      otherwise there is a long waiting list for anything that is remotely routine ( I speak from recent experience and don’t wish to offend anyone or wish anything unpleasant to happen to Mr Joyce ).

      Do you seriously think he uses the NHS?

      Whilst obviously wishing him well, health-wise, I would be amazed if this forum takes place later this month unless there is an massive upturn in form. There is no way DS and WJ would want to be in a room full of angry supporters!

        Already relegated to bench warmer.

        He wont care.

        He’s gone from being a bench warmer at a bottom 3 side to a bench warmer at a top 6 side. He can also spend his time on the bench at Norwich thinking about what to do with the big signing-on fee and pay rise he received.

          Yet more proof Yootha is more interested in not losing than in winning.

          Some very contradictory quotes in that WEP article:

          “But because Buxton has played with an injury, you’re loathe to open it up with 25 minutes to go”

          “But if you’d watched him in training on Friday, or even in the warm-up before the game, I didn’t think there was any way he could complete 90 minutes – not a chance”

          So why select him in the first place, or more importantly, why make two unenforced substitutions when you knew your vice-captain was crocked before kick-off

          So Buxton is crocked, but forced to complete 90 minutes, potentially putting out of action for weeks, yet Bogle is a bit tired, but is replaced with 6 minutes to go in case he got crocked in those final 6 minutes.

          “I’m doing it to try and win a game”

          Utter Bollocks. He did it to hang onto a point at home to a bottom 6 side who maintain their slight lead above us.

            would not be surprised to see it cancelled on last min due to some unexpected buisness…

            …and then put back on at 7 hours notice at a completely different venue!

              I’m expecting a very direct approach today from Wigan – until Thursday Lunchtime, they were approaching the game thinking that it would take place in a mudbath.

              That said, If we don’t win, prepare yourself for the excuse that “we based our tactics all week to play on a quagmire, and it wasn’t, which hindered our style”

                Gentlemen the damage is done over the summer months. With rest and maintenance in the summer the surface would be superb throughout the winter and even less pitch renovation work would be needed in the spring.

                Playing two friendlies in two days against Man Utd & Liverpool wouldn’t have helped then.

                  You’re right I guess. Tory Dave will have no doubt cut a deal with the chancellor not to have 40% Inheritance Tax levied on his reputed £190 million worth. My initial statement was based on young Sharpy being left with a percentage of what was left after tax and being split with DW’s children and grandchildren.

                    When big Dave goes to that Wembley in the sky, Sharpie will have them fat chubby egg chasing cuckoos out !
                    He t’owd me so in’t Rigbye Arms, after several pints of specky hen.

                    I reckon he’ll sell up or even give the club away. He’s a young lad and wont want to see his inheritance being spent on subsidising the Latics to the tune of £5 million+ a year. Grandad’s money wont last long if he did.

                      Seeing as our “talisman goal machine” thinks we play hoof-ball, then not playing on a ploughed field may not be much of an advantage.

                        If that’s the case, why were two friendlies against Man Utd and Liverpool played on it in two days?

                          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.
