OK – I’ll rise to this one. I enjoy F1 and have been to GPs at Silverstone, Magny Cours and Spa.
I wouldn’t describe myself as a “petrol head” and don’t really care what car you drive, or in fact would’nt know what it was even if you told me. I just enjoy being at GPs though (although I haven’t been for many years).
Please though don’t confuse F1 on TV, where you just boringly follow the lead car round the track for mile after mile, with actually being there.
Firstly the noise is something you could not believe. And then, being in one place throughout the race, means you see all the cars and drivers competing with each other way down the grid. There are some really good battles that never make the TV, in the same way as Darlington v Carlisle could be a stunning game, but will never take the place of a Man City v Fulham 0-0.
I don’t apologise for liking F1 – but please don’t criticise what you don’t like, and maybe don’t fully understand.
And finally, of course there’s always the chance to laugh at foreigners. One year when Damon Hill and Michael Schumaker were fighting for the title we were sat next to a group of Germans all proudly wearing T-shirts which proclaimed “Schumaker is over the Hill”. They obviously took this literally without realising the irony. Oh how we laughed. ;)
At liverpool of course he was “Super-Sub”.
Which tells you all you need to know about his ability – he started most games on the bench.
Easy to come out of the woodwork many years later, isn’t it?
Surely this attendance thing is only relevant if we happen to both be playing at the same time? For the rest of the time people can go to both, either or neither. And there are significant numbers in each of those groups.
There are Latics supporters who support Saints, there are Warriors supporters who support United. And so on. It all proves absolutely nothing.
I’m getting rather bored with this now. As has been said very often – when points are awarded for crowds then I’ll worry. Otherwise, life is too short to get heated about such things. So what if one or other of the town’s teams gets a bigger crowd today, but less tomorrow?
The North Stand holds 5,500 – more than adequate for most away followings. So why give them the bigger East Stand which will look atrocious on TV if we are playing someone who only bring a few hundred.
If you remember we only gave visitors the East Stand in the first place because it was the last stand to be finished.
Come on then make a defence case for the football horror show that has been Robbies tenure apart from the usual we are little poor Wigan .I’m sorry but you’re sidestepping the question. We all (lightside/darkside/energy saving lightbulb) know that this season has been poor.
But the question being posed is should we have signed players who may – MAY I add in capitals – have done slightly better thamn recent signings at wages which would hve given us problems if we were to be relegated.
Ben Haim on over £25K a week (that’s £12.5 million pa!!!) for a club now bankrupt and tied in to that contract.
I know certainly which side of the divide I would rather be on.
“It was definitely not our best game but we got a point from away. Wigan played very well and I wish them all the best for the rest of the season and hope they can stay up! I´m very happy with my comeback and the goal I´ve made.”
Doesn’t seem particularly disrespectful to Wigan.
Giraffe off, you boring old coconut, if I want to say lamppost I will, and you can’t stop me, you netballing trapeze artist!
:P
trust me if there was a thing on the site where I could terminate my account I would have done it before Today.It’s quite simple. Don’t post. There are loads of people who have signed up and have never been heard of again. Pretend it’s never happened. Posting is not a requirement.
I try not to get roped in to some of these arguments but today we could have hit loads. We didn’t. So how is that Martinez’s fault?
He picked a team that could (and did) make the chances. He chose a style of play that created the chances.
The fact that the players didn’t convert them is not his fault. And don’t tell me that X, Y or Z would have scored them. We know, with the current pressures on them, they probably would have done no better. The team he picked was one, before the game, that I heard no-one complaining about.
I’m not happy with the results – and very often I am as critical as the next man about the team selections.
But today was NOT the manager’s fault.
The last two games I saw, United and Liverpool, he played the whole games and (for what it’s worth) wore 7.
Left winger is I think Jesjua Angoy, a very nippy lad.
Don’t get me wrong, I think Chow is OK – but he hasn’t stood out for me. But as he’s homegrown we can have him on the payroll to no detriment.
I’ve seen him a few times for the WADS. Not bad, but I’m not sure he’s Premier League standard. But good luck to him – maybe he’ll turn out to be the new Lionel Messi :)
