    Yep you're right we didn't. I was thrown by Fosters' terrible memory and my refusal to look or care about our results under Hodgson

    Yes, absolutely no reason he was frozen out and told to steer clear of an already rancid squad. Absolute ********. He knows full well why he was told to go early, and he knows full well why the club hold him in the regard they do. Weapon.

    He did play for them in 2005 on loan. Strange though he wants to carry on playing though. Richard Lee got him an amazing contract with Newcastle at the start of the season, but he pulled out of signing for them. Role on 6 months and he's signing for a National League club!!

    But I suppose the platform for him to interview Wade Wilson in full Deadpool outfit was too good to miss out on.

    There's no way that's a genuine post from the man/boy himself, surely ?

    I think I lost a lot of respect for Foster after we lost 8-0 to Abi Dhabi. Losing by eight is hard enough to accept, but this grinning idiot smiling and making light of it suggesting they had some amazing players etc. really put a lot of fan's in an even worse mood. This, of course coming from the man who conceded a goal after 45 seconds, then gave away a penalty a minute or so later.

    Wasn't he telling anyone who would listen recently that he didn't miss football at all and was glad to be out of it?

    All it took to change his mind was a starring role in a Disney+ series and the boost of YouTube subscribers that will undoubtedly come with it. This is a man who will turn 40 in a couple of weeks. Genuinely pathetic stuff.

    I'm a little older than Foster but I have no idea what "Baller" means? Does he trawl through social media to pick up on the lingo? A typical conversation would be one that a "zommer" would almost certainly understand.

    I think it means someone who has all the flicks and tricks in which case not sure Haarland can be called that as such.

    More of a powerhouse beast like striker who knows how to score a goal or two.

    TBH I think almost everyone who plays the game has him as captain...

    Looks like the Wrexham fans are not impressed. Was at fault for the first two goals yesterday.

    After the abuse Foster got on Saturday for conceding 5 goals, he’s just announced his retirement from professional football.

    Hilarious. Couldn’t hack League Two. This man was starting for us in the PL not so long ago.

    I'll never have a problem with Foster as he was great for us in a couple of spells at the club for the vast majority of the time.

    Some players just don't know when to retire though. If they love playing so much, they carry on dropping down the leagues. I remember Ian Rush and Ian Wright dropping so fast going from a high level to the lower leagues in just a year or so. Closer to home, we've seen it with Deeney, Cleverley, Livermore and now Foster.

    Have you seen to goodbye video he did for the Wrexham fans?. “After the fifth goal, I thought to myself, I should be saving these”. Classic Ben.

    Maybe the reason he's making so many mistakes in League Two is because he can't even be bothered to train and would rather hang around in America promoting himself and his YouTube channel until a couple of days before the start of the season.

    If he knuckled down, put the work in and committed himself he could easily be a decent keeper at that level. The truth is that he can't be arsed and sees football as a second job that has become an inconvenience. Quitting at the first sign of trouble, leaving your club having to replace you tw0 games in and making out like you're being selfless and doing them a favour is absolutely pathetic behaviour.

    Spent the summer doing his social media crap, put in some horrendous performances for Wrexham, decided he couldn't be bothered anymore. Could have retired in the summer and given his club a whole window to find someone but now they've been given 10 days to find a replacement. What a fool.

    I wonder if his retirement closes the door on Hollywood for him?

    Just seen their results this season so far. Absolute comedy. Like reading Sunday league results in the Watford Observer.

    Still a better keeper than Bachmann though, obvs.

    I guess from their point of view at least it is now abx not September but yes does leave Wrexham short although the fans don’t seem too bothered.
