RYAN:
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?

[camera shutter clicks]
Well, here's why.

ALL: Wrexham!

ANNOUNCER:
Cannon's got to be solid here.

And he isn't!

Shot comes in!

[all groan]

- What the hell was that?
- What was that?

ANNOUNCER: Goodness me!
[crowd clamoring]

Tranmere win at Wrexham.

Wow.

RYAN:
We'd 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

kept the spirit
of Wales alive

even though many
of their descendants today

have never actually
been to Wales.

MATIAS: 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 sacrifice
that these people made,

I wouldn't be here without it.

[light music]

[energetic music]

DAVID: [speaking Spanish]

David Mardones,
[indistinct],

"Hi, greetings
from Welsh Patagonia."

Uh, "We continue to support
Wrexham from my group,

Patagonia Wrexham
Support Group."

Brilliant, David.
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.

[light music]

HUMPHREY: 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.

[computer rings]

RYAN: Hello, everyone.

We want to fly you to Wales
for Saint David's Day

and to watch a Wrexham game
at the Racecourse.

[upbeat electronic music]

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
tournament in Africa.

It involves
all the best African teams

and great stars,

a lot of good players
from all over the world.

We have a lot of great stars,
like Mo Salah,

Sadio Mané, Victor Osimhen.

I'm-I'm happy to be
the first player ever

to represent Wrexham
in the AFCON.

HUMPHREY:
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 want
to make sure that, uh,

you know, we don't suffer
in his absence.

Have the best time.
PERSON: Good luck.

Can I come with you?
JACOB: [chuckles]

- Good luck.
- Not allowed to bring her on?

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.
- Good luck, Mendy.

- Thank you. See you later.
- See you.

PERSON: Bye.

Hello, everybody.

PERSON 2: Hi. Hi, everybody.

STUDENTS: Hi.

So I'm super happy
that you're here today

for this exciting opportunity,

'cause we're gonna launch
a book.

PERSON: This book
that we're celebrating today

called "The Lucky Dragon,"
it's our first book

in Welsh and in English.

HUMPHREY:
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 an HP device

to color pages of
"The Lucky Dragon" NABU book.

Is it exciting?

Have you ever colored
anything in 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?

[students cheering]

Yes!

HUMPHREY: So we've asked
some of our players

from both 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 felt like I wanted to scream,

'cause, like, I love the
players and I love Wrexham.

This, yeah.

And he signed right there.

PRODUCER: Two signatures?

Yeah!
PRODUCER: How come?

I just asked him,
and he-and he did it.

PHOTOGRAPHER:
Everyone look this way.

Three, two, one.

[students cheer]

CROWD: Wrexham! Wrexham!

HUMPHREY:
Um, exciting game today,

away to Newport County.

This is an opportunity
for us to go top,

uh, if we-
if we're successful.

And in other good news,
we've, uh-

we've heard that, uh, Arsenal

will not be exercising
their option

to bring Arthur back
from loan,

so he's staying with us

through to the end
of the season,

which is a huge boost
to everyone.

ANNOUNCER: Clark looking
for the run over the top.

Ben Tozer heads
that one clear.

Will Boyle's heavy touch.

[speaking indistinctly]

It was the linesman
who gave the foul, I think.

ANNOUNCER: And the referee's
got a decision to make now.

He's clearly won the ball,
but at the same time,

he's followed through
to the man as well.

And he could be in trouble.

PHIL: Hey, tell him
it's not a red fucking card.

ANNOUNCER:
The referee speaks to him.

PHIL: No! No!
ANNOUNCER: Red card.

Will Boyle sent off

after 17 1/2 minutes
of this derby.

He won the ball cleanly.
REFEREE: Listen. Listen to me.

- I am.
- Need to relax

and calm yourself down.
- I am. I'm calm.

Need to leave him alone.

Can I just say something,
Ref?

Yeah.

ANNOUNCER:
Parkinson gets a yellow card.

And it's
advantage Newport now,

with Wrexham being down
to ten men.

All right.

Yeah, I think you're
never out of a game,

even with ten men.

You know, football's littered
with-with comeback stories

and playing against
a bit of adversity.

And we've shown that ourselves
many times 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.

ANNOUNCER: Delaney just inside
the Wrexham penalty.

A cross chance,
his left foot.

[thud echoes]

Headed in front of Ben Tozer.
It's in.

Seb Palmer-Houlden...

right in front
of the Wrexham supporters.

ANNOUNCER 2:
We've seen Arthur Okonkwo

make some stunning saves,
but I don't think

a goalkeeper in the world
is getting there.

That was a brilliant header.

[both speaking indistinctly]

[tense music]

ANNOUNCER 1: Cleared
down the line to Mullin.

Mullin can't quite
get a touch.

He's done enough to spin away
from his man.

That's good covering defense.

ANNOUNCER 2:
And I think for Wrexham,

it's about soaking up
that pressure

and then take the chances
when they come,

'cause that is so crucial.

PHIL: That's nice!

ANNOUNCER 1:
Paul Mullin ducks away,

goes for the long-range lob.

Townsend gets back to save it.

Frustrating afternoon
for Paul Mullin.

Let's go, lads!
Come on!

ANNOUNCER 1:
They just nullified

any sort of opportunity
all-around for Newport.

Wrexham's really trying
to trouble them.

Fucking unbelievable!

HUMPHREY: 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.

PERSON: We were really,
really bad yesterday.

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.

PHIL: Sometimes things
go against you so much

and the mountain
is too big to climb.

And it just was today
with-with those circumstances.

But listen,
we move on to next week.

PLAYER: Watch the runner!
Watch the runner!

PERSON:
Disappointing weekend, though.

We lost to Newport 1-0.
That was pretty grim.

PERSON 2: And whichever way
you look at it,

you know,
it's a fifth league defeat.

I think that's seven
in total for the season.

Probably one of the most

uninspired performances
under Parky.

I probably even include the
Stockport hammering in that

'cause at least we gave it
some kind of go.

PERSON 3: Why are we so bad
away from home

compared to at home?

Wrexham are
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.

ANNOUNCER:
Penalty to Wrexham.

That was kind of predictable.

So it's, uh-it's over.

PERSON 2: It's a good test of
Parky's credentials right now

because we don't lose games
in a row.

You know,
the detractors come out again.

And is this-
is this a mini crisis?

PERSON 3:
It think it's a mini crisis

if we lose at Salford.

PERSON 2:
That's-that's a mini crisis.

[crowd booing]

ANNOUNCER: 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 tries
to run through the middle.

PHIL: Go on, Mulls!

ANNOUNCER: And he runs
straight into Tilt.

STEVE:
Mulls, just knock it straight.

Let's go! Come on!

ANNOUNCER 2: Might be time
to change shape soon,

though, as well maybe.

ANNOUNCER 1:
Yeah, it's not working.

ANNOUNCER 2: It's not far
from kitchen sink time, is it?

PERSON 1: One of the
complaints that's been leveled

at the team and Parky
this season

is perhaps a lack
of willingness to be flexible

when things
aren't going right.

ANNOUNCER 1: And the Wrexham
players and fans

are getting really frustrated,
I think.

HUMPHREY: [sighs]
So after this loss,

that drops us down
to fourth place.

Um, and now we are-

we are in the playoffs only.

PERSON 1:
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.

We don't go up, that's
massively disappointing.

PERSON 2:
Well, you got Paul Mullin.

You definitely feel there's-

there's a yard of pace
that's been lost.

You know, you watch him
week in, week out,

and you think he's not quite
as quick as he was.

Doesn't matter, 'cause
he's still a clever player

and he's still-he's still
a natural goal scorer.

STEVE:
Move the ball! Quickly!

Nice and bright.
One and two touch.

[energetic music]

ANNOUNCER:
It feels like an eternity

since we've played
at the 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.

STEVE: Keep the tempo up, up,
all of us moving in quickly!

ANNOUNCER: Wrexham need
to stop the run of defeats.

Carries it inside.

Evans has 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!

Good save.
[crowd groans]

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.

ANNOUNCER 1:
Their final ball's been

quite poor, hasn't it?

ANNOUNCER 2: Mullin could have
done better there, but...

The longer that goes,

you could feel that Bradford
gained a little bit of belief.

ANNOUNCER 1:
Piling on the pressure.

We need to make
these count now.

PHIL:
I think the lads understand

we're gonna freshen
the team up.

ANNOUNCER 1: Would you be
looking to make changes now?

ANNOUNCER 2: I don't know.
Do you take Fletcher off?

ANNOUNCER 1:
No, I don't think so.

ANNOUNCER 2: Absolutely.

ANNOUNCER 1:
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 a win
without Mullin on the pitch.

He's our talisman.
He's 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-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, you know,

he's-he's disappointed
with-with the way

the season's panned out
for him personally.

But I think that there will be
ebbs, there will be troughs.

At some point, probably,

we're going to have
a bad season

where things are challenging.

I think it's
incredibly important

that we all collectively are
mentally prepared for that.

ANNOUNCER 1: O'Connell
heads it into Lee in midfield.

Put under pressure
by McDonald.

Seems to be holding him.

Surely is holding him.
Ref hasn't given it.

And Cook's one-on-one!
Can he finish?

Okonkwo gets there.

But the rebound goes in.

And Wrexham go behind
with 15 seconds left.

PERSON:
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?

ANNOUNCER 1: Well,
it's a long time since Wrexham

failed to score at home.

PERSON: With this loss,

Wrexham drop 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 really
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.

Uh, he's made changes
too late, in my opinion.

With Mullin and-
Mullin and Fletcher up front,

they getting tired.

PRODUCER:
What's the answer, mate?

A new-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.

STEVE: 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.

PERSON: 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.

ANNOUNCER 1:
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.

ANNOUNCER 2: That's got
to feel like a massive blow

to a star player like Mullin.

There's a saying
that people say

if-if they're missing chances,

don't worry about it
with center forwards.

But for me,
it's sort of the opposite.

Um, if I'm missing the chances,
then it's time to worry,

because it's not what I do.

Um, I sort of felt like maybe,

'cause I hadn't scored
for a few games,

gaffer lost faith
in me, like.

I think that sort of
lit a switch in me

to take it on the chin
and get on with it.

Well, it's not about me.

It's all about
the team's success.

ANNOUNCER 1: As Young
has a look up and signals.

Sweeps it into the near post,

and it's in!

Wrexham take a deserved lead!

It's James McClean lunging in
at the near post.

[crowd chanting]

PERSON 1:
So often this season,

we've been rubbish
away from home.

Finally at MK Dons,
we're good.

We're great, in fact.

ANNOUNCER 1:
In the box, drills it.

The keeper
makes a good save.

PERSON: And yet we still
can't find a way to win.

ANNOUNCER 1:
Payne 25 yards out,

punches it in, a nice little
clip round the corner.

Where-there's a chance
and slams it in.

And Wrexham are gonna be
so disappointed.

STEVE: Too fucking easy here!

PERSON: Been so many
missed opportunities

away from home this season.

ANNOUNCER 1:
Wrexham draw at MK Dons.

PERSON: I feel like I should
be happy with a draw,

but I'm really not.

It feels like a loss.

It feels like
we've dropped points.

ANNOUNCER 1: 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.

PERSON: There just seems
to be now this nervousness

in a group that
desperately needs

to find some confidence again.

PERSON 2: There's that seed
of doubt now with Wrexham

that we know we can be beaten.

ANNOUNCER 1: Last time
we played here, we lost 4-1.

Mendy, back
from international duty,

crosses right-footed.

Oh, it's a hell of a save.

PHIL: Oh!

ANNOUNCER 1: It's dinked in,
stands at the far post.

Dangerously driven in!

And it's there!

I think it's Jonny Williams
who taps it in.

Fucking hell!

ANNOUNCER 1: That was a
beautifully worked free kick.

And Gillingham
are celebrating

like they just won the league.

[whistle blows]

There is the final whistle.

Wrexham lose
on the road again.

PERSON: It's a very difficult
week, maybe, as a Wrexham fan.

PERSON 2:
Yeah, it's not good, is it?

You know, um, 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.

PERSON 3: We're just
a bit cursed right now.

Normally, I'd feel confident
we can get results

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.

ANNOUNCER 1:
Another away game,

another distant journey,

Wrexham away
to Forest Green Rovers.

Forest Green Rovers,
second bottom of the league.

We're looking
to go up automatically.

You'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-oh, that's a mistake
by Young,

and Wrexham
are under pressure here.

The ball played in
round the back of the defense.

Osaoabe hits it...

and, oh, goodness me, scores.

Well, wake a mistake
and immediately are punished.

[tense music]

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-we don't-no one
can seem to figure out

what is going wrong.

Certainly, our away form
has been a little trashy.

But, God damn it,
I love this club

with every cell in my body.

And I-I want to-

it's like I die when they lose.

ANNOUNCER 1: There's not
much time left for Wrexham.

Is that a penalty?

ANNOUNCER 2: That's got
to be a penalty-yes, it is.

ANNOUNCER 1: Oh, it was
a reckless challenge, that.

ANNOUNCER 2: Awful challenge.

ANNOUNCER 1:
Mullin was after it.

A two-footed challenge,
just lunging in.

Mullin with the penalty.
He sets himself, steps up.

ANNOUNCER 2: Scores!
ANNOUNCER 1: Yes!

Wrexham get the equalizer.

Blows for the final whistle.

The 93rd-minute equalizer
for Wrexham.

[sighs]

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, uh, Rob and I
need to show our face.

We need to go to the town
and go, um...

to the Racecourse

I was so-so pleased

RYAN: 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
be there myself,

but unfortunately,
I'm currently ensnared

in an edit suite,
making sure that 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 just 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. Thanks very much.
- 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, um, we wanted to go
down there and, um-

and show our support.

Good to see you.
ROB: Good to see you, buddy.

Good luck tomorrow.
- Thank you.

Good to see you.

I can't wait
for the game tomorrow.

How you feel?
- I'm good. I'm good.

Are you gonna be there
tomorrow?

- Yeah!
- OK, good.

I'm sure I'll come.
It'll be 4-0.

Fuck these guys, right?

[laughter]

There's Tommy.

How's-OK, the haircut.

You changed the haircut?
- Yeah, haircut just yesterday.

ROB: As the 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 always important

for us to remind them

I think one of the key factors

of the end
of the losing streak

has been the return home

and our fans, uh,
who supported 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,
it was Paul's goal,

because strikers in particular
thrive on confidence,

and confidence comes
from scoring goals.

PAUL: I want to score
'cause I want to win.

And I say many times, I don't
care who scores the goals

if we can win the games, and

today we've managed
