For a man who has never lost an argument/debate in the whole of his human life, is doing well at losing debates/arguments with me every time he gets in them, and then after trying to one over me and failing and I prove him wrong he hides his head then comes out with, ‘I’ve never lost an argument in my life’ , To which I know is false as he loses them a lot to me, though I would let you all know this and Griff, Why will you no longer respond to me, is it solely because I contantly beat you in arguments and you feel bad about it or just because you dont want others to know?
James, the full stop looks like this . and can be found on the next key to the comma. The full stop is used at the end of sentences and is not to be confused with commas.
However, I suspect that you are not as ignorant as you make out and that it is a pathetic attempt to prevent people profiling you correctly. ;)
Yes, but have you forgotten that he makes £60m a year out of the club, and if he wasn’t involved, we’d be playing Champions League football by now?Have you included the pie money in that £60m ?
That’s the latest rumour….
I’d snap their hands off if it’s true. He’s a good keeper, but you could get a good replacement in for considerably less.
Care to name one or two plal?[/quote]
Bring Roy Carroll back from Denmark :shock:
Because he gets paid about three million quid a year, and he wouldn’t consider playing for Wigan.Very clear, concise and accurate answer but ……………… don’t you sometimes feel it is groundhog day? How many times must this answer be put forward before it registers?
more money in Dave’s back pocket?
and bob will get next to nothing for new players.Is your avatar meant to be ironic? :?
The Stoke lot seem to think it’s true but some of them also seem to think we paid between 8 and 9 mill for him ourselves????Where are they getting that info from?
We paid £4m depending on goals and appearances.
£10m is a fantastic deal on our part BUT we MUST invest it in 2 other strikers if the rumour that Fuller is coming here as part of the deal is false.
Fantastic deal? – I think you are getting Hugo confused with either Koumas, Kapo or Scotland
Articles like this, and the replies of all the anti Latics, makes me realise how much I want this PL crusade to continue.
Its not only about the football and the craic of matchday anymore, its about pi**ing off all these clowns. Long may it continue.‘LITTLE WIGAN, TAKING THE P*SS’
Exactly – why should we apologise or justify our presence in the Premier League? – we’ve earned it ……………….. be proud and exract the proverbial.
Smashing comments by Graeme Taylor during the United-Leeds match commentary on radio the other day.Basically he was saying that Watford are in the trouble they’re in because they thought they were better and bigger than they actually are when they got in the Premier League, and started spending silly money that they haven’t got.
In familiar tones he was saying how Watford is only a small town of 80,000 and people there support bigger clubs – Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea etc. He now, with hinsight, wishes they’d been more careful and taken on things that they could have afforded.
He didn’t mention Wigan at all – but in my head I kept thinking how we actually were doing the things they should have.
And we are still in the Premier League without financial worries – while Watford are back down the leagues and in deep financial doodah.
Great post but heads and walls spring to mind.
The trouble is that some people can’t see what an amazing success story Wigan Athletic under Dave Whelan has been. It’s a bit like going to school; you only realise what a great time you had later in life.
Enjoy the success while you can – I doubt it will last forever but at least there will still be a Wigan Athletic when the bubble bursts thanks to some prudent management.
No, it’s just that some of us are realist’s. We are nowhere near good enough. Pi** poor, in fact.I predict that over the next few weeks, we will drop further down, thus putting more necessity on the need for new signings. January will make or break our season, make no mistake.
Can you honestly not see how deep we are in the sh*t this season?
I suggest you change your username to “stopped clock”, you spout that much spurious drivel that you can’t fail to be correct at least twice a day. At the end of the season you will no doubt bore us with “I told you so” because you have now covered every possible scenario. :?
You can usually guess peoples ages by the music they listen to and their opinions on who was the best guitarist they ever heard, or the best footballer they ever saw etc.
I am not entirely sure why this is, it could be that they are not open-minded or that they prefer to live in a bygone age. Older people like myself are notorious for living in the past and have difficulty accepting the fact that Bert Weedon, Jimmy Hendrix or Eric Clapton are no longer the best guitarists that ever lived. The truth of the matter is that they were the best around in their time, but now there are sixteen year old kids that would give them a run for their money.
Nathan Ellington and Jason Roberts were good for Wigan when they were here but their time has been and gone. We have moved on and are now looking to sign players of a higher calibre (cue Jason Scotland appreciation society). As much as I liked Nathan Ellington and Jason Roberts, they were never as good as some people appear to remember.
Can we get back to my original point please…Mr soundbite says in an interview with Sky Sports that he aspires to play in European football and he will, to quote ” Put his money where is mouth is ” if we do qualify ! Well I will stick my neck out here and say that there is no way on Earth will we get into Europe with the quality of our squad and therefore that makes his promise of spending a somewhat empty one does it not ? Or can you still not see what I am saying ! If he wants his aspirations to come to fruition then he is gonna have to reach for his wallet or it will not happen ! Either that or keep his mouth shut !Don’t make me type it all out again.
When he says he will open his wallet and back European football, he means he will open it on behalf of Wigan Athletic. Now we all know that he owns Wigan Athletic so it will be his money that he spends.
BUT: Like every other owner, the money will not be a gift but will be a LOAN which will be on the club’s books. When Mr Whelan subsequently sells the club, he will want his money back just like Mr Gaydamak did.
The reason he says he will open his/our wallet if we get into Europe is because he knows that there will be a cash return and there will be no chance of it disappearing down a black hole.
In Summary: Ignore the ungrateful village idiots Mr Whelan and carry on letting us live a dream that we can afford.
you just can not see the wood for the trees can you?:roll:
And there’s me thinking your username was in honour of Bobby Martinez when in fact you are a disciple of Bobby Ball. :mrgreen:
In my opinion, Scotland had a good first half on Saturday, and served as a decent foil for the two wide men cutting in.That’s what he’s there to do, and why there is a left footer on the right wing and right footer on the left wing. For everyone who has been saying we need a right winger, maybe so, but he’ll still be played on the left. The whole style of play adopted by Martinez is detached from the traditional English game of the winger beating a man then putting in a cross for the big centre forward to get his head to it.
The idea is for the two wide men to feed off the target man, cut in, and be able to get shots on goal -effectively creating 4-3-3 in attack. The full backs are supposed to push forward, and cover virtually the entire touchline. Whether Melchiot is still up to this, is a matter for debate, but Martinez is allegedly looking for two new full backs in January.
I haven’t seen enough of Gomez to pass judgement on him…..in fact, I don’t even know why I’m bothering trying to explain this, as it will just be discounted as rubbish, and I’ll be accused of looking through rose tinted glasses.. 4-4-2 is the way forward. Hoof it forward. Everyone brought in this season is useless. Martinez out. Whelan spend some money etc etc.
Great post, it’s good to actually see an informed argument about our football. I agree almost entirely with this observation although, like you I can’t argue too much with Piengravy’s points.
It is a simple matter however to swap wingers over in a game and put them on their “correct” wings if plan A does not work. We would need players in the middle who could make good use of crosses from the by-line however and I am not convinced that we have them in the squad yet.
