first few chapters are beltin….I cant put the book down!!
He (Whelan) has done a lot for this club and Wigan….He is Wigan through and through….
…I will be back with a book update soon ;)
only problem we will have is having right size of green house to grow our players in :roll:
There are more profitable things to grow in a greenhouse, why waste the space on football players.[/quote]
Can’t see how tomato’s would help raise funds
…do you meen you would sell them to Heinz? :geek:
so in effect, the big clubs will take the younger “home grown” players from the smaller clubs and the smaller clubs will suffer…
Typical FA and PL :evil:
There will be a maximum squad of 25 & 8 of em have to be “home grown”
Home grown will apparently be classed as anyone who has been with a club in the english or welsh fa’s for at least 3 years from the age of 16 or sometEDIT
From the bbc website:
“To qualify as home grown, a player will have had to be registered for at least three seasons at an English or Welsh club between the ages of 16 and 21”not really home grown…for instance, Chelsea pick up a 16yr old French lad, he is in the system for 3 years, then he becomes home grown??? WTF – so not English home grown, but just like it is now….
….so what is the difference then??
We won, but we were abysmal. If you enjoyed that, I can only assume your favourite Latics team included Wayne Entwistle, Phil Daley, Andy Ainscow, Don Page etc.Don Page is a legend ;)
Do you know – I am wondering if I watched the same match as some of these on here!!!
From my view from ES3…
Thought we were quite fluid with our passing, moving the ball round well and not hoofing it up at every opportunity. Thought Diame was fantastic…reminds me a bit on Patrick Viera, can win a ball and has good feet (I think he will be better than Cattemole..so good business again Mr Whelan!!) ..he can also put it about when he needs to. Thomas was outstanding too as was N’Zogbia…and all this about Gomez, yes, he needs to quicken up a bit, but some of his touches and off the ball movement was superb…I thought it was a very entertaining game!
Things that wern’t so good but will improve…The back four need to talk more with Kirkland. There were several instances where Boyce or Bramble were sort of leaving the ball to run to Kirkland, an Arsenal or Chelsea would have capatilised on mistakes such as that…they need to focus.
I watch a lot of Spanish football and you can see what Bob is trying to do…If anybody watched the Madrid v Espanyol match you would have seen the gradual passing movement up the pitch, running into space, players playing off one another….and yes, both teams were playing with one up front (although it changed latter on in the game!) The football is excellent to watch.
More of the same please Bob!!
Did Joh Deehan have a magic hat?
Did the old ladies on the Torquay train think that Wiganers lived in mudhutts?
Did Carl Bradshaw bite a taxi mon’s finger off?
Was Graham Barrow allowed to keep his yellow Merc after Whelan sacked him?
How many Beanys and yellow banana’s did the club shop sell?
Did David Felgate really eat pigeons?cant wait myself…well looking forward to it!!! A few beers before the match….shouting for the blues at the match and walking back to the boozer after the match
its what Saturdays were made for :D :D :D
reserves ? 2002 leighton bains last mon make it tut first team squad,5yrs int premier league and no talent coming through imo were,s the newells,walshes,aspinalls etc.always had some good young uns int reserves int springfield park days.gone tut dogs youth setup at this club since we moved to jjb stadiumBit different bringing players from youth to play in the 3rd division and bringing them into a premiership team.
I thought McManaman was really good against Portsmouth at the end of the season. Steve Bruce also said both Polish lads were very good and he would have played them no problem is we were in the Championship…(If they wern’t fixing the showers or tiling Whelans bathroom that is ;) )
whale yellow water…not one to reply to my own posts but I thought I was going mad. I knew i put the word krap but it changed to rubbish….
anti-profanity….i like it
bollocks wanker cunt
I quite enjoyed reading that….can remember the 80’s/90’s springy days (we must be of similar ages) Climbing over the all weather pitch and getting that greasy anti-vandal crap on me Fred Flintstones jeans. Trying to get into the supporters club but for being yelled at by the old guy in the corridor who used to take money. The smell of chips walking out the back of the supporters club onto the terraces…the old black and white pictures in the supporters bar….waiting for the team bus to come back to Springfield after an away game….the changing sides at half time on St. Andrews drive. twisting my ankle when we scored because I was stood on the edge of the stand…
…ahhh, the days :D
I’ve been following this club longer than you, pal.For one, I’m older than you.
I mean, I bet I was supporting this club before you’d even heard of them. Yet another ‘young pup’ giving it the ‘big fan’ routine. Bull.
Don’t be thinking I’m a JCL, as I clearly am not. What? I started following this team, aged 9, in 1986. That was as a great team was being broke up. My first game was Warren Aspinall’s last match. By the following season, the team was very different.
In the years since 1986, I have missed SEVEN home games. Yes, indeed, I must be a JCL then, mustn’t I? :roll:You go on about football finances etc. Do you take in everything that’s in the press, and keep it for reference?
Oh, and you look like Rik Waller, judging by your Facebook pic. Yes, I know very well that you were ‘digging’. My security people informed me straight away. A word has already gone into the Facebook people. Any further intrusion will constitute stalking and harrassment. This is a federal offence governed by the data protection act 1998, and covers the retrieval and removal of personal information, etc.
To put it blunt, get over it. Whatever ‘gripe’ you have got with me, let it bloody go. Ok, we don’t agree. That’s what messageboards are all about.
VAT – not one to correct people publically, but if you are putting information about yourself on facebook/twitter etc, then you are entering information within the public domain relm, therefore does not consitute a breach of the Data Protection Act as you are deciding on content and how it is processed in line with Principle 6 of the Act.
Also, the Uk doesn’t have a Federal Law as our laws are not put together by a federal government, additionally, the DPA isnt governed by anyone other than itself and is overseen by the Information Commissioner’s Office. The DPA doesn’t cover the retrival or removal of data by an “unauthorised” entity, however, it does cover the security around the data processing, stroage and transission of personal data (Covered in Principle 7) – The Computer Misuse Act of 1990 and the Elecrtronic Communications Act of 2002 would cover this to some degree.
Just take it from someone who knows ;)
