Gosh, please don't insult us by associating us with Netflix. It's the much more wholesome Disney company showing the documentary. Walt was a top lad and I think it's a disgrace that our club and owners are being incorrectly associated with that other streaming platform by absolutely everyone at Ipswich Town Football Club.

I'm talking more about the clickbait crap that the nationals are coming out with. They don't control the narrative that the media portrays.
For instance, we all know we're no longer "underdogs". |

You make it sound like a concerted effort by the Wrexham Propaganda Ministry, rather than two footballers talking on a podcast about a subject they appear to know very little about.
I know Foster's podcasts get good viewing figures, but I'd be very surprised if it's dented anyone's opinion of Ipswich and/or Ed Sheeran. |

I'm very chilled. Singing GSTK makes you slightly subservient, I'd argue. I've always thought Jerusalem would make a better English national anthem anyway.
As for the latter part, since when was football civilised? |

Palmer isn't a stranger to outlandish comments. I think he recently said he'd back himself to get 20 goals a season in Man City's team (he wouldn't).
My point is that somehow taking his views as being representative of the whole club is just daft.
No-one thinks we're bigger than Ipswich - we've just spent 15 years in non-league for Christ's sake.
As for the Disney deal, I'm not sure what you're getting at? The documentary is the main vehicle for attracting extra investment into the club. |

If I'm honest, I find a lot of it quite tiresome too. The owners only have to fart and it would be a story at the moment. I'd argue there's a difference between us and the likes of Salford though.
Agree completely regarding it being tougher for us in League One. The owners have talked about getting us into the Premier League and that they'd need more investors to come in. I'd be quite happy just to see us back in League One though, as that's where we were when I started supporting Wrexham. |

Wrexham fan here. It seems to me that Palmer's comments have been blown out of proportion, partly as it involves Wrexham and we're the current clickbait fodder.
Was what he said about Ed Sheeran's involvement at Ipswich ill-informed and inaccurate? Yes (I'm not sure he's the sharpest).
Were his comments malicious? I don't think so, it was just a passing remark about Rob and Ryan's level of involvement at Wrexham.
As usual though, it's easy to take a clip from a podcast, detach it from its original context and spark a bit of outrage.
To the people saying they hate everything about Wrexham, what is it in particular that you object to?
Is it two blokes who have done well for themselves investing in a non-league club and turning the team from perennial underachievers into a success story and doing positive things for the community along the way?
If it's the "media circus", I hardly see how they're to blame for that. That's outside their control.
As for hating the English, my parents and the majority of my family are English so that would be quite the identity crisis. We do boo God Save The Queen/King though a) as it seems to annoy our rivals and b) being subservient to a bloke with a gold hat is a bit weird in 2023. |
