Soccer !!!!!!!! aint we Americanised enough already? We will be having time outs next turning on the faucetts to have a bath and sending the kids up to the park to play on the teeter totter. We could change our name to WASC stop selling pies and have chilli dogs instead or we could leave well alone and call the game FOOTBALL
Things aint good at the minute and oppinions are varied and emotions are very high but we all still sing from the same hymn sheet. As a Wigan Athletic fan you are unique the rarest of rare breeds because no other football fan has made the same journey as we have.We lie smack bang in the middle of the hottest of footballing hotbeds and thousands of true Wigganers support one of the big four i.e City, Utd Everton or Liverpool yet we have still managed to drag a small club up thru the pyramid system into probably the best league in world football.We will naturally have varied views as many of our younger fans were not around for our non league days and even when it looked like we would fold in the early days of the Nineties. W A F C would need to stay in the prem for over a generation to get itself a proper fanbase and that just aint gonna happen. We suffer constant riddicule from the media coz of our lack of numbers and we have also had quite a few real embarrassing moments lately and yes i truly think we will go down this season. Having said all this i wouldnt mind if we made the journey back down the other way coz its still gonna be part of us part of the Wigan Athletic story which is still being written as we speak. I hate what is happening to my club at the minute coz we all know it really hurts when we fail to win but i will always be proud of what little Wigan Ath has achieved while ive been a fan of over 40 yrs. Latics were my life as a non league club then later coming up the leagues and if we have to go back to where we came from then bring it on.
Time for change eh? yes mate, you can see it I can see it and every other Latics fan can see it but Martinez is picking the team and tactics so thats that idea out the window. Same old same old methinks :(
LMB mate, dont stop believing your oppinion, just because you are not being brainwashed like some on here into thinking that Martinez can manage. No other manager at any club anywhere else in the world would still be in a job after some of the disasters he has steered us through and as for slagging Makin off anybody who says they were not embarrassed by the 9-1 at Spurs or the Notts Co debacle are talking rot.
Thought you would have gone for Jeff Wright griff, like marmite Jeff was, you either loved him or hated him.
Gawd this is difficult so ill go with either Peter Houghton v Villa (league cup) or Henry Camara v Sunderland
Me,being an owd cynic thinks its all a load of crap and ill believe it when he actually goes. Before this Rooney story broke the only topic in all the papers and on tv had been Liverpool for weeks on end. Now we all know Utd believe they are the only club on the planet and it must have been hell to think Liverpool were getting blanket coverage so my theory is this Rooney thing is yet another Man U propaganda ruse. Dont be surprised if Fergy and Shrek kiss and make up and they announce their refound undying love for each other. I may be totally wrong and he may never play for them again but we will see.
You cannot have safe standing at the DW or at most other modern stadiums. The reason being is that when new stadiums were built as all seaters the terracing had to be a lot steeper and higher to take the seats so that your view was not restricted by the person sat in front of you. Anyone who has been to Villa and sat behind the goal will tell you that the view is pathetic as they put seating on the original terracing designed for standing. You would not be able to put adequate crush barriers in and you would never get past the health and safety issue. Whether we could fill the corners in with proper standing terrace is maybe the answer otherwise to have a standing area at the DW will undoubtably take major redesign and building work to one of the existing stands.
Why chill James marrer? he doesnt want to be here. I imagine his agent is totally knackered tonight from trying to get him out of here. I want players to be committed like they showed on Saturday now this joker will continue to pick up his 40k a week till Jan then we will hear his desires to leave again.
Im sorry guys but im pi$$ed off he,s still at the club. Yes I know how good he can be and that he is one of our best players but the contempt he has shown Wigan Athletic is unforgivable. The greedy kermit will be gone in Jan as soon as he can find someone willing to pay him the extortion fee. Im sorry i feel this way but the only reason he is still here is coz Brum saw through his over inflated ego.
