1
00:00:04,694 --> 00:00:08,353
Is this the
day that a 15-year wait ends?
2
00:00:15,946 --> 00:00:19,467
A town ready to
celebrate, ready to party.
3
00:00:25,818 --> 00:00:27,958
Final seconds at the Racecourse.
4
00:00:28,959 --> 00:00:30,582
All eyes on the referee.
5
00:00:38,107 --> 00:00:41,247
Champions!
Wrexham are promoted!
6
00:00:50,774 --> 00:00:54,122
Two years of hard work, all
put into one, and it was magnificent.
7
00:00:54,123 --> 00:00:55,985
Just to see the emotions
on everyone'’s faces...
8
00:00:55,986 --> 00:00:58,298
It was something that
I'’ll always remember.
9
00:00:58,299 --> 00:01:00,990
They
have their storybook ending.
10
00:01:00,991 --> 00:01:03,752
Their Football
League exile is over.
11
00:01:03,753 --> 00:01:05,858
Fifteen long years.
12
00:01:07,101 --> 00:01:09,034
Are the boys back
here? Fucking hell.
13
00:01:16,973 --> 00:01:20,424
The magnitude of
getting the club back into the league,
14
00:01:20,425 --> 00:01:22,598
um, yeah, is so important,
15
00:01:22,599 --> 00:01:26,119
because, you know, I really don'’t
think we'’re gonna be looking back
16
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,845
at the National League again.
17
00:01:40,721 --> 00:01:44,172
Dad cried when we got...
When we won the cup.
18
00:01:45,933 --> 00:01:47,210
Don'’t tell them.
19
00:01:48,625 --> 00:01:50,523
Yeah, I did. I did, didn'’t I?
20
00:01:50,524 --> 00:01:52,939
It was quite an
emotional day, it all sinking in,
21
00:01:52,940 --> 00:01:54,941
and my son telling
me how proud he was.
22
00:01:54,942 --> 00:01:57,771
He went and stood in front of
his whole school at six years old
23
00:01:57,772 --> 00:02:01,430
and told everyone that his daddy
won the National League title.
24
00:02:01,431 --> 00:02:03,294
And that really sank in.
25
00:02:03,295 --> 00:02:05,124
That'’s what I do it for.
26
00:02:23,867 --> 00:02:26,041
- Now we gotta go into League Two.
- Yep!
27
00:02:27,699 --> 00:02:30,045
- Love you, buddy.
- Love you.
28
00:02:41,402 --> 00:02:43,852
They promised us a big deal,
though, at the end of the season.
29
00:02:43,853 --> 00:02:46,372
They promised us a monster
one at the end of the season.
30
00:02:46,373 --> 00:02:49,376
If we get promoted, they'’re
gonna take us away somewhere.
31
00:02:51,792 --> 00:02:54,690
Welcome, United passengers.
Happy to have you aboard.
32
00:02:54,691 --> 00:02:57,038
So sit back, relax
and enjoy the flight.
33
00:03:00,904 --> 00:03:03,665
The way that Rob
McElhenney and Ryan put it on for us was
34
00:03:03,666 --> 00:03:05,425
just like nothing
I'’ve ever seen.
35
00:03:08,049 --> 00:03:10,016
We went to
Hakkasan nightclub, right?
36
00:03:10,017 --> 00:03:12,915
And Steve Aoki is playing that
night. Yeah, he'’s the main guy.
37
00:03:12,916 --> 00:03:16,229
And we walk in, and
the music shuts off,
38
00:03:16,230 --> 00:03:19,095
and they start playing,
like, a Wrexham song, yeah?
39
00:03:22,409 --> 00:03:24,375
And we have got
this massive, like,
40
00:03:24,376 --> 00:03:27,620
closed-off VIP area in the
middle of everything, right?
41
00:03:27,621 --> 00:03:29,760
And there'’s, like, a screen,
and it'’s showing, like,
42
00:03:29,761 --> 00:03:32,383
Paul Mullin scoring goals and stuff.
And we'’re in Hakkasan nightclub.
43
00:03:32,384 --> 00:03:34,730
- What, in Las Vegas? Paul Mullin?
- Yeah. Right.
44
00:03:34,731 --> 00:03:38,147
We just went for it. We just had,
a massive party and enjoyed ourselves.
45
00:03:38,148 --> 00:03:40,253
And to be honest, of what
we can remember from it,
46
00:03:40,254 --> 00:03:42,290
it was, really enjoyable.
47
00:03:42,291 --> 00:03:45,776
There was no
mics, no cameras, no adults.
48
00:03:45,777 --> 00:03:47,779
I mean, I was the
adult, which is wild.
49
00:03:49,125 --> 00:03:51,230
The lads are animals.
They'’re absolute animals.
50
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:53,542
They'’ve won the league, and
just wanted to let their hair down,
51
00:03:53,543 --> 00:03:55,061
and they did it, like...
52
00:03:55,062 --> 00:03:57,409
I was spannered,
absolutely spannered, right?
53
00:04:00,067 --> 00:04:01,412
This is your captain speaking.
54
00:04:01,413 --> 00:04:03,172
I hope you had a good vacation.
55
00:04:03,173 --> 00:04:06,072
We got clear skies. It'’s
supposed to be a smooth ride.
56
00:04:06,073 --> 00:04:08,213
So sit back, relax and enjoy.
57
00:04:10,940 --> 00:04:14,598
Right. S-So, the promotion,
the trip to Vegas, the hangover.
58
00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:16,324
We had to put all
of that behind us,
59
00:04:16,325 --> 00:04:18,326
because, actually, there'’s
a very small amount of time
60
00:04:18,327 --> 00:04:20,776
between the end of last season
and the start of the next one.
61
00:04:20,777 --> 00:04:22,330
Um, we'’re now in League Two.
62
00:04:22,331 --> 00:04:24,815
Above us remains League One,
63
00:04:24,816 --> 00:04:26,782
the Championship and
then the Premier League,
64
00:04:26,783 --> 00:04:28,681
which is obviously
where we aspire to be.
65
00:04:28,682 --> 00:04:32,167
But, for now, we'’re
concentrating on League Two.
66
00:04:32,168 --> 00:04:35,412
In League Two, first, second and
third will get automatic promotion,
67
00:04:35,413 --> 00:04:40,348
and then four through to seven is
playoffs with one going up from there.
68
00:04:40,349 --> 00:04:44,110
So, obviously four teams can get promoted,
as opposed to two in the National League.
69
00:04:44,111 --> 00:04:45,974
So, obviously that gives you
70
00:04:45,975 --> 00:04:49,460
a bit of a bigger window
to be able to have success.
71
00:04:49,461 --> 00:04:52,532
One of the big question marks
we have going into this season is,
72
00:04:52,533 --> 00:04:54,327
"Will Ben Foster be back?"
73
00:04:54,328 --> 00:04:56,812
I do want to ask you your
first question. You staying?
74
00:04:56,813 --> 00:04:58,331
Ooh.
75
00:04:58,332 --> 00:04:59,884
Ooh, gosh. I
don'’t know.
76
00:05:01,197 --> 00:05:02,887
Foster'’s short spell
77
00:05:02,888 --> 00:05:05,165
at Wrexham FC was
obviously a massive hit,
78
00:05:05,166 --> 00:05:07,064
just across the
world in general.
79
00:05:07,065 --> 00:05:09,791
Do I think he'’ll stay? Is
there any signs that he'’ll stay?
80
00:05:09,792 --> 00:05:11,448
Can you tell us
what'’s happening?
81
00:05:11,449 --> 00:05:13,381
Well, yeah, we'’re...
We'’re... we're talking.
82
00:05:13,382 --> 00:05:15,383
I'’m thinking, I'm thinking,
and I'’m thinking, um...
83
00:05:15,384 --> 00:05:18,558
Well, we hit Ben Foster from
every side, right? I mean...
84
00:05:18,559 --> 00:05:20,526
In the heat of the moment, um,
85
00:05:20,527 --> 00:05:23,530
after we won promotion, he
made some comment to you.
86
00:05:24,945 --> 00:05:27,187
Well, like, yes! Your lips to God'’s ears.
87
00:05:27,188 --> 00:05:28,741
What did he say?
88
00:05:28,742 --> 00:05:31,019
- He said we'’ll do it next year.
- Okay.
89
00:05:31,020 --> 00:05:32,503
And there was a
lot of text messages.
90
00:05:35,714 --> 00:05:36,852
A couple of calls.
91
00:05:36,853 --> 00:05:38,095
Hey... hey, buddy.
92
00:05:38,096 --> 00:05:40,166
It'’s, Ryan Reynolds here.
93
00:05:40,167 --> 00:05:42,996
I just wanna... Give me a ring back
when you, when you get a chance.
94
00:05:42,997 --> 00:05:44,722
Hey, Ben.
95
00:05:44,723 --> 00:05:47,276
Rob again.
Hey, call me back, man.
96
00:05:47,277 --> 00:05:50,383
Hey, Ben, it'’s... I-I
thought you might'’ve called.
97
00:05:50,384 --> 00:05:54,525
Anyway, it'’s just me
again. It'’s Ryan... Reynolds.
98
00:05:54,526 --> 00:05:56,872
Basically, sort of, like, pinned
me into a corner and, like,
99
00:05:56,873 --> 00:05:59,392
"Right, next season. What'’s
happening next season?"
100
00:05:59,393 --> 00:06:01,567
Is this Ryan and... Ryan
and Rob? So they'’ve got ya.
101
00:06:01,568 --> 00:06:04,397
Yeah, yeah. They were like, "We need
you back," basically. "We want you back."
102
00:06:04,398 --> 00:06:06,399
And I went, "Yes, mate.
Don'’t even worry about it.
103
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,297
We'’ll sort it, all right."
And he was like, "Cool.
104
00:06:08,298 --> 00:06:10,299
As long as that... that...
That'’s gospel, yeah?
105
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:12,060
Like...
your word'’s...
106
00:06:12,061 --> 00:06:13,958
You'’re a man? If
you'’re saying it, that's it."
107
00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:15,443
And I was like, "Yep, cool.
We'’re doing it. Don't worry."
108
00:06:15,444 --> 00:06:17,445
We put some effort into
creating an environment
109
00:06:17,446 --> 00:06:19,585
that he would want to
return to, and he said yes.
110
00:06:19,586 --> 00:06:22,519
When you find something that works
that well, you really want to make sure
111
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,970
that as much of that chemistry
remains in place as-as humanly possible.
112
00:06:33,185 --> 00:06:35,428
Here we are, three
weeks to the start of the season.
113
00:06:35,429 --> 00:06:37,706
Yeah. I mean,
the preseason in full swing,
114
00:06:37,707 --> 00:06:40,433
but, you know, instead of
tried and trusted preparation,
115
00:06:40,434 --> 00:06:43,126
the team are flying out to
the US on a high-profile tour.
116
00:06:45,301 --> 00:06:48,234
Yeah, it'’s a packed
schedule. It'’s four games in ten days.
117
00:06:48,235 --> 00:06:52,100
They'’ll face the likes of Premier League
giants like Man United and Chelsea.
118
00:06:52,101 --> 00:06:57,001
My guest today is a gent
who is a master promotion whisperer.
119
00:06:57,002 --> 00:06:58,278
Thanks, Rog.
120
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,142
Mighty Wrexham
are about to match up
121
00:07:00,143 --> 00:07:04,423
to Premier League giants,
Chelsea and Manchester United.
122
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:07,667
What... What for you is the
measuring stick for success?
123
00:07:07,668 --> 00:07:10,187
Just, um,
level of performance, really.
124
00:07:10,188 --> 00:07:11,671
And I'’m really looking
forward to seeing
125
00:07:11,672 --> 00:07:14,812
how we cope with that
higher level of play that,
126
00:07:14,813 --> 00:07:18,471
you know, we'’re where we need to be
i-individually and collectively as a team.
127
00:07:18,472 --> 00:07:22,130
We know the targets we-we need to
hit to be prepared for the new season.
128
00:07:22,131 --> 00:07:24,373
I mean, it'’s a really
good test, innit, for Wrexham?
129
00:07:24,374 --> 00:07:27,031
I mean, Andy, come
on. Chelsea, United.
130
00:07:27,032 --> 00:07:29,344
That is gonna be a good
barometer of where we really are.
131
00:07:34,488 --> 00:07:38,595
The Wrexham
USA Invasion, summer 2023
132
00:07:38,596 --> 00:07:42,322
in which the club will sweep
our nation from sea to shining sea.
133
00:07:42,323 --> 00:07:46,292
In 247 years of
American history,
134
00:07:46,293 --> 00:07:49,364
Wrexham might be the
very first League Two team
135
00:07:49,365 --> 00:07:52,471
to undertake a nationwide,
coast-to-coast tour
136
00:07:52,472 --> 00:07:54,818
of the United States of America.
137
00:07:54,819 --> 00:07:58,511
International
friendly here in Chester, Pennsylvania.
138
00:07:58,512 --> 00:08:01,790
Welcome to
sunny San Diego in California.
139
00:08:01,791 --> 00:08:05,656
Fans braving North
Carolina'’s grueling temperatures to try
140
00:08:05,657 --> 00:08:08,487
and get on goalkeeper
Ben Foster'’s GoPro.
141
00:08:08,488 --> 00:08:12,318
Wayne Jones, the
owner at now-famed Turf Hotel,
142
00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:16,909
walking around the stadium, mobbed
as if he was Harry bloody Styles.
143
00:08:16,910 --> 00:08:19,221
From the minute we
landed till the minute we left,
144
00:08:19,222 --> 00:08:22,190
like, we were just made
to feel like superstars.
145
00:08:22,191 --> 00:08:25,158
Come on, Wrexham!
146
00:08:25,159 --> 00:08:27,713
I never thought I'’d see little
old Wrexham playing in America
147
00:08:27,714 --> 00:08:29,542
against Man United and Chelsea
148
00:08:29,543 --> 00:08:32,683
and have thousands and thousands
of supporters cheering on us
149
00:08:32,684 --> 00:08:34,651
rather than Man
United and Chelsea.
150
00:08:36,895 --> 00:08:38,655
It'’s a pinch-me
moment, you know?
151
00:08:38,656 --> 00:08:41,071
- Wrexham, baby! Wrexham!
- Wrexham!
152
00:08:41,072 --> 00:08:43,280
We watched
Welcome to Wrexham season one
153
00:08:43,281 --> 00:08:45,558
and are big Wrexham
fans now. Yeah.
154
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,560
Yeah, never thought they
would come over here.
155
00:08:47,561 --> 00:08:50,183
So we'’re really pumped to have
a... have a chance to see them play.
156
00:08:50,184 --> 00:08:53,670
You know, I met people that had
driven from Canada and driven from Texas.
157
00:08:53,671 --> 00:08:55,568
I mean, these
are 20-hour drives.
158
00:08:55,569 --> 00:08:57,950
But, you know, to go to Kenan
Stadium in North Carolina,
159
00:08:57,951 --> 00:08:59,572
have 55,000 people there.
160
00:08:59,573 --> 00:09:02,541
And I genuinely believe
that probably of those 55,000,
161
00:09:02,542 --> 00:09:05,267
35,000 were there
for Wrexham. Insane.
162
00:09:05,268 --> 00:09:08,857
To inspire that much excitement
and interest is everything
163
00:09:08,858 --> 00:09:11,018
we-we might'’ve dreamt of
at the start of this process.
164
00:09:17,246 --> 00:09:22,250
What wasn'’t as fun was watching
the divide... to see very clearly
165
00:09:22,251 --> 00:09:25,115
the divide between where we'’re
at and where we would like to be.
166
00:09:25,116 --> 00:09:27,082
Here'’s
an opportunity for Jackson.
167
00:09:27,083 --> 00:09:28,808
Nice footwork. Good lay off too.
168
00:09:28,809 --> 00:09:29,914
Perfect start.
169
00:09:31,294 --> 00:09:34,987
And Chelsea have doubled
their lead not long before halftime.
170
00:09:34,988 --> 00:09:37,230
As we said, Wrexham
were looking a little tired.
171
00:09:37,231 --> 00:09:38,854
Chelsea have
punished them again.
172
00:09:40,441 --> 00:09:41,925
When we played Chelsea,
173
00:09:41,926 --> 00:09:43,512
that was a pretty stark
reminder of the difference.
174
00:09:43,513 --> 00:09:46,136
I believe we lost 27-0?
175
00:09:46,137 --> 00:09:49,346
- Twenty-eight, zero, I believe.
- Yeah. We got smacked around a little bit.
176
00:09:49,347 --> 00:09:51,590
Yeah, they gave us 90
minutes of "shut the fuck up."
177
00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:53,453
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah.
178
00:09:53,454 --> 00:09:56,456
It is an
international friendly tonight
179
00:09:56,457 --> 00:09:59,219
between LA Galaxy II
and Wrexham A.F.C.
180
00:10:00,496 --> 00:10:04,637
Wrexham are in their blacks
with the red and white trim.
181
00:10:04,638 --> 00:10:08,123
One of the advantages of being
promoted to League Two is that we can wear
182
00:10:08,124 --> 00:10:11,851
our very smart new black kits, which
you may remember Rob was a big fan of.
183
00:10:11,852 --> 00:10:14,267
Couldn'’t do that in the National
League due to kit restrictions.
184
00:10:14,268 --> 00:10:16,856
But now the bosses are happy.
185
00:10:16,857 --> 00:10:18,789
I just love the black kit.
186
00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:21,378
We felt like it was something
that people would be proud to wear.
187
00:10:21,379 --> 00:10:24,864
So to see those, um, out on
the pitch, it'’s been awesome.
188
00:10:24,865 --> 00:10:25,969
Yeah.
189
00:10:37,844 --> 00:10:39,568
- Bit of a gamble, right?
- Yeah.
190
00:10:39,569 --> 00:10:41,294
If we didn'’t get out of
the National League,
191
00:10:41,295 --> 00:10:43,015
we would have to throw
those into the trash.
192
00:10:44,505 --> 00:10:46,403
Welcome
to the much-heralded meeting
193
00:10:46,404 --> 00:10:49,578
of Manchester
United and Wrexham.
194
00:10:49,579 --> 00:10:52,478
Man United
have a following that is legion.
195
00:10:52,479 --> 00:10:55,032
If I were to equate any
kind of comparison to them,
196
00:10:55,033 --> 00:10:58,829
in terms... in US terms, I would
say that they'’re the Yankees maybe?
197
00:11:01,868 --> 00:11:06,216
Get the fuck in! Get
your fucking bagpipes out.
198
00:11:06,217 --> 00:11:07,700
Fucking hell!
199
00:11:10,083 --> 00:11:11,808
Yankees times ten.
200
00:11:11,809 --> 00:11:13,533
They are a global force.
201
00:11:13,534 --> 00:11:16,434
So for us to play them is
a... is a great honor for them.
202
00:11:18,712 --> 00:11:20,851
A group
of gnarled veterans against
203
00:11:20,852 --> 00:11:24,753
a bunch of Manchester United'’s
best up-and-coming prospects.
204
00:11:25,788 --> 00:11:27,686
Wrexham in the red.
205
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:30,343
Manchester United
are wearing green.
206
00:11:30,344 --> 00:11:32,552
So this will
be competitive, this first half.
207
00:11:32,553 --> 00:11:33,622
That'’s for sure.
208
00:11:35,073 --> 00:11:37,419
Here'’s Ollie Palmer.
209
00:11:37,420 --> 00:11:39,387
This is what they do.
Worked so well, the front two for Wrexham.
210
00:11:39,388 --> 00:11:41,941
Just couldn'’t quite find
the right pass at the end of it.
211
00:11:41,942 --> 00:11:44,255
Well
played, boys! Well done!
212
00:11:46,913 --> 00:11:48,879
Off goes Paul Mullin.
213
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,295
And Mullin got there
just ahead of Bishop.
214
00:11:51,296 --> 00:11:52,677
Hey!
215
00:11:54,334 --> 00:11:57,716
And the referee
has gone to his pocket for a yellow card.
216
00:11:57,717 --> 00:12:01,961
Concern for Mullin as we see
once again precisely how it unfolded.
217
00:12:01,962 --> 00:12:04,653
Mullin is
quicker than Jonny Evans.
218
00:12:04,654 --> 00:12:07,312
And there'’s the challenge,
and it'’s not a good one.
219
00:12:31,095 --> 00:12:33,335
What you feeling, Mulls?
220
00:12:34,546 --> 00:12:36,168
Yeah,
we'’ve got, like, that one.
221
00:12:36,169 --> 00:12:38,209
- I can'’t. No.
- Here we are.
222
00:12:39,103 --> 00:12:40,586
Just relax.
223
00:12:40,587 --> 00:12:43,071
Good, yeah. Okay.
224
00:12:43,072 --> 00:12:45,833
We get
oxygen and a SATS, please.
225
00:12:45,834 --> 00:12:49,181
Collision into his left side of
ribs. He'’s really struggling with it.
226
00:12:49,182 --> 00:12:51,148
An oxygen
mask has been brought out.
227
00:12:52,426 --> 00:12:53,772
He can'’t breathe.
228
00:12:53,773 --> 00:12:55,256
Try and get some oxygen in.
229
00:12:55,257 --> 00:12:57,258
Try and take some deep
breaths in and out for me.
230
00:12:57,259 --> 00:12:59,779
Guys, give us some space, all
right? You'’re getting in the way.
231
00:13:01,159 --> 00:13:03,436
Can we get
that oxygen on, please?
232
00:13:03,437 --> 00:13:06,267
Had that been a Premier
League game or any competitive game,
233
00:13:06,268 --> 00:13:08,303
I think that'’s a sending off.
234
00:13:08,304 --> 00:13:10,202
Just lay back. Relax.
235
00:13:10,203 --> 00:13:11,928
- Keep that oxygen up.
- Take a breath.
236
00:13:14,310 --> 00:13:15,794
Okay.
237
00:13:15,795 --> 00:13:18,866
Yeah. - It hurt...
238
00:13:18,867 --> 00:13:21,282
Can we get that
oxygen back on, please?
239
00:13:21,283 --> 00:13:23,215
Um.
240
00:13:23,216 --> 00:13:24,837
Get '’em going.
241
00:13:24,838 --> 00:13:27,219
And take
him to get... -
242
00:13:27,220 --> 00:13:29,290
You just need to check the
lungs, yeah? Especially when you'’re having
243
00:13:29,291 --> 00:13:31,188
difficulty breathing, '’cause
your oxygen level'’s a bit...
244
00:13:31,189 --> 00:13:32,880
We have to take you
to the hospital, Mulls.
245
00:13:32,881 --> 00:13:34,674
Just to get a chest
X-ray. All right?
246
00:13:34,675 --> 00:13:37,367
- Okay.
- Do you want to go in the car?
247
00:13:37,368 --> 00:13:38,438
Sure.
248
00:13:39,577 --> 00:13:41,578
You know,
we-we really don'’t know.
249
00:13:41,579 --> 00:13:45,133
So, probably be tomorrow morning
when we get a specialist to look at it.
250
00:13:45,134 --> 00:13:47,170
I'’m fuming. I'’ve gotta
be honest with you.
251
00:13:47,171 --> 00:13:51,864
I thought it was, like, a clumsy,
reckless challenge, preseason game.
252
00:13:51,865 --> 00:13:54,591
Um. Yeah. Can'’t
say any more on it.
253
00:13:54,592 --> 00:13:56,317
I'’m-I'm not
happy with it at all.
254
00:14:07,122 --> 00:14:09,019
For several long minutes,
255
00:14:09,020 --> 00:14:13,368
34,000 people held
their breath and waited.
256
00:14:13,369 --> 00:14:18,166
Paul Mullin suffered a punctured
lung and-and four fractured ribs
257
00:14:18,167 --> 00:14:21,169
during those excruciating
moments on the pitch.
258
00:14:30,214 --> 00:14:31,422
"I could be in trouble here."
259
00:14:36,392 --> 00:14:37,772
No, no. But...
260
00:14:37,773 --> 00:14:39,532
- It was a nasty collision.
- Yeah.
261
00:14:39,533 --> 00:14:41,362
I could see that there
was a bit of panic in his face.
262
00:14:41,363 --> 00:14:43,571
I looked at him on the floor,
263
00:14:43,572 --> 00:14:47,023
his lips were going blue,
and he was like...
264
00:14:47,024 --> 00:14:49,922
I thought he was winded,
'’cause I've seen people lose their breath.
265
00:14:49,923 --> 00:14:51,959
I looked at his face, and
his lips were bright blue.
266
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,582
I was like, "Something'’s not
right." So I started shouting for Kev.
267
00:14:54,583 --> 00:14:57,792
Second
on. Second on, please.
268
00:14:57,793 --> 00:15:00,036
- Help me up.
- No, no. Stay where you are.
269
00:15:01,624 --> 00:15:03,763
You'’re not
gonna walk. Sit... Paul.
270
00:15:03,764 --> 00:15:06,283
We'’re gonna sit you
in the buggy, all right?
271
00:15:06,284 --> 00:15:09,321
We'’re just gonna sit you in the
buggy, '’cause we wanna keep... Paul.
272
00:15:09,322 --> 00:15:11,722
You'’ll be sitting on the buggy.
We'’ll take you off. Please.
273
00:15:23,370 --> 00:15:25,993
Paul, Paul. Can you
just put the fucking oxygen on, please?
274
00:15:25,994 --> 00:15:27,857
Hurry up... Paul.
275
00:15:34,140 --> 00:15:36,762
I actually thought it
was his shoulder to start with,
276
00:15:36,763 --> 00:15:40,628
which are notoriously
difficult injuries to manage.
277
00:15:40,629 --> 00:15:42,975
So it might sound harsh,
278
00:15:42,976 --> 00:15:47,428
but actually to find out it was only
a punctured lung and broken ribs,
279
00:15:47,429 --> 00:15:50,258
which have got a
quicker recovery time,
280
00:15:50,259 --> 00:15:54,607
and less inherent longer-term
problems than shoulder injuries.
281
00:15:54,608 --> 00:15:56,195
There was that sense of relief.
282
00:15:56,196 --> 00:16:00,682
But then, of course, comes
the real consequences of...
283
00:16:00,683 --> 00:16:02,720
That means he
can'’t fly for a fortnight.
284
00:16:03,410 --> 00:16:05,446
We'’re leaving San Diego.
285
00:16:05,447 --> 00:16:08,483
You know, nobody'’s gonna
postpone the start of the league season.
286
00:16:08,484 --> 00:16:11,176
Preparations for the next
campaign had to continue.
287
00:16:11,177 --> 00:16:14,041
So, we'’ve got Paul's
well-being to take care of,
288
00:16:14,042 --> 00:16:16,526
but we'’ve also got to start to
deliver on the club'’s ambitions
289
00:16:16,527 --> 00:16:17,607
of trying to get promotion.
290
00:16:19,426 --> 00:16:20,496
Yeah.
291
00:16:22,188 --> 00:16:25,914
Yeah. Can you just,
like, speak about how you feel right now?
292
00:16:25,915 --> 00:16:27,400
Like, not being
able to be there?
293
00:16:28,608 --> 00:16:30,989
It'’s the first thing I
asked when I got injured.
294
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:34,475
They were telling me, like, the recovery
time sometimes isn'’t that long and stuff
295
00:16:34,476 --> 00:16:36,511
till you'’re back playing. I
said, "Couldn'’t care less.
296
00:16:36,512 --> 00:16:39,549
When can a fly home? Like, I just
want to go home and see my kid."
297
00:16:39,550 --> 00:16:42,586
Like, it got to the point where the... it
was the excitement building with me
298
00:16:42,587 --> 00:16:45,141
'’cause I knew it was only two
or three days from going home.
299
00:16:45,142 --> 00:16:48,558
And when he told me I couldn'’t
fly, obviously... Actually filled up.
300
00:16:48,559 --> 00:16:51,492
Sat there, like, I didn'’t
know what to think.
301
00:16:51,493 --> 00:16:54,046
So how are you
right now? How are...
302
00:16:54,047 --> 00:16:57,222
Feeling better. The... The first couple
of days were really rough, to be fair.
303
00:16:57,223 --> 00:17:00,915
Away from the family. I'’m looking forward
to getting back and seeing my little boy.
304
00:17:00,916 --> 00:17:03,745
He doesn'’t quite understand why
his dad hasn'’t been there for so long,
305
00:17:03,746 --> 00:17:05,747
but his mum, Mollie'’s,
done an unbelievable job
306
00:17:05,748 --> 00:17:07,992
and I'’m looking forward to
getting back and seeing them.
307
00:17:25,941 --> 00:17:31,256
Is it true that Rob McElhenney
invited you to stay with him
308
00:17:31,257 --> 00:17:33,741
while you'’re here in Southern
California and you said,
309
00:17:33,742 --> 00:17:35,777
- "No. I do not wanna stay"?
- Absolutely true, yeah.
310
00:17:35,778 --> 00:17:40,265
Both my two friends from Liverpool
were here watching me for the tour,
311
00:17:40,266 --> 00:17:43,095
and they, um, both decided
that they'’d like to stay with me
312
00:17:43,096 --> 00:17:45,961
just to keep me company and
give me some home comfort.
313
00:17:47,756 --> 00:17:49,275
I'’m just about to say...
314
00:17:58,939 --> 00:18:00,492
You... Rob was so kind.
315
00:18:00,493 --> 00:18:03,115
He offered his own
home for Paul to stay in.
316
00:18:03,116 --> 00:18:06,014
Um, I felt a little like, "I'’m gonna
have to compete with that somehow."
317
00:18:06,015 --> 00:18:08,569
So I-I offered, Paul my lungs.
318
00:18:08,570 --> 00:18:13,470
I just said, "You can have my lungs.
And you'’ll be playing before you know it."
319
00:18:13,471 --> 00:18:15,127
- You'’ve got robust lungs, I'’m sure.
- Yeah.
320
00:18:15,128 --> 00:18:17,025
- Not the lungs of a 26-year-old, though.
- No.
321
00:18:17,026 --> 00:18:19,626
- I was like, "He could have one."
- Yeah. Yeah, that'’s a good...
322
00:18:25,449 --> 00:18:28,106
Wrexham have already
been named by bookmakers
323
00:18:28,107 --> 00:18:31,281
as 4-1 favorites
to win League Two.
324
00:18:31,282 --> 00:18:33,456
Forty-six games lie ahead there.
325
00:18:33,457 --> 00:18:37,356
You know well, you really do,
that the level of play is gonna go up.
326
00:18:37,357 --> 00:18:39,496
And as good as this
Wrexham squad is,
327
00:18:39,497 --> 00:18:42,982
I mean, you... you have experience
after experience that tells you
328
00:18:42,983 --> 00:18:46,503
it'’s not always gonna
be sunny in North Wales.
329
00:18:46,504 --> 00:18:49,300
Yeah. The lads know that this
division is gonna be tougher.
330
00:18:50,370 --> 00:18:52,164
The top teams in
the National League
331
00:18:52,165 --> 00:18:54,684
would hold their
own in League Two.
332
00:18:54,685 --> 00:18:58,895
But all the games in League
Two are gonna be of the standard
333
00:18:58,896 --> 00:19:01,173
of when we play
Chesterfield and Notts County.
334
00:19:01,174 --> 00:19:03,175
Every game is gonna be tight,
335
00:19:03,176 --> 00:19:06,040
and we'’ve gotta get the
detail right in our performance.
336
00:19:06,041 --> 00:19:09,354
We'’re working towards that. And, you
know, everyone'’s saying we'’re favorites.
337
00:19:09,355 --> 00:19:11,701
And great, we'’ll
take that pressure.
338
00:19:11,702 --> 00:19:15,014
But equally, you know, we'’ve got to make
sure that we put the processes in place
339
00:19:15,015 --> 00:19:16,706
to justify that favorites tag.
340
00:19:16,707 --> 00:19:18,846
Come on. What
you got? Brilliant.
341
00:19:18,847 --> 00:19:22,160
- That'’s quite a good kick to do.
- My fucking God.
342
00:19:22,161 --> 00:19:25,163
That is off a different
fucking planet.
343
00:19:25,164 --> 00:19:29,408
There is a higher caliber of
player and team in League Two.
344
00:19:29,409 --> 00:19:33,101
Teams here have deeper
benches, they have better squads.
345
00:19:33,102 --> 00:19:35,207
Um, but we'’re pretty
proud of the squad we have,
346
00:19:35,208 --> 00:19:38,659
and we think that adding to that,
will get us to where we need to be.
347
00:19:38,660 --> 00:19:40,592
And the fans of Wrexham,
I think, know that...
348
00:19:40,593 --> 00:19:44,734
That one or two quality additions
should see us compete this year.
349
00:19:44,735 --> 00:19:47,012
Yeah. Why
can'’t we have a top three?
350
00:19:47,013 --> 00:19:49,704
We'’ve certainly got the squad and
Phil'’s built a squad for League One.
351
00:19:49,705 --> 00:19:51,844
That was the talk
around everything,
352
00:19:51,845 --> 00:19:55,054
that they want to try and build a team
capable of competing in League One.
353
00:19:55,055 --> 00:19:58,092
Um. And obviously we'’re in League
Two. So, you know, we want to be...
354
00:19:58,093 --> 00:19:59,784
We want to be right up there.
355
00:20:04,272 --> 00:20:06,342
Welcome
back to the Football League.
356
00:20:06,343 --> 00:20:08,447
Fifteen years, we
have waited for this.
357
00:20:08,448 --> 00:20:13,038
Champions of the National League. Can
they be the champions of League Two?
358
00:20:13,039 --> 00:20:15,730
Here we go. Walking in.
359
00:20:15,731 --> 00:20:19,735
Walking around the corner and the
point where you see, for the first time...
360
00:20:21,944 --> 00:20:24,705
massive floodlights...
361
00:20:24,706 --> 00:20:27,742
of the town. It'’s
gonna be a great day.
362
00:20:27,743 --> 00:20:29,124
Come on, Wrexham.
363
00:20:29,918 --> 00:20:31,781
Finally, after all this time.
364
00:20:31,782 --> 00:20:35,923
- Here we are.
- Fifteen years out of the league.
365
00:20:35,924 --> 00:20:38,305
I can'’t explain how
big it is for the town.
366
00:20:38,306 --> 00:20:40,928
Just to be back
where we rightly belong.
367
00:20:40,929 --> 00:20:43,068
Sort of the start of
a new journey, right?
368
00:20:43,069 --> 00:20:46,002
'’Cause I think we can surpass
where we'’ve been in previous years,
369
00:20:46,003 --> 00:20:48,280
and actually reach new heights.
370
00:20:48,281 --> 00:20:52,388
Not great, losing our
star player, Super Paul Mullin.
371
00:20:52,389 --> 00:20:54,907
Um, we thought... Well,
we'’ve got a very strong squad.
372
00:20:54,908 --> 00:20:58,601
Phil feels confident. We feel
confident that even without Paul,
373
00:20:58,602 --> 00:21:00,741
that this is a team
that'’s been together
374
00:21:00,742 --> 00:21:03,088
and is gonna put on
a pretty good fight.
375
00:21:03,089 --> 00:21:05,263
You know, League Two,
I do fancy Wrexham to go straight through.
376
00:21:05,264 --> 00:21:08,300
I think even with the squad
now, it'’s a top-three squad already
377
00:21:08,301 --> 00:21:12,442
because there'’s very few players who
weren'’t either in League One or Two.
378
00:21:12,443 --> 00:21:14,479
So these guys have
been there, seen it, done it.
379
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,791
They'’ve got the
quality to win promotion.
380
00:21:16,792 --> 00:21:19,104
So I don'’t see any reason why
they honestly can'’t do it again,
381
00:21:19,105 --> 00:21:21,589
because it'’s
such a strong unit.
382
00:21:21,590 --> 00:21:23,315
Team'’s good enough.
Team'’s good enough.
383
00:21:23,316 --> 00:21:24,696
Parky knows that.
384
00:21:24,697 --> 00:21:26,214
Ryan and Rob know that.
385
00:21:26,215 --> 00:21:27,319
Fans know that.
386
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,803
So, yeah.
387
00:21:28,804 --> 00:21:31,634
Yeah, playoffs, at the least.
388
00:21:31,635 --> 00:21:33,049
For promotion.
389
00:21:39,436 --> 00:21:41,506
Pressure is a
privilege. Wrexham are very privileged.
390
00:21:41,507 --> 00:21:43,715
Hi, documentary!
391
00:21:43,716 --> 00:21:46,165
And what a bloody
good way to start the new season.
392
00:21:46,166 --> 00:21:47,960
MK Dons at home. That is...
393
00:21:47,961 --> 00:21:49,998
That'’s as big as it gets,
really, for League Two.
394
00:21:51,551 --> 00:21:54,346
But it'’s a good start, you know. It'’s a
good League One team coming down,
395
00:21:54,347 --> 00:21:56,866
and, obviously, like you
just said, we'’re coming up.
396
00:21:56,867 --> 00:22:00,870
So it'’s a clash of... It'’s a cla... It's
a clash of the leagues effectively. Um.
397
00:22:00,871 --> 00:22:04,563
I believe Wrexham are big favorites.
We'’re at home in front of a sellout crowd.
398
00:22:04,564 --> 00:22:08,740
Um, and you'’d have to back us because
we haven'’t lost at home in two years.
399
00:22:08,741 --> 00:22:11,156
What'’s the,
prediction for today then?
400
00:22:11,157 --> 00:22:13,020
- 2-1.
- 2-1. Alex?
401
00:22:13,021 --> 00:22:15,402
- 3-2, Wrexham.
- 3-2, Wrexham.
402
00:22:15,403 --> 00:22:19,130
- Cooke, you'’re back. We back. 3-1!
- Cooke! Cookie! 4-1!
403
00:22:21,374 --> 00:22:23,927
Here we are again,
beginning of another season.
404
00:22:23,928 --> 00:22:25,653
You and me...
405
00:22:25,654 --> 00:22:27,552
- doing this one more time.
- Let'’s go.
406
00:22:27,553 --> 00:22:30,831
Hopefully, a hundred more
times, but, like, what a special thing.
407
00:22:30,832 --> 00:22:34,938
Like, let'’s not let that pass without
marking the moment of like, "Holy shit.
408
00:22:34,939 --> 00:22:38,286
We'’re standing at a... in the
English Football League now."
409
00:22:38,287 --> 00:22:40,565
We'’re in the English
fucking Football League now.
410
00:22:40,566 --> 00:22:42,326
We'’re back. We're back.
411
00:22:49,540 --> 00:22:51,058
I'’m just excited to be back.
412
00:22:51,059 --> 00:22:53,716
It'’s just emotional to
be back in this place.
413
00:22:53,717 --> 00:22:55,614
New season in
the football league.
414
00:22:55,615 --> 00:22:58,376
This crowd is pumping, like,
415
00:22:58,377 --> 00:23:01,033
I haven'’t seen it like this since
Notts County played here last.
416
00:23:05,591 --> 00:23:10,595
So, the empyrean heights of hope
are that we finish the league number one.
417
00:23:10,596 --> 00:23:12,873
Automatic promotion.
418
00:23:12,874 --> 00:23:16,394
Um, and then, realistically, I'’m hoping
that we finish the league number one
419
00:23:16,395 --> 00:23:17,981
with an automatic promotion.
420
00:23:24,023 --> 00:23:26,783
We'’re gonna watch the... the game from
down there, from where you guys were.
421
00:23:26,784 --> 00:23:28,440
- It'’s so good down there.
- It'’s cool, right?
422
00:23:28,441 --> 00:23:30,131
Wear... Wear something warm.
423
00:23:30,132 --> 00:23:32,099
- It'’s cold and it's raining a little.
- Yeah.
424
00:23:33,964 --> 00:23:35,827
- Welcome to our quiet zone.
- Thank you.
425
00:23:35,828 --> 00:23:37,276
Come and enjoy. Hi, welcome.
426
00:23:37,277 --> 00:23:38,761
There'’s so many people
427
00:23:38,762 --> 00:23:40,659
who want to be a
part of the experience,
428
00:23:40,660 --> 00:23:43,490
but for sensory issues, for
a-a host of different reasons,
429
00:23:43,491 --> 00:23:46,147
feel more comfortable,
um, in environments
430
00:23:46,148 --> 00:23:48,460
where it'’s not as
chaotic, it'’s not as loud.
431
00:23:48,461 --> 00:23:52,844
So with my son, Axel, we went
down to watch in-in the quiet zone
432
00:23:52,845 --> 00:23:55,433
to show our support,
and it was lovely.
433
00:23:55,434 --> 00:23:58,677
Let'’s start finishing off,
boys. Just have a quick chat before we go.
434
00:23:58,678 --> 00:24:00,610
Come on out. Okay.
435
00:24:00,611 --> 00:24:03,337
What we'’re looking for today
is a progression from preseason.
436
00:24:03,338 --> 00:24:07,030
A progression in terms of
our performance level. Okay?
437
00:24:07,031 --> 00:24:09,516
So the key boxes
we wanna tick today
438
00:24:09,517 --> 00:24:12,933
is play with energy,
intensity and physicality.
439
00:24:12,934 --> 00:24:15,211
Anyone who comes here
is under fucking pressure
440
00:24:15,212 --> 00:24:18,317
from the first minute to
the fucking last. Let'’s go.
441
00:24:18,318 --> 00:24:19,629
Come on, boys!
442
00:24:19,630 --> 00:24:21,769
Come on.
Let'’s fucking go.
443
00:24:21,770 --> 00:24:24,462
Come on, boys. Get out of here.
Whatever happens, that'’s what we do.
444
00:24:24,463 --> 00:24:26,533
Fucking energy, boys.
445
00:24:32,885 --> 00:24:34,989
Wrexham!
446
00:24:34,990 --> 00:24:38,993
Good afternoon, and
welcome back to the SToK Cae Ras...
447
00:24:38,994 --> 00:24:41,064
Come on, Wrexham!
448
00:24:41,065 --> 00:24:45,862
For today'’s EFL Sky
Bet League Two feature
449
00:24:45,863 --> 00:24:48,347
between Wrexham and MK Dons.
450
00:24:48,348 --> 00:24:50,798
How good does it
feel hearing that?
451
00:24:50,799 --> 00:24:53,180
Wrexham back in
the football league,
452
00:24:53,181 --> 00:24:56,494
and we'’ll be hoping to be
back with a bang this afternoon
453
00:24:56,495 --> 00:25:00,739
against MK Dons, who were relegated
last season from Sky Bet League One.
454
00:25:00,740 --> 00:25:03,846
Fifteen years of pain
and suffering are over...
455
00:25:03,847 --> 00:25:06,814
It'’s, It's two
weeks from the injury.
456
00:25:06,815 --> 00:25:09,507
Will be Tuesday when
I can finally fly home.
457
00:25:09,508 --> 00:25:12,268
Obviously, I'’d love nothing
more to be there now playing,
458
00:25:12,269 --> 00:25:15,271
then after that, I'’d love nothing more
to be at home with my... with my son.
459
00:25:15,272 --> 00:25:17,549
But I think we'’ve got it in us.
460
00:25:17,550 --> 00:25:19,931
MK Dons
to get the game on the way.
461
00:25:19,932 --> 00:25:22,450
Let'’s
go, boys! Come on!
462
00:25:22,451 --> 00:25:25,627
Tozer.
Back to Foster, who plays.
463
00:25:27,215 --> 00:25:28,768
Mendy rises. A free kick.
464
00:25:36,224 --> 00:25:37,914
Take your hand off me.
465
00:25:37,915 --> 00:25:39,606
Could you not see that'’s
our ball? Answer the question.
466
00:25:39,607 --> 00:25:42,298
Hey! Answer the question!
467
00:25:42,299 --> 00:25:45,302
A free kick for MK
Dons in the opening minutes of the game.
468
00:25:50,583 --> 00:25:53,481
Robson swings the ball into the
area... It'’s a good ball. O'Connell.
469
00:25:56,071 --> 00:25:57,141
No.
470
00:25:58,591 --> 00:26:00,454
Fuck'’s sake, man.
471
00:26:00,455 --> 00:26:03,320
and MK Dons
take the lead at SToK Cae Ras.
472
00:26:03,976 --> 00:26:05,494
Inside six minutes.
473
00:26:06,979 --> 00:26:09,809
Own goal.
Put it in his own goal.
474
00:26:10,983 --> 00:26:14,399
Eoghan O'’Connell.
It'’s an inauspicious start.
475
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,922
Not the start that
anyone would have hoped for here.
476
00:26:20,268 --> 00:26:23,097
And work to do for Wrexham here.
477
00:26:23,098 --> 00:26:27,826
And the Wrexham fans are
looking to get behind their team here.
478
00:26:27,827 --> 00:26:29,518
Leko takes it down and across.
479
00:26:30,761 --> 00:26:32,279
Into Eisa. Can he get the shot?
480
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,074
He cuts back to his right,
gets through the middle,
481
00:26:34,075 --> 00:26:35,800
and it'’s 2-nil to MK Dons.
482
00:26:40,529 --> 00:26:44,672
Absolutely walking
through us. Awful.
483
00:26:45,811 --> 00:26:47,535
Have you ever played before?
484
00:26:47,536 --> 00:26:51,022
Mo Eisa
danced back onto his right foot
485
00:26:51,023 --> 00:26:53,645
There was a sea of
red shirts in front of him.
486
00:26:53,646 --> 00:26:55,061
No one got near him.
487
00:26:55,890 --> 00:26:58,374
And Wrexham are 2-nil down.
488
00:26:58,375 --> 00:26:59,652
My God.
489
00:27:00,722 --> 00:27:03,206
And a stunned silence
490
00:27:03,207 --> 00:27:05,001
- at the SToK Cae Ras.
- Come on.
491
00:27:05,002 --> 00:27:08,178
Just relax, everybody!
Relax, everybody.
492
00:27:08,868 --> 00:27:11,145
Tommy, tell Toz to relax!
493
00:27:11,146 --> 00:27:12,802
This is
just... I don'’t know what...
494
00:27:12,803 --> 00:27:14,804
We didn'’t... We haven't
lost at home in a year.
495
00:27:14,805 --> 00:27:17,877
So, this is, you know...
It'’s unusual, but it, um...
496
00:27:18,844 --> 00:27:20,396
You know, it'’s,
nerves, I think.
497
00:27:20,397 --> 00:27:23,295
- We lost Paul Mullin.
- Yes, absolutely.
498
00:27:23,296 --> 00:27:24,676
A little bit of that.
499
00:27:24,677 --> 00:27:26,333
- He was, like, the leader, right?
- Yeah.
500
00:27:26,334 --> 00:27:27,541
It'’s saved.
501
00:27:27,542 --> 00:27:29,095
Come on. Let'’s go.
502
00:27:31,857 --> 00:27:34,893
Nothing ever
happens the easy way for Wrexham.
503
00:27:34,894 --> 00:27:38,863
Wrexham! Wrexham!
Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham!
504
00:27:43,765 --> 00:27:45,490
That ball races to Sam Dalby.
505
00:27:45,491 --> 00:27:47,078
Can he get it across
to Ryan Barnett?
506
00:27:47,079 --> 00:27:49,805
He does really well.
Barnett down the wing.
507
00:27:49,806 --> 00:27:52,048
Barnett now passing
down the right-hand side.
508
00:27:52,049 --> 00:27:55,914
Forces in the area. Can he find him? Headed
away by Smith. Jones with the strike!
509
00:27:55,915 --> 00:27:58,745
Headed away! That one was goal-bound.
510
00:27:58,746 --> 00:28:00,988
Come on! Good pressure, boys!
511
00:28:00,989 --> 00:28:03,508
Wrexham are
playing themselves back into this game.
512
00:28:03,509 --> 00:28:05,373
Robson sets Leko with a shot!
513
00:28:06,615 --> 00:28:09,514
What an unbelievable
save by Foster!
514
00:28:11,103 --> 00:28:12,414
Great save.
515
00:28:14,727 --> 00:28:17,109
And Foster
was more than a match to it.
516
00:28:24,047 --> 00:28:27,290
Back to Barnett.
Driven to Barnett with a one-two.
517
00:28:27,291 --> 00:28:30,121
Barnett crosses
well. Dalby rises.
518
00:28:30,122 --> 00:28:31,640
Waters with a strike!
519
00:28:35,403 --> 00:28:37,785
Great
save. Mendy with a follow up!
520
00:28:38,786 --> 00:28:40,131
And it'’s 2-1!
521
00:28:42,755 --> 00:28:44,688
Get in there!
522
00:28:46,345 --> 00:28:49,243
Jacob Mendy
pulls one back for Wrexham.
523
00:28:49,244 --> 00:28:52,039
Come on. Back again! Yes!
524
00:28:53,455 --> 00:28:55,663
Incredible strike by Waters
525
00:28:55,664 --> 00:28:58,149
falls into the path of
Mendy on the follow up.
526
00:28:58,150 --> 00:28:59,461
Game on now.
527
00:29:08,436 --> 00:29:09,470
Here we go!
528
00:29:09,471 --> 00:29:10,749
Wrexham!
529
00:29:17,963 --> 00:29:21,620
Okay. So, a little bit of a
rough start, but then I thought...
530
00:29:21,621 --> 00:29:23,312
Yeah. I need...
I kind of was gonna say,
531
00:29:23,313 --> 00:29:25,072
could you please stay up
here for the second half?
532
00:29:25,073 --> 00:29:26,625
I'’m gonna stay up
here for the second half.
533
00:29:26,626 --> 00:29:29,180
- And they are huge.
- Yes.
534
00:29:29,181 --> 00:29:31,596
They are, like,
much bigger than us.
535
00:29:31,597 --> 00:29:35,427
But everybody else is feeling good,
and the whole crowd seems pretty jazzed.
536
00:29:35,428 --> 00:29:38,742
- Yeah.
- I think there'’s a lot of goals left in this game.
537
00:29:39,639 --> 00:29:41,364
It'’s a horrible feeling,
538
00:29:41,365 --> 00:29:44,851
but obviously to start the
game like that was killer, really.
539
00:29:44,852 --> 00:29:47,163
It'’s just the first 15 minutes
back, and you'’re 2-nil down,
540
00:29:47,164 --> 00:29:49,648
but they come into the game
obviously as it settled down a bit
541
00:29:49,649 --> 00:29:52,375
and created chances
and... The gaffer'’s class.
542
00:29:52,376 --> 00:29:55,620
At halftime he'’ll tell the lads exactly
where they can create chances,
543
00:29:55,621 --> 00:29:57,311
and where we can get in.
544
00:29:57,312 --> 00:30:00,142
And then it'’s up to the
lads to go out the second half
545
00:30:00,143 --> 00:30:02,385
and take action
on it, obviously.
546
00:30:02,386 --> 00:30:04,802
Last year, we usually do that. This year,
we knew it was gonna be more difficult.
547
00:30:04,803 --> 00:30:07,494
It'’s not gonna be as
simple as last year.
548
00:30:07,495 --> 00:30:10,014
Um, we'’ve gotta
work hard for it,
549
00:30:10,015 --> 00:30:13,051
but I think we can obviously
win the game from this position.
550
00:30:13,052 --> 00:30:15,779
Right, I wanna ask you a
question just right before we go out.
551
00:30:16,780 --> 00:30:20,679
Were our fucking arousal levels
552
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,029
at the right level in the first
20 minutes of that game?
553
00:30:25,685 --> 00:30:28,550
Or were you too fucking uptight
and fucking 100-mile an hour?
554
00:30:29,068 --> 00:30:30,379
Yeah?
555
00:30:30,380 --> 00:30:33,416
We just all just need
to relax and play.
556
00:30:33,417 --> 00:30:35,073
We'’re back in the game.
557
00:30:35,074 --> 00:30:38,076
These are not a great
team. I'’ll tell you that now.
558
00:30:38,077 --> 00:30:40,699
We'’ve played in bigger
games than this, by the way.
559
00:30:40,700 --> 00:30:43,012
The season doesn'’t get
defined by this fucking game.
560
00:30:43,013 --> 00:30:44,842
We fucking had to
play Notts County.
561
00:30:44,843 --> 00:30:46,602
We played Sheffield
United at home.
562
00:30:46,603 --> 00:30:49,398
Like, you'’ve got in the rhythm
in the last 15, 20 minutes
563
00:30:49,399 --> 00:30:51,607
and just fucking
start like a good team.
564
00:30:51,608 --> 00:30:54,161
Two minutes, boys. You know what
you gotta do. We'’ve done enough talking.
565
00:30:54,162 --> 00:30:56,025
Let'’s go and play
well for 45 minutes.
566
00:30:56,026 --> 00:30:58,269
- Lets show we'’re good. Come on.
- Let'’s get clean our way.
567
00:30:58,270 --> 00:31:00,237
Come on. Come on.
568
00:31:04,103 --> 00:31:06,933
Welcome back, then,
to the second half at the SToK Cae Ras.
569
00:31:06,934 --> 00:31:11,109
Wrexham will be hoping that they
could come out of the traps fast.
570
00:31:11,110 --> 00:31:13,525
Put MK Dons on the
back foot once again.
571
00:31:13,526 --> 00:31:16,528
What will the next 45
minutes take? We shall see.
572
00:31:16,529 --> 00:31:18,082
- Yeah.
- Come on, Wrexham.
573
00:31:19,808 --> 00:31:22,949
half underway.
574
00:31:22,950 --> 00:31:24,916
Good ball
to Ryan Barnett in space.
575
00:31:24,917 --> 00:31:26,469
Crossed it to the
area, headed away.
576
00:31:26,470 --> 00:31:28,195
Out to Andy Cannon.
577
00:31:28,196 --> 00:31:30,336
Strike blocked.
578
00:31:31,613 --> 00:31:35,237
Barnett again, gets across
into the area, headed away.
579
00:31:35,238 --> 00:31:37,204
A much more lively
start by Wrexham.
580
00:31:41,244 --> 00:31:44,868
Cannon. Referee'’s
played advantage, and Cannon'’s still down.
581
00:31:45,662 --> 00:31:47,490
And Leko to get the shot away.
582
00:31:47,491 --> 00:31:49,837
And it gets past Foster and goes in.
583
00:31:49,838 --> 00:31:52,324
And the
two-goal lead has been restored.
584
00:31:54,326 --> 00:31:57,466
Wow. Wow.
585
00:31:57,467 --> 00:31:59,538
For fuck'’s sake, man.
586
00:32:02,368 --> 00:32:04,715
A smart finish by Jonathan Leko.
587
00:32:11,550 --> 00:32:13,932
Ollie, Bickers, make
sure you'’re ready.
588
00:32:20,628 --> 00:32:23,078
Lucky sweater time.
589
00:32:23,079 --> 00:32:28,049
Fitting into this might change
the course of the game here.
590
00:32:31,018 --> 00:32:32,053
All right.
591
00:32:36,023 --> 00:32:38,162
It'’s getting serious.
592
00:32:38,163 --> 00:32:39,887
Ollie, Ollie, Ollie!
593
00:32:39,888 --> 00:32:43,167
Ollie Palmer, Jake Bickerstaff.
594
00:32:43,168 --> 00:32:46,825
Jordan Davies makes
his way on as well.
595
00:32:46,826 --> 00:32:47,966
Come on!
596
00:32:53,902 --> 00:32:56,595
Bickerstaff
to Jones. Elliot Lee.
597
00:32:57,492 --> 00:32:59,666
Palmer. Lee. Plays it across.
598
00:32:59,667 --> 00:33:02,669
Can'’t quite get it out of his
feet. But better by Wrexham.
599
00:33:02,670 --> 00:33:05,259
My God. Just put one in.
600
00:33:07,088 --> 00:33:08,883
Here come MK Dons again.
601
00:33:10,609 --> 00:33:12,093
And Leko'’s been
let straight through.
602
00:33:13,439 --> 00:33:14,854
Can he make it four?
603
00:33:19,721 --> 00:33:20,859
He can.
604
00:33:24,278 --> 00:33:26,072
How he'’s had that much space,
605
00:33:26,073 --> 00:33:27,453
I'’m not so sure.
606
00:33:28,213 --> 00:33:30,456
And it'’s 4-1 to MK Dons.
607
00:33:31,388 --> 00:33:34,391
Fuck off. It'’s a
fucking disgrace.
608
00:33:35,875 --> 00:33:39,085
The away
end loving every second of this.
609
00:33:45,575 --> 00:33:47,025
I don'’t like them singing that.
610
00:33:48,233 --> 00:33:49,750
Is that them singing?
611
00:33:54,066 --> 00:33:56,103
Boo!
612
00:33:57,725 --> 00:34:02,384
- This is just a good old-fashioned...
- Ass whooping?
613
00:34:02,385 --> 00:34:04,628
Pants-down spanking
in the supermarket.
614
00:34:07,838 --> 00:34:09,598
Bickerstaff to Lee.
615
00:34:09,599 --> 00:34:11,289
Lee drives towards goal.
616
00:34:11,290 --> 00:34:12,877
Jordan Davies!
617
00:34:13,982 --> 00:34:15,674
Y...
618
00:34:23,992 --> 00:34:27,617
Davies to
Bickerstaff. Takes it down well.
619
00:34:29,308 --> 00:34:31,309
Out to Lee for...
620
00:34:31,310 --> 00:34:33,278
With him on the right.
Lee might shoot, himself.
621
00:34:34,589 --> 00:34:37,247
Bryce Hosannah.
Back to Jordan Davies!
622
00:34:42,321 --> 00:34:43,942
Great goal from Davies!
623
00:34:43,943 --> 00:34:45,910
Yeah!
624
00:34:45,911 --> 00:34:47,739
Yes!
625
00:34:47,740 --> 00:34:51,710
That'’s how you fucking
do it. That'’s a laser, baby!
626
00:34:53,884 --> 00:34:55,851
Wrexham get a goal back.
627
00:34:55,852 --> 00:34:58,957
Stop celebrating, lad. Lets go
and fucking score again. Come on.
628
00:34:58,958 --> 00:35:00,580
And is there maybe,
629
00:35:00,581 --> 00:35:04,309
maybe just a chance
for Wrexham here.
630
00:35:05,517 --> 00:35:07,311
Cuts inside and shoots.
631
00:35:07,312 --> 00:35:09,416
And that one goes for a corner.
632
00:35:09,417 --> 00:35:12,661
Goes to the
back post to Davies. Across goal!
633
00:35:12,662 --> 00:35:14,007
Just wide.
634
00:35:14,008 --> 00:35:16,043
Fuck! I thought
that was fucking in.
635
00:35:16,044 --> 00:35:19,047
That'’s seven
minutes on it. Still time, then.
636
00:35:27,504 --> 00:35:28,747
And it'’s 5-2.
637
00:35:30,714 --> 00:35:32,888
Like Ben wouldn'’t even try.
638
00:35:32,889 --> 00:35:35,512
And
there'’s not much more to say.
639
00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:42,173
We knew at some point we were
going to have to reckon with the idea
640
00:35:42,174 --> 00:35:46,039
that we may have to be
careful with what we wish for.
641
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,836
Humphrey, why... why did
you tell us to go to this league?
642
00:35:49,837 --> 00:35:51,527
I like the other league better.
643
00:35:51,528 --> 00:35:53,219
We lost, like, three
times in the other one.
644
00:35:53,220 --> 00:35:55,221
- Yeah.
- Like, all year.
645
00:35:55,222 --> 00:35:57,671
I just didn'’t realize it was
gonna happen immediately...
646
00:35:57,672 --> 00:35:58,914
No.
647
00:35:58,915 --> 00:36:00,847
- In the beginning of the...
- Yeah.
648
00:36:00,848 --> 00:36:02,538
League Two campaign.
649
00:36:02,539 --> 00:36:04,714
- Let'’s go back.
- Yeah. Can we... Is that an option?
650
00:36:06,681 --> 00:36:09,096
Well, some
Wrexham fans are leaving
651
00:36:09,097 --> 00:36:11,513
in disgust, understandably.
652
00:36:11,514 --> 00:36:13,515
But we still have
more football to play.
653
00:36:13,516 --> 00:36:15,316
Plays it across to O'’Connell.
654
00:36:18,969 --> 00:36:20,212
Forde takes it down well.
655
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:26,044
- And that'’s a great goal by Anthony Forde.
- All right. Okay. Great.
656
00:36:26,045 --> 00:36:27,325
Brilliant finish.
657
00:36:29,566 --> 00:36:32,086
Don'’t underestimate
how important those are.
658
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,226
At the end of the season.
659
00:36:35,054 --> 00:36:36,400
Goal differential.
660
00:36:41,613 --> 00:36:45,098
At the
SToK Cae Ras, it is finished.
661
00:36:45,099 --> 00:36:48,688
Wrexham 3, MK Dons 5.
662
00:36:48,689 --> 00:36:51,518
A disappointing return
to the Football League for Wrexham.
663
00:36:51,519 --> 00:36:53,210
Too many goals.
664
00:36:53,211 --> 00:36:54,936
I'’d turn it off if
these weren'’t here.
665
00:37:01,391 --> 00:37:04,255
- When was the last time we lost here?
- Grimsby.
666
00:37:04,256 --> 00:37:06,706
Two years ago. Two seasons ago.
667
00:37:06,707 --> 00:37:08,502
Is that the last
time we lost here?
668
00:37:10,573 --> 00:37:11,608
Yep.
669
00:37:15,129 --> 00:37:17,579
- Man, you don'’t wanna peak too early.
- No.
670
00:37:17,580 --> 00:37:19,374
No way.
671
00:37:19,375 --> 00:37:22,239
We can'’t start games just
'’cause how we feel like it.
672
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:25,276
We gotta start on it,
fucking loose as goose.
673
00:37:25,277 --> 00:37:28,728
No fucker concentrating on
doing the things that are important,
674
00:37:28,729 --> 00:37:31,489
the basics on
fucking first half today.
675
00:37:31,490 --> 00:37:34,181
So, why? Is it the fucking
buildup to the game?
676
00:37:34,182 --> 00:37:36,943
Is it the fucking warm-up?
Is it the mentality?
677
00:37:36,944 --> 00:37:40,257
Is it the fucking lackluster...
"No, we'’re fucking Wrexham.
678
00:37:40,258 --> 00:37:43,537
We'’re a good... "What is
it that makes us start shit?
679
00:37:44,986 --> 00:37:48,714
Obviously, MK Dons played
very well on the day, but we just
680
00:37:49,957 --> 00:37:52,786
not only lacked sharpness
physically, but, mentally,
681
00:37:52,787 --> 00:37:56,480
we looked, like, really below par
in terms of our decision-making.
682
00:38:13,463 --> 00:38:15,292
It'’s a
wake-up call, yeah, I think.
683
00:38:15,293 --> 00:38:17,328
Definitely bring us
down to earth, I think.
684
00:38:17,329 --> 00:38:18,778
After all the hype
and everything,
685
00:38:18,779 --> 00:38:21,332
definitely bring us
down to earth that will.
686
00:38:21,333 --> 00:38:24,508
- Fucking shit. Get that on the triple A.
- Shit. Yes.
687
00:38:24,509 --> 00:38:26,613
Welcome to the Football League.
688
00:38:26,614 --> 00:38:29,340
We'’ve gone up a league,
and it'’s gonna be a bit...
689
00:38:29,341 --> 00:38:30,997
It'’s gonna be a
bit... a bit difficult.
690
00:38:30,998 --> 00:38:33,655
People... I think a lot of
people are getting carried away
691
00:38:33,656 --> 00:38:36,071
and thinking we were gonna,
you know, win every game 5-nil.
692
00:38:36,072 --> 00:38:37,352
Well, ain'’t gonna
happen, is it?
693
00:38:38,902 --> 00:38:42,664
It portends to be a very
harrowing, edge-of-your-seat season.
694
00:38:42,665 --> 00:38:46,737
I don'’t think you go through a League
Two with another only, you know,
695
00:38:46,738 --> 00:38:48,532
only suffering three losses.
696
00:38:48,533 --> 00:38:50,361
Well, I don'’t
know where we'’re starting,
697
00:38:50,362 --> 00:38:52,398
but it'’s probably in, like,
14th place after game one.
698
00:38:52,399 --> 00:38:54,676
- Yeah.
- Sorry. Hold on.
699
00:38:54,677 --> 00:38:59,888
Don'’t wanna be a party pooper,
but, um, we'’re actually 21st, not 14th.
700
00:38:59,889 --> 00:39:02,408
Look how fast
the crowd is out of here too.
701
00:39:02,409 --> 00:39:05,066
- It'’s amazing.
- Just vaporized.
702
00:39:05,964 --> 00:39:07,585
Sometimes you
need a day like this,
703
00:39:07,586 --> 00:39:12,521
like a reality check,
um, to reassess things.
704
00:39:12,522 --> 00:39:15,662
When you go up a level and you
make mistakes, you get punished.
705
00:39:15,663 --> 00:39:17,768
And-And that'’s what
happened to us today.
706
00:39:17,769 --> 00:39:19,771
We hard-launched failure.
707
00:39:21,220 --> 00:39:22,359
Yep. Yeah.
708
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,532
See you Tuesday, boys.
709
00:39:23,533 --> 00:39:24,776
- See you, boys.
- Thank you.
710
00:39:25,639 --> 00:39:26,709
See you, guys.
711
00:39:27,917 --> 00:39:29,780
See?
It'’s like a funeral.
712
00:39:29,781 --> 00:39:31,920
- It'’s hard. It hurts.
- A funeral, right?
713
00:39:31,921 --> 00:39:34,202
- I feel the pain.
- Yeah.
714
00:39:34,282 --> 00:39:36,282
