Fearless in Devotion

Is the play off dream gone? That’s the stark question Andy and Tim have to answer after another horrific defeat in a week seems to have derailed a season. Too many players were off par and we’re looking at you Max, Arthur, George Dobson and Matty James.We pick the bones out of a painful defeat at bogey side Birmingham and ask if there are positives we can take into the last four games of the season. We also re-rate the transfer window and go through the final few games and try to identify where we can pick up points.But there is some good news this week as we get a huge announcement from Hollywood as Welcome to Wrexham is renewed for three seasons. Surely that gives us three more chances to get to the Premier League?#wrexham #wrexhamafc #wxmafc #wrexhamfc #birminghamcity #birminghamcityfootballclub #southamptonfc #hullcity #ryanrenolds #robmcelhenney #eflchampionship #efl To subscribe to our Wrexham is the Game newsletter for £14.80 visit here: https://wrexhamisthegame.substack.com...You can buy tickets for the Live Night here: https://www.mghall.co.uk/events/fearl...

Welcome to the ‘Wrexham got hammered’ edition - they don’t happen very often! We look at what went wrong but we have to take our hats off to Southampton. They are the benchmark we need to reach. But first we reveal some big news! Then we dive into the analysis and ask if Parky or the players are to blame plus what we can do to turn things around. We all agree the play offs push is not over by a long way.We mention our most infamous hammerings and preview the now huge match against Birmingham. Always look on the bright side of life…#wrexham #wrexhamafc #wxmafc #wrexhamfc #birminghamcity  #birminghamcityfootballclub #southamptonfc #southampton  #ryanrenolds #robmcelhenney #eflchampionship #efl You can buy tickets for the Live Night here: https://www.mghall.co.uk/events/fearless-in-devotion-rescheduled-date-16th-aprilEnjoy this Fat Boar-sponsored episode?

Welcome to the Easter sore head edition. Tim, Andy and to a lesser extent Liam hit West Brom hard but like the team, we’ve recovered (well, sort of). We ask why were Wrexham so passive in the first half and so good in the second. Was Arthur to blame for the first and why was Issa definitely to blame of the second.But then, the second half - how good was Windass and have we made peace with him not celebrating. We look at two beautiful goals and one amazing, world class save - whatever other people think.We’ll then look ahead to the Southampton match and ask if we’d change anything (Note: Liam does want to change things). We also ask should Hyam go to the World Cup and examine the women’s team furore over Jodie Bartle’s passionate team talk which drew sexist comments.#wrexham #wrexhamafc #wxmafc #wrexhamfc #westbromwichalbion #westbrom #southamptonfc #southampton  #ryanrenolds #robmcelhenney #eflchampionship #efl You can buy tickets for the Live Night here: https://www.mghall.co.uk/events/fearless-in-devotion-rescheduled-date-16th-aprilEnjoy this Fat Boar-sponsored episode?

We’ve done it. Wrexham Woman are Adran champions and European football is coming back to the Racecourse. We go through an amazing win for Jenny Sugerman’s charges. The match has been a culmination of great work by Gemma Jones over a long period of time of time as she realises a dream. We have special mention for Lili Jones, Faye Knox and of course top goal scorer Katie Barker.There’s also the small matter of record-breaking Wrexham AFC accounts. Liam was one of a few journalists invited to the media briefing and he takes through the key points including a £33.33 million turnover, a 24% increase from the previous year. Losses have gone up to £14.84 million and the Kop will cost just shy of £70m. There are also payments to Rob and Ryan’s companies totalling nearly £4m - plus an amazing stat about where our revenue comes from.Oh and Wales lost, but let’s gloss over that…Photo credit: Wrexham AFC#wrexham #wrexhamafc #wxmafc #wrexhamfc #westbromwichalbion #wrexhamwomen #sheffieldunited #ryanrenolds #robmcelhenney #welcometowrexham #s4c Watch Maxine Hughes: Cancer At What Cost? here....https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...You can buy tickets for the FiD Live Night here: https://www.mghall.co.uk/events/fearl...Enjoy this Fat Boar-sponsored episode?

We’re back in the race. After a brilliant smash and grab against Sheffield United Rhys, Tim and Andy ask if that was the best win of the season. We examine just how Parky’s battered army managed to turn it around at Bramall Lane and what it means for the play-off picture. Rhys lays into our fans in an amazing, and slightly unhinged tirade, while we hail Sam Smith, Issa Kabore and George Thomason for their recent efforts.We also examine a brilliant win with a brilliant goal for Wrexham Women, calls up to the Welsh side and give the sad news of the passing of a well-known Wrexham fan.We look ahead to Wales’ crunch match and ask the question ‘what’ your biggest internal celebration’ Josh Windass style.#wrexham #wrexhamafc #wxmafc #wrexhamfc #watfordfc #hullcity #sheffieldunited #ryanrenolds #robmcelhenney You can buy tickets for the Live Night here: https://www.mghall.co.uk/events/fearl...Enjoy this Fat Boar-sponsored episode?

The battle for the play-offs is heating up as Wrexham have left the door open to the chasing pack. Andy, Tim and Liam discuss Tuesday’s loss to Watford and ask was it tiredness, or something more? Who is the most knackered out there and who do we really need back after the international break? But really, is everyone just overreacting and do we need to get real?We look at the referee’s performance, the race for the play offs and ask if we really had a good transfer window in the cold light of day. We also explore if there’s anyone we can bring in to bolster the squad or is it too late now.The lads also look ahead to the visit to Sheffield United, the proposed pre-season match with Manchester United and make a call to arms for the big women’s match at the Racecourse.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Enjoy this Fat Boar-sponsored episode?
