Lets not forget too that Brentford sent him out on loan to 3rd division MK Dons, and that MK Dons didn’t sign him once they got promoted at the end of that season. Despite scoring goals for fun, Brentford were still happy to offload him to us.
Despite having a cracking season for us, he was still 3rd choice striker for NI, behind a Norwich reserve player and a kid who played about 5 games for QPR.
Perhaps Grigg is just one of those players who cannot step up to the next level. There’s plenty of them around (Dwight Gayle, Jordan Rhodes & Patrick Bamford being prime examples).
I sense some real anger here. As its a completely different sport, mainly followed by people who do not like football, I don’t understand why you’d hate it as much as, say football fans born and bred in Wigan who support other clubs, or football fans born and bred in Wigan who play in local leagues on a Saturday afternoon.
Do you hate followers of any other sport, or is it just rugby?
Personally, I cant stand Formula 1, and tennis but I don’t hate it so much as to wish ill on those who do like those sports. In fact, I voted for Andy Murray for Sports Personality of the Year, as he’s bloody good at what he does. But I wouldn’t watch him play.
Whats even more pathetic is you coming on to this board and chastising the Latics fans who hate the rugby. Don’t like it keep off this board, its a Wigan Athletic Fans Message board you will not hear any derogatory things about the Chubsters if you stop logging in.
I hope the Aussies fuckin hommer the cherry and shyte tomorrow so we can all celebrate a great win for the true champions the mighty Wires.
I’m not going to go into the reasons why I hate the rugby with a passion its all been said before, but my grand kids are only supporting one team in this town and its the one that has had the bragging rights since 2005. Jealous? your’e having a laugh, its people like you who are the jealous, coming onto this board and having a pop at our fans.
Now run along little boy and get ready for the big game tomorrow, Highfield over 65’s crown bowling team against Poolstock vets, should be a decent crowd. :lol:Wow!
Can somebody ask him how many points he believes will be enough to stay up, and see if they can get a straight answer.
Since when. What’s changed?Nothing, apart from they won the last game of the season to become champions. Since then, we’ve managed one home league win and are at the wrong end of the table.
Its easy to slag others off from a position of strength – not so much when you’re not.
Last season Will Grigg was on fire, Wildschutt had an internet video song going viral and we were running away with the title. This season, Will Grigg’s a damp squib, Wildschutt has pissed off and we are in the bottom 3.
£27 a ticket guarantees they won’t be. 9500-10,000 home fans as usual. Casual fans seem to be a thing of the past nowadays.As much as it hurts, most Wiganers with a spare £27 this weekend are more likely to spend it watching the best Rugby Club in the world stick 40+ points on Wigan Warriors this Sunday.
The £7m we received for Wildschutt means the lack of parachute payments next year wont hit us as hard.
Looking at the fixtures, our 8 remaining fixtures do not look the most difficult – Preston, Forest, Bristol, Villa, Rotherham, Barnsley, Cardiff & Leeds, and I’d like to think that we could amass at least 16 points from those games.
Then I remember that we’ve won 1 home game in the league since September, and 3 all season.
Taking my younger brother to see Latics v Rochdale one cold December. He spent the entire game on the Shevvy End grass digging himself a hole to sit in and was so upset when he had to leave it behind at the final whistle.
Didn’t take him again.
WJ has already told us that Obertan has not touched a ball for over 3 weeksI’ve not ridden a pushbike since last summer. I reckon I could still manage to get from A to B without crashing or falling off.
Sheff Wed one shot on target one goal.With a conversion rate of 100%, thank fuck they didn’t come to attack!
The transfer window isn’t that important for us, seeing as we can get players on short-term loans whenever we want.
Surely whoever agreed to that ridiculous contract had a good reason.
Should only apply if they took it up whilst he was playing for them and should have been written in that if the offer wasn’t taken up then, then it wouldn’t apply.
A totally ridiculous contract but there was a hell of a lot went on last summer that we don’t know about at all.The clause could only be activated at the expiry of the loan period, which was supposed to be the end of the season. We recalled him, and probably put Barnsley on the back foot, as they expected to only have to make the “to buy or not” call in May.
I would imagine Barnsley are looking at their own squad to see if they have a ready made replacement, and also casting their net further afield to see if there’s a better option available before finalising terms with Morsy. So far, they’ve won one drew one (cup) and lost one without him.
Well spotted that man!
This sort of news should be pushed to the nationals – small club subsidises their tickets by almost 50% because premier league giants are so fucking greedy.
