    Best performance for quite a while. That said, Forest were awful.

    Let’s hope we can continue as today…agree Morsy made the difference with Gomez when he came on….and the Fire has been rekindled :woohoo:

    Who do we want in the draw tomorrow? A lower league side and see how far we can get or ManUre etc next round? As usual, we’ll probably get another team from our division….I’m betting Derby away :unsure:

    I work on 3 and its open

    Cheers for that simmpool.

    in reply to: Our stadium #153835

    It’s a very fair point.

    When the ground was being planned Egg chasing wasn’t on the agenda (apart from Orrell). From memory crowds were around 6k when the ground first opened.

    That prat Mowbray who was commentating last night always had it in for us forever going on about rows of empty seats. Had it been built as 15k and full every week he would have said we lacked ambition.

    I think DW was planning for the future when he went for 25k. During the first prem season I remember there was talk of filling in the corners to get to 30k.

    That seems a very long time ago now!

    Let’s hope tomorrow is the turning point; a good win could be the springboard to better league form.

    On the other hand, a defeat and well…. :ohmy:

    Perhaps you are looking into the tunnel vision of our owners!! ( Cue The Twilight Zone theme tune! )

    When you’re in a hole, stop digging…. :S

    We’ve just lost to what on paper are by far the worst team in the division.

    So that makes us…. :S

    We’re in a very long tunnel sadly.

    agreed, the last man in shorts nearly wrecked the club.

    Apart from looking ridiculous, it shows up the mindset of an ex player who would rather still be one of the lads.

    Being a successful manager requires a different mindset…plenty of average or very limited players became top managers (SAF being the prime example); not many top players have become top managers.

    in reply to: Joyce A Big Mistake #153469

    I know where you’re coming from.

    Yootha does come across as still being a reserve coach away from the spotlight, rather than the manager in the front line.

    A manager needs to be at times detached from the players; they should look up to their manager not see him as one of the lads. I can’t imagine Mourinho putting out the cones before the game!

    Agree a manager should wear a suit. Wearing shorts looks ridiculous especially in winter. Surprised Dave Snr hasn’t had a word with him :S

    Tomorrow won’t do Yootha any real favours as we should win…if we were not to win it would be disaster for him. How we do against Derby & Huddersfield will be much more relevant.

    in reply to: Happy Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2017 to all #153461

    Cheers Rich…same to you and all your Clan and all of our fellow contributors.

    Remember, we must always stick together against the rest of the footballing world. They laughed at us, they ridiculed us, they said we shouldn’t be in the Premier League…or the Football League for that matter.

    Fook the lot of em…we are Wigan…our name is on the FA Cup for all time.

    Let’s enjoy an old classic….

    Wet myself watching this tonight…too much PC sh!te nowadays. At least Yootha wore a blue dress lol

    in reply to: Forest Cup tickets #153438

    Good news!

    Just tried again and it’s now working. Comes up on the main tickets screen as a reserved ticket.

    Jamesc, can you confirm the source for your earlier assertion?

    in reply to: Forest Cup tickets #153436

    Has anyone managed to solve this yet?
    I still can’t get to my seats, and I refuse to pay for a premium phonecall, an admin fee, and have to hope on the tickets being posted with all the staff being off over the holidays, when online I buy them whenever and print at home.
    I’ve tried messaging the club, but not really getting anywhere.

    Funny you should post now GL, I was just about to!

    Just been on ticket website, absolutely no change…no progress at all.

    Nothing on the website about how to claim our seats. Why should ST have to ring up when anyone else can go online and print off ticket at home, as you say?[/quote]

    The answer to that question is because you have the privilege of securing your own seat, even though they are on general sale.!

    If you want your own seat that badly, get on the phone[ if you don’t have a mobile phone, I guess someone in your household will], or nip to the ground to claim your seat if you don’t want to pay the £2 booking fee.
    If you are not that bothered about sitting in your season card seat, do what all non season ticket holders are doing and book online, its a simple as that.
    Not really a thing to moan about, given the amount of time you have had to claim your seat and just a tenner at that. :huh:[/quote]

    Is that the official club position? There’s nothing on the website to confirm any instructions for ST holders :unsure:[/quote]

    Yes, it is.[/quote]

    Source?

    If it is the official position, I won’t be going on principle and would encourage other ST’ers to stay away as well. The attendance will be poor at best, so why make it difficult for us to claim our seats?

    Good riddance. Arrogant, conceited person.

    Made my Christmas already :P

    Thanks Sky Sports News.

    He is a good manager, very good in fact.[/quote]

    Can’t stand the bloke personally, but like you say he’s a decent enough manager.[/quote]

    Perhaps those of us questioning Yootha’s future need to bear in mind the old phrase of “be careful what you wish for” :ohmy: :S
