Okay, so earlier today I got curious about where Blackpool and Wrexham actually sit in their leagues right now. You know, after all the buzz around Wrexham lately. Fired up my laptop – took forever to boot up ’cause I haven’t restarted it in weeks. Typical.
Starting the Search
Opened my usual browser and just typed “blackpool wrexham standings” straight into Google. Didn’t bother going to any specific football site first. Figured the quickest way was just seeing what popped up.
Scrolled past a couple ads at the top – they always look like actual results at first glance, annoying. Finally spotted a table snippet right there in the search results. Saw Blackpool sitting somewhere around mid-table in League One. Not great, not terrible, just… there. Like when your phone battery’s at 47%.
Digging Deeper for Wrexham
Problem was, the initial results kinda lumped both together awkwardly. Wrexham’s in a completely different league, obviously. Had to click through to a proper league table site – you know the one everyone uses, won’t name it. Page loaded with so many ads, my browser choked for a solid five seconds.
Filtered down to League Two. Man, had to scroll way further than I expected! Kept thinking “they should be higher.” Finally found ’em. Sitting prettier than I thought! Higher up than Blackpool relatively speaking in their own pond. Felt like finding your missing earring behind the dresser – weirdly satisfying.
Why Even Check?
Honestly? I got into this ’cause my mate Dave kept ranting at the pub last weekend about Wrexham “overtaking everyone.” Dude’s never even been to Wales. So yeah, mostly wanted to shut him up with cold numbers next time I see him. Took screenshots just in case he tries arguing. Bet him a pint they wouldn’t crack top four this early – might owe him now, dammit.
Almost closed the tab before realizing I should note down exact positions. Typed into my notes app: “Blackpool – middle of nowhere, League One. Wrexham – surprise package, League Two.” Real scientific, I know. Didn’t even write down numbers ’cause let’s be real, I’ll forget the specifics by tomorrow anyway.
