This episode is a comedy of culture-clash errors, narrated mostly by Humphrey.
His bone-dry, often self-lacerating wit is exactly what the story needs to highlight its most ridiculous aspects.
(Noting without further commentary: These men are in their mid-40s.)
Its day one of Shauns holiday and Humphrey is already calling him in Tenerife.
How, you may reasonably ask, do football boots become a political nightmare?
Well, when the controversial boots in question bear the slogan Fuck the Tories!
the Conservative Party, which is currently in power in the U.K.) should go jump in the lake.
I drew two lessons from this episode.
This is all of a piece, says Humphrey, with a very British mentality ofEverything is bad.
Dont expect better for yourself.
Just get on with your life until youre dead.
This attitude is wholly unacceptable for the team as well as for Rob and Ryan.
Friends, let us gather round and hearken unto the wisdom of the one and only Ms. Susan Lucci.
After going 0-18, Lucci finally won in 1999 and was nominated a total of 21 times.
Its record of being promoted 12 times in 23 years is the inverse of Wrexhams high-points-without-a-promotion record.
The team Wrexham has to beat but hasnt yet?
Dorking beat them 3-1.
