I prefer to think that Whelan actually has a “moral compass”.
Just got back from Portsouth and can honestly say it was one of the worst performances I’ve seen for many years. I remember now why I don’t go to many away matches – if the players can’t be bothered turning up then neither will I.
The only game I can remember when on the coach back the voting for “Man of the Match” resulted in most saying “none of them”.
I am however holding on to my ticket absolutely confident that Mr Whelan will give us a refund.
I also believe in the tooth-fairy.
Only thing that bothers me is if our remaining strikers get injured… and what do you think we should do? That’s a completely separate issue to the ordure that is Marlon King.
Good riddance.
A match is ninety minutes not three minutesI think that may be one of the big plusses this season. If we go behind we seem to keep fighting. Not something we’ve done in the past few years.
Better than this though.
The tale is that one side were 2-0 up with 9 minutes to go, but needed another 9 goals for promotion.
Fix anyone?
A Wiganer is on a business trip to the States and while he’s there is taken to see the “Famous Red Indian Memory Man.”
His hosts tell him that the aforementioned knows every fact in the world and challenges the Wiganer to ask a question.
“OK then. What game saw Latics promoted to the Premier League, what was the score, and who scored the final goal?”
The Indian replied “8th May 2005, beat Reading 3-1 at the JJB Stadium, Nathan Ellington scored the final goal”. Wiganer exits very impressed.
Fifteen years later he’s back in the town and wonders whether the Indian is still around. To his surprise he finds he is.
He walks up to him and, trying to be friendly, says “How!”
“Cross from Jason Jarrett, nodded down into bottom corner”.
I’ll get me coat.
