Welcome to Wrexham season 2 official trailer
Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney jokingly told Notts County striker Macaulay Langstaff to “f*** off” in the latest episode of their docuseries ‘Welcome to Wrexham.’ The pair made the remark in an episode that saw the Welsh side face their league rival in a must-win game.
The game in question saw both teams face off last season, with the clubs both having 100 points apiece at the top of the table. A win would prove to be a vital three points for either side in the hunt for promotion to League Two.
Addressing the magnitude of the occasion on the latst episode of the docuseries, both Reynolds and McElhenney were filmed discussing Wrexham’s opponents and in particular the team’s star forward Langstaff.
“Macaulay Langstaff, he can f*** off,” McElhenney was filmed saying, with Reynolds interjecting: “Yeah, god that guy is good. He’s handsome as f***. He looks like he could be in Peaky Blinders.” Taking issue with the co-owners comments, McElhenney simply replied: “bulls***.”
Speaking later on in the episode, Reynolds expressed his nervousness ahead of the match. “I have never in my f***ing life been this wound up for a match,” he said. “What happened before with Halifax [who defeated Wrexham 3-1 prior to the game] created a sort of vortex, a vice grip of anxiety, a dread.”
The Hollywood actor’s nerves would be tested further during the game which saw Notts County gain the lead. Wrexham would then go on to win the tie 3-2 in dramatic fashion, with former Premier League goalkeeper Ben Foster saving a late penalty to help claim all three points.
“It felt like a classic Wrexham moment,” Reynolds said following the win. “Let’s find some f***ing way to extract the maximum amount of terror and anxiety and edge of your seat s**t out of this thing.”

The crucial win would help Wrexham on their way to winning a first league title in 45 years. It would also be the team’s first promotion back into League Two following a 15-year absense.
The Red Dragons would earn 111 points, breaking a new record for the most points earned in a season, with Notts County finishing in second place with 107 points. Notts County were also awarded promotion at the end of the season and recently faced their rivals in both team’s last outing.
The occasion saw Wrexham enjoy yet another win, with late goals from Elliot Lee and Ollie Palmer securing a 2-0 victory at Meadow Lane. The win sees the club sat third in the table and on the same number of points as their opponents who are narrowly ahead on goal difference.
Wrexham has enjoyed success since being promoted having won eight, drawn six and lost just two games so far. The team is next in action when they play Mansfield Town on Saturday in the FA Cup.
