Best Of

Some seem to be seduced by some of his films!

I don't dislike Wrexham for spending money - I dislike them for packaging it as "romance" as if they are a plucky bunch of part-time no-hopers just up from the mines, somehow overcoming the odds.

Oh, and also because I find Ryan Reynolds painfully phony and I am genuinely amazed at how many people think he is a sincere, stand-up bloke.

Wrexham's actual fans seem decent - as an ex-pat I can only go off their forum, but it generally seems balanced.

Gareth had a much smaller squad and sometimes didn't even have enough to fill the bench so the team generally picked itself resulting in less players getting upset not starting. Blooms had a much larger squad of mainly better player, so it must have been much more difficult to keep everyone happy especially those that weren't playing. Some of the newer players may not have had the same respect for Blooms as they would have for Gareth.

At a higher level, I think that is a reason why Chelsea have generally underperformed due to their massive squad of multi million pound signings with corresponding high egos.

Men vs boys. As it often was in those days.

There's a lot of long dormant accounts suddenly springing to life.

...in 2018 (seven years ago) Matt Bloomfield played 67 minutes for Wycombe Wanderers in a 3-2 League Two win over Crewe Alexandra at Gresty Road (replaced by Craig Mackail-Smith).

These highlights bring back some happy memories - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-8y6eMtGX0

Hopefully, he scores the goal that keeps them up!

And then we can have an additional closure on 2nd before finally having the final final closure (and transfer window closure) on 3rd Feb 😉

@our_frank Yes, you're right The interview appeared to be ending, and G added, of his own volition, that he wanted to say a few words of thanks to the departing gaffer for everything he's done, and wishing him well on his journey. This wasn't an open door, Phil wasn't going to go there - they could have just "top manned" it after the Uno joke...

Is Grimmer the only one who thanked Blooms, or have there been more since? Grimmer being the only one would seem odd, especially when you think of how someone like Kone has had his career trajectory changed under Bloomfield.
