Your Wrexham v PNE Thirst Section podium is IN. 🔥 🏆 Joe Worrall 🥈 Danny Imray & Ben Whiteman 🥉 Callum O’Hare Commanding. Powerful. The man is issuing instructions with his entire body. The Thirst Section is ready to follow orders. YES, SIR. 🫡💦 #WTSMOTM #WxmThirstSection #WxmAFC #AskWxm

JOE. WORRALL. EXCUSE ME, SIR. 🥵🔥

One goal, one assist, and now he's directing traffic with the authority of a man who has personally reorganised Preston's afternoon.

That torso is glorious. Upright but slightly twisting through the waist, chest broad beneath the red shirt, fabric pulling across his shoulders. His right shoulder pushing forward into that fully extended arm, creating one commanding line from chest to fingertip. The sleeve is clinging to that upper arm for dear life. Understandable.

And THAT POINT. Good LORD.

Elbow locked, forearm taut, wrist straight, index finger extended with the conviction of a man who expects immediate obedience. 🫦

His head turns sharply in the same direction, jaw clenched, neck muscles engaged, his expression all fierce concentration. He's not asking. He's DEMANDING.

His left arm is bent, hand hovering beside his hip, fingers relaxed. That contrast between the extended right arm and the casual left is doing unreasonable things to his silhouette.

Below the waist, his hips support the slight twist above, legs spread into a stable athletic stance. The white shorts sit across two powerful thighs, fabric folding as his weight settles between his feet. Knees slightly flexed, calves engaged beneath those socks, boots planted apart and ready to push off in either direction. All that upper-body command, supported by a lower half built for action.

The Thirst Section has questions.

Firstly, where exactly is he pointing, and when can we go there?

Secondly, does that broad chest, extended arm, clenched jaw and authoritative finger come with a warning label?

Thirdly, why has footballing communication suddenly made following instructions seem like an extremely attractive recreational activity?

21.3% of the vote. Entirely deserved.

Joe, darling, you scored, you assisted, and now you're issuing directions with your entire body.

We have no idea where we're going, but YES, SIR, wherever you go, we shall follow. 🫡💦

Your Wrexham v West Brom Thirst Section podium is IN. 🔥 🏆 Kieffer Moore 🥈 Ollie Rathbone 🥉 Sam Smith, Ben Whiteman & Callum Doyle One spectacular roar, two clenched fists, and forearms requiring their own pixel by pixel analysis. 🥵💦 #WTSMOTM #WxmThirstSection #WrexhamAFC #WxmAFC #AskWxm

KIEFFER. MOORE. SIR. 🥵🔥

That thunderbolt into the top corner has apparently detonated through his entire upper body, and not a single muscle has been excused from the celebration.

His torso is upright, twisting slightly, chest thrust forward beneath that red shirt. Both shoulders are pulled against the fabric, elbows bent, fists clenched so tightly you'd think he was trying to squeeze the remaining air out of West Brom's afternoon. Veins standing out along the flexed muscle of his forearms, while his fists punch forward. Those arms are doing an entirely unreasonable amount of work for a goal scored with his FOOT.

His neck is taut, tendons pronounced, head turned slightly and mouth wide open in a full-throated roar. Eyes squeezed shut, jaw stretched wide, every facial muscle committed. That is a man releasing an enormous amount of aggression in one glorious moment.

Hips slightly forward, torso braced, and the white shorts fold around his upper thighs as his legs hold him steady. No elaborate movement here. He's planted himself long enough to let the entire upper body explode. The calves and feet are out of frame, but the tension through his waist, hips and thighs is doing plenty of talking.

Meanwhile, the Thirst Section has developed an extremely scholarly interest in forearm anatomy. Several members are requesting enlarged photographic evidence. Someone has started counting visible veins. That expanded chest, those clenched fists and that spectacular roar have made respectful observation quite difficult.

Why should anyone behave normally when a man scores THAT goal and celebrates by aggressively demonstrating the structural capabilities of his own shoulders?

34% of the vote. Thoroughly earned.

Kieffer, darling, the goal was magnificent. But those forearms? That chest? That ROAR?

We are hydrating VERY respectfully. 💦

International break over. Derby struck early. Windass injured. Wrexham chasing the game for 79 minutes. Then 88' Moore rose, Rathbone pounced, and a point was SNATCHED from Derby’s hands. The Thirst Section electorate has not recovered. 🔥🥵👇 #WTSMOTM #WxmThirstSection #WrexhamAFC #WxmAFC #AskWxm

Moore got things moving early, winning a free kick that saw Langas booked on 5'. O'Hare set up Whiteman for a blocked effort, but Derby promptly broke away and Szmodics scored on 9' Extremely rude. Then Windass went down injured 🥺, forcing Rathbone on after just 15 minutes. Ekomié immediately tested Vickers, O'Hare forced another save, and Kaboré narrowly missed. O'Hare kept creating chances, setting up Worrall for a blocked effort before having one of his own blocked just before halftime.

After the restart, Ekomié supplied Moore for a shot wide, while Patterson saved Fuseini's effort as Derby looked for another. Worrall had a header blocked, and Smith and Imray arrived to freshen things up. Imray saw an effort blocked, Rathbone picked up a yellow on 71' and O'Hare won a free kick that earned Mowatt a booking before sending his own shot high and wide. Ekomié also fired over from another O'Hare pass.

Then came 88'. Moore headed the ball into Rathbone's path and Ollie finished from close range. 1–1. The man who came on because of an injury had just rescued a point. Apparently 73 minutes of unexpected Ollie was exactly what everyone needed. 🥵 Moore sent a late effort high and wide before collecting a yellow in stoppage time.

Rathbone dominated the thirst vote with 38%, his equaliser sending the electorate into entirely predictable distress. O'Hare took 20% after an afternoon of chances created, shots attempted and fouls won. Moore and Hyam shared 14%, Moore supplying the crucial headed assist while Hyam won a defensive free kick late on. Smith claimed 12% despite only arriving in the second half, while Windass still attracted 2% before injury cut his afternoon painfully short.

International break over. Ollie Rathbone reminding the Thirst Section exactly what it had been missing. 🔥

Aww! A certificate! For our respectable little rock. 😂 The WTS has documentation now. This is getting dangerously legitimate. 😁 #WxmThirstSection

Kop Square certificate from Wrexham AFC confirming a commemorative stone at the Racecourse Ground. The certificate features the Kop Square twin-dragon emblem and an image of the grey stone, engraved with two dragons holding a football above the words "WREXHAM THIRST SECTION." Text below says the stone has become part of a new chapter in the fabric of Y Cae Ras, the historic home of Wrexham AFC. The certificate is signed by CEO Michael Williamson and bears the Wrexham AFC crest.

Our Kop stone is considerably more under control than we are. 😂 We wanted to make sure everyone in the WTS would feel comfortable taking a photo with it, so we kept the thirst off the stone and went with something that belongs to all of us. Classy Kop stone. Thirsty hearts. 🐉⚽🐉 #WxmThirstSection

A design for the Wrexham Thirst Section’s Kop stone, featuring two black Welsh dragons facing each other and holding a football between them, above the words “WREXHAM THIRST SECTION” in bold black lettering on a grey stone background.

Wrexham Thirst Section @wxmthirstsection.bsky.social · 4w ago

Your Wrexham v Southampton Thirst Section MOTM. 🔥 🏆 Jacques Ekomié Top of the vote, arms up telling everyone to stay calm, while the that footballer build makes that instruction completely impossible to follow. WTS composure: 404 Not Found #WTSMOTM #WxmThirstSection #WrexhamAFC #WxmAFC #AskWxm

Our MOTM is caught mid-gesture with his whole upper body doing that infuriatingly composed athlete thing. Torso upright, shoulders set broad and slightly rotated, both arms extended out in front of him with the elbows softly bent. One forearm sits almost horizontal while the other reaches higher, palms open, fingers spread, as though he is physically trying to tell everyone to calm down while possessing exactly the build least conducive to anyone doing so.

And those arms. The fit of the short sleeves leave the shoulders and upper arms open to scrutiny, with the biceps and triceps visibly engaged just from holding the gesture. The taped wrist only adds to the footballer-at-work evidence file. His head turns into the movement rather than toward the camera, chin tucked slightly, so the whole thing reads focused and deliberate rather than posed.

Then the kit gets involved. The shirt hangs relatively loose through the torso, but the shorts have substantially less room for diplomacy. His weight is settled through one leg while the other comes forward, which loads the thighs differently and makes the muscle structure very obvious: one quad carrying the body, the other advancing underneath him. There is nothing static about it. Even while apparently asking for calm, his lower body is still walking through the moment.

Which means the Thirst Section has been presented with a man making a "steady, everyone" gesture while the shoulders, arms and thighs are submitting entirely contradictory instructions.

Sir.

We have just won.

Nobody was steady to begin with. Nobody is steady now.

And now you have raised both arms like you personally intend to relieve the cardiovascular emergency.

MOTM on the pitch, MOTM in the vote, and apparently MOTM of telling WTS to calm down while actively preventing it. 🔥🔥🔥
