  • Cup Magic vs. The Machine: Wrexham and Ipswich’s FA Cup Showdown
    Feb 13 2026

    In this episode, we preview the high-stakes FA Cup fourth-round tie between Wrexham AFC and Ipswich Town at the STōK Cae Ras. We explore the clash of styles between Wrexham's storied "Cup Magic"—most recently seen in their dramatic third-round penalty shootout victory over Nottingham Forest—and the clinical, systematic efficiency of the "Ipswich Machine" under Kieran McKenna.

    We also take a trip down memory lane to the famous 1995 encounter where a lower-league Wrexham pulled off a stunning 2-1 upset against a Premier League Ipswich side. With both teams currently fighting for promotion in the Championship, we analyse the tactical battle, the impact of the Hollywood ownership, and whether Phil Parkinson’s men can reach the fifth round for the first time in over 25 years.

    Topics covered:

    • Wrexham's Giant-Killing Legacy: Reliving the magic of 1995 and the win over Nottingham Forest.
    • The McKenna Machine: How Ipswich Town has been built into one of the most efficient sides in the EFL.
    • Key Battles: Analyzing the roles of stars like Arthur Okonkwo and Ipswich’s dangerous attacking threats.
    • History in the Making: Can Wrexham write a new chapter and secure a place in the last sixteen?

  • The Fuchs Fury: Newport County’s League Two Struggle Continues
    Feb 12 2026

    "In this episode, we break down a frustrating night for Newport County as they suffered a 2-0 defeat away at Swindon Town. Despite a resilient first-half performance marshalled by manager Christian Fuchs, the game turned on two decisive moments in just three second-half minutes.

    We discuss the major talking point of the match: the ignored penalty appeal for Tanatswa Nyukuhwa just moments before Swindon's Fletcher Holman opened the scoring in the 63rd minute. We also look at the unfortunate own goal by Joe Thomas that doubled the hosts' lead and effectively sealed the result.

    The episode features a deep dive into Christian Fuchs’ post-match comments, where he labelled Newport the 'way better team' despite the scoreline. With the Exiles now sitting 21st in the table and facing a tough run of fixtures, we ask: what needs to change to secure League Two safety?"
