Meanwhile, over at Weepdale the fans add their two penneth!

Not at all as it would seem that we are victims of our own success! Eight seasons in the Prem, an FA Cup final victory, European campaign etc and we are having to prepare ourselves for League One football less than 2 years after getting relegated from the Prem! It’s to be expected some folk seem to think? We are in a very small minority of clubs that have been unfortunate to fall from grace so quickly yet we haven’t had points deducted for going into administration or had financial problems and so what went wrong? Even Blackpool lasted 4 seasons and look at their problems!
Not one of the great talents, but he cannot be accused of not being bothered like a number of recent players. Not a bad player per se, but just not really PL level. I think he’ll be an asset coaching.Teaching them how to give away penalties ya mean! :)
Gone to ground? Hardly!I had some some very heated, good-natured debates at the weekend with some proper, intelligent, been-around-and-seen-a-lot-over-the-years Latics fans.
Don’t kid yourself that this forum is anything like representative of what passes for sensible debate on Latics’ fortunes (no pun intended). It’s a school playground at best, and not a very good school at that.
Bit condescending if you ask me! There is some real irony at the foot of your comment though! :silly:
I think the fact that there are only 11 comments hints at the article not being read by that many if you ask me! Whelan choosing Coyle over McClaren has got to be a massive faux pas whichever way you look at it! I wonder what the excuses will be next season if we struggle to make an impact in League One?
Is that the guy who said that Wigan Athletic were the glamour team of The Championship! The same guy who said that we had the right man in charge after the appointment of Coyle, further adding that -Quote “From all the people we saw, he was absolutely the right man for us and he has already given us a real lift”. Steve McClaren was also seen was he not!! As if I am going to take notice of someone who has spouted shite like that! Also, how would I have access to a copy of the Wigan Observer anyway? I bet most of our fans who live in Wigan don’t even read it nevermind me here in Leyland! This is what I mean about the silence from the club, why didn’t he say what he had to say on the club’s website or in the matchday programmes? I am sure more fans would read those than the WO!If he did write a piece in the programme then I will hold my hand up as I don’t buy one but the Wigan Observer! I still wouldn’t take him seriously though! :)
I presume this is a wind-up? Okay, I’ll bite.
You’re twisting his words regarding the ‘Glamour Team’ quote:
“I was speaking to one of my counterparts in the Championship, and he told me he was really looking forward to the visit of Wigan Athletic because it was one of the glamour games of the season.
I told him it was probably the first time that Wigan Athletic have ever been described as being a glamour team! He explained it was because we’d been in the Premier League for eight years, we were the FA Cup holders and we would be playing in Europe next season.
And I suppose, if you take a step back, we probably are one of the big teams in that league this year.”
That season we made the FA Cup Semi Final again, and the play-offs. So what was wrong with what he said?
And as for the Owen Coyle quote. He was speaking about the new manager that they’d just appointed. What’s he supposed to say?
“We know you’re all pissed off about us being relegated, so we’ve appointed this Coyle bloke because he was cheaper than McLaren, but let’s see how it goes anyway. Get your season ticket renewals in everyone”
And with regards to someone from Leyland getting access to the Wigan Observer: it’s online! It goes under the moniker of Wigan Today, which is combined with the Wigan Evening Post. It appears on the News Now feed and was posted all over the forums!

Nice try Phil. 3/10 for originality though![/quote]
First time I have seen this! I have just read it all and I agree with the ‘North Korean’ comment underneath! In fact if you read all 11 comments not one of them is buying this bollocks! Not just me then eh ! ;)
I bet he hasn’t slept a wink since he got fined £50K! That would have really hurt him ! I wouldn’t be surprised if he walks very soon!
Good win today, unfortunately the win pales into insignificance with Rotherham winning! If we at least go down fighting it will give us some hope for next season!
I don’t understand why so many people are saying that Everton are going to win the Europa League? There are some pretty decent sides left in and I can think of 6 off the top of my head who would more than likely do Everton should they meet! Can’t be arsed typing them but Zenit are the side I fancy to win it!
Translated means that If Everton win the Europa league I will have to eat humble pie because that would mean Champs league football :silly: :silly:[/quote]
Fuck off dick wad! Now go and translate that !

Lost 7 Drawn 1 !
Now if anyone was wondering why there is so much doom and gloom on here then the above stats should go some way to elucidating! Yet some folk still say ” Stop moaning” ! Fucking hell, they must be easily pleased, that is all I can say! :huh:
A glass half full person would say “Get yourself to an away game. It will be marginally better”[/quote]
But we have only got 12 points on the road as opposed to 13 points at home, how can it be marginally better?[/quote]
Your subject was the last 8 home games (lost 7 drawn 1). We have 2 wins in the last 8 away games, therefore marginally better.[/quote]
Home, away, whichever way you look at it we are totally shite and getting worse! Most of the positive board members have gone to ground as they have no positivity to add and so being one trick ponies they are redundant for now! :)
Fine. Well do us all a favour and fuck off and watch a spectacle that’s more pleasing to ya then. ‘To be honest I wanted to go to see how bad they really were and they didn’t disappoint’. Make your mind up. Yesterday your mate dragged you out out on a freebie when you wanted to watch ITV. What did you expect? Fuckin champagne football from the worst performing team in our history?What kind of prick comes on here trying to piss everyone off telling us how bad we are? We all fuckin know how bad we are. FFS. Some of us go every week not just when we get a free ticket off a mate.
Really? You sure?[/quote]
I believe Leeds are playing and are currently winning!
Lost 7 Drawn 1 !
