My first ever game watching football was Liverpool v Man City when players like Tommy Lawrence, Roger Hunt played this was due to the fact that my dad was an egg chasing gob shoite who never went to a footy match so someone took me instead. A few years later when i was old enough to go on my own i went to watch my local club one evening after school. I became hooked immediately and had no choice in who was my team, Liverpool and City didnt stir me whatsoever but Wigan Athletic grabbed me by the heart the throat and the bo..ox and have had hold of me ever since. As for the glory hunters well my club has given me more glory than most fans will ever experience so i dont give a toss.
it was a record score for a non-league team to win away at a league club not sure if it still stands.
Why not Russia they have never had it we have? All this dont qualify on purpose rubbish, have you watched England lately? We might not get ther cause were kack. Also all this fifa will be desperate for us to be there, i dont think so, one of the most succesful competitions financally was USA 94 we didnt get there. The rest of the world think were s hite, they couldnt give toss if were there or not.For your information until a few fears ago i was an England member and went to as many games as possible and to compare USA 94 with Russia is bloody laughable. If they had won the vote fairly nobody would have minded but the result was known before the envelope was opened. If your quite happy with the outcome then your entitled to your opinion but so am I and I cant stand the thought that Blatter has got one over on us albeit crookedly. As for them not giving a toss if were there in 2018 “are you sure”? Who takes the numbers England do no matter where they play? Im sure the South Africans were quite pleased we spent a few quid during the World Cup. We spent over 300 million trying to win the right to stage the tournament and put on the best bid but we were never gonna win it coz we didnt hand any brown envelopes out under the table. You may be happy with that mate but i certainly aint.
Wrexham F A cup away seventies, it s all kicking off bigtime and im only a kid then a bloody massive Welshman picks me up and throws me onto the pitch and tells me to run to other side of ground to get away from the scrapping.
I think you will find the Police have the games called off on an health and safety issue if the streets around the stadium are bad. Of course we could ask the players to get the shovels out.
You only have to listen to the reports on our games to prove your bang on Lmb mate, “toothless Wigan”, “Wigan have offered very little” etc after every game. They cant all be wrong but I still think we have just too many foreigners in the squad as well as the gaffers failings. Look at Blackpool no superstars but they have fight and spirit something a lot of overseas players dont afford you and thats a question i would want answering “why do we capitulate so easy”?
We,ll probably get F C United who beat Brighton in the replay we will be in the game for the first half then end up losing 4 or 5 nil
Couldnt agree more matey, I have watched this club since 1969-70 season and was at every home game in the dark days even tho it was a 200 mile round trip from Nuneaton. For me its not us being in the Prem and struggling its the fact that at the highest level of the game there seems to be so much corruption. Look whats going on with the world cup bid. There is no fairness in the game anymore and the smaller clubs dont have an earthly of making up the ground when the media bankroll Utd, Chelsea etc. Can any of you tell me the last game Utd played in the F A cup which wasnt televised? I love football and Wigan Athletic has been my whole life and its killing me to see us fail to win week in week out. The cost of following your club especially away has become too expensive for most people. My last trip to the Emirates with coach fare, ticket price, overnight stay and beer money cost in access of 400 quid ok we went a bit mad on the ale but still its a lot to spend on one away game. I was an England member until they dis-banded the old England members club and came up with “Team England” and now I wont even watch the national side on tele. Its always been fun watching the Latics home and away but now that fun has gone somehow and its as tho its become a chore. Ive not lost my passion for the game yesterday i went to watch Shevvy v Winstanley and it is great to see honest lads playing their hearts out giving everything. I know ill get slated on here for this but i doubt my passion for going to watch the Latics home and away will return until we have been relegated and left the circus thats the Premier League behind.
It may look like Springy but nowhere else on the planet had the magic of dear old Springfield Park. So many memories, triumphs even heartaches yet it had everything and the best supporters club ever. It could be minus 20 or pi$$ing down and it was still the only place to be on matchdays. God i miss the place so much.
My worry is that with Chelsea faltering Utd will have the smell of blood in their nostrils and we could be in for a tough afternoon.
its one of fifa.s free windows, and there are friendlies all around the globe totally agree its pointless but as much as i dislike the fa this aint their doing. tho why we should risk injuries to players for nothing games is lunacy.
A steward at Brentford once put himself out for me and unlocked a gate so I could get myself a Brentford enamel badge. He walked me to the club shop waited outside while I bought my memento then kindly escorted me back through the home crowd and back into the away end again. True gent
