    I don’t really know on what you are basing your opinion. Jeff Wright was a very good footballer, probably one of the best passers, of his time, ever to play for Wigan Athletic. The fact that he wasn’t considered aggressive enough and didn’t get “stuck in” clouded many people’s judgement of him. I think if he was playing in today’s game with its less physical demands people would view him differently.

    Agreed. Wright seems to get the same treatment that Michael O’Neill always got. And it looks as if Jordi Gomez is already going the same way.

    is bobbyswigan really…….arky

    It doesn’t matter.

    If it’s not Arky, the man’s a tedious dullard.

    If it is Arky, this is his worst creation yet, and is a tedious dullard.

    Perhaps if we ignore him, he’ll go way

    I would guess it would be straight down there, but you’ll be there very early for the museum thingy…

    If you have kids this costs roughly the same cost as a ticket, but you get the extras, its excellent value. If my kids were old enough to do away matches I’d be on in a shot…

    What do the kids do while you are getting the “extras”? :oops:

    Have you all not realised yet that this mon is the peanut brain that is parakeet. :roll:

    Maybe, but there’s too much venom and consistency for his ramblings not to be totally a wind-up. He believes the drivel he spouts about Whelan ;)

    in reply to: Marlon King #8028

    As bad as King is, it would be total dereliction of duty to leave us with just 2 recognized strikers.

    so mr 1% you actually class jason scotland as a regogmised striker ?
    methinks you are in the 99% bracket.[/quote]

    1st, I never put myself in the 1%. The 1% was reserved only for the odd real footballer who might lurk on here wetting himself laughing at idiots like you. And me.

    2nd, yes, I think he is recognised as a striker, albeit in many people’s opinion, not a very good one. I think 20-odd goals in a championship side gives you the right to call yourself a striker.

    I might post something again later tonight if you feel the need to stalk and pull me to pieces again

    in reply to: Anti Whelan brigade #8024
    After reading that, it struck me that a sports retailer with every football fan in the country as a potential customer would probably be best advised NOT to associate itself too closely with ONE team.
    After all, we’re a fickle bunch us supporters. We tend to be loyal to one team, no matter what. Well, some of us are, but maybe not all?

    This loyalty is usually to the exclusion of all others and even shows itself as hatred of some rival teams. How do you think the average Bolton fan felt knowing that if he spent his money in JJB then it would benefit Wigan Athletic?

    Now, I only gave this about 30 seconds thought and maybe 2 mins to type it. Hope it’s not drivel.

    This was (allegedly) the exact reason why Whelan didn’t want to buy United because he was afraid it would alienate supporters in Liverpool and London, etc.

    Other than that, I found your post to be complete drivel. Please don’t be insulted

    in reply to: Marlon King #8008
    We have some young kids who could get a run and would be ahead of Marlon in the pecking order.

    Clearly not, or they would be on the bench ahead of him, wouldn’t they?

    in reply to: Marlon King #8004

    Oh, well that’s alright then. Off you pop then, Marlon.

    in reply to: Lets get a rough idea #8002
    I am a great believer in giving the benefit of the doubt and I will be there for the next home game as I always am.

    Thank you kindly sir, we won’t forget that you have deigned to give your benefit of doubt. ;)

    We need to vastly improve our home form and it needs to start against Wet Spam …

    I can’t take anyone seriously who refers to West Ham as Wet Spam. My five year-old would get a clip round the ear for being childish if he did it. It’s like calling rugby “thugby”. It’s pathetic really.

    Just my opinion though.

    I never once said that Martinez is “God”. He has a lot to learn and we will undoubtedly lose more than we win under this style of play but I, for one, am more than happy to watch this style.

    Everyone has an opinion – me, you, ex-pros, and if all those opinions were the same it would be a fairly dull world. The thing that annoys me about the likes of you and Bobby’swigan is that you appear to think that you are the ONLY people who are allowed to have an opinion and that you’re opinion is to be taken as fact and anyone who disagrees with you is a c0ck.

    Patently not true.

    i have never once in my life said or believed anyone elses opinion does not count and i dont insult people like you either when they have a different outylook from yours,even though you more than deserve it.

    but i will ask you again,please in your opinion,of which i value,tell me what is wrong in what i said ?

    “i have never seen poorer and more disjointed displays with the most inept
    tactics and painfully slow passing and movement in a latics side for many many years,
    and that is down to one man”

    perhaps this time you may answer without fudging or trying to score points

    Why on earth would I try to score points? What does that prove?

    And there cannot be anything “wrong” with your opinion because it is just that, an opinion. How do I know whether it’s right or not? For a start, I don’t know which other “poor and disjointed displays” you were referring to.

    in reply to: Honest Opinions #7988
    The team, chairman and manager may well be doing all they can, the sad thing is the fans are not. I have never known such a depressingly quiet set of fans…. The fans so far this season have been pathetic and nobody can argue otherwise. If the crowd really is the 12th man, at home were playing a man short.

    It’s been the same for years I’m afraid, and I would have to hold up my hand as being as guilty as the next man. The problem is that in a crowd of 76,000 at Old Trafford, for example, there will be many, many quiet ones but they are compensated for by the more vocal ones. Let’s say that even 10% of our home 12,000 are hard-core “singers” they will simply rattle around in the JJB. We need a drum and a trumpet :geek:

    Oh, and you may or may not have just been winding us all up about Whelan but that still leaves a good few who are talking nonsense ;)

    in reply to: Yet more praise for Roberto… #7933

    but what do i know ? i have only been watching football for 45+ years

    And still learned nowt! :)

    You’re right, not all ex-pros know everything. But they have probably forgotten more about football than 99% on this board will ever know about football.

    And yes, you’re in the 99%[/quote]

    so i am in that 99% am i ? and pray tell me where what i said is wrong

    “i have never seen poorer and more disjointed displays with the most inept
    tactics and painfully slow passing and movement in a latics side for many many years,
    and that is down to one man”

    seeing as in your opinion you and the other martinez is god brigade seem to think
    you are the other 1%, and therfore must be right.[/quote]
