Bring back Zaki…
Wasn’t he world ranked number 1 striker when he signed for us? Even the Mrs said there had to be a catch :ohmy:
Looked to me like 9 players where second to every ball so fear of knocks for team selection on Saturday.
Looked to me like 9 players who know there’s absolutely zip chance of them playing on Saturday and therefore couldn’t give a toss last night.
No harm done, as it happens.[/quote]
No harm done ? Did Brighton, Ipswich and Bournemouth not all win and put themselves just 6 points behind us ! A 9 point cushion with just 5 to play would have been a whole lot easier on the nerves, especially as the aforementioned sides all have winnable on Saturday when we are otherwise engaged ![/quote]
Keep calm and carry on….as they say.
Win the 2 homes games left and we’re 99% in the play offs.
Just remember what happened the game before the cup final…look how we bounced back.
I feel more confident about Saturday after last night, choosing my words carefully ;)
Don’t forget Aston Vile , Man ure , cup less palace ,Joke city!
baa diff is a cracker btw Griff !!The Cardiff one is a classic, I won’t disagree there for once in a while :lol:
Is there a similar one for their friends down the road?
Just had a look on Oddschecker.
Our win odds for Saturday vary from 21/4 down to 10/3! That’s a serious cut from 8/1 a few days ago.
We are 9/4 favourites to win the play offs. Derby 11/4 QPR 3/1
Update….
I’ve looked again in the last minute, our best price is now 5/1…someone’s putting money on us somewhere!!
Since I rather foolishly started the topic, being without 4 brain cells according to our resident sage…
+2 tickets in 501
Setting off about 5.30 (if the wife’s up in time :S ) drive to outlying Tube station (aka 11/5/13, 11/8/13, 24/8/13 then heading into the Smoke for a look round and luncheon at a Pizza place
Stopping off on the way back at a Premier Inn just off junction 9 off M1.
Costs..Don’t ask.
About £45 in diesel. Hotel is £58. M6 tolls £10. T’Underground £12.50×2. Lunch int smoke £40. Programme £6? Ales at ground £??? Coffes, snackes/meal as well….
Tickets already cost £100
Worth every penny…up the Latics.
Plz don’t question my support (Griff) :ohmy:
Tuesday was the beautiful draw. Today was the ugly win…
I know which I prefer, especially at the business end of the season.
Cracking set of results this afternoon with only Reading winning. 9 points clear of the play off chasing pack, 4 of them now!
Next Tuesday will be even uglier, well at the Millwall end at least.
Shame he can’t play against Arsenil
Please God, let that have been a simple typo :unsure:[/quote]
unless leyland is meaning that arsenal won’t score.[/quote]
;) :lol:
An excellent way to celebrate his permanent arrival too!!
Spot fixing is very difficult to prove. Unless you bowl for Pakistan.
Online bookmakers are to blame ultimately for this latest fraud. Without them there would be no conduit for this crime.
Just read that whilst we had the doubtful honour of being the first team to be relegated and win the cup, there is a precedent for winning the cup and being promoted to the top flight.
West Brom in 1930-1 apparently.
You just never know with football ;) :woohoo:
Very close call this year between the two.
Last season definitely win the cup over staying up.
I miss the TV coverage of the Prem, if not the politics and over hype! To defend the cup would put us on the map forever (if we aren’t already on it :lol: )
Last season’s cup run we did get a lot of luck in the draw, Everton aside, to the final. No critic, even Mowbray, could say we’ve been lucky this year with the draw!
I’ll go for win the cup again, just
Top match that tonight. In the end the result was probably a fair one.
We proved tonight we are the only team in the division who can give Leicester a real fight on current form.
Some cracking passes by Jordi and his corners were a real threat. McArthur had a top game as well I thought.
Definitely looking for 6 points from next 2, 9 from 3 and we should be pretty much nailed on for the play offs.
I must admit I struggle to understand the mentality of some of our fans. I’ve heard so many people who I consider, and they probably would too, to be diehards that arent going. They’ve spent all season saying Thank God we’re shut of the Premier League, they would prefer another FA Cup win to promotion etc. etc. then turn round and say they are missing Wembley so thay can afford to go to Burnley, Blackburn and last Saturday to Bolton. So depsite all they said previously, they decided to cheer the team on towards a division they don’t want us to be in at the expense of cheering the team on to a cup they claim to want to win again.Never in a month of Sunday’s did I believe genuine Latics’ fans would be blase about an FA Cup semi final. I find it a bit depressing really.
Going to Wembley should be the priority IMHO. Just never know when/if we will go again, although the prospects look promising for May :cheer:
I was planning to go to Bolton, but missed it to save up for Wembley….
Bet that was an eye opener for the Germans. Welcome to Leigh – Twinned with 1835.
Ha ha!!![/quote]
It least it’s not twinned with 1860 :lol:
Anything that hits the back of the net is a good goal but the City pen was a poor penalty for me , you hit it hard and right in any of the four corners and if the keeper saves it hats of to him , that’s my preference .Easily said typing on here… :S
Hit it hard into the corners greatly increases the chances of missing the target. Straight down the middle will score nearly always…eg Gary Linaker v Cameroon.
Do prefer a bit of power though, wherever it’s hit B)
