“Now preparing for an eighth successive year in the Premier League, Whelan, who has ploughed £100million of his own cash into the club….”
His own money? Ploughed into the club? I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that he is a grasping miser who has been soaking the club for years?
I must be mistaken ;)
Why do we need a goal celebration tune?
The “old” celebration was that everyone jumped up and down cheering for a bit, and then started a song of the name of whichever player scored.
The Tom Hark rubbish means that the player often doesn’t get to hear his name sung, which is I think a shame.
You may have to wait a week or so. I think I’ve got them on season’s video – but I’ll need to copy to DVD, and then rip onto PC. And I’m off on holiday tomorrow.
Only one explanation. We are Wigan Athletic and that is it. We have had to put up with unexplainable rubbish like this throughout our history.It is plainly and simply a disgrace.
I remember the Pop side at Springy being limited to something like a thousand. Are Claude and I worked it out that a thousand fans could stand with their arms outstretched and not touch another fan.The Pop side limitation was due to barriers not being safe I think. It wasn’t that was all the fans could fit in, the stand didn’t pass safety checks, and the club wouldn’t fix it.
How is it that every season, Arsenal sell tickets in the Wigan area, to their own fans????They deny they do, and I think that most of the Arsenal fans there get their tickets from “agencies”.
When I was there a couple of years ago I asked a steward if there was no segregation at the Emirates. I pointed out that many of the fans there were not Wigan. “How do you know?” he said.
Simple – firstly I have seen Dads in the toilets getting their little sons to hide their Arsenal shirts under their jackets, and secondly do you know the ethnic mix of Wigan?
“Barman, a Storm please.”
“I’m not familiar with that drink, sir.”
“Diet coke and port.”
“What kind of port, sir?”
“Any port.”
Heard if he plays a certain number of games we have to pay more money to his former club,may explain why he not getting picked,or is he just crapI heard that myself. Two more games is the magic number, I believe.
Edit: Here you go – it’s a contracted pay increase apparently:
Last three lines
Fernhurst is no longer an away pub – home only.
I’ve not read the quotes you’re referring to, but if he’s saying that Roberto leaving us is inevitable, then he’s right, isn’t he?
It’s inevitable I will get older, it’s inevitable Coronation Street will have a last episode, it’s inevitable whatever whatever. Unless he’s put a timescale on it he’s just saying that at some stage he will leave, and presumably he is saying he will move on to a “bigger club”.
Hopefully not just yet. The word I hear is that he doesn’t consider his job is done yet. Not just to develop the team, but also the whole infrastructure of development teams through the age groups and in building the training facilities.
These are not the droids you are looking for…
Oh sorry – I appear to have posted in the wrong forum :blush:
Click on the little footballer figure below “Upcoming broadcasts” and you’ll find links to streams that don’t need any registration.
The problem, as with all streams, is that teh Premier League pounce often through the match taking the stream down, so you have to go back a few teams to find a different stream
A few things I like about that thread.
The complaints about the referee – it’s funny how blinkered supporters can be (and I include us in that)
The dawning realisation that we were battering them
“Has Fat Ash done a deal with his old pal”?… I thought Whelan hated him
Complaints that NUFC hadn’t set up to counter our style of play – how far have we come (copyrighted phrase) from when we were lining up to counter our opponents (Paul Jewell, Steve Bruce..)
The second half we did exactly what we needed to. We didn’t need more goals (they would have been nice, but we are in a fight), but what we needed to do was not concede early on. We held them and frustrated them, which let us then play more passing football complete with the “Oles” (which personally I am not fond of – usually).
A job very well done in the second half, for which credit isn’t being given when compared to the first half.
