If you don’t believe me, perhaps you’ll believe Uwe himself.
Uwe Rosler: Martinez tactics helped Wigan beat Man City
By Chris Bevan BBC Sport at Etihad Stadium
Wigan manager Uwe Rosler says his tactics in the FA Cup quarter-final win over Manchester City were inspired by former Latics boss Roberto Martinez.
One of us is obviously a wind up poster, maybe even a multi!I wonder which one.
Ask your mate Griff if I am a multi !

He mentioned him in passing when he talked of playing football on the ground but that in no way implicates that Martinez deserves any credit for our win on Sunday ! You are a tedious and antagonising poster at the best of times but your latest statement is beyond belief ! :dry:
Martinez,r u watching martinez!!!!
In the immediate aftermath of one of our greatest ever victories, your first thought is to have a pop at an ex-manager who has already won the FA Cup?
What a very strange attitude to take. Not like you, to be fair. Had you had a drink? ;)[/quote]
I agree griff, he did win us the FA cup & in fairness would have kept us up had he not had bad luck with injuries to key players at various stages last season. However, following relegation he jumped ship at the first chance & for that i cant forgive. Had we have stayed up & he turned round & said “ive taken this club as far as i can its now time for a new challenge” that would not have been a problem in my eyes & i would have wished him well. Likewise if he stayed this season but failed in his attempt to get us promoted, just saying for arguments sake, i would have wished him well. At least jewell did say he would have stayed an extra season had we have gone down that day against sheffield utd.
sorry but i cant forgive him for the way he left & that is why i am thrilled to bits that my team went further than his.[/quote]Well said Runcorn, however there are some posters on here that are finding it hard to understand yours, mine and many others opinions. :huh:
I don’t know why they don’t just avoid these threads,the post title must have given them a bit of a clue as to what was to follow. If they think they can change our minds, then they are a butty short of a picnic. :whistle:[/quote]
Oh, I get it… if somebody doesn’t agree with you, they should just stay away from the thread and let you have your say, unopposed? And I’m supposed to be the one who doesn’t let people have an opinion!
Anyway, it would be a difficult policy to adopt with you John because, as Standish says, you change your view with the wind. It would be really hard working out which threads we’re supposed to read and which we’re not.

Tomorrow – why white is the new black.
Incredible!

I can confirm that, thank Christ, there is only one of Filmoss. Isn’t that enough? ;)
However, following relegation he jumped ship at the first chance & for that i cant forgive.The man has his career to think of. There is absolutely no loyalty in football, much like in many other walks of life. What right have you, or anybody else, to dictate where a manager plies his trade. Nobody would have bat an eyelid had he been sacked.
At least jewell did say he would have stayed an extra season had we have gone down that day against sheffield utd.Well, we will never know whether Jewell would have followed up on that claim or not, will we?
sorry but i cant forgive him for the way he left & that is why i am thrilled to bits that my team went further than his.Thrilled to bits? You must have some yawning gap in your life if that’s the case. ;)
I suspect, by the way, that Martinez himself is thrilled to bits that we got to the semi-final. Of course he would have liked his new employers to get there too, but I bet he was still happy that we got through.
Sorry Filmoss but Barnsley has you over a barrel on this one.
Rosler himself has stated he copied the blueprint of Martinez’s tactics from the final.
This allowed us to force them to play through the middle against our 3 CB’s and still be able to keep people forward to play them on the break.
If you dont think Martinez deserves a bit of credit on the back of that then that is up to you but it doesnt take anything away from Rosler for making the decision to use those tactics + all the good work he has done since joining the club + the players for putting out another world class performance against world class opposition.
The funny thing is I think we could play those tactics against Man City again and they would still struggle to break it down.
Maybe other teams who dont think they have the ability to get a result against them may deem it worth a punt at the same tactics.
Martinez,r u watching martinez!!!!

It’s dead easy to understand Griff, when Martinez was our manager I could see what he was trying to do just like you Standish and a few others. The football at times was brilliant and at other times was abysmal. A manager who allows his players to take a short free kick when 30 yards away from goal and within 10 secs its with our goalie, has a lot to learn. This is just one example of the shortfalls of RM, IMHO he was and is not as good as I and you made him out to be. Everton fans are already saying he has no plan B, and that’s because he is so wrapped up in his playing methodology he is too short sighted to see the obvious at times. He is crying out for a decent assistant that has been there, done that and got the tee shirt.
Perhaps I’m just an old fashioned supporter who bums up his team, managers, players etc no matter what, but when anybody leaves they just want um to fail. It’s called being a loyal supporter and like it or not there are probably more fans wanting Martinez to fail than those wanting him to succeed. I’m just going off the gangs I hang around with, but I reckon that’s a fair indication, call it the exit poll of the football world.
There are 3 regular posters on here that jump in if anybody has a go at Bobby and / or Everton. That’s you, Standish and Barnsley, the rest either don’t give a shyte or openly bear a grudge against RM.That’s where I stand, so OK, if you want to read the posts and defend RM or call the posters who have a go at him, please do, its your prerogative being a latics fan and long standing member of this board. :kiss:
From Matlock to ManU

No it isn’t being a loyal supporter it’s acting and talking like a complete child.
As is hanging round in gangs.
