We do tend to overcook it a little and attempt to walk the ball into the net ! Last season on that dream run we seemed to dispense with the tippy tappy sideways and backwards stuff and got the ball through to the business end of things swiftly and efficiently. Unfortunately the former tactics seem to have crept back into our game !
Did we bollocks!! All we might have done was play with a little higher tempo! The style was exactly the same! Jesus, talk about making things up to suit your argument!![/quote]
Watch the games back and the sideways backwards shite was definitely dispensed with ! As you say the tempo was quicker but it was also more direct ! I am afraid Griff that you are wrong this time ![/quote]
What 90 minutes of every game? Don’t talk ridiculous, man!
Gomez played almost all of those games and, according to most of you lot, he can’t knock a ball forward at all, so how do you work that out?[/quote]
I am saying we dropped the piss about tactics and I have never questioned Gomez’s ability ! With all due respect sir you are wrong ! B)
Tell Fergie that,I’m sure he could do with some advise from you.
Possibly yes. He also thought Djemba-Djemba and Kleberson were good so he obviously makes mistakes.[/quote]
The England manager seems to think he has something to offer as well ! :huh:
Apparently Kone is on his way back and may feature in the Chelsea game if he isn’t suffering any side affects from travelling.
If he gets side effects from an 18 hour first class flight, with zero time difference, following 3 weeks sat on his backside I’ll eat my match ticket![/quote]
I’d put some sauce on it first.[/quote]
I would send it back to the kitchen because it was over cooked ! :) By the way McManaman needs to be removed from the bench, I am afraid it just isn’t happening for him and we need to get rid of some deadwood in our bid to survive !

I am suspecting that Adam is a little green behind the ears. I could of course be wrong as I often am but to question the proverbial ‘Must Win’ scenario is a little naive is it not ?
Just to quote you Adam on the Chelsea Away thread “Appreciate that it is expensive, but at a time like this when Chelsea are playing badly, and we need a win, It’s got to be worth considering at least?, Living in Dorset costs me £52 a time for the train to a home game, but I don’t let that put me off”.
To repeat ” We need a win ” The question is- Is it a must win if we really need it ? ;)The team itself is not playing too badly apart from Saturday if people analyse the goals conceded not many teams have to work hard to score against us a lot could be said about the injury situation and that has played a big part of the problem this season as I have said before I don’t think we have had the same defensive line up for consecutive games this season to have your main center halves out for a big part of the season has not helped eitherSo perhaps a contingency plan could have been put in place whereas the back line tactics didn’t depend on 3 centre halves ! Just an idea like ! However I am not the manager and and thankfully I don’t have to accept the blame when things don’t go too well ! Unfortunately managers lose their jobs when things go pear shaped but RM finds himself in a unique position and safe, as he has a chairman who knows deep down that no manager could take this club any further with his limited resources !
Like Griff and Standish have said many times before, he isn’t going to say anything negative about his side to the media but one has to admit, his post match interviews are getting more bizarre by the week, not to mention his rapidly thinning hairline ! It’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it !
Bizarre? Bland maybe, but certainly not bizarre. Soemtimes his English is not 100% native but you try cleaning windows in Spanish and se how you get on ;)
Said it before, and I’ll say it again – I couldn’t give a monkey’s what he says in public, it’s what he says in the dressing room that matters.[/quote]
It would appear that your English isn’t too clever of late ! By the way RM’s English is nigh on perfect as it should be having lived and worked amongst English speaking folk for almost 18 years ! I am fairly confident that I would be speaking fluent Spanish now if I had been living in Spain in similar circumstances for the last 18 years ! B)
I consider myself a lightsider but on this occassion, i am with filmoss on this one. I believe this is our last season in the premier league – however, i strongly believe not THE last. One day i think we will return – when, im not sure, but we’ll have our time again.In addition, when you look at clubs/towns the size of wigan, we tend not to stay in the premier league too long, ie; blackpool, burnley, bolton, blackburn, watford – you get the drift.
I think we should be proud of what we as a club have achieved, how far we have come – again you get the drift. We have had 7 more seasons in the premier league than what i first anticipated. I really admire people’s optimism on here & i hope i eat humble pie at the end of the season. But, TBH even i believe its the end. :(
Like I have tried to state, the more optimistic ones on here already accept ‘Que sara sara ‘ but still remain optimistic. I am just going off what I have seen and I am thinking realistically. It wont be the end of the World and I certainly wont be saying ” I told you so ” !
Captains of our own destiny and he has had more than enough chances ! Look at George Best, given a new liver and a second chance and he pissed it up the wall when someone else could have had that liver ! If you saw someone on the street in the same state as Gazza was in that video you would think ” Look at that pisspot what a disgrace ” The only difference is, that pisspot would have no means of any help because they are just government statistics who nobody gives a fuck about whereas the likes of ex professional footballers have shit loads of money and connections to aid them in times of despair ! It was pitiful watching that video and I would say from the evidence of it that he wont make next Christmas which is a sad assessment for anyone let alone a guy who had so many chances to turn things around !
Just a couple of points:
1) George Best did not die because he pished his new liver up the wall. He died due to complications caused by the immunosuppressive drugs he needed to take following his liver transplant & which ultimately caused multiple organ failure. It’s a high risk factor for all transplant patients
2) Having money is no barrier to prevent the kind things (mental health issues, depression etc..) which can ultimately lead to alcoholism. Alcoholism isn’t purely the result of a person who is unable to exercise some form of self-control over their drinking or to know when it is or isn’t a good idea to start in the first place. In some cases it is in he vast majority it isn’t[/quote]I stand corrected re the actual cause of Best’s death but he was back on the sauce at the time and actually allowed one of the big newspapers to photograph him on his death bed with the message ” Don’t Die Like Me ! ” As for Gazza, his money has been used to have him admitted to many top class rehab clinics and psychiatric hospitals and he has been given countless chances down the years, something that our street drunk would never ever receive ! His multiple drink driving offences don’t auger too well either ! The comments underneath his latest drunken video are split with support and no sympathy and I just happen to be in the latter camp !
