Minus 25 goal difference and just 39 goals scored in 46 matches! Only Blackpool scored fewer and that was only 3 less! Great season! I still find it difficult to understand why so many of our fans accepted everything that has gone on without a whimper? Blind faith at its most extreme ! I am not being funny but I will watching the transfer market with a very keen eye for the next few months because I do not want to waste ( very apt adjective! ) my money on a season ticket if I think it will be more of the same! A good idea could be to see how they start next season, say for the first 5 or 6 games before stumping up your hard earned cash because I have a feeling that this rot will continue!
Not sure that Bong and Boyce are the answer being played as wing backs? I bet Wolves went away after last week’s game thinking “Shit, they aint gonna help us next week” !
Reasons to be cheerfulFill giving up his season ticket :lol: :lol: :lol:
Yeah for the last 2 games and apparently I missed fuck all! Even the long overdue win was met with disdain!
You should have mentioned the £550.00 that appeared in my Betvictor betting account on Wednesday morning, now that did make me cheerful! ;)All I can sense here is the Johnny big Bolux attitude. We didn’t and don’t have a god given right to play in the premier league or the championship.For a club of our size and history we have surpassed all our dreams, I’ve loved every second of it and boy do I want us to get back up there.
There are hundreds if not thousands of reasons why we have fallen so dramatically these past couple of seasons and its not down to just bad management, playing one up front, changing managers, buying shyte players.
To highlight one or two things and even individuals is being very short sighted.This landslide has not just happened to us, its actually quite common, look at City, Newcastle, Leeds, Wolves, Sheff Wednesday, Notts Forrest, Portsmouth etc etc. Sheffield United played in the premiership in its inaugural year, look where they have been presiding since we sent them down at Brammel Lane several years ago.
I’m that much a latics fan, if they lose, its ruined my weekend, my missus has fallen out with me loads of times cos I’ve chosen to go watching Wigan away at places like Southend, instead of attending a relatives wedding. That’s how much this club means to me. I was watching SSN on Tuesday stomach turning upside down as reports came in from the Rotherham match. I spent around 4 grand watching every game home and away in our first season in the prem. I’ve been to Netherfield, Great Harwood,South Shields, Stafford Rangers, Bradford Park Avenue etc watching um with 20 odd others. I have lost count of the times I’ve had fights with Rugby fans who have tried to take the piss about our crowds, I could go on and on, but you should get where I’m coming from by now.
Now that the dust has settled and our fate has been sealed, I’m actually beginning to look forward to next season. Whats the point in dwelling on whats happened it wont make you feel better it will just beat you up.I feel positive vibes about David Sharp and Gary Caldwell, they both seem passionate about our club. No doubt we will see massive changes in personnel between now and August, some that gets us excited, some that doesn’t, but what ever happens, Wigan Athletic will be running out at the DW next season with an ambition to win games. That’s what they want,that’s what we want, that’s what they tried to do last season and the many seasons before. We can’t predict what will happen, but that’s football for you, if it was a predictable as picking the top 4 clubs in the premier league, it would be boring.
We know many of you feel bitter about what’s happened this season, you don’t need to flood every thread with it, lets get Saturday over with, take a nice break and come back next season with fresh hope. Whether you pack um in or not, the club will still roll on, Mr Whelan has made sure that we are a sustainable club whether you love him or hate him.
BELIEVE!!!Fuckin hell, you’ve changed your tune! You had a meltdown of epic proportions when Martinez left us and said he should have stayed and righted his relegation wrong by taking us back up again! You were most confident of us doing very well in The Championship and thought that our squad was more than adequate to challenge for promotion so why the little club mentality all of a sudden and acceptance of the fuckin shambles of this season? This roll over lay down attitude isn’t good, it isn’t good at all! You will be endorsing League Two next and saying that this is what we really are if we are ever unfortunate enough to go back there! Non league football could potentially have some of our old skool fans quite literally creaming their y fronts! :dry:
A sort of a hindsight thing here but has anyone else noticed Brentford’s meteoric rise started to gain real momentum when Rosler left! Their forums took a similar path to ours regarding Rosler, started brilliantly and looked really promising and then a rot set in and his authoritarian obstinate character came to the fore and he lost respect of many fans!
Whoever gives the armed forces the best equipment and they want for nothing gets my vote so i`m stuck.
I’d be more inclined to vote for a party that chooses to make a stand by not sending young men and women to be maimed and killed for no good reason just to satisfy the interests of the elite pursuing their own political and economic agenda.[/quote]
I got the impression that he was being sarcastic! If I’m wrong then I’m flabbergasted!
It makes me laugh the football experts don’t want to play the Martnez/Caldwell way don’t want hoofball they want the ball on the ground :silly: :silly:
Are you familiar with the word ‘Compromise’ or the term ‘Middle Ground’ ? From what I can remember you hardly saw any games under Martinez because of work and so you can’t know fully how fucking mind numbing it was at times! That style of football in League One will be even worse to endure![/quote]

III think you have the wrong person there it is only last couple of seasons that has happened owd lad but you keep squirming with your anti-Martinez bollox[/quote]
When we got relegated you mean! :)
If we go back to the Martinez way of football in League One then I will be one of the many thousand who will choose to keep their hard earned money in their respective pockets!Would you then if promoted after that kind of football immediately jump back on the bandwagon with the thousands (your words) again ?
What bandwagon? I’ve probably been to more games than you pal! There won’t be no promotion with those tactics and one up front trust me!
We were lacking passion both on and off the pitch, the ‘Dunkirk Spirit’ of the Prem relegation dogfight days was nowhere to be seen?

Serious question. Did they do a parade to the fans after the game last Saturday? Personally I wouldn’t see much point in it and I can’t imagine many fans cheering and clapping if they did! My fit of pique saw me miss the home hoodoo ending game and the Wolves game but I have been informed that I actually missed fuck all as both games were shit? If we go back to the Martinez way of football in League One then I will be one of the many thousand who will choose to keep their hard earned money in their respective pockets!
Humour me. Who is “Wheeliebin eyes and ears”?Is that similar to Wet Spam, Dulham and Liebour?
I think he means ‘Wheelbarrow’ ! ;)
