I sometimes wonder if people on here live in an alternate reality as I seem to see things completely different to them…
He also seems to have lost the ability to pick a pass. When he first came thought he may not be as good as Moses but he seemed to have an end product which Vic more often than not didn’t.
Are you serious lad?
He is one of the best short passers of the ball in the team he constantly receives the ball further back and lays off in a good position so he can advance forward its one the things I have been most impressed with in his time here.
Care to point some of these mislaid passes out or are you as I suspect talking tosh?
I like Gomez but that is a man who has mislaid a lot of passes this season.
OR are you saying that he doesn’t play enough through balls ?
What do you want him to do play a through ball to himself run onto it and score?
Maybe he can save a few penalty’s while he is at it too.[/quote]
Agreed, but his decision-making yesterday at one or the other critical moment was not spot-on …costly, in fact (first 15 / R Stam)[/quote]
He should of passed to Stam I cant deny that.
But I would bet my left testicle that if he had passed it to him absolutely nothing would of come of it.
I think this thread is divided between people who have watched it back and people who have not.
Was a top draw tackle no complaints.

Same story again the crossing was terrible from both sides.
If Stam was a horse he would of been shot today.
If we had put half the crosses in the box that Jean and Ronald had the chance to put in we could of won this game by 2 or 3 goals today.
Thought Jones was immense today playing as the “ball mover” in midfield.
A boring job but someone has to do it and he did it really well.
Apart from the miss I thought Kone was good today and I cant exactly blame the lad for forgetting what to do when given a clear cut chance as we dont create many.
Cant wait to have our CB’s fit so Boyce can go back on the right as even getting on with his thirty’s he can at least cross a friggin ball!!
Not sure what is wrong with Jean maybe he caught whatever Stam has but after last season I thought we had got one of the best crosses of the ball at the club since Valencia left….
Hopefully he can snap out of it as I cant see anyone to replace him in that position.
Oops, Arsenal at Bayern it should have read :silly:
If Arsenal don’t play to their best then they will do more than just struggle at Bayern! Will be a good game though and could go either way if Arsenal perform well! B)[/quote]
Arsenal have had an inconsistent season so far but just might have turned a corner?
Not a man u lover by any stretch but that tie does look to be the pick of the lot[/quote]Lets hope not …
Supporters Club (remember one of them?) is friendly and you can actually walk back in it at half time for a quick pint. Decent pint last time I went and think it was a German lager on draft.
Decent matchday experience all round.
Who is that aimed at?
The Wigan Athletic Supporters Club membership is getting stronger ever season.
We (committee) run this in our spare time with no financial gain so that safe away travel at a cheaper than normal rate can be supplied. We put on Events every year (this year being the reunion of the 2002/3 squad) and also give members a break by supplying Free Pie and Peas like we are doing before the Arsenal game this weekend.
No, due to Stadium (police/FA) regulations, we can’t open up at half time, but we are lucky enough to have a concourse that serves alcoholic and soft drinks.
I can bet a pound to a penny that you are not a member and can’t think of a reason why!![/quote]Do you realise you are talking to ‘Dave from Skem’ here.
May I suggest it would be prudent to soften your tone when replying to his posts, he has a history of threatening anyone you disagrees with him ” to sort them, good style, with his trusted baseball bat.”
My only concern is for you, I wouldn’t like to see you having to eat those “free pie and peas” liquidised through a drinking straw.[/quote]
You do bring out the best in people dont you treacle tits
At the end of the day some fans are just happy with their lot even though it aint a lot ie club run on a shoestring but financial stability and others would have liked to have seen Uncle Dave take a gamble to back up his sound bites ! I am in the latter camp and so therefore will forever be disillusioned ! :SWhy doesnt everyone in the latter camp buy 2 or 3 season tickets next year?
Or is it a lot easier to talk about spending someone else’s money?
Big rumour going round the local pub that maynor has agreed a deal with big Sam at west ham, and he’s trying to get a pay off from whelan for loyalty!!!!.. If true I’d make him wait till the summer.Been watching a bit too much hollyoaks you lad.
With the gap getting wider between PL and Championship every year just staying up is massive progress in itself.
More than 15 players for 25 million.The price tags were no great shakes but the 70K per week wages reported to be paid to the likes of Park with no relegation wage drop clause can only be considered insane at best.
The who can we realistically sign debate is what put a taint on Jewell’s time at the club for me.
Constantly bemoaning being unable to bring players into the club yet following his departure Hutchings managed to sign Melchiot (very good player for us especially at the time!) Bruce managed to make a couple of good signings (as much as it pains me to say it) and Roberto has been more than competitive in the transfer market.
Perhaps players just didnt want to sign for him and I cant blame em he hasnt exactly set the footballing world alight since his departure.
Yes, there have been some decent signings, but most of them have been misfits (Melchiot was signed from Rennes after his contract had expired), largely unheard of in the UK, or from the SPL and lower leagues.
As much as people don’t want to hear it, low crowds and the threat of relegation each year have put players off joining us in the past.[/quote]
As sad as it is I dont think the low crowds or threat of relegation has half as much to do with how much £ per week is on offer.
Look at QPR for example lower crowds & odds on for the drop yet they got the pick of players available.
That being said it hasnt done them much good.
So while our inability to buy expensive players might be a problem at this level it has also proved to be our strength on many occasions playing a team full of motivated players wtih the want to better themselves individually and as a team.
I love what we have done as a club and wouldnt swap places with any other team.[/quote]
Obviously I do believe wage is the main factor and crownds, relegation threat etc plays its part too..
I don’t think QPR is the ideal example as their crowds probably aren’t as low as ours, and also when the (Good, high profile) players signed for QPR they probably were’nt favourites for the drop as they were signed pre-season and would have had no idea how woeful they would be, they were probably promised a fantastic season ahead in all fairness which was probably believable given the cash they were spending and the calibre of players they were signing.
All in all I think our business is conducted well, every team is going to sign a flop now and again B)[/quote]
