Remember this chimp? How is the home of football looking next week? Are we going to set a new record for the lowest crowd for an FA Cup semi-final at the home of football?
Face it Egg, these people dont want to have a reasoned debate, based on facts, preferring to live in their Eutopian World. Even our bus-driving mod resorts to changing posts to suit his own agenda.
In fact, he’s on now, so you’ll probably not even get to see this post in its present format – it’ll probably look more like:
“I Hate the Warriors” 300 times!
Nah. Man City are. It just happens to be at the DW. If the foreign TV stations could airbrush the 11 Wigan players out of the game, they probably would.
Hopefully a worldwide audience wont be watching 3 sides of the ground full of empty seats.
Alternatively it could be seen that even the Indonesian Press see you as an “afterthought”, with a defeat to Swindon being written about at the very end of an article that discusses Fulham’s 4-0 win against Charlton and Stoke’s 3-1 win at Gillingham before it gets onto the Swindon v Wigan game.
Regularly last on Match of the Day. Last in a random Indonesian newspaper. When it comes to football, face it, you are an afterthought.
Has she ever thought of doubling for this lass:
Sometimes, it doesnt pay to be a world-famous club:

Nasib sial justru melanda Wigan Athletic. Tim garapan Roberto Martinez itu tersingkir di babak ketiga dari tangan tim Divisi Dua, Swindon Town. The Latics menyerah 1-2 di County Ground, kandang Swindon.
Look into my eyes.
The eyes.
Not around the eyes.
Wigan Warriors will get there own ground
3, 2, 1 and you are back in the real world.Mark, its THEIR, not THERE.
Get back to your school bus and this time ask the kids to teach you some spelling & grammar!

I doubt it Mr Fat.
Peanut hugging is a minority sport, played by a few M62 thugs, gets feck all publicity, whilst the FA Cup is the oldest, most popular knock-out competition in the world. Those ties I referred to totally deserve their several inches of colum space, both at home and worldwide.
Many people in Malaysia & Thailand will have never heard of Macclesfield or Wrexham before today.
Quite a few shocks today then:
Macclesfield leading Bolton before eventually drawing.
Crawley beating Bristol City.
Notts County winning at Doncaster.
Stevenage beating Reading.
Wrexham getting a draw at Brighton.Maybe more shocks tomorrow?
I dont think the standard has dropped – more like the bar has been raised by those with enough financial clout to not have to worry about anything other than where in the top 6 they will finish. Its a very closed-shop. In the previous 5 seasons, only Everton & Villa have made it into the top 6.
In August, you would have got pretty crap odds on the top 6 being made up of Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs & Liverpool. In fact, I’d be surprised if you could get good odds on it being the same 6 next season.
As I said, the ticket page for the South stand showed “Limited Availability”, with less than 200 tickets in the whole of the area. Are you seriously telling me that there were 5000 in that stand? :silly:
It was the same story for the Boston Stand, where the 4 centre blocks all had less than 100 seats in (out of 940). Again, the TV footage clearly shows half-full centre blocks. :lol:
Announcing a crowd which includes 5000 FREE tickets sounds a lot better than announcing what was potentially their lowest ever Premier League Crowd. :blush:
And of course the tax due to HMRC on 5000 FREE tickets = £0.00. ;)
Hope that clears it up for you!
a good turn out but lets not exaggerate.Unlike WAFC who announced a 15,000+ crowd for the game. I thought it looked sparce from my view in the North Stand, but watching the re-run on TV showed the Boston stand to be less full than normal – I would guess everyone in the West could have fitted in there, and those in the south could have probably squeezed in too.
That means there were 11,000 tops (less depending on whether you think Sunderland brought 1800 or 3500 (I’d say about 2,700 personally). I’m guessing the 5,000 freebies (South stand was almost full according to the ticket purchasing page) chose to stay at home due to the weather.
I’ll add my two-penn’orth about this.I’ve got a nasty attack of man flu at the moment (I know – terrible it is) so decided against going to the game yesterday and watched online. The best reliable stream I could get was with a Spanish commentary so I stuck with that.
The relevance of that trivia is that I watched it not surrounded by people leaping up giving their opinions, and not listening to commentators’ views. No matter what we may think of ourselves formulating opinions we are greatly influenced by others around us.
And I didn’t see an atrocious referee performance. Yes – on seeing the replays the free-kick leading to their goal didn’t appear correct – but it wasn’t so bizarre as some decicions we have seen. Even if we concede a free kick you have to say it was a well-taken goal.
We lost because we faff about in midfield. We were building all very pretty stuff, a joy to behold, in the first two thirds, but any nearer goal we go to pieces. We lost due to our own inability to score or to defend. If points were given for passes completed we would be in the Champions League. But they’re not and we aren’t.
Blame the referee as much as you like – I blame the players.
I may disagree with you on several levels, but I believe you Sir are 100% correct with your diagnosis (of the game, not man-flu!!!)
