Episode 104 - Drunks On Donkeys

[@brianeleighton]

You guys just described Atlantic City, New Jersey. It is the downmarket Las Vegas that had it's real heyday back in the 60s and 70s and has a famous boardwalk on its beach 😂😂😂

[@BruceMcFarling]

It also had a bit of a heyday during Prohibition, as fictionalized in Boardwalk Empire. Obviously that wouldn't have been a factor for Blackpool.

[@brianeleighton]

@@BruceMcFarling True, I was just meaning his description of Blackpool is basically a verbatim description of Atlantic City lol

[@BruceMcFarling]

@@brianeleighton Not disagreeing!

Good luck on the job hunt , don’t worry you’ll find something you love more. Onwards and upwards!

[@andreatannahill645]

Sian wishing you a very successful job hunt. I had a similar experience last year. Finding a new job was really stressful but I found a great one. I know that you will too. Really enjoyed this episode. I am getting nervous too about the lack of signings. Nice to see there was one this week after your podcast came out. Here’s to lots more in the coming weeks.

NYC is 5 hours behind Wrexham and the west coast is 8 hours behind so a 5:30pm kick off in Wales is a nice fit for everyone in the US

The shirt is from 2012/13 season. I remember the stitching above the badge and Adidas logo isn’t on the 2015/16 season. It’s the Carabao Cup (pronounced Cara-bow), the energy drink named after the type of buffalo. A caribou is a reindeer.

I lost my job a few years ago. I was devastated. Turns out it was the best thing that ever happened to me (career anyway).

[@KeroArai]

I got made redundant end of May and it’s such an annoying struggle. Here’s to finding something amazing and new for you!

[@myrtland]

another great ep! good luck on the job hunt. blackpool sounds more like atlantic city, new jersey than las vegas. its an oceanside community with a boardwalk and carnival rides, and casinos that used to be very popular. and if you research new jersey, i bet there were donkeys there too lol

[@Writingne1]

Thinking of you on your job hunt.

[@methewifeandwrexhamafcpodcast]

[@paulkelly8810]

[@methewifeandwrexhamafcpodcast]

The Carabao cup is named for the drink, not the animal. I hope they give the young lads they've signed a chance to play in the Trophy, with veterans from the bench to give them some backbone, with the #2 GK. See how they go. If they get out of the group stage, let them go as far as they can go. Signing anxiety level: Checking for signing news three+ times a day. Maybe 6 out of 10. If a big one hasn't hit by the 8th, it'll be a tick or two higher. If it wasn't for Arthur, the anxiety meter would already be higher.

[@BruceMcFarling]

UPDATE: Now THAT is what I am talking about ... a 23 old defender with a year experience in the 1st team, and good success in another club promoted to League 1, and if Parkie sees a League 1 defender in him, I have hope of his growing into the role so growing into a Championship level defender is a possibility. And we need players able to grow into a higher division if we are going to be promoted in under one full three year contract cycle. We needed another centre half, and a ball playing centre half that is a natural right footed player but "a bit two-footed" and a lot of his experience last year playing left center back sounds good for Wrexham often playing 3-5-2 in attack and 4-4-2 in defense. Tick the anxiety meter down to maybe 4 of 10 (obviously rising again if there is not another signing coming up later this week).

[@BruceMcFarling]

And now, not anxious at all. I am hoping for a faster, hopefully big striker and a winger with a burst of speed, but George Dobson in the midfield makes me a lot less anxious that League 1 clubs will just be able to bottle up the service to the strikers from the wings. My only concern with George Dobson is if the club already has a Gio, what does he get called? Are we going to have a Gio & JoJo midfield partnership?

[@Anh1984Khoa]

Hi Sian, can you please tweet rob and ask him where our $100 million Striker is?

[@methewifeandwrexhamafcpodcast]

Consider it done 👍

[@davidmiddleton6479]

Hey there’s always onlyfans! Lmao jkjk. Sorry dark sense of humor. I’m in the camp that everything happens for a reason. Bank this, in 1-2 years you’ll look back and be thankful that you were redundant. Trust me on this. Went through similar change 16 years ago. Everything always work out. Just no onlyfans pls. This whole season, minus crawley, will be a tough game. We need a championship left defensive midfielder for Mendy and another center mid. No L1 or 2 retreads tyvm.

[@methewifeandwrexhamafcpodcast]

@@davidmiddleton6479 😂 hey it could be an option if I don’t fine anything lol
