home to Sutton. However, Nick doesn't believe the Boxing Day loss will do us any harm in the long run - but the upcoming loss of Ali and possibly Omar to international duty is a concern.

Nick and Stu return to review the win over Ramsgate, the FA Cup Third Round draw, TV's picks for said round, the Premier League's new TV deal, and some of the ills afflicting the match-going fan, including ticket on-sale dates, digital advertising, and fixture rescheduling. There's also an ICONIC EDITION of the Aarson Sasupermatch Game, ahead of a bold Swindon prediction.

Nick and Stu return to discuss the fortunes of the first team, focusing on the great win over Notts County and frustrating defeat at Gillingham. We also lament the change of date for the Crawley game, engage in an interesting edition of the Aaron Sasupermatch Game, and preview our FA Cup clash with Ramsgate.

We're back! Sadly with a defeat to discuss, but that's only one of three in our first 15 games, and we sit comfortably 10th in the league on the road to improvement. Nick and Stu discuss the reverse at home to Accrington, but also focus on the positives of our solid start to the season. We also discuss stewarding, Morecambe, the picture in League Two, and an interesting Aaron Sasupermatch Game.

Another lead lost - PANIC! Or not. Why calls for the manager's head so early in the season, and with only one league defeat in eight? Nick and Stu discuss, with a keen eye on tactical detail for the draw with Crewe. We also talk minute's silences and the impending implosion of western civilisation - chiefly because of the Premier League. Strap in: it's a fascinating ride this week.

Another week of AFC Wimbledon NEWS to discuss. Macklin gone, Stewart in, DTB needing to draft another member ... oh yeah, and we have some football to talk about as well. Because, you know, at this football club, it's sometimes nice to talk about, well, football. You know the 'F' in 'AFC Wimbledon' doesn't stand for football, right? It doesn't actually stand for anything. However, the 'F' in 'Milton Keynes FC' absolutely means something - as does the 'C'.

Well that was another interesting week in the world of AFC Wimbledon. However, Nick and Stu have no time for dwelling on certain matters, so we discuss another point away at Newport, some memories of away days of Wimbledon past, the visit of Stockport on Saturday, and Nick's ability to drop in wrestling references of varying relevance.

Nick and Stu revisit a winless week that feels a lot more positive than that description affords it. We come a little late (oo-er) to squeeze any the last moments of the transfer window, so we talk our new signings and departures before focusing on games with Chelsea and Forest Green. There's a bit of ranting about the daft nature of the transfer window, and the money on show in the Prem - most of it on Chelsea's subs bench, apparently. Aaron Sasupermatch Game and a quick Newport preview also included.
