    Because we pay to watch games and most games have been terrible to watch.

    So your dreams are still haunted by Roberto.

    It’s hard to recover from a broken heart.

    Thank you for reminding us of your foolishness.

    I think I understand – you must be finding it difficult to think of something positive to say about Coyle.

    “We know that if we keep knocking on the door it will fly open and someone will be on the end of three or four goals,” said Coyle.

    Brendan Rodgers also has a sense of humour – he played Flanagan and Allen today.

    You do have to be careful.

    There are a lot of obsessive people around here.

    It must be a Wigan disease.

    Everybody’s talking about Roberto – as you know.

    He’s playing Brendan Rogers again tomorrow. And this time it’s for a place in the top three.

    The nation holds its breath!

    Are we running a coach to the game?

    England U21 forward Will Keane has also gone back to train with Manchester United after spending the last week with Southgate’s squad following his return to fitness.

    A loan has been postponed awaiting an examination of his injury.

    It depends what you mean by properly.

    The revenue from the Premier League must dwarf the revenue from the national team. Which should they protect?

    in reply to: Wigan v Brighton #123612

    Good of you to take an interest, Mutty.

    in reply to: Wigan v Brighton #123609

    I’m sure that we will continue to see team rotation until beyond Christmas, though I haven’t really identified a League team and a ‘midweek’ team.

    And we may have another forward soon, Will Keane. We should then have enough players to meet the challenge.

    The draw for the Third Round of the FA Cup should take place on 8 December too!

    England winning the World Cup is as likely as, say, Hull becoming the UK City of Culture.

    But if Hull can win that title, then we may yet see England running round the pitch with the World Cup.

    And we could even see Wigan as a future UK City of Culture.

    The FA are in charge of the Premier League. It broke away from the Football League in 1992.

    jr is right – there must be hundreds of better pictures of Roberto you could use!

    in reply to: 5-4-Friday… American Englands #123574

    You’re quite right; it was apparently published in 1882.

    Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900); I wonder what career his parents had in mind for him when they chose those names.

    Some of the American spellings were deliberately introduced by Noah Webster;

    “He believed fervently in the developing cultural independence of the United States, a chief part of which was to be a distinctive American language with its own idiom, pronunciation, and style.

    “One facet of Webster’s importance was his willingness to innovate when he thought innovation meant improvement. He was the first to document distinctively American vocabulary such as skunk, hickory, and chowder.

    “Reasoning that many spelling conventions were artificial and needlessly confusing, he urged altering many words: musick to music, centre to center, and plough to plow, for example.”
