🚨Match Report- Cheshire Cup- Crewe 2-1 Chester🚨
A youthful #CreweAlex needed an injury time, Patrick Mlynarski, winner to see off Chester last night as Gresty Road.
Russ was there to see all the action as it unfolded!

All @tcmayell this!
He might be 300 podcasts in, but that doesn't stop Stu from tagging the wrong person 😉

🚨How Have The New Signings Settled In?🚨
We're now 14 games into the league campaign, almost a third of the season, so it feels like a good time to ask - how have the new guys got on?
Russ has assessed the 6 players seasons so far!

Love being part of the pod family, massive achievement for Stu and Producer Dave! Touch of class from the club 😍
Another top class gesture from the club today.
Not many EFL clubs have the Chairman giving a signed shirt away to a fan led podcast celebrating a milestone No. Of episodes.
Thanks to all at #CreweAlex for today! No better club, in my eyes

That free kick by Jordan Gibson, 20 yards out and 20 yards over the bar, may well be the worst thing I’ve ever seen a professional footballer do at Gresty Road #CreweAlex

Something isnt working with our attack. Id like to see Tabs back onto the RW where, imo, he's best. White or Holicek as the no.10, March back through the middle.
Shoehorning March and Tabiner into positions they're not best in isnt working

I would also be depressed af if I had to spend the next hour talking to Martin Keown
I admitted last week that I’ve stopped enjoying Match of the Day. And this week’s programme illustrated exactly why.
Just look at the way Mark Chapman opens the show. Flat. Lifeless. Almost uninterested.
Football is about passion, enthusiasm, banter, anger, love, joy and s somehow managed to package its highlights into a programme almost entirely devoid of emotion.
Chappers, as he’s affectionately known, comes across well on the radio. But on Match of the Day, he looks bored rigid. Like the last person on earth you’d want to sit down with for a conversation about football.
To be fair, Steph Houghton and Martin Keown did a reasonable job. But as somebody pointed out in response to my previous post, where’s the humour? Where’s the fun? Where’s the sheer joy of football?
Everything is so painfully serious. The pundits deliver their analysis within such tight parameters that the whole thing feels sterile.
Bill Shankly famously said football wasn’t a matter of life and death. It was more important than that.
But the real point is that people love football because it makes them feel alive.
Watching Match of the Day these days is like observing a post-mortem conducted by a forensic pathologist who regretted his career choice years ago and is now just counting down the days until he can collect his pension.
Surely, in the post-Lineker era, there must be a better way of presenting football highlights? Give us people who love the game. People who can laugh, joke, argue and get carried away. Give us proper analysis, certainly, but make it feel like the conversations we have with our mates down the pub.
And for those chauvinistic throwbacks who complained about women presenting men’s football, let me say this: of Match of the Day’s three presenters, Chapman is comfortably the worst. Give me Kelly Cates or Gabby Logan any day of the week.
Someone needs to have a word in Chappers’ ear. Tell him to bring some of his radio personality to the television studio.
Because his dry, bored, dead-eyed delivery is sucking the life out of a programme devoted to a sport that should be anything but lifeless.
Football is supposed to be fun. For God’s sake, can somebody tell Match of the Day?

🚨Match Report - Chesterfield 5-1 Crewe🚨
An absolute nightmare of a 1st half saw #CreweAlex 5 down before they really knew what had happened and who they were supposed to be picking up.
Callum tries to dissect the failings!

Just gonna apologise now for jinxing a couple of these 🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
🚨Who Has Been Crewe's Player Of The Season So Far?🚨
It's a question that, if you asked any 2 #CreweAlex fans you'd likely get two different answers.
So Russ has used the Fotmob, stats based approach to come up with the top 3, so far!

Quite a raw, rattled reaction from immediately after the final whistle
🚨Match Report- Exeter 2-0 Crewe🚨
A report of two halves. Firstly a look at the man in the middle and, putting it politely- questions his decision making ability.
Then, what did Crewe not do, that they've been good at so far this yr!

Genuinely, what is the point of a fourth official?
Fair play to the ref, hard to make a living when you’re registered blind #crewealex
