You remember the last episode with Arthur celebrating
his 100th birthday at the Racecourse?
Now, we know what you'’re thinking,
why didn'’t we show the match, so you could watch as the team clinched
a heroic win just for Arthur? Well, here'’s why.
Wrexham!
Cannon'’s got to be solid here.
And he isn'’t. Shot comes in!
- Oh.
- What the hell was that? - What was that?
Goodness me. Oh.
Tranmere win at Wrexham. Well...
We'’ve been doing so well-- worked our way up to third place--
but losses like this could ruin our chances at promotion,
and this one definitely ruined a nice old man'’s birthday.
But we'’re actually getting ahead of ourselves here.
All this was much later on in the season,
and we'’re not ready to show you that yet.
Let'’s back up a bit.
Uh. A bit more.
This is a story that starts long ago.
The year after Wrexham AFC was founded,
153 Welsh people decided to go on a journey
to protect their culture and language from the English.
They hopped on a boat called the Mimosa
and sailed many, many miles to Patagonia to start over.
But what they came across was a harsh and barren landscape.
Still they persevered,
working long and hard to build a new home for themselves.
Since then, these Patagonian settlers
have kept the spirit of Wales alive,
even though many of their descendants today
have never actually been to Wales.
This is Moriah Chapel, and it'’s the oldest Welsh chapel that still stands.
I'’m a direct descendant from the first settlers
that came here in 1865.
I just always think how scary it must have been.
There was nothing there.
The Welsh settlers were so determined
and so resilient to protect and preserve their culture.
They took Wales with them.
They brought it here, and they built it back up from scratch.
To say that I am Welsh, and to feel Welsh,
and to never have been in Wales--
For me, it'’s embedded within me
because all the sacrifices that these people made--
I wouldn'’t be here without it.
David Mardones, "Hi, greetings from Welsh Patagonia."
- Wow. - Uh. "We continue to support Wrexham from my group,
Patagonians of Wrexham support group."
Brilliant. That is a nice one.
Being here in Patagonia, you'’re so far away that you do feel detached.
Not only from Wales, but from the rest of the world.
When Rob and Ryan learnt there was
a Welsh-speaking community in Patagonia
and they speak Welsh and maintain many aspects of Welsh culture,
they were, frankly, very surprised.
They were also surprised that many of them had never been to Wales.
So they invited them to Wales for our biggest national holiday,
Saint David'’s Day.
Hello, everyone.
We-We wanna fly you to Wales for Saint David'’s Day
and to watch a Wrexham game at the Racecourse.
♪ Don'’t forget Where you came from ♪
♪ Don'’t forget What you'’re made of ♪
♪ The ones who were there ♪
♪ When no one else would care ♪
♪ Don'’t be afraid to cry now ♪
♪ Even when the world Comes crashing in ♪
♪ Don'’t forget to sing When you win ♪
♪ Don'’t forget to sing When you win ♪
Yeah, I'’m leaving now.
Good-- Good luck. - Cheers, mate.
Work hard, son. Good luck.
Keep winning. Keep winning, boys.
A little bit, mate.
I was born in Gambia.
I lived there until I was six years old.
For me, it'’s always been a dream, you know,
to be able to represent my country in the African Cup of Nations.
AFCON is the biggest, um, tournament in-in Africa.
It involves all the best African teams and great stars.
A lot of good players, uh, from all over the world.
We have a lot of great stars
like, uh, Mo Salah, Sadio Mané Victor Osimhen.
I'’m-I'm happy to be
the first player ever to represent Wrexham in th-the AFCON.
When players are called up for international duty,
it'’s obviously a massive honor for them,
but, um, uh, they can'’t play for us, the club.
So, you know, we'’re thrilled for Jacob to be going to AFCON,
but just wanna make sure that, uh, you know, we don'’t suffer in his absence.
- Have the best time. Can I come with ya?
- Good luck. Not allowed to bring anyone.
- Have a safe-- Do not get injured. I won'’t.
- Don'’t get an illness. I won'’t.
- Come back good. I will.
And come back with more goals in your locker.
I will. Definitely. - Good luck, Mendy.
Thank you. See you later. See ya. Bye.
I'’ve never been to Ivory Coast before.
It reminds me a bit of Gambia, though.
It brings back memories from my childhood.
I feel like I belong in Wrexham
because we share the same mentality and the same passion.
But, uh, my plan is, obviously,
to end in Gambia when I retire from football.
And, you know, going back to the motherland
and feel like, uh, you are where you belong.
And-- And, you know, it is very emotional.
Welcome to the Charles Konan Banny Stadium in the Ivory Coast.
Can Guinea or The Gambia find the win today?
A massive, um, thing to be proud of.
Not just for me and for my family, but for the-- My whole tribe, you know?
In Gambia, there'’s a few tribes, and, uh, mine is called Manjaco or Mandyak.
Me representing Gambia as well,
another Manjaco, that'’s something I'’m really proud of.
I'’m super, super excited.
Jacob Mendy is starting today for The Gambia.
Yes, Gambia'’s gonna win today. Gambia'’s gonna win today!
Well, this is it.
The Gambia are the lowest-rated side according to FIFA
and they'’re in desperate need of points this time around.
Fadera. Switch wings. Now there'’s a little bit of room.
And there'’s not a lot of men in the box.
He'’s found a shirt in white though.
And a strike off goal from Jacob Mendy.
Go, Jacob! Go!
Every time I was looking to the fans,
you just see people dancing and dancing and singing and...
To the byline he goes. And thumps it in.
And a proper shot on target for The Gambia.
Inside. The ball back to Guinea.
And they'’ve got to take their-- Might they do so now?
Guilavogui into the middle! And they may have done!
Guinea have opened the scoring! Finally the breakthrough is made!
And Guinea have beaten The Gambia.
We wanted to win that game,
and, uh, we-we did our best and we put all our effort.
But people were still supporting us and dancing and rapping to us and cheering us.
And, you know, I felt really proud.
When I was six and I was a kid in-in Gambia,
I never thought I'’d play for-- for Gambia.
Um, now I'’m here and, you know, you just stop for a minute and you think,
"I-- I got to represent my country."
Right now, this is the peak.
I get to play for Wrexham, get to play for my country.
It'’s a massive feeling, that.
Home.
Hello, everybody. Hello.
Hi. Hi, everybody.
Hi.
Oh, I'’m super happy that you'’re here today.
This is an exciting opportunity '’cause we're gonna launch a book.
This book that we'’re celebrating today,
called The Lucky Dragon,
is our first book in Welsh and in English.
Here at Wrexham Football Club, we are big advocates
for the preservation of Welsh and Welsh culture.
So what we'’ve done is partnered up with HP and a publishing company called NABU
to find new and fun ways to get kids
to engage with the Welsh language, uh, through technology.
So they'’re using a HP device
to color pages of The Lucky Dragon NABU book.
Is it exciting? Have you ever colored in anything like this before?
No.
And we'’re going to select
one of the drawings
and print a one-off edition for the school
with the selected drawing on the front of the book.
How would you like to meet and see some players?
Yes!
- Yes!
We'’ve asked players from the men'’s and women's team
to come down and add to the fun.
"I am the unluckiest kid in town.
I promise I'’m telling the truth."
Well, I got so excited that I-- I felt like I wanted to scream
because, like, I love the players and I love Wrexham.
This here.
And he signed right there.
Two signatures? - Yeah.
How come?
I just asked him and he-- and he did it.
Everyone look this way.
Three, two, one.
Wrex!
An exciting game today away to Newport County.
This is an opportunity for us to go top, uh, if we-- if we'’re successful.
Um, in other good news,
we'’ve, uh, we've heard that Arsenal will not be exercising their option
to bring Arthur back from loan.
He'’s staying with us to the end of the season,
which is a huge boost to everyone.
Clarke
looking for the run over the top.
Ben Tozer heads that one clear.
- Will Boyle'’s heavy touch.
Well, the referee gave the foul, I think.
The referee'’s got a decision to make now.
He'’s clearly won the ball, but the same time,
he'’s followed through to the man as well.
And he could be in trouble.
Hey, tell him it'’s not a red fucking card.
Referee speaks to him. No. No!
Red card.
Will Boyle is sent off after 17 and a half minutes of this derby.
- He'’s won the ball cleanly. Listen.
- I am. I'’m calm. - You need to relax and calm yourself down.
- You need to leave him alone. - Yeah, but can I just say something?
- You know-- - Yeah, you need to.
Parkinson gets the yellow card.
And it'’s advantage Newport now with Wrexham being down to ten men.
Yeah, I think y-you'’re never out of a game ev-even with ten men.
Football'’s littered with-- with comeback stories, uh,
and playing against a bit of adversity.
We'’ve shown that ourselves many times o-over the years.
So, I think the lads have got that belief
that if we stick to the game plan or what we'’ve worked on in training,
whatever'’s happening in the early part of the game,
we'’re good enough to come back into games.
Delaney. Just outside the Wrexham penalty.
Crosses. Chances left foot...
Seb Palmer-Houlden
runs in front of the Wrexham supporters.
We'’ve seen Arthur Okonkwo make some stunning saves,
but no goalkeeper in the world is getting there.
What a brilliant header.
Cleworth down the line. Mullin can'’t quite get a touch.
He'’s done enough to spin away from his mark.
That'’s good, covering defense.
For Wrexham, it'’s about soaking up that pressure
and then take the chances when they come because that is so crucial.
Yes, Mulls!
Paul Mullin ducks away,
goes to the long-range lob.
Townsend gets back to save it.
A stressful afternoon for Paul Mullin.
Let'’s go then. Come on!
They just nullified any sort of opportunity at all
for Wrexham to really try and trouble them.
Fucking unbelievable.
This is our first loss of 2024.
We had the chance to go top today, and Newport County put a stop to that.
It'’s disappointing, to say the least.
We were really, really bad yesterday, and you can'’t disguise that.
It was just crap.
There'’s a lot of pressure on Mullin to perform.
He'’s doing his best.
Is his best good enough at the moment? No.
But that'’s not his fault alone.
That'’s a team effort.
Sometimes things go against you so much
and the mountain is too big to climb,
and it just was today, what with those circumstances.
But we-- Listen, we move on to next week.
A disappointing weekend though.
We lost to Newport 1-nil.
That was pretty grim.
And whichever way you look at it.
There'’s a fifth league defeat. I think seven in total for the season.
Probably one of the most uninspired performances under Parky.
I'’d probably include the Stockport hammering in that
'’cause at least we gave it some sort of go.
Why are we so bad away from home compared to at home?
Wrexham, the best-performing home team
and the worst-performing away team.
43 goals and 35 points at home,
but just 11 goals and 17 points on the road.
Penalty to Wrexham.
That was kind of predictable.
So, it'’s, uh, it's over.
It'’s a good test of Parky'’s credentials right now
because we don'’t lose games in a row.
You know, if-if detractors come out again, is this-- is this a mini crisis?
Well-- - A crisis if we lose at Salford
That'’s-- That's a mini crisis.
Wrexham are in desperate straits,
and need something remarkable.
Knocks it first time over the top. Tozer wins that well.
Evans helps it on quickly.
Vassell slips, and Mullin'’s trying to run through the middle.
Go on, Mulls!
And he runs straight to Tilt.
Mulls, just knock it straight.
Let'’s go! Come on!
Might be tempted
to change shape soon though as well, maybe.
Yeah, it'’s not working.
It'’s not far from kitchen sink time, is it?
According to the complaints that'’s been leveled at the team
and Parky this season, it'’s perhaps
a lack of willingness to be flexible
when things aren'’t going right.
The Wrexham players and fans
are getting really frustrated with him.
So, after this loss,
that drops us down to fourth place.
Um, and-and now we are-- we are in the playoffs only.
Look at the squad we'’ve got. Look at the budget we'’ve got.
Look at the money we'’ve spent.
We were told this squad was being built for League One.
So, we need to get there.
If we don'’t go up, that'’s massively disappointing.
When you'’ve got Paul Mullin,
you definitely feel there-there'’s a yard of pace that'’s been lost.
You-You watch him week in, week out.
You think he'’s not quite as quick as he was.
Doesn'’t matter 'cause he'’s stil a clever player,
and he'’s still-he's still a natural goalscorer.
Move the ball! Quickly, nice and bright.
One and two touch.
It feels like an eternity since we played at Racecourse,
and it'’s good to be home.
But now it'’s a test, if only psychologically,
just for Wrexham to remind themselves of how strong a team we are, I think.
Keep the tempo. Oh. Oh. All of us. Move it in quickly.
Wrexham needs to stop the run of defeats.
Carries it inside.
Evans got a chance to switch to Barnett and does so.
- Wrexham are looking snappy.
A high line from Barnett.
Can Wrexham work a through ball? Yes, they can!
Mullin to Barnett on the last defender.
Hits a shot!
- But it'’s saved. Pity.
It was a game where I think the performance level was-was good.
We had, in the course of the 90 minutes, so many entries
into the opposition penalty box, but the moment didn'’t come.
The final ball'’s been quite poor, hasn'’t it?
Mullin couldn'’t have done better there, but...
The longer that goes, you could feel that Bradford gained a little bit of belief.
Piling on the pressure. We need to make these count now
I think the lads understand we'’re gonna freshen the team up.
Would you make changes now?
I don'’t know. Do you take Fletcher off? No, I don'’t think so.
Absolutely.
They'’re preparing a sub,
and it'’s gonna be brand-new signing Jack Marriott on for Mullin.
Feels weird to be watching the last ten minutes going for the win
without Mullin on the pitch.
He'’s our talisman. He'’s our-our sort of star man.
Do you think the injury that he suffered in-in preseason
maybe affected him a little bit more than-than he let on?
When we'’ve got everyone together-- we'’ve got everyone fit--
when everyone'’s firing, then we'’re-we're a different prospect.
And I think Paul-- You know,
I know from talking to him, he'’s disappointed
with-with the way the season'’s panned out for him personally,
but I think there will be ebbs, there will be troughs.
At some point, probably,
we'’re going to have a bad season where things are a challenge.
And I think it'’s incredibly important
that we all collectively are mentally prepared for that.
O'’Connell heads it into Lee in midfield.
Put under pressure by McDonald, who seems to be holding him. Surely is holding him.
Ref hasn'’t given it. And Cook'’s one-on-one. Can he finish?
Oh. Okonkwo gets there. And then the rebound goes in!
And Wrexham go behind with 15 seconds left.
As we approach three years of the Rob-and-Ryan era
there'’s an expectation on Wrexham to win every game.
It really is crisis mode for Wrexham right now, isn'’t it?
It'’s a long time since Wrexham failed to score at home.
With this loss, Wrexham dropped to fifth in the table,
and the clubs below us are quickly narrowing that points gap, aren'’t they?
We'’ve had three years of pretty much un--
uh, untrammeled success,
and this is probably the first time that our form has dipped.
Um, I'’ve been struck by, uh, the speed at which people have looked
to call for the head of the manager or write off players.
He'’s a dinosaur. He won'’t change the way he plays.
He won'’t bring substitutes on till 20 minutes from the end.
He'’s made changes too late, in my opinion.
With Mullin-- Mullin and Fletcher up front-- they'’re getting tired.
A new-- A new manager. Boom.
We'’ve got very used to-to years of easy living,
and now the hard times, um, are pinching a little bit.
Make sure you don'’t get your fucking heads down.
You can'’t carry on winning, winning, winning, winning, winning
like we have been doing for two and a bit seasons.
There is gonna be bumps in the road at some stage.
The strength of the squad and the character of the squad
is how you come through them bumps in the road.
We have to turn this around. It'’s as simple as that.
What we don'’t need is three away games in nine days.
So, of course, that'’s what we've got.
Wrexham come into this game
on the back of four straight defeats.
Phil Parkinson'’s response: he makes four changes.
Ryan Barnett and Paul Mullin dropped to the bench.
That'’s gotta feel like a massive blow
to a star player like Mullin.
There'’s a saying people say, "If-If they'’re missing chances,
don'’t worry about it with center forwards."
But for me, it'’s all to the opposite.
If I'’m missing the chances, then it'’s time to worry because it'’s not what I do.
I sort of felt like maybe '’cause I hadn'’t scored for a few games, gaffer lost faith in me.
I think that'’s sort of lit a switch in me to take it on the chin and get on with it.
But it'’s not about me. It'’s all about the team'’s success.
Young has a look up. Young signals.
- Sweeps it into the net! - Yeah!
Wrexham take a deserved lead!
James McClean lunging in at the near post!
So often this season, we'’ve been rubbish away from home.
Finally at MK Dons we'’re good.
We'’re great, in fact.
...in the box, drills it.
The keeper makes a good save...
Yet we still can'’t find a way to win.
Payne, 25 yards out, punches it in.
A nice little clip around the corner where there'’s a chance, and slams it in!
- Wrexham have gotta be so disappointed. Yeah.
Too fucking easy here!
Been so many missed opportunities
away from home this season.
Wrexham draw at MK Dons.
I feel like I should be happy with a draw, but I'’m really not
It just feels like a loss.
It feels like we'’ve dropped points.
We'’ve got to keep this into perspective, guys.
That was an excellent performance,
but you look at Phil Parkinson looking so frustrated.
We should have won that by a mile.
There just seems to be now this nervousness
in a group that desperately needs to find some confidence again.
There'’s that seed of doubt now with Wrexham that we know we can be beaten.
Last time we played here, we lost 4-1.
Mendy back from international duty. Crosses right-footed.
It'’s a hell of a save.
Tell ya what...
It'’s dinked to the far post,
dangerously driven in, and it'’s there.
I think it'’s Johnny Williams who taps it in.
Fucking hell!
A beautifully-worked free kick.
Gillingham are celebrating
- like they'’ve just won the league.
There is the final whistle.
- Wrexham lose on the road again
It'’s a difficult week, maybe, as a Wrexham fan.
Yeah, it'’s not good, is it?
You know, I'’m getting messages all the time
of people that have put bets on us to go up and saying should they cash out
and, you know, "Have the wheels come off?"
And all that sort of thing.
We'’re just a bit cursed right now.
Normally, I'’d feel confident we can get a result
against one of the worst teams in the league, even away from home.
But at this point, I can'’t say I am that confident.
Another away game,
another distant journey.
Wrexham away to Forest Green Rovers.
Forest Green Rovers second bottom of the league,
who are looking to go up automatically.
We'’ve got to try and put away teams that are down the bottom of the table.
And so Phil Parkinson has rotated the team around.
Paul Mullin comes in for Steve Fletcher.
Young-- What a mistake by Young, and now Wrexham are under pressure here.
The ball played in round the back of the defense.
Osadebe hits it, and goodness me, scores.
Wow, make a mistake and immediately you'’re punished
Right now, we are in the lowest point of our entire tenure.
I'’m not a football expert. So what the fuck do I know?
But I can'’t-- No one can seem to figure out what is going wrong.
Certainly, our away form has been a little trashy,
but goddamn it, I love this club with every cell in my body, and I wanna--
It'’s like I die when they lose.
There'’s not much time left. The ref--
That'’s gotta be a penalty. Yes, it is.
- Awful challenge. - Mullin was after it.
A two-footed challenge, just lunging in.
Mullin with the penalty.
He sets himself, steps up.
Scores! Wrexham get the equalizer.
Blows for the final whistle. The 93rd-minute equalizer for Wrexham.
I don'’t know though, Neil, I mean--
That is from us giving away a silly goal in the third minute
to us just not putting enough threat on Forest Green.
Frustrating.
We just have to do better. Um...
And I think that Rob and I need to show our face.
We need to go to the town and go to the Racecourse and just be there.
We got work to do, but we'’ll figure it out.
Okay, bye.
Remember our Welsh friends in Patagonia?
Let'’s get them to Wales.
Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham!
I got David the shirt last year.
I posted it in the local post office in Wrexham.
The pure excitement on his face came shining through when he got it.
I was so, so please when got it.
It strikes a chord with us here,
knowing that we'’ve got friends on the other side of the world.
They think about Wales and where they came from.
And we think about them too.
Look, the truth is our boys are a little down right now.
We haven'’t been playing our best, and that can take a toll on morale.
Not just on the team but throughout the whole town.
So we'’ve sent in the big dog, Mr. Rob McElhenney.
I wish I could there myself,
but unfortunately, I'’m currently ensnared in an edit suite
making sure Rob doesn'’t seem better than me in Deadpool,
which I just unfortunately had to cut him out of.
Is this how he finds out?
Of course.
It felt like
the right time to visit Wrexham
and spend some time with the team and the people.
Do you like the football?
There'’s also a rumor going around
that the son of a close personal friend might be coming to town for a visit.
- Cheers. Thank you. - Of course.
I love Wrexham. I consider it my second home.
I think it'’s just one of those places that just draws you back
and always welcomes you back.
But it felt like morale had really dropped at that point,
and I was-- I was really concerned.
So we wanted to go down there and show our support.
- Good to see ya. - Good to see you, buddy.
- Good luck tomorrow. Good to see ya. - Thank you.
I can'’t wait for the game tomorrow. How you feel?
I'’m good. Are you gonna be there?
- Yeah. - Okay, good.
I'’m sure I'll come. It'’ll be 4-nil?
Fuck these guys, right?
There'’s Tommy.
Okay, the haircut. You changed the haircut?
As a cochairman of a football club, it'’s good to show your face
and give some support in person, especially when they'’re struggling a bit.
One of the things that we love most about this team is their character.
So it'’s important for us to remind them that we are 100% behind them.
Hi!
Here we go.
No pressure.
Welcome, Prince William.
Um, so Prince William is here in Wrexham today because it is Saint David'’s day,
which is obviously the Welsh sort of national holiday.
We don'’t get the day off on Saint David'’s Day,
which is a bit of a swizz.
As Prince of Wales-- Prince William--
he'’s gotta come and press the flesh,
kiss babies and do all that sort of business that princes do.
Has the journey been as exciting as you-- as it looked on the outside?
It'’s far exceeded anything we could'’ve ever imagined.
That'’s great. It's incredible what you guys are doing.
You know, for us, it'’s great that Wrexham football club has--
and Wrexham as a whole--
has become a place that the Royals put on their itinerary
when they'’re coming to visit Wales.
Look! Humph, how are you? It'’s been a while. Good to see you.
And you. Welcome. Welcome to the--
Can I point something out? Because people are like,
-"Rob must be 5'’2"."
I want you to look at something. Ryan is giant.
- We'’ve got a bit of a-- - Look at the-- This is the ceiling.
- I can touch the ceiling. - Look where he is.
These are giant men that I have to stand next to.
Giant men.
When we first met, we were both probably--
- Well, you were probably that big. - You were always that high.
I went to school with Prince William.
I have known him since I was seven or something like that.
I mean, we literally shared a bedroom from probably seven till ten.
Did you think when you started out
on the crazy idea with Rob that it would end up like this?
No. No. No. I mean, Rob was like, "We should buy a football team."
And I was like...
Then he bought one.
You give so many football fans
whose team maybe aren'’t in the glory days that they want to be-- or used to be--
the hope and the optimism that one day you can be back in those echelons again.
- So... Yeah.
Wrexham'’s well and truly on the map.
Well, Andy, it appears
some royalty have arrived in Wrexham.
The Prince of Wales has been spotted in the Turf.
You know what'’s easier? A shot of Four Walls Whiskey.
And the prince of Wrexham, Rob McElhenney, is also here
for our home match against Accrington Stanley.
He will be unveiling
the temporary Kop'’s new sponsorship, the Fourth Wall.
Wow. That'’s a stand now.
Like the little hints from the original Kop.
Yeah. - The little edges in the background.
We hope it brings a little luck to the club
after some average performances in recent weeks.
So, we went to the parade.
Someone from the staff comes to me, and he'’s like, "Here'’s your flag."
"My flag?"
"Yes, you'’re holding the flag."
"Like the flag? The Welsh flag?" "Yes."
And he gives me a huge flag. As tall as me.
So I was already like, "Okay, okay, okay. Keep it together. Hold it together."
I'’d like to welcome Wrexham Council'’s guests,
who have come all the way from Patagonia.
- Bienvenido... ...a Wrexham.
And then the singer comes along, and he starts singing.
And I was like, "Okay, I'’m done." I just grabbed David.
David was next to me. I grabbed him really hard.
He was also crying, and I started bawling, crying my eyes out.
I was like, "Okay, just let it go in the middle of the square."
It'’s a beautiful day at the SToK Cae Ras
as fourth place Wrexham prepare to take on Accrington Stanley.
It'’s a hugely important match
because given Wrexham'’s history of failure in the playoffs...
Grimsby look to have won it!
...we can'’t afford to remain outside the automatic promotion spots.
With our away performances continuing to offer us nothing,
this home game is an absolute must-win to get us back into the top three.
Wrexham, Wrexham, Wrexham!
I think today is about fucking for ourselves,
putting a complete performance in.
A complete performance.
So let'’s go and win.
Playing at home makes me feel powerful at times.
You know, it makes me feel like we can be unstoppable
if we get on top of teams and play the right way.
And I always feel like going on that pitch
that no matter what the score is, no matter what time of the game,
we can always win, and I can always score a goal.
Ultimately, the responsibility then falls with me
because I'’m the one who hasn'’t been scoring.
I wanna say this shit outright.
It sticks in my fucking throat how these cunts celebrated on the pitch
when they beat us at their place, and it fucking really does.
Oh, fuck it. There is no mercy here today, right?
I don'’t f-- I want everything bang on with and without the ball,
and go kill the fuckers off, right?
That'’s fucking it.
- Fucking come on, boys. Come on, boys!
Let'’s go win.
You'’re fucking beautiful.
Welcome to the commentary
of Wrexham versus Accrington Stanley.
Wrexham fans all around the stadium
waving their scarves.
Wrexham! Wrexham!
It'’s a great sight and a nice way to whip up a bit of atmosphere
before the game begins.
Wrexham have won only two of their last nine games.
They'’re surely eager to redeem themselves today.
Let'’s get back to normal service, eh?
Mullin gets us on the way. Back to Cleworth.
O'’Connell goes over the top.
- Palmer looks offside. Great ball.
There'’s no offside!
Palmer, in the box, right-hand side. Drills it!
Good save with the feet by Vitek.
He wanted that all the way.
Let'’s get 'em! Come on!
McClean, punching it
to the corner of the box.
Cleworth still there. Barnett'’s outside it, uses him.
Barnett sweeps across it.
- Yeah! Yeah!
Fucking come on!
1-nil, Mullin. Ha-ha!
Mullin scores!
His 93rd goal for Wrexham.
Simple, wasn'’t it, though?
Wrexham!
All right. That'’s how we get it started.
Shipley'’s struggling against Barnett.
That'’s the recipe for trouble for Accrington.
Boyle wins ahead.
Left over the top. Difficult for Mullin to take,
but he'’s into the box, and he hooks it!
So close. That was superb.
That was fucking nasty.
Absolutely superb by Mullin.
Center backs up the pitch, trying to get hold.
Oh, hang on a second. McClean picks a pocket.
And now Mullin'’s running at the last defender.
Hits at the edge of the box.
- Yeah! Yeah!
One goal.
Wrexham!
He'’s back!
You know what I said about getting revenge?
- Yeah, yeah. - I think-- I think we are.
The weak swinging corner from Elliot Lee.
Handled well by Tommy Lee.
Cannon feeds it back to Elliot Lee, the taker.
- Yeah! - Yeah!
Whoo-hoo! The Mullin hat trick!
Hat trick!
Wow.
That'’s why he's the greatest footballer in the world.
Whoo!
♪ Super Paul Mullin! ♪
♪ I just don'’t think you understand.♪
Wrexham!
That'’s it. Wow.
Well, that was a real case of noble service being resumed.
4-nil for Wrexham.
A brilliant performance.
A hat trick from Mullin.
And that was terrific.
We finally take all three points,
lifting ourselves out of the playoff spots.
Goddamn.
- That'’s gotta feel good, huh? - Yeah.
- Oh, that'’s gotta feel good. - Big win. They played very well.
Go have your beer. I'’ll come talk to you afterwards.
Everybody had a great game.
That'’s incredible
when that all comes together like that.
I did. I said 4-nil, didn'’t I?
It'’ll be 4-nil? Fuck these guys.
We put up the fourth wall--
The Four Walls fourth wall.
I think one of the key factors
of the end of the losing streak has been the return home and our fans,
who support us through thick and thin away from home.
But at home, definitely are our 12th man.
The new temporary Kop stand adds 2,500 supporters,
and their voices make a huge difference.
But probably more importantly was Paul'’s goal.
Because strikers in particular thrive on confidence,
and confidence comes from scoring goals.
I wanna score '’cause I wanna win.
I say many times, I don'’t care who scores the goals if we can win the games.
And that'’s what I aim to do.
Every team goes through spells like that.
Thankfully, today we'’ve managed to score quite a few, and I enjoyed that.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
And so, yeah, you can'’t ask for a much better way
to kind of break a little bit of a hoodoo than scoring four at home.
It turns out you'’re pretty good luck,
so we might have to fly you out here for every game.
- Nice to see you. Nice to see you.
Congratulations. What a great game.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
Whether we get promoted or not,
there'’s something magical about a place that draws fans from Patagonia...
♪ Olé, Olé, Olé... ♪
...a kid from Gambia, TV star from Philly and the Royal family together.
And to be able to bring people together like that
is a pretty special thing.
