Are we meant to hate Wrexham or are they the acceptable face of this Hollywood life?

I wanted to hate what's going on there, but Rob McElhenney & Ryan Reynolds come across as decent blokes.

The only one I'd heard off before the project started was Humphrey Ker

It will be interesting if Wrexham reach the Premier League and start giving the media's favourite 6 clubs a testing time on the pitch. Watford and Wimbledon were good news stories in the 1980s until they started beating Liverpool, Man United et al.

Ha - yes as soon as that started happening, the Long Ball Tag (deserved or otherwise) was sneeringly assigned. Conveniently overlooking Liverpool and Arsenal booting it back to the keeper at any, nay every, given opportunity.

Wimbledon were not a good news story. They were a bunch of shit kicking cheats and bullies and I still fucking hate them.

Surely not those cheeky chappies like Fash the bash who liked to elbow players in the jaw as he jumped to head the ball, Vinnie Jones who would try and break a player’s leg if he could or angel faced Dennis Wise for who butter wouldn’t melt unless you were a taxi driver.
If I remember correctly, we got our money back of Fashanu through the Insurance when he was crocked.

They invented the yellow card rotation system. Each player fouling until getting a yellow, sharing them out and spoiling play throughout. Even worse once they went a goal up. Awful team.

OK! Wimbledon was a bad example. For the record I couldn't stand them either. Wise is my least favourite footballer ever - and in a world with Robbie Savage, Joey Barton and, if you're older than me, any of the 1970s Leeds team that takes some doing.

Wise and Bowyer were cut from very similar cloths.

Back on transfers Elanga looks a perfect fit on the right wing for us, but £60m for him is way too much so I hope our scouting is working overtime.

Realistically though, we're a couple of wide players from a very decent squad right now.

Yeah, and I reckon Emery would make him a better version than the Man City / Barcelona version.
Absolutely, if Watkins were to go I reckon those 3 with Asensio back as a 10 would be a fantastic attack.
I think it's time to give Rogers the 10 role, alternating with Tielemans, perhaps.
Malen, Watkins and Torres interchangeably playing through the middle (with Ramsey, Zippy and Kadan Young (or Broggio) available as back-up) would be pretty potent.

Things that are pissing me off right now, aside from us not signing anyone of significance and PSR bullshit, is Romano’s insistence/obsession on using the word “project” when a player indicates he want to join a club. Like fuck right off.

Plus the Dons stopped us winning our final ever league title and the FA Cup in the space of 12 months.
