    After about 10 minutes yesterday practically the whole of the Latics following stood up in unison and belted out

    “we know what we are, we know what we aaaarrrrre, FA cup champions, we know what we are”

    Did you both join in ?

    Of course not! I may be a lot of things, but I’m no hypocrite ;)

    To be honest, I very rarely sing. It’s not fair on those around me.

    Oh, and very few around us joined in, but I think we were sat in a section reserved for more discerning patrons ;)

    When do we win the Cup?

    Well, clearly, as with Edinburgh’s european adventure, these are optional extras to be taken in any year you like.

    Also, if you do win promotion from the Championship, you should be allowed to “stick” and not go up. It’s probably pushing it a bit, though, to be allowed to refuse relegation, it that happens, and stay up.

    All those in favour…

    At the moment we are one of the big spenders in the league with such a big squad and players in it. Once the pennies run out from the premiership we would be in trouble with our low fan base. So premiership is the aspiration. Also if we had no desire to end up in teh premiership, just surviving in the Championship, it would get dull.

    Yay, we agree on something! ;)

    Ideally, I would like us to be on a three-year cycle:

    Year 1 – Promotion to the Premier
    Year 2 – Consolidation in the Premier
    Year 3 – Relegation to the Championship…

    … and back to Year 1.

    Alternatively, I’d also be OK with a four-year cycle:

    Year 1 – Promotion to the Premier
    Year 2 – Consolidation in the Premier
    Year 3 – Relegation to the Championship.
    Year 4 – Championship play-offs but knocked out in the semi-final…

    … and back to Year 1.

    Not too much to ask, is it?

    Don’t forget Aston Vile , Man ure , cup less palace ,Joke city!
    baa diff is a cracker btw Griff !!

    The Cardiff one is a classic, I won’t disagree there for once in a while :lol:

    Is there a similar one for their friends down the road?[/quote]

    Swaaaa-nsea??[/quote]

    If you want to look like a smart arse & that you know the native’s language then “A-baaa-tawe” works quite well even if it is a bit similar to Baa-diff.
    Show’s a bit of thought has gone into it though[/quote]

    Except that it sounds fuck all like Cardiff, which is the point of the exercise. If there is indeed a point to the exercise. ;)

    Paul Jewell fancies us

    He fancies anything, him ;)[/quote]

    Wonder if he’ll make a video of it.[/quote]

    Somebody’ll get the hairdresser hairdryer treatment if he does

    Youre right I give in.

    I always am, didn’t you know that?

    in reply to: Tonights Game #129663

    Looked to me like 9 players where second to every ball so fear of knocks for team selection on Saturday.

    Looked to me like 9 players who know there’s absolutely zip chance of them playing on Saturday and therefore couldn’t give a toss last night.

    No harm done, as it happens.[/quote]

    No harm done ? Did Brighton, Ipswich and Bournemouth not all win and put themselves just 6 points behind us ! A 9 point cushion with just 5 to play would have been a whole lot easier on the nerves, especially as the aforementioned sides all have winnable on Saturday when we are otherwise engaged ![/quote]

    Then you need to calm down. A 12-point cushion would have been even better but still, if we throw away a 6-point cushion over the 5 remaining games, then we don’t deserve a play-off place.

    Latics marketing at its finest yet again. This with tickets still available and a shit train service. Both shocking and pathetic Latics!

    Er, exactly what is pathetic about it? The fact that there are only 3 days left before the game and they have just four seats left on their last coach tells me that someone has gauged the demand almost perfectly.

    It’s not their fault that 6 people can’t get their act together early enough to decide how they want to get to Wembley.[/quote]

    Donny has reeled in more fish this week than Arky has all year ! :P[/quote]

    His track records says he’s nowhere near clever enought for that. But he can have this one, if only for the fact that it’s one less clueless post banging on about 4-4-2 ;)

    in reply to: Maynard #129658

    Maybe a strike partner for our so called strikers would help. Seems to be a problem we have had for 5 seasons now.
    4 4 2 does work. Well it as at Leicester and Burnley.

    Let’ us see if he can sustain his lucky start from the team he inherited from moyes over a prolonged period, I await the FAT LAD & his witty retort :)

    I thought April fools day had gone, do you honestly believe what you have wrote TORCH?. So Roberto was lucky that Mr Whelan made Jimmy Mac go to Everton and he was really lucky that Chelsea & City just dumped Lukaku & Barry at Goodison. And he was spawny that suddenly Ross Berkley has forced himself into the first team. Of course Roberto Martinez did not want or choose any of these players. Mr Whelan must be wrong when he says Roberto is the best young manager in Europe obviously he meant to say the luckiest.[/quote]

    I honestly don’t believe you bothered replying to him. This mon is the daftest poster since Wiganmon.

    Oh, hang on…

    in reply to: Song for Boycie #129580

    Good luck with that!
