    ………………… as Mark Twain said in 1897.

    I decided, on the demise of rivals, that I would not bother registering or posting on the new Cockney Latics message board. This was because I grew tired of the ” absolutely hilarious ” posts of the various multi-posters and because there wasn’t really much to say that hadn’t already been said.

    I have been forced out of retirement by the absolutely pathetic posts of people who claim to have supported the latics since time immemorial (Springfield Blue et al ). If they consider that the loss to Wolves on tuesday was such a big deal then they are lying when they claim to be a supporters at all, let alone for fifty years. I won’t bother repeating the real disasters that have befallen us over the years, because they are well documented, but the loss of one match pales into insignificance in comparison.

    Roberto Martinez is completely changing the playing style of the club. The result will be more pleasing on the eye but there are risks involved. The biggest risk is that the transformation may take too long and result in relegation. The transformation will take time because we need players who have the necessary technical ability to play the way that Roberto wants ( I don’t think we have enough of them yet ) and it will also take time to adjust. We also need fans who have patience and understand what radical changes are taking place.

    Springfield Blue and the others are charlatans because a “true” fan would feel pain and not anger after tuesday night. They would share the pain of Roberto Martinez and the players who were desperately trying to win for us. They would not attack them in such a childish, stupid, and pathetic way.

    I felt pain because, after all these years, I still feel that I am part of Wigan Athletic and I share in both it’s joy and anguish. I would invite Springfield Blue and the other consumate moaners to crawl back under their various stones – you wont be missed at “New Springfield”.

    At last……..A bit of common sense. Well said sir.

    Come on Springfield Blue – you have been online quite a while now. Can’t you think of a reply, or am I bang on with my assessment of you ?

      It is precisely because I have Latics blood flowing through my veins that I am angry at the dire performance that was presented last night. On that performance it didn’t look as if they were desperately trying to win. Martinez said that theteam were tired after playing Villa on Saturday. How my heart bleeds for them. They should try working eight hour shifts, nights on a regular basis or even going down the pit and working every hour available to bring up the family. Then they could claim to be tired!

          Time that those who don’t want to face the truth decided to go elsewhere. Whelan is running the club on a shoestring budget and look at the problems we’ve got, (sells Cattermole after saying he is going nowhere), and fans who wont wake up and recognise the danger signs. ..

          #5699

          Problems??? We’ve won 1 lost 1. Could be worse we could be LEEDS. Whelan is making sure we aren’t going to be a Leeds. Massive debts and big wage bills. He was on 5 live today saying we will ALWAYS be a se;ling club because we aren’t Liverpool or Man U.

              Of course it’s run on a budget, any club our size should be. I’d prefer that that be where Luton or Leeds ended up. We are a selling club, and the sooner you realise that, the better. When clubs come calling for our players its hard to stop them going, they usually go on to bigger clubs paying higher wages. we are a stepping stone, even Bobby admitted that this week. As for Cattermole, there was no option but to get rid if he was as disruptive as reported. When Whelan said that then there probably wasn’t the aggro off Cattermole at the time.

              The ones who should go elsewhere are people like yourself, who all they can do is moan.

                I have met you life-long fans before – went to first game in 1959 because your dad was baby sitting and couldn’t find anyone to dump you with. Second game was when we entered the league, third game when we got promoted to premier league and then occasionally when we played the “really big teams”…….. hey presto been a supporter for fifty years.

                Sorry to be a cyber-bully thirtyoneyears but I also feel pain when someone kicks Roberto in the teeth. (PS I wasn’t particularly referring to you because i didn’t read all the garbage posted but if the cap fits ………… )
