Egg and I have buried him under the patio so we could fight out control of this site, waiting for a megabucks bid for the rights.
He’s actually away at the mo. Lucky sod.
There’s only one way to pronounce Beauchamp and there ain’t no beach in there.I’ve always pronounced it “Beecham” – but what do I know?
Apparently Debretts has no idea either:)

No, Ricketts retired I believe.
Got done for common assault for punching and headbutting his ex-girlfriend. Probably why you don’t hear much of him these days. ;)
Baines (pen), Rodallega, Sammon and Scharner have all scored against us after leaving, but I’m not sure I’d say they haunted us. I haven’t included Maynard as he was only on loan.
Leighton Baines now in the England team.
Nathan Ellington ended up nearly in tears when substituted v us.
Pascal Chimbonda. ’nuff said.
Just a start.
Let Scott Carson have a crackNo. You need someone who can hit the ball hard, rising, angled towards the sidelines.
Oh. Hang on ……… maybe not such a bit idea :huh:
I think it is possible with a team like Latics, because Liverpool/United/or whoever and Latics were in different Universes. You could quite feasibly support both.
Until we started our rise, and in fact until we (notice I say we for Latics) got in the Premier League I did. I looked out for Liverpool’s results, bought my lad Liverpool kits and annuals, but we went along to watch Latics in the same way I now go and watch Ashton Athletic. At the point we got into the PL I had been actively watching Latics for a large number of years (yes, even back in the days at Springfield Park with 1,800 on), and hadn’t actually watched Liverpool for the same time. It’s at that point you realise where your true allegiance now lies.
It’s a bit different from someone who supports Chelsea this week and United next week, or even Latics this week and Blackpool next week. The Universes were never supposed to collide, but when they did then a decision had to be made.
At that point it would have been ridiculous for me to say “actually I support Liverpool”. It wasn’t a conscious decision to change allegiance – it happened. And I think you’ll find a number of Latics fans that this applies to. I know of at least a couple who have United tattoos, but I would not doubt their Latics supporting credentials now.
I was born in Liverpool (well, Everton to be precise).
Brought up a Red. Had a Kop season ticket. Went to Rome in 1977.
Moved to Garswood. Started to take my lad to watch my local team. Now dislike what Liverpool have become.
Now take 3-year-old grandson along to Latics. If I hadn’t swapped allegiance there would now be 3 more Liverpool supporters, and 3 less Wigan supporters. That’s how it works.
Please don’t define it as numbers that can be counted individually.
When talking about our crowds you’re setting up an open own-goal :lol:
