    Listen lad, I ignored all the abysmal spelling in your earlier post but please don’t start lecturing me on the correct use of England.

    Yes, you’re right, the second one wasn’t required. Wrong, even. But sometimes, in modern language, they can be used for emphasis. Not right, as I say, but deemed acceptable. A bit like saying FA Cup champions instead of FA Cup winners.

    Do yourself a favour. Stay away from pulling up people on their England and stick to showing your wife all your witty derogatory posts. She must be just made up that she married Wigan’s answer to Oscar Wilde. Or Stephen Fry.[/quote]

    see its not hard to admit your wrong is it. try it some more. now you just need to work on you being a bit humble, but being daft to is a nice trait,[/quote]

    Bored with you lad, go away. We’ve all been playing quite nicely on here recently. If you want to try to drag it down you can, but I’m bored with you now.

    It’s not my fault you took my factually correct criticism about Wigan fans singing the wrong words to the Zulte, YAMS and, arguably, the FA Cup Champions songs personally and to heart, but you did, and then started to get insulting.

    Fat, indeed! I’ve been called some things in my time, but fat???? I suggest you go to Specsavers, lad.

    Good night

    How’a about this then?

    The first teamclub in the history of the FA Cup ever to have referred to themselves es FA Cup Champions rather than Winners or Holders are, unsurprisngly, the thick as shit fans of Wigan Athletic.

    Which is no surprise really, as they fail to sing the correct words to their own signature tune (… “you never notice”?) and couldn’t even work out that when adopting the chant from the Zulte Waragem fans of “Zul…. te…” that they should have taken the opportunity to use the syllables “Wig…. an…” and used the more neanderthal “Oooh… ah” instead.

    Debate it all you want. FA Cup Champions is just wrong.

    Lock the thread.

    this chat was going great til you put your high and mighty than thou act on. missus thinks you were bullied as a lad

    And you need to get yourself a sense of humour. Ask your wife if you can borrow hers. She must have a decent one, if marrying you is anything to go by.

    None of which alters that fact that I’m right. Again.[/quote]

    there you go being personal again fat lad. your missus must have skin as thick as your belly in that pic to keep up with you. you know what they say about lads who are always talking about it they are never doing it. just by saying your right all the time must be a right bore to everyone around you and your unfuny combacks when you are obviously wrong must irratate the crap out of you. try to be humble sometimes people might start to like you[/quote]

    Fat? Aye alright, pal. I have enough friends mate, without worrying whether people I couldn’t give a flyer about like me or not.

    It’s winner, not champions – get over it, you’re wrong. All the clever lads that have posted on this thread have said winners and all the daft lads have said champions. Take a hint.

    And JR, I thought that we were still in the love-in phase, or has the ceasefire ended?

    “thick as pigshyte” Barnsley

    This phrase, like so many we use today, derives from the plays of Shakespeare.

    King Henry the Fourth Part Two;

    Doll Tearsheet – They say Pointz has a good wit.

    Falstaff – He a good wit? hang him, baboon! his wit’s as thick as Tewkesbury mustard; there’s no more conceit in him than is in a mallet.

    When it comes to insults, I think that Shakespeare still has the edge.

    And what would you know about Shakespeare, you being thick as pigshit and all that? ;)

    in reply to: How Long Before “Bottom Four Bob” #127756
    And for the trillionth time, he didn’t say that Bob would get um in the bottom four, his phrase was “wrong end of the table”. Read the first post again FFS. :angry:

    The “bottom four” bob was the nickname Martinez was given by some posters on here, cos that’s where he had us for most of his tenure. Just like you are known by many as “thick as pigshyte” Barnsley. :P

    PS; lying 7th in the table at the moment Everton are 3 places from a champions league place and 4 places from a bottom half place. mmmmm velly interlesting. :whistle:

    So where exactly does the “wrong end of the table” start? Because I’ll bet you a pound to a pinch of shit that when the original poster said wrong end, he actually meant bottom four.

    The entitlement is 15% (unless of course you are playing Arsenal and might have a chance of beating them)

    Hardly likely to apply to Sunderland then, is it?

    Rosler seems to like Beausejour and is very patient with McClean. Unlike some of our fans.

    I have been a big critic of McClean because I expected more from him. He certainly seems to be improving by the game, for sure.

    in reply to: Ben Watson update #127572
    Good question.

    I think Wigan could let let the contact expire, but keep paying his wages until he has recovered.

    When he has recovered, they could offer him a new contract or formally release him.

    Sadly for Ben, I think you’re right. Because depending on how he recovers, there is no guarantee that they will now offer him a new contract in June.

    This will be a test of Whelan, the hard-nosed business man – will he abandon his ruthless, cold business logic and show some compassion for a fellow broken limb-ee against his better judgement? Doubt it.

    in reply to: Ben Watson update #127571

    Just been talking to someone who works at Wigan infirmary,they saw Watson being wheeled from xray on a trolley,he is on Orrell ward,has broke his leg.Being taken to Liverpool hospital they think,why i don’t know nor did they.Awful news for Ben and Latics.

    Judging by the crack I heard last night, I think that is the single most unsurprising piece of news I have heard in my entire adult life. ;)

    He’s probably being moved to Liverpool away from prying eyes and keyboards.[/quote]

    So you have xray eyes and saw it was a break straight away.Wow I know you think your God but don’t think anyone knew until scans etc.Not prying eyes just passing him by,he unlike you was very pleasant.
    Also he is going to a place in Liverpool called Shaw,a private one,so no one can get at him because Griff says so.[/quote]

    He is such a charmer is mr popular ignore him most people do ![/quote]

    We play nicely on here now. But, most people don’t ignore me – you clearly can’t sweet cheeks, can you?

    Nope, no x-ray eyes, just not surprised, as many others have already said not just me, from the noise, the reaction of other players from both teams, the medical staff, it was fairly obvious that it wasn’t a twisted sock.

    And they are likely to be less interested and giddy about Watson in a Liverpool private hospital so that doesn’t surprise me either.

    Don’t get all upset now, just because no-one is impressed with your scoop.

    The game was won by half time. Therefore considering the situation we are currently in , playing catch up in the league and still in the cup , it was obvious we would coast through the second half. The high intensity game that Uwe wants us to play means if we do get a chance to coast for 45 minutes then coast we must.

    Highlight of the game by a country mile was the threaded pass by McEachran that played Jean in. Absolute joy to watch.

    Indeed. If only Jean had had the conviction to just put his foot through the ball and go for goal.
