I would love the World Cup to come to England, but to be fair the Ruskies haven’t had it before and their bid involves a lot of rebuilding. It sounds pretty exciting and there is a lot of football history there.

Obviously there is the usual stuff about grounds not being finished on time, mafia involvement and hooliganism, but we really need to get our own house in order before we start chucking stones. Brum/Villa fans were a great example the night before the bidding took place!

Obviously it is all about money, but the Premier League does itself no favours by going on about ours being the richest league in the world.

Qatar is a different story and really points to FIFA corruption at its worst. Surely the obvious choice would be the Aussies – look how far they have come in the last decade.

To blame the BBC for the fiasco is nonsense. We all know about FIFA and its backhanders. They make the Russian mafia look like the Women’s Institute.

I’m close to 50 now and I don’t think I’ll see another World Cup in England in my lifetime. Then again I never thought I’d see the Latics in the Prem – and that’s all I really care about.

The only thing embarrassing is the fans who say they are embarrassed by the team.

Enfield at home was my first game and I have wintnessed many miserable performances since then – although I was drunk for most of the 80s.

I can understand people getting frustrated with the way we are playing, but I think it all came together for about 20 minutes last neet. That certainly didn’t look ugly to me!

When Bob came there were a lot of expectations about us playing fantasy football and it has disappointed people that we have not clicked.

Man City were solid in defence and midfield and have Tevez to take advantage of mistakes.

We don’t have their resources, but hopefully a couple more positive results will lead to us getting close to our potential.

You are right about people moaning when we win ugly, they are the same people who moaned about us winning under Bruce. Now they want him back!

We could stand or fall under Bob’s style of play and, despite the frustrations, I am willing to support him. If it works it could be happy days, but there has to be some pain

We didn’t play very well against a team with an excellent defence and a lethal finisher.

We’ll be better tomorrow and on Saturday.

All I have to say is Liam Ridgewell. Charley will feel at home with that sack of shiete

If Zog and Figs don’t want to play for us any more let them go and spend the money on a replacement

That was a bit petulant. I don’t need to go and support another team because I support this one.

I will never be ashamed to support Wigan Athletic. I am Wigan born and bred and I am proud to be associated with the team. I have supported them through some pretty bad times over the past 30 odd years. This is nothing to some of the bad times. We will get better and if we don’t I will still be there, proudly wearing my colours – never ashamed of them or of being a Wiganer.

YOU should be ashamed of yourself for posting such a ridiculous comment.
