It might just be where I read, but I don't really see many of their fans being dickheads on socials either. Seem like a good bunch.

No issue with Wrexham at all, and it would be good for football if they somehow ended up all of the way to the promised land in a few seasons.

I don't want them to do well at all & would luv them to get relegated - hate the fawning over them by SKY etc as if they've gone through tremendous hardship to end up a stones throw away from the Prem
Plus the national creaming of everyones collective pants would be increased tenfold if they did actually make it to the Prem - it'd be hilarious if they went down - sod em

They have gone through tremendous hardship. Whatever your opinion of them that's indisputable

I don't get this Doyle is shit. He was brilliant with us, promoted with Leicester, played well for Norwich and crucially Man City put in a buy back clause. They obviously feel he may be good enough for the top of the Prem in a couple of seasons.
Ok he has started slowly in Wales, but Wrexham have a whole new set of players still bedding in.
I take him, but out of our price range at present.

He wasn't out of our price range, pretty sure we bid more for Charlie Hughes. We either never actually really wanted him, thought the deal Man City wanted was awful or a bit of both.

Never said we wanted or tried to get him. Said I would like him back.
His wages are out of our price range unless something changes in January, and King decides to break the structure, which he would not do for O'Hare.

He was right not to for O'Hare and would be right not to for Doyle too. If he does it in Jan it'll be for someone we see as having Prem potential, although I think he'll stick to the structure until we were to get there.

I think a back 4 will work better against Wrexham, Moore is pretty much upfront on his own we don’t need 3 CB. They play 3 in midfield so Allen and Grimes could get over ran.

They were hanging on for dear life once Boro woke up, the problem for Boro was it took them until the last 10-20 minutes to do that. There was a whiff of complacency on Saturday which FL will hopefully iron out going into this one.

Again, no one has ever said we would go for Doyle, particularly in January and his contract would prevent his sale anyway. 25% sell on and Man City clause. Pep clearly thinks Doyle may have Prem potential, hence the clause.
With O'Hare, the timing screwed us. No one is giving a player a contract coming back from an ACL. When he proved his fitness, he was offered a way better deal than we could match.
Viveash wanted to keep O'Hare. That's good enough for me,

O'Hare wouldn't even get in our best 11 now, having him as highest earner would be madness. I'm also glad we didn't bother with Doyle, that's it really. Man City got his contract claused up to the max to cover themselves, its an immoral way of dealing really but Wrexham were stupid enough to do it.

I can't stand Wrexham but it's not because of them being a smaller club climbing the leagues or having a documentary with celebrity owners.

I can't stand "Wrexham LA supporters club, Sao Paolo Reds" etc. Support your local.

I'm happy for Wrexham to take air time away from us. Let them continue to talk about Birmingham, Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton. It keeps the pressure of the media off our players a bit.

Hopefully their match with Cardiff is a real feisty one. Loads of energy spent , a couple of injuries (minor tweaks will do I'm not a monster!)

I'm not a monster either, but am hoping for a couple of ACL's, three hamstring tears, two own goals, a sending off and a vomiting bug rampaging through the camp and this is before we have even reached half time.

This may be Hollywood, but come Friday, I am hoping we are facing the cast of Bugsy Malone and not Braveheart.

Friday night games what’s the point of them! Anyone else think they ruin a weekend as a fan , I mean it kind of takes the excitement of Saturday, Sunday footy away and who wants to travel on a Friday night ! They should just leave it to Tranmere if are old enough to remember.

Didn't Stockport County traditionally play their home games on Friday evening back in the day so the locals could go and watch one or the other Manx teams on Saturday?

To be fair mate, I was to São Paulo in the summer and went to the favelas. Most of the local kids playing football there were wearing Wrexham Tops with the likes of Hyam and Matty James on the back of their shirts.

Spoke to a few of them and they all said they want to be the next Paul Mullin.
