I'm a 43 year old father of 3 from West Virginia. Never thought i would be keeping up with a football team from Wales. I have a Wrexham jacket and 2 jerseys. I don't even have American football jackets or jerseys. Lol. Watching Wrexham has been exciting and inspiring. I watch them every Saturday morning and Tuesday afternoon. Can't wait until next season. Congrats Phil. 👏
Same! Except I’m 37 from Texas 😊
Same, but older and from Australia.
Same, but 50 from Colorado, never cared about any sports before, and now I haven't missed a Wrexham game in 2 years (including 3 in person) and I've practically bought out the club shop... saying goodbye to my retirement savings one jersey at a time!
The same 48 in Idaho... personally, this has the feel of what College football is: in the communities, there is an emotional connection.
If I had 3 kids I'd take whatever escapism I could get (father of two here)
Rog is the best interviewer. Phil is a eloquent speaker. So smart and personable on both sides.
Leeds fan here. I have to admire what Phil Parkinson has acheived at so many clubs, Wrexham are fortunate to have him. I've an idea the 2 teams will meet in the future.
Got to play each other eventually
👍cheers 5RCBiker.good luck in the play off final to the premier league pal
@@Pete-go9wl We are LUFC, so we are bound to cock it up! See you in the Championship!
Wonderful interview. Parky usually gives a simple answer to the simple questioned asked. You got him to open up. Fantastic interviewing skills, Rog.
I think this might be the best interview you've ever done, great show! Phil is an absolute legend.
Players in Vegas and staff golfing in Spain. Pretty Decent post-promotion fun for all it sounds like.
Up the Town!
Great interview. Parky is something special. See you in Vancouver Phil.. can't wait for the adventure.
Rog, awesome interview as always. I really enjoy your work, thank you!
Parky, all I can say is thank you so much. You have delivered and more. You give appreciation to the Wrexham Lager Stand after each game without fail which means everything to that particular group of fans. What a legend
You are such a great interviewer and you bring out the best in your guests! Keep up the good work.
He is brilliant
What a lovely guy Phil is, good lucky in the future with Wrexham, up the town 👏🏴
Thanks for another excellent interview Rog. Certainly up there with your best.
Love your technique, relaxing style, leading and inquistive questions resulting in your guests talking freely, openly and honestly too.
Phil is indeed a great manager and continued good fit. So pleased he was persuaded to come.
Let's hope his continued best endeavours during the coming months come to fruition so we can all another fantastic season.
What a bunch of legends! It is my dream in this life to have Phil Parkinson give me a team talk with all the fixins (emphasis on the f-bombs, of course)!.
He'd make a mint on Cameo. If he ever retires I'm sure people would pay for him to yell at them, and consider it money well spent. I would.
You can see the respect the players have for Parky from the doc. In the last episode we were 4-0 down at Stockport at 1/2 time and back in the dressing room Boyle and Lee were arguing about one of the goals and there was quite a bit of unrest. Parky walks in and firmly says 'no more talking' and the dressing room immediately fell silent.
Simply outstanding!
Love this guy and his team for what they have done for my hometown and the community of Wrexham.
I literally can’t get enough off these!
Rog, is soooo good!
More and more content please 😊
He could have interviewed Phil on the phone book and I would have listened....Phil is really a class act.
That’s was a nice intro . I love Phil he was one of ua Lancashire lad born in chorley. And I live in leyland . Well done Phil . And good luck for next season sir
I love these interviews, and Phil Parkinson what a guy! I love the way he’s playing down their expectations for next year….
Just get him booked in for next May
Rog, broken record from Boston here, fantastic interview! What a humble human Super Phil Parky is. I’ll try to remember and get a Poopsie Pizza next time I’m in Pembroke. Thanks for another great one!
He is amazing. I really learn a lot from every conversation. Never a Broken Record. I really value your responses
@@rogbenn all Poop(sie) aside, you’re the best! No matter who you have on, it’s guaranteed to be great. Speaking of great pizza places, looking forward to that famous LiverPOOP supporter coming on tomorrow!
@@rogbenn just received (Re) Born in The USA. Only ordered it yesterday! Looking forward to it. My guess is the intro will be brilliant! 😉
The Phil Parkinson locker room is a classic now. It's appreciated world wide and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Needs a couple of pictures on the wall. Love this guy
I have been watching a lot of soccer (football) lately in the Champions League since Welcome to Wrexham, which has been awesome, except for trying to understand the rules. I can't wait for the season to start so I'll actually get to watch Wrexham matches live.
Wonderful questions Rog
Fantastic interview Rog! I love the fullness of your opening monologue introductions. Keep being your fabulous self and hope you get to Vancouver this July.
I’m sure the game between Wrexham and the WhiteCaps will be a sellout.
from a Wrexham fan in Vancouver
Brilliant interview! Cheers, PJ in Sydney
Love me some Parky. Except when I watch the show I have to mute it if he's on screen because my daughter counts all the F bombs LOL
Best interview ever on MiB!!! 👍
Watching and enjoying the interview from Berkeley, CA
Being in that super close finish last year with not where every game counted, especially at the end of the season, I am sure that helped with their strong finish this season because of what they went through last year.
Next season is going to be real tough. Some very competitive and excellent teams in division one. The right recruitment of new signings will need to be bang on, if we are going to be competitive and aim to have at least any chance of a play off spot.
I hope Phil’s polo is foreshadowing of the uniform supplier for Wrexham in L1!
Great interview
WREXHAM WREXHAM WREXHAM
Phil cursing makes it feel so real. He’s exactly how an American would imagine an English manager to be. Don’t squash this Disney.
heck, that's how most coaches in the US talk in the locker room...lol
Phil's Salty language when the team is not performing is hilarious! Yet totally acceptable in elite sports with all.rhe pressures and responsibilities. Totally fine in a Documentary on Wales, even in America and around the World! But I can't imagine it would even be allowed on a mainstream American Football programme! Welcome to Fcking Wrexham! 😂
Mark howard is always the bridesmaid.
Great interview. But how in the world did you get a Fortaleza pennant? I wasn't definitely not expecting to see that
i was there during the Confederations Cup. Loved it and Recife
Phil swearing is just a form of punctuation
He does look very relaxed!!! Don't agree with everything he does but Results don't lie!!!! Can they get 3 in a row?
It will really depend on the quality they can find in the transfer market. Wrexham, though they pay, they don't overpay. They find quality people for the dressing room. If they aren't there for the price they need, they will shore up, and go for it the year after. But if there are 4-5 gems at a reasonable price like McClean, Evans, Fletcher, and Okonkwo, they'll go for it. The documentary may attract the Lee/Ollie type player to take less for more exposure. The only expectation in the Town/City next year is to have a winning record and not fighting relegation. Parky has the right expectations for a good two year leeway. If they battle at all for the playoff, Parky might be around for a long while.
❤
Welcome to film production...get on with it.
John Oliver is nothing without you....IYKYK
I enjoyed this, but why laugh loads at some of the things Phil mentions when plainly it's not a funny quote?
Yeah, but ITFC is a better story which these muppets will never discuss.
Looks like someone is salty
