Good morning all. Itβs my birthday today, celebrating a cool 36 years on this planet. As a result, this will very much be a SparkNotes edition as I attempt to enjoy some peace and quiet away from the family, whilst also pretending to be sociable.
- Raymond James Stadium once hosted WrestleMania. I know this because I am a wrestling nerd. Itβs still real to me, dammit.

- Oooooh look, a pirate ship.
- Bye bye Jack. Delighted to finally get that huge wage permanently off the books. The club has done a really good job clearing out the deadwood this summer.
- Why are the Wrexham players moving so fast? Am I watching this at double speed?
30 seconds. Oh dear. Moore has scored. - Vroooooom! Dan James zoomies. Penalty!
- Piroe desperately needs a haircut.
- Piroe misses another one. He has now missed his last three penalties.
- Longstaff is playing really well.
- Filthy flick from Piroe for the equaliser.

- Why is our defensive line so high? Uh ohβ¦
- Great finish from Longstaff!
- Harry Wilson looks bright. Lovely flick for James, then a superb ball through to Gnonto.

- God, weβve been poor defensively.
- Good run-out for the players. Minutes in the legs. More signings to come. Senior players will return from injury and World Cup duty. Plenty of positives despite the result.

Enjoyed this? After The Bell will always be free. If you'd like to support the site, you can buy me a coffee and cake. It's Farke's favourite. π€ππ
