Once again, vespers is postponed due to extra time.
No one prays until the final whistle.

Here at The Cloister, we’re celebrating Wrexham’s win like New Year’s Eve — hard and steady. It’s the cleanup we’re dreading. Happy New Year, 2026 everyone!

Here at The Cloister, we're up — barely. It was a night. Now, we're muttering amongst ourselves. Try as we might, we can't understand why Brazil is playing the Rovers. We were expecting — oh, never mind. It's that other kit. Now, where's that coffee?

Here at The Cloister, we wouldn't mind getting a Longman post-match sport bra. We wouldn't. Really.

Here at The Cloister, we're still hoping for a Wrexham comeback — what with that beautiful header from Moore. Moore, please. We need Moore of that!

Here at The Cloister, we're not surprised. We're fond of Patrick Bamford — he was a force to reckon when he played for Leeds. We hoped the rumors were true when talk of him joining Wrexham filled the transfer mill. We're sure he'd look great in red.

Here at The Cloister, our A.I. Brother Rafi just pointed out that "crappy" is only an "s" away from "scrappy." Needless to say, he's been turned off.

Here at The Cloister, we warn calling anyone "master" opens the door (cough!) to silly word puns. However, A.I. Brother Rafi continues to offer commentary on the match but no options on what to "hold on to" for 70 minutes.

Here at The Cloister, we have a pre-match talk show of our own. A.I. Brother Rafi is giving his take on Wrexham matches. After Wednesday's flat performance v. Hull City, his take on today's match v. Watford left most of us wondering if he'll be asking for tickets to the World Cup.

Here at The Cloister, we're reminded of Ted Lasso's season 2, when AFC Richmond drew most of their matches, not unlike Wrexham seems to be doing this season. A point is nothing to sniff at, but it's not as exciting as 3. Feels more like a rerun than a good episode.

Here at The Cloister, we love having closure. Which is why we were glad to see two former #WxmAFC players sit for a chat to talk about life after Wrexham. It was a bittersweet episode of the #Fozcast, but one which left plenty of questions answered. Well done, lads!

A win! At last. Still no Kop. Three points won at home. With a hell of goal by our Man of the Match: George Thomason. Oh, we're grateful for this great game of football. Here at The Cloister we wish everyone a happy, safe, and delicious Thanksgiving.

Here at The Cloister, we're grateful for Broadhead's goal. We'd be grateful for a second. Or third. Heck! We're just grateful.

Here at The Cloister, we're grateful for mid-week matches. It helps get us to the weekend, endure long family dinners, that family member with the Q-Anon conspiracy theories, and that uncle who should know better. A Wrexham win would be nice too. We're just grateful.

Here at The Cloister, some mumbling's been heard in the common room: "consolidation and January transfer window. Otherwise, it's going to be a long, long winter." When asked who started such heresy, all eyes turned to the ceiling. Hmph!

Here at the Cloister, we can't understand a word you're saying, but no matter. Tonight, you are Scotland heroes (Kenny McClean Kieran Tierney), and we can't wait to give you a proper welcome to the US next year!
