Fil, At the risk of sounding superior, there was no egg on my face. Let me explain why …
When Roberto explained the reason he played the youngsters in the cup matches, I must admit that I was disappointed we didn’t play our strongest team but… I supported them anyway and only expressed my disappointment in private.
When Callum Macmanaman was first called up to play in the first team, I remember commenting to my son that Martinez rated him very highly but personally I couldn’t see it. A few games later I changed my opinion and commented that he may have something after all. The rest is history.
When we won our way through to the final, I thought privately that we would be beaten but I kept these thoughts to myself and publicly proclaimed that we would win at a canter. I went to London, for four days, determined to enjoy the experience whatever the outcome. You can imagine my unbridled joy when the miracle happened.
What I am trying to say Fil is that we all have the same doubts and frustrations but some of us have learned to choose our words carefully. Once something is said it can’t be unsaid and there is always the danger that you could make yourself look a proper chump.
History was made at Wembley but unfortunately our relegation is now part of our history as well. The next page is still blank so have faith – it may tell of our return to the Premier League or European glory :)
Apologies if this post is too positive for you, it’s just my old-fashioned set of values which have no place in modern society. ;)
At the risk of getting sycophantic, I am starting to get worried now. when I read 99% of posts, I think… I would have written that, word for word.
Again, on this occasion, I couldn’t agree more with everything in that post.
Would you like to go for a drink sometime? ;) :blush:[/quote]
Griff, according to Aesop a man is known by the company he keeps. Your street-cred would hit rock bottom if you were to be seen with me. You have already been unfriended by Fil for making the offer. ;)

I sometimes go over to the ‘Reasoned Debate Corner’ in the Brick for a brief conflab with Griff and his matchday crew. He knows what I am about really ! Good set of lads ! :)

Has ‘Ye Olde One’ got a copy of ‘ARSED’ ? That is the question ! ;)

To be honest I have never been one for reading books. I do have various ‘Coffee Table’ books that can be opened at any page for concise reading sessions but on the whole I have never been into reading !
That just reminded me of Wigan’s new signature tune !
