    @KiwiPie well at least they're openly supporting Notts County for the other spot!

    Hammers smash Bournemouth overnight which has me a bit nervous. Was expecting a point to be honest given recent form. Haven't seen the game but down 0-2 after 12 minutes probably did it. I hope that pulls their head in for the Southampton match up next.

    I don't understand the hate towards Wrexham. Having rich owners is how you succeed in modern football.

    @KiwiMurph not to mention they seem genuinely invested in the team too.

    @bayimports If we had secured top spot, I would be supporting Wrexham for the play-offs as well. We're certain to lose our 2 best players to higher leagues at the end of the summer so we do need this promotion to attract some top replacements.

    Saw the brief headlines of the Bournemouth game and it looked like set pieces and free headers and game over. Hammers pretty much safe now and able to concentrate on Europe. Bournemouth safe if they beat Saints I reckon.

    Do we think Ryan Reynolds could be convinced to buy the All Blacks… 🙂

    I’ve only seen the love for what’s going on.

    Great series but I wish they would do a more up to date version than waiting until end of season. It’s addictive as smack

    Just like Drive to Survive, Break Point and all the other similar shows, I guess it's difficult to provide a quality show on the fly. It takes time to form the narrative based on hours and hours of footage, and turn it into a cohesive series

    I struggle to find hate too its a great story of which Notts have also played a great part, if "bloody Wrexham" is hate then I don't think @KiwiMurph hasn't read through the thread and the context of KP's team. Unless it was something else..

    F*ck Arsenal on the other hand...kidding how's those nerves @Hooroo?, at least you're battling for top of table, Im hoping to survive the drop ha ha

    Big big match tomorrow ... Arsenal City.

    Annoyingly, it's on BT sport here.

    However, matches which are deemed to be "In The National Interest" must be broadcast on free to air ... BT sport have often put these on youtube.

    Fingers crossed.

    I have mostly thought that we would be caught. Got a young squad so could be competitive for a while which is nice for the future.

    Not sure how much money the owners are prepared to put in to Wrexham - they have enough for them to climb up the leagues by buying someone like Mullin who would be sought after in the championship. But to get higher than the championship will require major investment. Also interesting to see if this is the next model for sport - the content for the documentary becomes more important than success on the field.

    Although Reynolds has plenty, I'm not sure he's going to want to spend it all on the club. But he's smart so I'd expect he'll work it out, or bring in an investor

    Arsenal have stayed at the top until the end of the season - that's quite an achievement and especially given that they don't really have much quality below the first XI (Saliba getting injured was a real blow for them). And they can still win the league, just go to City and win and it is back in their hands!

    Not just Saliba, Tomiyasu being out for the year limits the options in defence. Arsenal's fortunes tend to go with Partey's form, and he has been poor in recent games. I don't think that Holding has been too bad. He wasn't directly responsible for the goals conceded in the last couple of games.

    Let's face it. Man City have unlimited funds so their 2nd XI is top 6 quality. No other team can say that.

    Arsenal aren't "bottling" the league, they are still on target for 89 points. Up until about 2017 that won the league more often than not

    It's just that this City side have pushed the points needed up by at least 6, so what used to be just common dropped points are now fatal. They do shit like win 13 games straight to win the league. It's fucked.

    They're kissed on the dick by injury too. They've actually used the least number of players in the Premier League this year.

    City are O for awesome. A completely and utterly one sided half. Pure quality.
