As a man of the bat, which aspects of cricket would you most like to translate over to football? The rules, media, something from business-side, the fan culture, whatever.

But you can’t mention rugby blokes calling their ref ‘sir’ like hoop-shirted Elon simps on X. We are not men of the egg here.

Yeah this is about as pure as it gets for single-host delivery. Hundreds of episodes, well-researched and narrated.

Truly grim stories though so not for everyone.

I go to both regularly. When they play each other, which is more frequent nowadays, I tend to support whoever needs it most. I always wear both shirts though, one under the other, so I can pick which pub to visit before and after the game.

I grew up in Milton Keynes. When the Dons moved in I knew it was tainted fruit but I swallowed it down eagerly. I was also impressed to see the Dons fans building AFC Wimbledon so I started following their rise up the pyramid. Today I am a true 50/50 MK Dons / AFC Wimbledon fan.
