Never done it but heard good things. Apparently Harrison Ford and his bird swear by them as they never get ‘moidered’.
Any good??Is a case of Pub Crawling the canal, or is it just a sight seeing tour
No I didn’t take it personally Griff I just think you’re a bit harsh on us for daring to voice our opinions. I don’t share your respect for the abilities of Martinez and his team just because they’ve been paid to play the game at one time and at a far lower level. Whatever he is doing is not working and should not be exempt from criticism. I recognise it’s difficult for smaller clubs to stay in the prem but I still expect us to fight.
Took that a bit personal there, didn’t you Hugh?Firstly, i was including myself on the spotty Herbert brigade.
Secondly, the pundits dont choose to play possession football and wingers on the “wrong” side, coaches do. The coaches who have all (mostly) played the game professionally. I’ll take their opinion before yours, mine and anybody else’s on here.
But, as I already said, you are perfectly well entitled to your opinion. So am I, and I am also entitled to deliver it sarcastically, if I choose
I suppose if you go in any given pub in the area then you’re probably right. But the majority population as a whole in Wigan probably don’t care about any of them. My local is full of armchair ultras who’ve never been since they closed Central Park. I may have a walk up and support an aussie team for only the second time in my life, the first being when they won the America’s Cup in 1983 off the cheating New York Yacht Club.
Sorry Griff but as a paying customer I think I’m entitled to an opinion. You are of course free to make sarcastic and patronising remarks but bear in mind these professionals you refer to get paid, and seem to mindlessly follow whatever is flavour of the month in the coaching manuals no matter how boring or ineffectual. Professional sports clubs have a duty to entertain not make me feel relieved when we don’t have a match. As a paying fan I want to see more direct football and a few risks being taken and more goals scored by us, not back wards and sideways 3 foot passes by overpaid gimps. As for fannying around on message boards all day all I can say is you must be a boss at your work place.
Don’t know the answer for sure, but on one side of the argument you have professional people who have played and coached at the highest level favouring this backwards and sideways keep possession type thingy, and on the other side are a bunch of spotty herberts fannying about on message boards all day.All about opinions, though.
Good point mate and one of life’s great mysteries.
It appears passing backwards and sideways is fashionable like playing wingers who are right footed on the left etc.
I’d have more time for your point if we were actually allowed to post on the ‘cherry and shoites’ forum without it being deleted after 5 mins. But RL people are impossible. I tried being magnanimous with the few people who I know are interested in this so called rugby town but its a waste of time. Most of them will be watching from their locals anyway. Yawwwwwwwwwn !!
Don’t think it will affect tomorrow’s gate just want it to overshadow the worriers game on Sunday.
Of course it will overshadow Wigan v St George – the southern-bias media will always make sure of that.
I doubt that is the case in Wigan though, where Sunday’s game will be of far more importance to the town as a whole than any sporting event in the world this weekend.[/quote]
Why not give him, a chance? He’s a decent enough keeper who left on good terms. If we offer him a short term contract and he keeps off the sauce then it would be a good signing. Al Habsi will be off in the summer anyway.
Don’t think it will affect tomorrow’s gate just want it to overshadow the worriers game on Sunday. Any references to Rugby Union seem to give them a real bee in their bonnet.
Loved his goal against Gillingham at Wembley 2000 would love some footage of this but couldn’t even get any off Youtube. The goal would be worthy of any Prem player and we were in the 3rd tier back then.
Also remember a last gasp goal against Bristol Rovers when we first moved into the JJB in 1999 which won the match for us.
I didn’t know Zaki and Mido were still here.
LMB cannot accept that the players are in way to blame for poor performances. It is all the fault of Martinez, as is everything else.
I’ve heard the Egyptians are planning a protest for him to resign[/quote]
I bet if the police cracked a few heads these little tossers would be moaning about their human rights.
Started off in the south 1999-2002 ish and then defected to the west after trying the north (before it was colonised by away fans) and east which seemed alien and primitive.
Now happily settled in the west with the army of Victor Meldrews who never sing.
Watching the noblot fans who over celebrated being ejected from the West Stand posh seats after fans in our vicinity pointed them out to the stewards and started the “Out ! Out! Out!” chant.
Away fans who over celebrate in the wrong end display ulitmate bad manners, and ideally should be set upon like in the film ’28 Days Later’.
