    EP396: I FEEL SO EXTRAORDINARY

    With safety secured, Nick and Stu relax a little into an unscripted edition of the show, in which where the podcast goes, nobody knows ... Amongst our ramblings, there's talk of the win at Wigan, how subs changed the games, whether certain players are likely to remain with us next year, and how the goalkeeper situation shapes up next term. There's also a look ahead to the final weekend in the third tier: who will take the final relegation place, and which three clubs will join Bolton in the playoffs? There's also a ROFHOG, and the more serious issue of the Saturday 3pm blackout ...

    EP395: BEEN DOWN THIS WAY BEFORE

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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!
