This is my first post here, so hello to everyone. :)
As my name suggests, I have supported the Latics all my life since the mid-seventies so have seen it all and to be quite honest apart from the first couple of years in the Premiership, I started to find it all quite dull and just a big excuse for the bottom half of the league to fund the top six and there european money making exploits … we were never really playing for anything for most of the season, until we needed our great escape routine, but all that did was start the cycle all over again.
As I stood to clap the lads at the final whistle at the Emirates I thought forward to next year and suddenly it was something to actually look forward to ….. the prospect of matches where any team could win, the local derbies, the chances of some young homegrown talent playing for the Latics again …… it would all start to mean something again.
I hope the manager stay, I hope we keep our players, but the reality of it is that we probably won’t – unless the draw of playing in Europe keeps them around until the January window opens ….. but what a chance to build a new team of heroes to support, the chance to see what this club and its supporters are really about.
Me and my three boys will be there next year come what may – supporting the Latics in what could be a brilliant year of football. Forget the Sky hype about the EPL, we are going back to real football !!!!

Great post
Not sure if still on a high after winning the cup but can honestly say I don’t feel even 90 percent as gutted as I thought I would be after going down. It almost feels like a relief.
Looking forward to tomorrow to show my appreciation for the players and manager, cannot wait to see them parading the cup around the ground and I’m already looking forward to what will hopefully be an exciting and fruitful campaign next year ( just hope my enthusiasm isn’t dampened by loss of too many players over the summer and we make the right managerial appointment if Martinez decides to move on to pastures new)
Lancashire derbies against Blackburn, Blackpool, Bolton and Burnley.
Trips to Yorkshire to play Barnsley, Doncaster, Huddersfield, Leeds, Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday – there isn’t a single Premier League team in Yorkshire!
That should cut the mileage down.
I think that should be our song for tomorrow:
Que sera sera
Whatever will be will be
We’re going to Barnsley

Real football indeed rather than a league set up to make as much money as possible for the Top Bores and the rest there to make the numbers up.
Great post well done!
