a question to the people who boo
if i came to your house while you were trying to perform,
and started booing or generally slagging you off,
would it help or hinder your performance?just a thought.
In the first instance, I would report them to the police, as at least one of the parties would be underage, if not both.
Here’s a simple solution: if you find the football on display not to your taste, or if the players are not trying hard enough, don’t go to games, and go back to supporting Wigan RL, Liverpool, Man U, Brazil or whoever it was prior to 2004.
Or, we can carry on in the same moronic way, and end up like Newcastle with the better players wanting to leave en mass and nobody of any quality wanting to sign.
We can only muster up an average gate of under twenty thousand, and those we do get through the gates boo their own team. I can see the stars of world football queuing to sign for Wigan.
so is the football on display up to “your taste” ?[/quote]
At present, no it isn’t. I can see what Martinez is trying to do, but it isn’t fully working.
Maybe I’m just a simple soul, and that’s why my range of emotions doesn’t include singing ‘You’re just a town full of p@kis’ or booing my team.
Should have gone to Specsavers mate :oops:Nope, I think that’s you. Lay of the mucky websites for a bit, and it might improve by itself.
fact is we are just a selling club and will be with that t i t as chairman sunning it up in barbados, thinking who shall i sell next to boost up my bank account ,the old t i t would sell his wife if he could ,thats why we lost steve bruce ,he couldnt keep hold of the good players and rilled him up .And who do we get in as a replacement? Richard Branson, that well known lad from Scholes, or Tim Waterstone, the Ince boy done good?
Perhaps we can attract an Arab investor to the Wigan Atheltic global brand.
If not, looks like we’ll have to continue with our selling ways, and shelve our Champions League plans for now.

Hope you’re right Sammy, and there is a big thaw.
Just been at the stadium and there’s a single JCB clearing snow from around the back of the East Stand. It’s still very slushy though.
The main car park has been cleared of loose snow, but it looks like the Cresta Run, and I wouldn’t risk putting my car on there.
The visitors’ car park hasn’t been touched.
”It may be hot air, and it may be my opinion, but it’s all 100% factually accurate.”I think there is contradition in that statement.
Fair point. Should have said ‘….but the information contained within is all 100% accurate.’
Decent band from what I’ve heard. Don’t hear the Kings of Leon bit myself, because the sound is too English – which is a great thing in my opinion.
i,m thinking jason scotlands turn,t muslim? since he left swansea :lol: :lol: :lol:I think a month of fasting might not be a bad thing for him. Shedding a bit of timber wouldn’t do him any harm.
Ellington’s future was doomed when he got married and converted to Islam during the 2004 – 2005 season. I will state here that that isn’t intended as a racist comment, far from it in fact, as I am respectful towards anyone who has that much faith in a belief or cause (cue comments regarding Martinez and 4-5-1…).
For the past four years since 2005, Ramadan has fallen towards the latter part of the year, or more specifically, the start of the football season and during Ramadan, Muslims are not permitted to eat during daylight hours. In Islam, exceptions can be made for professional sportsmen (it is a religion that has lots of ‘No, no, never, oh, go on then’), but with Ellington as a new convert, he, without a shadow of doubt, would have observed Ramadan.
With that in mind, is it any wonder that on moving to each new club he has played for since leaving Wigan, it has been commented on that he seemed lazy and lacking in any energy or determination? The lad has started every season running on empty. There are Muslim footballers who can perform well during Ramadan, but Ellington had not grown up with a yearly Ramadan, and his body is not as acclimatised to it. Saying that, I used to work with a Muslim lad who fasted every year, and who played a good standard of Hockey. His team got battered during Ramadan every year because three quarters of them hadn’t eaten during the day, and he freely admitted that it was a practice that was definitely not suited to professional sport.
So, that’s my take on what happened to Ellington, and although the breakup of the partnership with Roberts was part of it, I’m sure the timing of his new found faith and dip in form wasn’t mere coincidence.
did,nt effect ZAKI much[/quote]
As I said, it doesn’t affect every Muslim player, and a lot of them do not observe it. Mido didn’t observe it, but I don’t know if Zaki did or not.
They are allowed to ‘opt out’ if they are working in a foreign country, so even though Zaki is a more strict observer of Islam than Mido, that might have been his get-out clause.
Mourinho got himself into trouble not so long ago by saying something similar.

i may expell the odd breath of hot air as you accussed me of in another post on here,but standish you could run a 50 megawatt power station on the methane coming from the s h i t e you talk.[/quote]
You ‘expell the odd beath of hot air’? I’d say that was an understatment of gigantic proportions.
I presume if you refer to my post as sh1te, then that means it is untruthful? If so, please point out where that untruth is Bamber.
