Episode 295 - Parky's Winning Machine: Wrexham vs Portsmouth Review & Charlton Preview

2/25/2026
Phil Parkinson's Wrexham winning machine rolls on as Tim, Andy and Liam dissect nervy 2-1 win over Portsmouth which has cemented our place in the play-offs. We ask the big question: are we now looking above us rather than behind? We also dive deep into a massive Racecourse Ground rumour regarding the Chelsea match and potential stadium changes that could affect every supporter. (Note: This remains unconfirmed by the club, but we break down what it could mean if true!) Finally, we're joined by guest Callum to preview our trip to Charlton Athletic. We talk Nathan Jones' tactical setup and the how former Wrexham man Conor Coady is getting on at the Valley. Enjoy this Fat Boar-sponsored episode?

Episode 294 - Super Wrexham Go Ballistic Ipswich Are Atrocious

2/22/2026
What a weekend for Wrexham AFC. Not only did the men pull off one of their greatest results since the takeover - the women’s side snared their first bit of silverware. Tim, Andy and Rhys are ecstatic as they look at both amazing victories. As well as reflecting on Jenny Sugarman’s history makers we ask: was that Lewis O’Brien’s AND George Thomason’s best game for Wrexham and how much credit must go to Parky for moulding ANOTHER promotion hunting team? We also look at a near assault on one our players, ask if Ben Sheaf really is out for the season and what do we think about our chances against Portsmouth. There’s a LOT to get in, so strap in...

Episode 290 - Millwall Reaction AND Mullin & Lee CALL OUT Parky

2/8/2026
Well, you can’t win them all and Rhys, Liam and Andy are on hand to dissect the Millwall defeat. Did they out-Wrexham us, was Max really to blame for the opener and are injuries going to cost us? Dr Rhys is on hand to help us on that last one. We also discuss Millwall fans being a little fighty in a throwback to the bad old days. Then we dive headlong into a thorny issue. The remarks from Elliot Lee and Paul Mullin that seemingly call out Phil Parkinson and his treatment of them. Who is in the right? We all have our say - especially after Ryan and Rob said this week that Parky has a 'job for life.' There’s also big news for Wrexham Women and we discuss what it means.

Episode 289 - Deadline Day DONE: Keillor-Dunn & Cadamarteri Join Wrexham

2/2/2026
It’s done. In fact, you could say it’s Keillor-Dunn. Liam, Andy and Tim rate and slate Wrexham's transfer window as it slams shut with THREE new recruits arriving at the Racecourse Ground. We break down the signings of Zak Vyner from Bristol City, Davis Keillor-Dunn from Barnsley and Bailey Cadamarteri from Sheffield Wednesday. We also look at how they fit into the squad and then name our first choice starting XI. We also talk about the ones that got away - we’re looking at you, right wing-backs - and some emotional goodbyes. Ryan Hardie, Harry Ashfield, Jacob Mendy, Mo Faal and (sob) Elliot Lee have departed - and we might only ever see one of them in a Wrexham shirt again. So we give a heartfelt farewell to the “White Pelé,” a player who gave us so many moments we won’t forget. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enjoy this Fat Boar-sponsored episode?

Episode 288 - Dragons Slay the Owls

2/1/2026
Tim, Andy, Liam and Rhys pore through another away - our fourth in a row - at Sheffield Wednesday and ask if we’re cementing ourselves in the play-offs. We also ask who is our preferred striker, Keiffer Moore or Sam Smith, what a day out in Sheffield is like and is that the best goalie clearance we can remember? We then go head long into transfers, with all the latest names linked which we rate and slate including Zak Vyner. We also say goodbye to the likes of Paul Mullin, Andy Cannon and to a lesser degree, Conor Coady. There’s also time to talk about Wrexham Women, James McClean’s big return to Irish football and we ask you to clap for little Rupert. We’ll have a transfer special tomorrow as well….

This time out Andy and Liam are joined by former Welsh international and BBC Feast of Football pundit Iwan Roberts to dive into his old club, Norwich. But first we reflect on the Nottingham Forest FA Cup win and if Wrexham should move for a top level Championship striker ready for a transfer. We look at Norwich’s problems this season and if they can overcome them, plus a deep dive into how he sees Phil Parkinson’s side developing - and what our ambitions should be. There’s even time for a few tales about Parkinson including when Iwan let him down and he was ‘blanked’ years later!

Episode 279 - Rathbone rampant as Wrexham brush Blackburn aside to climb Championship table

1/1/2026
Tim, Andy, and Liam are back to toast a perfect start to 2026 as the town marched into Ewood Park and left with all three points. It wasn't the New Year's Day team sheet many expected. The lads discuss the initial "pre-match panic" at a starting XI missing Josh Windass, Nathan Broadhead, and Kieffer Moore. Super Sam Smith got the nod, though, and didn't disappoint, getting us off the mark against Blackburn and proving he can lead the line in the Championship. Ollie Rathbone didn't just look the part - he owned the pitch. We break down that fantastic strike and a man of the match performance that has everyone talking.The January transfer rumour mill is ramping up with Harry Wilson linked with a highly unlikely move to Wrexham from Fulham. With the Reds sitting 8th in the live table immediately after the final whistle, is it time for the club to go "all in"? We also ask the big question of whether a Premier League push via the play-offs is actually realistic, or are we getting ahead of ourselves? Finally, can we make it four on the bounce against Derby this Sunday? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enjoy this Fat Boar-sponsored episode?

12/30/2025
Rhys, Liam, Andy and Tim are back to unpack two huge wins for Wrexham over the festive period that have fans daring to dream of a play-off push once again. We react to a battling 2-1 home victory over Preston - a performance full of grit and quality, but one overshadowed by an injury to top scorer Kieffer Moore. Do Wrexham need cover in January? There’s also praise for club-record signing Nathan Broadhead, who looks to be finding his best form at just the right time. Attention then turns to Boxing Day’s astonishing 5–3 comeback win over Sheffield United - a chaotic, thrilling classic that showcased Wrexham at their fearless best, including an outstanding display from George Thomason at left wing-back. Finally, with speculation growing, the lads debate what the future might hold for Paul Mullin as talk intensifies around a possible return from his loan spell at Wigan Athletic.
