    Wow. The lady doth protest too much.

    Mini MUFC kit? Do you ever go through a single day without telling lies?

    Pathetic. Go back under your rock.

    I suggest you look at your own mates for the liar, I haven’t a clue one way or another, and honestly couldn’t give a dam, but it seems by your reply that your statement “Wow. The lady doth protest too much” has a certain amount of irony in it.

    I wont bother with an insult to finish I will leave that to you oh mighty one.

    from a Derby fan on Derbymad

    Hind-sight imbues great wisdom but let’s face it this result was clearly written on the Fickle Mistress Football’s chalk-board. When SMcC said this would be a different game to the last New Year’s day one I did wonder if that was the right message to give out. WAFC are the best side to have visited the iPro this season; full of great energy and movement from first to last, they pressed Derby very high up; for example at one point in the game, Butland received the ball back from a centre-half 4 times in the space of 5 seconds as the Wigan men harried and closed in. It always looked like a game that Wigan could win and shows that they are definitely in a false position int he table. They will be top 6 come the season’s end. Rossler clearly is a master tactician and will be able to sell his pre-match recipe to other Championship managers. That said, Wigan showed gargantuan bucket fulls of energy and athleticism and clearly have the squad to get right back up the slippery slope. Calero should have been given a pop today as a sub rather than the hapless Best who would actually struggle to find that cow’s **** with an extra-wide banjo.
    We will thank Wigan for this football lesson because today we played very poorly. Sometimes getting to the top of the table results in a bout of misplaced complacency and it showed today. :ohmy: :ohmy:

    you would of thought LMB would have posted this elsewhere :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

    Shouldn’t you be watching United on the box? You know the United you used to go and watch every week in the 70s?

    Funny what comes out when someone you know in passing comes up to you in a pub and asks you “who is that knobhead, LMB, that keeps having a pop at you for watching United when you were 7?”. Funny that, when you tell him LMB’s real name he says “Behave, is it really! He was a United fan in the 70s, I used to catch the bus with him and few others from Wigan and go to Old Trafford to watch them all the time.”

    Funny that, eh?[/quote]

    Ask your contact how many times I went to old Trafford with him in the seventies, I think you may be surprised with the answer.

    I went a few times with lads I was at school with if my parents and meagre paper round money could fund it, but then again who didn’t.

    If truth be told Spurs or Celtic were my favourites in my school days but getting to their games was impossible, I was born and brought up near Springfield Park and most matches saw us sneaking in the ground, everyone in our gang were Latics fans but all had big teams they followed via MOTD, many are big Lqtics fans to this day despite the misguided loyalty we all had as kids.

    When I started work and had my own income c.1974 I had already met and was ‘courting’ my wife(Lynne) who has managed to put up with me for the following 40 years, so I wasn’t the slightest bit interested in anything other than what we did together, When we got in the league in 1978 we both have had season tickets on and off ever since, since we moved to the DW we have had family season tickets every season.

    Before we had kids and before 1st division games became all ticket we used to go all over the northwest to watch live games if Latics didn’t have a game or it was too far away for us to travel to, sometimes we would do 2 or three games a week it was our hobby, if you want to accuse me of supporting another club I should tell you about Tranmere Rovers during their rise up to the edge of the first division, because they played Friday evenings I saw most of their home games for two or more years.

    No griff, despite you wetting yourself and desperately waiting for an opportunity to ‘out’ me it has spectacularly misfired, I am sorry to disappoint you I have never been a MUFC fan and I certainly have never driven around in a car with an mini MUFC kit dangling in the back window like you used to do.

    in reply to: Figueroa #134348

    Just like having the old Figueroa back.

    Embarrassingly one footed, struggles to beat a man, and regularly over-hits passes.

    He’ll fit right in.

    Flaming heck Jonny that’s the second negative post off you today, when a dyed in the wool ‘company man’ like you does that things must be dire.[/quote]
    I think it’s due to the inclement weather.[/quote]

    Your getting soft lad, it must be all those company paid foreign jolly’s to exotic places that is causing it.

    in reply to: Tonight’s team #134347

    Seriously, what were the chances? Suggests to me that he’s getting desperate, or that Whelan had a word.

    Sad thing is, though, playing 442 made no difference.

    It may have looked 4-4-2 on paper but the reality of what we saw is somewhat different, how can it be considered 2 up front when they play so far apart and don’t interact on one occasion.[/quote]

    That just means they’re shit. The clamour was for two strikers. We got two strikers. We got no goals. Do we want Rosler to actually go out there and score the goals for them?

    On paper, so I keep being told, we have the best squad in the league. The reality is somewhat different[/quote]

    For probably the only time ever in our interaction/spats, you wont get any argument whatsoever from me on your post.

    First ever winners

    No we wasn’t, AFC Bournemouth were the first winners.

    in reply to: England game tonight #134049
    The pool of players we have to pick from is decreasing year on year due to all the foreign players playing in the English league system.
    I don’t think the situation will get much better without some stricter quotas being brought in to limit the amount of overseas players.

    Flaming hell, the UKip guide to football administration.

    in reply to: 5-4-Friday… 5 decent jobs #133650

    My first job was at Parry’s in Frog Lane and I was paid £7 50 a week. The slaughter house was still there then and all you could hear was the animals squealing as they met their end. Best job I have had was at Butlins Skegness and now as a trucker I have the worst job.

    There was no slaughterhouse anywhere near Parry’s in Frog Lane, the animal noises you heard was from Wigan Cattle Market which was owned and operated by J.Trickett and sons Ltd. Auctioneers of King Street Wigan, who just happened to be my first part time employers other than an earlier paper round and Saturdays at a wholesale butchers 50 yards from Parry’s called Morris and Sons.[/quote]

    LMB, the place im on about was somewhere behind Parrys possibly Prescott Street area but it was close enough to be able to hear not just the squeals but the bolt guns going off as well, was horrible. Also we had a real problem with rats and mice which old man Parry said was down to said place. Was in 1974 I worked there marrer.[/quote]

    I was born and bred just up Gidlow Lane 500yds from Parry’s, I actually remember the old terraced houses being knocked down and Parry’s being built the place was definitely Wigan Cattle Market which sold cattle, pigs and sheep and every now and again it had horse sales. The entrance gate was to the left of Parry’s on the corner of Prescott Street and ran all the way down to the railway, the boundary high wall is still visible.

    It was where we played as kids in the mid 60’s and where I had a part time job in my summer holidays from school from about 1970ish for 5 or 6 years, it was never a slaughter house in those days, although you are correct about the rats it was riddled with them, and where we as youngsters developed our airgun skills.

    in reply to: Malky #133030
    Whilst certainly not condoning what Mackay said, who felt it necessary to leak these messages? Is this not phone hacking?

    On the subject of “God and Christianity”, “our Great Country” and putting the “great back into Britain” we been busy making Britain “Great” for many hundreds of years by invading and occupying other countries, stealing their land and resources and imposing our religious values on people that were quite content not bothering anybody else with theirs.

    Thank “God” that’s all in the past then – oh, hang on……..!

    Don’t forget the mass genocide along the way in the name of “God and Christianity”

    in reply to: Malky #133028

    What has his personal text messages got to do with anyone else ? Leave the guy alone. Next, we’ll we castigated for even thinking any non PC thoughts !!! There are far to my ” ass licking do gooders” ruining this country !!! Speak up and let’s put the great back into Britain !!!

    And we now see the real reason all these immigrants favour these shores. It is not for the Oh so generous benefits system (indeed they can get just as much on Continental Europe). It is because of the very high racial tolerance levels imposed upon us by these left wing, pinko, teeth sucking, hand wringing plebeians who have taken God and Christianity out of our Great Country and mock us with their multi-cultural idealism. The swathes of ethnic ‘no-go’ areas across this country increases daily – yet to speak out brings cries of ‘Racist’ and ‘Bigot’. The Germans and the French certainly do not tolerate this in their countries and one has even gone as far as banning the burqa.

    Free Speech and National Identity is now officially dead, and Malky is yet another casualty of this unspeakable, overpowering minority thought police. I fear for our children and grandchildren – I honestly do.[/quote]

    Christianity in this country is a myth brought out and used in anti whatever religion rants like this, 90% of White British people have NO religion and certainly don’t give a frig about god.

    Look at the attendances across Britain this weekend at football matches alone then look how many “Christians” are in church tomorrow, football is a bigger religion by far.

    edit

    Just for your benefit, did you know that the overwhelming majority of “these immigrants favouring these shores” are WHITE CHRISTIANS coming from eastern Europe, but I suppose that does not fit in with your anti Muslim rant.

    Perm any 8 from 10, 45 lines at 1d per bet = 3/9d ….. :)

    You’ve just given me a flashback…

    5. 9, 13, 17, 26, 35, 39, 44

    … were the 8 numbers my mum and dad used to pick each week on Littelwoods and as soon as I read this thread they came back to me as if it was yesterday. It wasn’t yesterday – they stopped doing the 8 from 10s over 30 years ago.

    Scary that I can remember those so readily but I have no idea what my wife’s mobile number is.[/quote]

    Ah but can you remember whose birthdates and house numbers they corresponded to.

    in reply to: Grant Holt #132913
    Cardiff played with two decent ones up front who combined to score their goal. We played with one up front again, and a shite one at that.

    Maynard is NOT decent he is crap, Jones is a rubbish footballer, but is a decent header of the ball so is ok if you play to those strengths, the difference tonight is Cardiff were up against a defence that doesn’t know how to keep a clean sheet.
