The best description of one of our players on here was, 'Brad Collins doesn't look like a footballer, he looks like a man who would try to sell you mastiff puppies in a flat-roofed pub.' No idea whose post it was, but it proper made me laugh.

From what I gather, we tried to sign McNally on a perm at that time. McNally was a more experienced, and thus better, player at the time, but even without his bad luck with injury, would he be at Thomas' level now? I'm not sure about that.

You don't often see chonks like that in the modern game, do you. It's like proper tufties; men who have gone bald but do not shave what remains off. The Atillio Lombardo types. A thing from a bygone age.

I can't work out if your truculence makes you stupid, or if your stupidity makes you truculent.

I'll win Miss World before we win there*. We've never won a league game there. Ever. This year was particularly annoying because the team thought they'd won the game after going 1-0 up against ten. It's the only time I've been genuinely cross at a performance this season. Well, ok, Hull in...

Yeah, but when Dasilva got sent off and they scored quite quickly, I thought we were going to get steamrollered. Who knows what would have happened 11 v 11.

Was that who the co-commentator was? He was fucking awful.

They interviewed him afterwards and he came across as thick as mince.

That was an exceptionally difficult opponent he was playing against. As good at running with the ball as any in the division, I'd say. Dasilva had a very good first half, but that was a spectacularly brainless moment he had, and in effect cost us any chance at getting the win. Lati blocked and...

I thought he spoke quite fairly; he was giving us credit.

That's an exceptional point. Fanfuckingtastic.

That was pure stupidity.

Watch it again. I can understand why the ref gave them the benefit, but Wright only goes down because the defender falls into him. That's a foul.

That was an excellent half from us. Deserved the lead. EMC very good. Penalty decision; their bloke falls into Wright sending him down. I can see why the ref didn't give it but we're really not getting those decisions this season. And the ref was absolutely played by their forward to get...

We have a lot more syllables in defence than normal.

They do seem to scratch results where all the stats are hopelessly against them. I don't really know what that says.

There's a depressing resurgence of the mullet, I notice. Kids, it looked fucking awful in the 80s, learn from the mistakes of your forebears.

Props to them for using the Norman Greenbaum version of Spirit in the Sky. Quite like that, actually, and a nice (and accurate) little jibe in there. Definitely not a derby, though. I can imagine getting to Swansea from Wrexham is an absolute pain in the arse.

Wrexham's rivals have traditionally been the English border clubs; Chester and to a lesser extent Shrewsbury. One of those amusing triangles of animosity that you get in football. I don't really know if Swansea or Cardiff care about them. They'll probably more take the piss out of each other...

For the diminutive Birmingham supporter in your life. For the most part, I liked our Hummel ones; it was just the brown trim around the sole. If that had have been white, they'd have been a winner.
