Now I like to see myself as a glass half full kind of person but seeing as we’ve had only one home win since last May, don’t you think you’re being an incy wincy teeny weeny little bit over-ambitious with six home wins bewtween now and May 13th?

Unfortunately for Martinez, he doesn’t have the luxury of having players like Wenger and Guardiola have and have had, players that can pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, KILL.

Gotta admire him for trying though. Just needs to convey to players that there’s sometimes another option other than facing their own goal and passing when they receive the ball – er, going forwards and passing :blink:

A few ‘minor’ ( :blink: ) exaggerations there but 1-4 was a little flattering. Someone said on another thread that the difference was that they bagged their chances and we didn’t. True. A couple of defensive errors and a couple of dodgy ref decisions, also true.

Wasn’t the worst example of reffing in the past 36 years either. We didn’t lose the game 1-4 because of the ref. Anyone who thinks there’s some conspiracy against us as far as referees are concerned is clutching at straws. No-one’s complained about our penalty on Saturday (except quite possibly every Stoke fan)

I enjoy watching the way we play, regardless of the result. I’m no football manager and I wouldn’t tell Roberto Martinez how to do his job (his style is spot on, just need a couple of quality players to really make it work) but I have worked out that Connor Sammon is not a footballer. Sort it out Bob.

It would appear the people that think this thread is pointless or are uncomfortable with it are the ones that don’t live in the town or have switched allegiance at some stage.

Not living in the town and supporting Wigan is only the same as someone from Wigan supporting Man Utd. I have no problem with these people, long may it last. They’ll be Wigan til they die. That is unless/until they switch allegiance. However, I find the whole concept of this as being impossible. Once your club’s in your blood, it’s there forever. If it isn’t, it was never your club in the first place. You can at best be adopted. No soft spots for other clubs, no caring about who wins a game if your club isn’t involved (unless it directly affects your club), your club’s yours forever, for better or for worse.

Easier to change your woman.

Is it just me that finds that whole paragraph alittle bit ignorant?

Not a proper club? Tinpot club?

What a proud supporter you are.[/quote]

How slow are you? Jesus.

Town’s full of them. Understand it because they’re sons of United fans past (when we didn’t have a team (sic)).

We’ve not even got near to getting anything of them yet, love to see how they’d react if we did, instead of patronising little Wigan fans about how we were unlucky to have an outside of the box penalty given against us while they’re 3 up or whatever.

For what it’s worth, I thought 5-0 was a little flattering for them. Wasn’t a penalty and Sammon shouldn’t have gone, though this made little difference as he’s a Championship player at best. Reminds me a bit of Jason Roberts but without the finesse and goals, all arms and having to foul his marker to win a ball. Known in the game as ‘a handful’.

Surprised Franco did as well as he did when he came on because if Sammon gets a shirt ahead of him, I’d imagine his confidence must be shot to bits.
