Wigan Athletic’s 2-1 win over Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals last Sunday has earned Uwe Rosler’s side the performance of the week award for the second time in eight days.
The Latics’ 4-1 win over Nottingham Forest won them the award a week earlier and the LMA, whose panel decide the winners, describe the consecutive wins as “an extremely rare feat”.
I wonder if Uwe signs books? I bet he’d sign it better than that Spanish prick we used to have as a manager
:blush:
Talking about books, is your new one out soon, I need some prizes for the Josephs Goal walk to Bolton and the raffle on our Wembley buses(donated by the way).
Just think a Chris Griffin first edition signed by the latest ‘bright upcoming manager’ we have had, it could be worth a fortune in the future.
You may even get a new ‘facebook photo’ on the pitch out of it as well.[/quote]
It’s been out since before Christmas, actually. I’ll have to speak to my co-author on this one, but I am quite sure we will be very happy to donate some copies. Although, as this book isn’t specifically football/Latics related, getting them signed might be harder. Won’t stop me trying, though. :)
Helps when the referee gives you a penalty in the last minute for nothing
And decides to let your keeper stay on the pitch when probably 90% of other refs would have sent him for an early bath ! ;)[/quote]
Agree with Tyldesley that the fact that the ball/player were going away from goal helped Ali, but don’t agree with him about our penalty – softest penalty I’ve seen in a long while. Would have been very unhappy if that had gone against us.
It’s dead easy to understand Griff, when Martinez was our manager I could see what he was trying to do just like you Standish and a few others. The football at times was brilliant and at other times was abysmal. A manager who allows his players to take a short free kick when 30 yards away from goal and within 10 secs its with our goalie, has a lot to learn. This is just one example of the shortfalls of RM, IMHO he was and is not as good as I and you made him out to be. Everton fans are already saying he has no plan B, and that’s because he is so wrapped up in his playing methodology he is too short sighted to see the obvious at times. He is crying out for a decent assistant that has been there, done that and got the tee shirt.
Perhaps I’m just an old fashioned supporter who bums up his team, managers, players etc no matter what, but when anybody leaves they just want um to fail. It’s called being a loyal supporter and like it or not there are probably more fans wanting Martinez to fail than those wanting him to succeed. I’m just going off the gangs I hang around with, but I reckon that’s a fair indication, call it the exit poll of the football world.
There are 3 regular posters on here that jump in if anybody has a go at Bobby and / or Everton. That’s you, Standish and Barnsley, the rest either don’t give a shyte or openly bear a grudge against RM.That’s where I stand, so OK, if you want to read the posts and defend RM or call the posters who have a go at him, please do, its your prerogative being a latics fan and long standing member of this board. :kiss:
No it isn’t being a loyal supporter it’s acting and talking like a complete child.
As is hanging round in gangs.
However, following relegation he jumped ship at the first chance & for that i cant forgive.The man has his career to think of. There is absolutely no loyalty in football, much like in many other walks of life. What right have you, or anybody else, to dictate where a manager plies his trade. Nobody would have bat an eyelid had he been sacked.
At least jewell did say he would have stayed an extra season had we have gone down that day against sheffield utd.Well, we will never know whether Jewell would have followed up on that claim or not, will we?
sorry but i cant forgive him for the way he left & that is why i am thrilled to bits that my team went further than his.Thrilled to bits? You must have some yawning gap in your life if that’s the case. ;)
I suspect, by the way, that Martinez himself is thrilled to bits that we got to the semi-final. Of course he would have liked his new employers to get there too, but I bet he was still happy that we got through.
One of us is obviously a wind up poster, maybe even a multi!
I wonder which one.
Ask your mate Griff if I am a multi ![/quote]
I can confirm that, thank Christ, there is only one of Filmoss. Isn’t that enough? ;)
Martinez,r u watching martinez!!!!
In the immediate aftermath of one of our greatest ever victories, your first thought is to have a pop at an ex-manager who has already won the FA Cup?
What a very strange attitude to take. Not like you, to be fair. Had you had a drink? ;)[/quote]
I agree griff, he did win us the FA cup & in fairness would have kept us up had he not had bad luck with injuries to key players at various stages last season. However, following relegation he jumped ship at the first chance & for that i cant forgive. Had we have stayed up & he turned round & said “ive taken this club as far as i can its now time for a new challenge” that would not have been a problem in my eyes & i would have wished him well. Likewise if he stayed this season but failed in his attempt to get us promoted, just saying for arguments sake, i would have wished him well. At least jewell did say he would have stayed an extra season had we have gone down that day against sheffield utd.

I don’t know why they don’t just avoid these threads,the post title must have given them a bit of a clue as to what was to follow. If they think they can change our minds, then they are a butty short of a picnic. :whistle:[/quote]
Oh, I get it… if somebody doesn’t agree with you, they should just stay away from the thread and let you have your say, unopposed? And I’m supposed to be the one who doesn’t let people have an opinion!
Anyway, it would be a difficult policy to adopt with you John because, as Standish says, you change your view with the wind. It would be really hard working out which threads we’re supposed to read and which we’re not.
Surely Ryan Giggs should make the line up ?
Not mine, no. Pick your own[/quote]
I will and my team of drunken, drug addled sex beasts will hammer your lot ! :)[/quote]
It’d be entertaining to watch!
I cant see us going straight up TBH. I agree with barnsley, it would take a hell of a lot now to get automatically promoted. Playoffs methinks, or failing that, a serious push for automatic promotion next season.The good thing is, I can’t see us NOT making the play-offs. Automatic is just a step too far, probably.
Are you still going to argue this ,SOD OFF .I sang it until I was blue in the face yesterday, and thoroughly enjoyed myself, too.
But, it’s still wrong, and I have yet to ask anyone with more than half a brain cell who disagrees.
Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere but in this morning’s Daily Mail – do it must be right – our game is 3pm on Sunday.
