I hope they do so Liverpool can't celebrate on the field.
It's the sixth version of The Swamp. What could possibly go wrong?

I'm not a big fan of Vacario. Hoping Kinsky improves a lot in the Summer.mister d wrote: Mon Apr 21, 2025 2:19 pm Spurs would be doing no better or worse if I were in goal today.
The only thing that went right for NUFC. Villa has a crazy easy run-in so now it’s about staying ahead of Forest and hoping for the best.
Three consecutive promotions, but it’s gonna get harder, eh?HaulCitgo wrote: Sat Apr 26, 2025 1:14 pm Odds on wrexham 26-2027? Those guys got to go all in and cash out

I think they did an episode on this in their last TV season (which was about the previous Wrexham season, not this current one). They pointed out the huge financial differences between the owners at their level and the Premier League (and Championship). I suspect that rather than totally cash out, they'll look for investors who are willing to buy controlling stakes, but still keep Rob and Ryan involved, because they're such a valuable marketing advantage.HaulCitgo wrote: Sat Apr 26, 2025 1:14 pm Odds on wrexham 26-2027?

They'd absolutely make a killing selling now. But at the same time, they are a big reason for Wrexham's success - advertising, the reality show, etc. It would behoove any buyer to keep them intimately involved.HaulCitgo wrote: Sat Apr 26, 2025 2:54 pm So cash out now? Selling high is good but high is low with one more promotion. I'm sure they know the deal. Sell now huh
They have already brought in the Allyn family as minority investors.Shirley wrote: Sat Apr 26, 2025 2:34 pmI think they did an episode on this in their last TV season (which was about the previous Wrexham season, not this current one).

To make it through the league with only 2 losses is pretty remarkable. And two of their draws probably should have been wins (the last minutes goals by Newcastle and Everton).garyclark wrote: Sun Apr 27, 2025 12:55 pm Liverpool were the class of the league this year.
Not easy to follow Klopp. Full marks to Slot.
And I thank them for that. Chelsea has a tough road to secure a top-five finish and every bit helps. According to the computers, Chelsea's chances went from about 40% to close to 50% with that Forest loss. In the end though, it's mostly going to come down to Chelsea vs Newcastle and then Chelsea vs Forest on the last day.
They’re calling it the worst Premier League game in history. They’re calling it El Chaffico. El Crapico. The Derby Della Mediocre. They’re calling it the first Premier League game in which both teams somehow manage to lose. They’re posting memes of old men playing walking football and Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes.
They’re mentioning the fact that none of the three relegated teams have won more games against Premier League opposition than Paris Saint-Germain have. The fact that since Leicester scored their last league goal at home, Southampton have sacked a manager, appointed an interim, appointed a permanent replacement, sacked the permanent replacement and re-appointed the interim from earlier.
And of course on the whitewater banter rapids of social media, Leicester v Southampton exists largely as a punchline, or perhaps two punchbags. Leicester have not scored at home in the league for five months. Southampton, in danger of equalling the lowest points total in Premier League history, have not kept a clean sheet in their past 17 league games. Something, either way, is going to have to give here.
Damn it. That did make me like him more.Shirley wrote: Fri May 02, 2025 9:14 am This probably won't sway any of the Cucurella haters, but it just makes me love him more.

Yeah, don't humanize our villains! I mostly dislike him because he is good. He is a shithouser, but not a dirty cheat.
