  • in reply to: WEMBLEY COACH FARES #128848

    Looks like Vital Latics have got the other coach companies to reduce their fares to £30.00, the same as Vital Latics charged last year and are again charging this year, which also allows them to make a donation to the JOESPH Joseph’s Goal APPEAL :) Joseph’s Goal

    Thanks a lot, we have even tried to go a little further this time by doing an under 12s kids seat for £22, from the outset it has always been our aim to give our supporters the best possible deal.

    If I can continue blowing our own Trumpet we are also THE ONLY operator that is offering multi pickups and drop offs from all over Wigan, and will not be plonking our passengers at some over priced Motorway Service Station for a refreshment stop.[/quote]

    Not quite ‘only’. My minibus will be doing the same ;)

    Yeovil are Uwe’s bogey team.

    Next up, Watford.

    Right, I’ll bite. Why are they his bogey team?

    in reply to: Two Points Dropped #128804

    It could be seen as either 2pts dropped or 1pt gained, such was the last 10 mins of the game.

    However, looking at a bigger picture, I’m sure even the most die-hard fan wouldn’t have expected to have won the last 6 league games before tonight, and if they had been offered 19pts out of the next 21 at 5pm on 8 Feb, they would have taken it.

    Mutty, please stop taking sense. You know it will upset people here.[/quote]

    Don’t ask him to stop when he’s only just started. :blink:

    I really hope this is worth the wait.

    Sammy, can’t you just trace it and hand-deliver us all a copy? It would be much quicker ;)

    However, I think it’s best if we just forget about it altogether.

    Sorry Mr Chairman, didn’t think i had to get permission.

    Of course you don’t need permission. I’m just trying to stop you making yourself look silly ;)

    in reply to: Not to bad a signing #128701

    I think, if Rodwell accepts the drop down to the Championship he would be a great signing.

    As Anelka has terminated his contract at the Hawthorns would anyone sign him till May? Gives us another option up front.

    I think I may speak for 99% on this one taz

    No chucking fance.

    He is a disgrace to the football profession, a player with a god given talent who has abused that gift and spent his whole career putting money before playing.

    I remember in 2002, one of our many cup victories ;) over city, the League cup when we were in div 2, Anelka got roughed up in a tackle by DeVos(I think) in the first few minutes, he spent the rest of the game hiding, never had any respect for him after that.[/quote]

    Aye, I think Anelka is just the type of person that Whelan would get on with. Not!

    There weren’t any turn-ups with Owen Coyle.

    He didn’t even wear long trousers.

    Nice one. Nearly didn’t spot that. It got hemmed in between a couple of other posts

    But, opinions and arseholes… everybody has ’em!

    As eloquent as ever I see !! ;)

    These were the games we played back then

    11 March: Norwich 1-1 Wigan

    17 March: Wigan 1-1 West Brom

    24 March: Liverpool 1-2 Wigan

    31 March: Wigan 2-0 Stoke

    7 April: Chelsea 2-1 Wigan

    11 April: Wigan 1-0 Man Utd

    16 April: Arsenal 1-2 Wigan

    21 April: Fulham 2-1 Wigan

    28 April: Wigan 4-0 Newcastle

    To me the Newcastle game was the culmination of everything that came before it. The previous results despite the blip at Fulham meant they were full of confidence and it all came together to perfection in that 1st half.

    Newcastle were 4th and strongly tipped for a Champions League spot and we took them apart with arguably our finest 45 minutes as an attacking force since God knows when.

    Still like I said I can’t argue with your choices although as you appear to have a dislike of Liverpool I’m surprised you didn’t choose that game. :)[/quote]

    I think it is partly because I wasn’t there :(

    in reply to: New Song #128674
    Don’t know what people think of this.

    Based on ‘We know who we are’

    We’ve won it once
    We can win it a-gen
    We’re Wigan Athletic
    We’ll do it for Ben !!

    It would work much better to the tune of Tom Hark, the erstwhile goal celebration tune.

    However, I think it’s best if we just forget about it altogether. ;)

    in reply to: New Song #128673
    I still don’t understand why we don’t change ew-ah into u-we, at least it makes some sense!

    Or even “Wig-An” to match the original “Zul-Te”, which makes even more sense.

    How many Wembley coaches are you doing, LMB?

    in reply to: On a roll… #128670

    We would welcome anything as prizes if people think they are suitable, you can see I am scraping the bottom of the barrel asking for one of griffs books, so a decent prize would be a godsend. ;)

    Re the “edit”… was it the publicity or the critic/eunuch quote?*
    * I’m not sufficiently educated to have known that off the bat, by the way… I googled ;)[/quote]

    It was the publicity one, as you, my education doesn’t stretch to any of his other quotes or works for that matter, the only reason I know the publicity quote is because it has been wrongly attributed to other people in the past and when I read somewhere who actually said it it has always stuck.
    I posted it anyway just in case you or anyone else thought my reply to jimmyc was serious.

    Congratulations if the, eunuch quote was thrown back in my direction, if you meant it I certainly bowled you the longest of long hops, although in my defence I don’t tend to be a critic of anyone with a skill, with the exception of football managers, and even that is only opinion.[/quote]

    No, I didn’t think you were having a pop. I’m far too thick-skinned for that!

    I can’t argue with your selections but I think that the 4-0 1st half demolition of Newcastle in 2012 also deserves a special mention.

    The manner in which we hammered them was probably worthy of a mention but the fact that we beat Newcastle wasn’t such a huge surprise, I don’t think. In the five games I listed, we were such over-whelming underdogs, that’s what makes them stand out for me.

    But, opinions and arseholes… everybody has ’em!

    in reply to: 5-4-Friday… 5 Wigan Athletic Turn-ups #128651

    No idea what happened there. It’s just as funny the second time ;)
