To all and sundry on here who say they have never boo,ed at the Latics i give you 2 words………….JOHN………DEEHAN. There you go now do you still hold to that?
Football is all about opinions and Loudmouth has his and as much as you may disagree with those opinions at least he has had the same one throughout the season.Many on here have now changed their tune about RM and now realise he aint up to the job. We can all argue for and against him but you cant defend results and performances.
You can tout as many names as you want but Whelan will never sack Bobby and he has already said it. My answer would be to bring in an old manager to work under him and teach him the ropes someone George Graham,esque who can teach him how to start from the back. Lets face it each and every one of us would love to see Bobby get it right so come on Dave get the lad some help.
When he was appointed manager D W said “Roberto will have the job as long as he wants even if we go down” well guess what Dave thats exactly whats gonna happen.
Ticslad, the point i was trying to make is that our young fans who have only seen Championship/Premier league Latics have had to put up with the constant “small club no fans no history” bollox like the rest of us but havent had the enormous pleasure of seeing the club overtake the so called massive clubs on our historic rise thru the divisions pi..ing off all and sundrae. If a glory hunting Man Ure or Liverpool fan asks a young Wigan fan “what success have you seen watching that rubbish?” what does he say? Let him ask me the same question. I think im very lucky to have been a fan of over 40 yrs ive seen it all i dont want us to get relegated of course not but if it happens ill get over it i will be able to answer the innevitable bile from other fans. Will our young supporters?
“wanting to fail” Im not sure if thats the case but understandable to us owd uns who have been fans for donkeys. If we get relegated ill be distraught but ill soon get over it I personally hate the prem and what it stands for but we will still be in the championship and at a really good level. Ive said on here before it will hurt our younger fans more who were not around during our non-league/ lower league days for obvious reasons. We are all fans at the end of the day and we all have different opinions but im sure we all will remain Wigan Athletic fans whatever the outcome. Its what makes us different from anybody else. Stick 2 fingers up to the rest and say “im Wigan and im proud”
you could be right about the league sammy marrer but as we lost the replay narrowly it cant count as a giant killing same with City and Everton
As we lost all these games City included im wondering now our biggest ever scalp. Maybe Chelsea (league Cup 4-2) We often beat lower league clubs i e Mansfield Shrewsbury etc as a non league club but we wasnt that many places below them
Bath mon, Chelsea were top of the old second division when we beat them at the Bridge and had just beat Newcastle 6-0 if my memory serves me right. Newcastle were the top dogs of the day when we went to St James,s in the fifties and we would have been in the Cheshire league
i think you will find that a certain mickey quinn netted in each of his first 5 games for the latics so hes has to be in the running
skriked all,t road home from that game, lasting memory of it was the size of their soddin keeper bloody ell he was enormous (fat as f…)
well guys i reckon quite a few people will agree with him, maybe secretly but i myself admit i aint enjoying it anywhere near i did pre prem. i think its the big four bias that gets my back up most we will never be able to compete at this level and it bloody hurts like hell getting beat week after week
Doubt any of us was at The greatest FA Cup game by the Latics surely it was against Jackie Milburns all conquering Newcastle at St James,s a 3-3 draw against the league champs. 1953 i think
