James McClean seems to have recovered from the dead leg that forced him out of the last league fixture. He managed almost all the ROI’s game on Fri, being man of the match, and was a 2nd half substitute last night.
If he’s in form and fit, then I’d be surprised if he didn’t start in the league game.
a rather full Wembley on Saturday.:lol: :lol: :lol:
Like there was a “rather full” DW last night. I wonder when it will next have over 22,000 in?
Im guessing wembley will be fuller than it was on 13 April 2013 for the soccerball semi final between the Wigan Latics and the Millwall Brawlers. There’s hardly any seats available on the bottom two rows, and the top row seem quite full along the sides.
would be like watching premier league crap like sunderland week in week outIs that the same Sunderland who have beaten Newcastle, Southampton and Manchester City in their last three home games?
Enjoy your game this weekend against the Brighton Bluebeards or whatever they are called.
Its setting up nicely for the semis, with the three expected teams all making it through.
Im looking forward to the double-header at what appears to be a rather full Wembley on Saturday.
When will you learn??You should work for the Sun. They don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.

And you sir should still believe in Santa and the tooth fairy.
That said, I applaud WAFCs stance for not involving McClean in the squad this weekend. If Sunderland had done the same thing last year and dropped him from their game at Everton, citing a minor knock as the reason, then nobody would have been the wiser to his pro-IRA stance.
If he doesnt and Coyle lets him play.
Sack em both!!!Let’s see when it happens. Stop trying to stir things.I wasnt. It was a genuine question as I dont know if it was just PL clubs who wore them. His refusal to wear one pretty much finished his career at Sunderland, such was the feeling amongst the vast majority of the support. He was pretty much booed for the rest of the season.
Anyway, it seems that his new national management team dont have an issue with it, just as they didnt when they managed Sunderland:
also they filled more than half of the away end something the Giants fail to do consistently being less than 50 miles away….Which makes the 19,000+ crowd on 9 Aug for the visit of Huddersfield to Wigan all the more impressive.
As it been cancelled this World Cup tis all gone quiet :S :S :SYou’ve certainly gone very quiet when it comes to answering simple questions:
35 – please tell me how that compares to the last time Huddersfield played at the DW?Runners up 48 weve just started playing rl 5 years ago (France) 0
That’s just not true I’m afraid – France has a very long history of playing rugby league down in the South West. Catalan XIII, Perpignan, Toulouse etc were playing long before Super League invented Catalan Dragons, and France were regular opponents of Great Britain.
Hardly surprising he got it wrong – the bloke cant even answer questions correctly on his chosen sport that he’s followed for 35 years. What chance has he of getting a rugby fact right? :lol:
And I note that even though there was a full house at Huddersfield, enough travelling fans made it across to the DW to make it a 16,000+ crowd.
35 – please tell me how that compares to the last time Huddersfield played at the DW?
Anywho the question still arises which you have failed to answer why is there little appatite for the RLWC in Wiggin town centerSee post 120808.
Why not issue a response to my post Mutty? (The one where I’ve explained why)Err….Because a response wasnt required. You explained why in your view nobody in Wigan was good enough to play top level football, and why no local lad has come through the youth set up for well over a decade.
Personally, I find it shocking that whoever is responsible for scouting and youth development in Wigan has failed to unearth a single gem. What with it being such a footballing hotbed.
Mutty all questions have been answeredNo it wasnt. I gave you the answer. None. Nill. Zero. Zip. F**k all. The best we can come up with is a journeyman lower league plodder from the 1990s and a goalkeeper who warmed the bench for the last 3 years of his career.
Its a pretty poor show that a football-mad town with so many football pitches and leagues, a purpose built soccerdome, and a football club (with an academy) who dined at the top table of English football for 8 years have failed to produce a single player. Whoever runs the football youth development in Wigan has failed more spectacularly than that Shoesmith woman did in Haringay.
Even now, in the CCC, there is not a single Wigan lad in the 18 man squad for tonight’s game.
When is a Wigan lad going to represent his home-town football club?
Like it or not, Wigan is a football town. More people watch & play football than rugby league. That’s a fact – it’s why a certain millionaire can make money out of opening a soccerdome in the town yet no-one thinks there’s money to be made from a rugbyleaguedome.Yet you, Standish, Bicky and 30+ cannot name a single Wigan-born player who has played for Wigan since 2004 – nine years ago. Gary Walsh was born in Wigan, but only played for his home-town club at the very end of his career. Hardly a resounding success story for a football town and their soccerdome to have produced zero players for the club.
The only Wigan-born player I can find that is making a success of playing premiership football is Leon Osman.
