Ben Foster retired - his race was run .

A shame , because a 41 year old was going to be fodder for us in a few weeks .


It’ll be because of his bad back from picking the ball out the net too much.

Five teams have gone to Wrexham and scored five goals since the start of 2021/22 — Dover, Grimsby, Barnet, Mk Dons, Swindon.

I can only think of three occasions in our recent (poor) history when we've conceded 5 at BP:

Donny in 2017
Burnley in 2002
Charlton in 1999

Have I missed any out? And how far back do we need to go to find the next two occasions?

Also, dare I say it, but if they bin Parky they'll likely go for someone like Steve Evans on the advice of Shaun Harvey!!

In our old (poor) history we concede 5 at home to Bradford in the late 1960s.  We have also been well beaten at home in the last 30 years by Blackburn, Peterborough, Donney and Sheff United.  Maybe others?

I remember David Cross scoring four when West Ham tonked us 5-1. The best individual performance I have seen by a striker at BP

This just proves the rule that you can take any post on The Fishy and get back to Andrew Dallas in six steps or under:

David Cross
Kate Cross (daughter of David)
Alex Hartley (podcast partner of Kate)
JR Hartley
JR Ewing
Dallas


Try it. It’s good clean, family fun (as long as one of the steps doesn’t involve Debbie (not our Debbie) doing stuff in Texas).

The other memorable feature of that game for me was Bobby Cumming being kicked off the pitch by someone harder then him for the only time in his career the full back Ray Stewart.

So we could go
Ray Stewart
Ray Kennedy
John F Kennedy

A bit harsh on the keeper. You can be Banks, Yashin, Batch and Zoff all rolled into one but if the defence in front of you are a bunch of sh*tgibbons you're going to be busy and just not be able to stop everything!


The four true goalkeeping legends right there, eh?! Nice work.

They will bin Parkinson off. He’s a dinosaur and anyone but a Wrexham could see that he’d be useless in the football league again and in truth, regardless of town doing them in their backyard, his tactics and draconian style cost them promotion. That squad, with the right manager should’ve drunk that league and neither season they didn’t.

Evans would go there in a heartbeat, attention and money, although I’m not sure there’d be enough fanfare for them. Their next manager will likely be some ex pro with a reputation, someone like Lampard or Rooney. Better for the documentary than an eyeliner wearing cheating, criminal girl private.

Everything about them is circus and fanfare, that’s the sad thing because actually, they’re a decent club but it’s tiring and boring…

When they bin off Parkinson they won’t go for a Steve Evans type. They’ll go for a novice head coach (in Europe at least) who’s a former Premier League player.
