New season, new manager, new division (the wrong one sadly…)
Welcome Mr Cook.
There isnt the quality in Lg 1 to trouble us at the back if we’re properly organised.
Far be it from me to stir the cauldron on the Chef’s first day, but FFS play two up front and take the division by the scruff of the neck.I sincerely hope i’m wrong (as usual :ohmy:) but I fear a boring season of mid table obscurity if we don’t go for it.
Also finishing fifth in the league. Blackpool finished in Seventh position and went up. Millwall finished Sixth and went up.
This is the play-offs right or wrong but here to stay.Yes, so often the team finishing 3rd has just missed automatic promotion and is on a real downer going into the play offs. Brighton last season being a classic example.
The team finishing 6th is sometimes 12-15 points behind 3rd place but they start again from scratch. 6th place team is often on a high because they scraped into the play offs when they were maybe 10th 3 games earlier.
I think they should simplify the play offs to give much greater priority to the original table. My idea would be –
Keep the Wembley final, but 3rd place team should go straight into the final.
2 other games only.
6th to play away at 5th. One off game, extra time, penalties…loser out, winner through to play away to 4th. Same again, loser out winner then to Wembley to play 3rd.Fair play to Huddersfield, thought they were by far the better side yesterday. Thought it wouldn’t be their day after missing those 2 chances inside 10 minutes.
Always good to see yet another club reach the PL. Proof to the rest yet again that it is possible to climb the football pyramid and reach the top tier and a reminder to those in the PL that no club has a God given right to be in the PL (eg Villa) it has to be earned year on year.
To all those who thought the club would take the cheap option and give GB the job permenantly,,,YOU WERE WRONG!Be careful what you wish for JR :lol:
Steve Kean was seen in Wigan today.
Don’t panic, so was Elvis and the Loch Ness Monster B)
Big Sam is available lol.Says he doesn’t want another manager job…he’ll change his mind by August ;)
Prides himself on never having been relegated. Then again, he’s never been our manager. What was that myth about no one’s won the FA Cup and….
All I have to say on the matter is, “if you throw enough mud…..it sticks”.Everytime we have a terror attack, it seems to be muslims representing the Islamic State. They are intent on destroying our democracy and our way of life. They regard us as infidels, and that is why they targeted those young kids, mainly young girls, who dare to support a popular culture and way of life.
I think we do need to look at taking some special.measures with muslims in the UK. They, the terrorists and brainwashed, are here and among us. There’s no common enemy in a uniform. Nowhere is safe.
Time to clamp down.
What do you suggest? Intern them on the Isle of Man?
We must never give in or let these excuses for human beings stop us going about our lives. We need to show solidarity with the Muslim community (and they with us). To divide and cause hatred is these animals aim.
I’m posting this from an Irish bar in Berlin airport on way back to Manchester. When the IRA evil were killing we didn’t ban Irish people. We didn’t shut Catholic churches. We knew it was a few scum who needed dealing with.
I’ve seen memorials yesterday to the horrors Germany inflicted but today Berlin is the fastest growing Jewish community in the world. An eye for an eye makes the world blind.An increase was inevitable after last year’s bargain basement at £179. That said going to £269 is more than I was expecting (thought it would be £229-£249 region) and the individual prices look high at up to £28…
I heard a rumour Yootha Joyce is appearing for Norway in tonight’s
debacleshow.Once brexit is complete, will we no longer have to enter this annual embarrassment?
It certainly clicked for Bobby when it mattered I thought we were superb in the final but that was his Achilles heel consistency. Overall I would have PJ’s Latics all day and the shed full of goals we scored. But as you rightly say preference.
People would rather watch a team win than lose? Hold the presses!!
Only jokng, those sides we had under Jewell were class and just had a desire to win no matter what.
Always remember conceding against Notts County in the 90th minute in a game we were 3-0 up in but as it was the first goal we had conceded in something like 9 games John Filan, Jason De Vos and Matt Jackson were all clearly irate at the fact they had scored.[/quote]
Reminds me of leaving the ground after close of play after the Reading game. Everyone else was floating so high like we’d been breathing helium, but there was this fella really giving it some because Reading scored in injury time and he had £10 on Wigan 3-0 with Super Lee first goal :lol:
Same chap probably came out of Wembley effing and blinding because we didnt win 2-0 :silly:
Anything up to the £250 mark would be acceptable, but I think we might be looking at renewals being similar to this year.
I think new incentives should be looked at, perhaps a 5 or 10 game ticket for the floaters and those that can’t go every week and find on the day prices too expensive.
We should certainly be looking at cutting pay on the day prices as that has put loads off recently.Audience in the East/South looked very thin today[/quote]
Do you sit in the west stand, cos that looked thin from the east stand.[/quote]
Glad you think my diet’s working :lol:

ST prices are tricky. My immediate reaction would be they need to freeze the prices given relegation. But this season’s tickets were very cheap at £179 renewal. Probably get away with £199 renewal but into the £200’s I agree there could be a substantial reduction in renewals (I’ll be there of course ;) )
