        from a Derby fan on Derbymad

        Hind-sight imbues great wisdom but let’s face it this result was clearly written on the Fickle Mistress Football’s chalk-board. When SMcC said this would be a different game to the last New Year’s day one I did wonder if that was the right message to give out. WAFC are the best side to have visited the iPro this season; full of great energy and movement from first to last, they pressed Derby very high up; for example at one point in the game, Butland received the ball back from a centre-half 4 times in the space of 5 seconds as the Wigan men harried and closed in. It always looked like a game that Wigan could win and shows that they are definitely in a false position int he table. They will be top 6 come the season’s end. Rossler clearly is a master tactician and will be able to sell his pre-match recipe to other Championship managers. That said, Wigan showed gargantuan bucket fulls of energy and athleticism and clearly have the squad to get right back up the slippery slope. Calero should have been given a pop today as a sub rather than the hapless Best who would actually struggle to find that cow’s **** with an extra-wide banjo.
        We will thank Wigan for this football lesson because today we played very poorly. Sometimes getting to the top of the table results in a bout of misplaced complacency and it showed today. :ohmy: :ohmy:

        you would of thought LMB would have posted this elsewhere :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

            Shouldn’t you be watching United on the box? You know the United you used to go and watch every week in the 70s?

            Funny what comes out when someone you know in passing comes up to you in a pub and asks you “who is that knobhead, LMB, that keeps having a pop at you for watching United when you were 7?”. Funny that, when you tell him LMB’s real name he says “Behave, is it really! He was a United fan in the 70s, I used to catch the bus with him and few others from Wigan and go to Old Trafford to watch them all the time.”

            Funny that, eh?

            Ask your contact how many times I went to old Trafford with him in the seventies, I think you may be surprised with the answer.

            I went a few times with lads I was at school with if my parents and meagre paper round money could fund it, but then again who didn’t.

            If truth be told Spurs or Celtic were my favourites in my school days but getting to their games was impossible, I was born and brought up near Springfield Park and most matches saw us sneaking in the ground, everyone in our gang were Latics fans but all had big teams they followed via MOTD, many are big Lqtics fans to this day despite the misguided loyalty we all had as kids.

            When I started work and had my own income c.1974 I had already met and was ‘courting’ my wife(Lynne) who has managed to put up with me for the following 40 years, so I wasn’t the slightest bit interested in anything other than what we did together, When we got in the league in 1978 we both have had season tickets on and off ever since, since we moved to the DW we have had family season tickets every season.

            Before we had kids and before 1st division games became all ticket we used to go all over the northwest to watch live games if Latics didn’t have a game or it was too far away for us to travel to, sometimes we would do 2 or three games a week it was our hobby, if you want to accuse me of supporting another club I should tell you about Tranmere Rovers during their rise up to the edge of the first division, because they played Friday evenings I saw most of their home games for two or more years.

            No griff, despite you wetting yourself and desperately waiting for an opportunity to ‘out’ me it has spectacularly misfired, I am sorry to disappoint you I have never been a MUFC fan and I certainly have never driven around in a car with an mini MUFC kit dangling in the back window like you used to do.

            Wow. The lady doth protest too much.

            Mini MUFC kit? Do you ever go through a single day without telling lies?

            Pathetic. Go back under your rock.

            I suggest you look at your own mates for the liar, I haven’t a clue one way or another, and honestly couldn’t give a dam, but it seems by your reply that your statement “Wow. The lady doth protest too much” has a certain amount of irony in it.

            I wont bother with an insult to finish I will leave that to you oh mighty one.

              Griff, just admit that you dived out of your chair this evening at roughly 5.55pm! I did coz I had £100 on 1-1 ! The Old Trafford memory from a couple of weeks ago but a distant bad vibe!

              I didn’t watch the game yesterday, fair play to you.

              Of the so-called big clubs, I would always prefer United to win the league. I won’t apologise for that. It doesn’t mean I use to gleefully skip through Trafford Park with a United scarf on when I was a teenager like some on here who just won’t admit it. Not that it matters, I couldn’t care less. I just hate liars and bullshitters.

                  What the frig is wrong with anyone having supported other teams in the past and also what the frig is wrong with anyone having a soft spot for another club. Jesus H we had 10,000 home fans on last week and comparing that with the 1500 to 2000 that once came to watch us that leaves a good 8 to 8500 thousand who would probably have had a soft spot or supported another club.
