I managed to bag five tonight in our after work 5-a-side so am eagerly awaiting the call.
I mean, according to Tez goals at any level mean you’re a shoe in in the Championship.
£5000 a week is my minimum request, but I will accept pie vouchers.
Should soon see our Inverness cheetah banging them in the Egg
You’re just narked cos you and your mates are firmly in the give Malky a chance give none of the players a chance just get rid camp

Hopefully we will. If after 11 games though he still looks as though he couldn’t hit a cows arse with a banjo, hasn’t won a header or challenge with a defender then I’ll probably admit he’s shite as opposed to claiming he’s the best thing since sliced bread.
Why? What was on last night an Elton John concert?A Wigan team winning at The DW Stadium. That hasn’t happened since…….the last time Wigan Rugby played at The DW Stadium ;)

Ask any shareholder the ground is not owned by Wigan Athletic Football Club who pay rent along with Wigan WarriersTechnically correct. It is owned by the Holdings Company that also own WAFC.
Here it is again! Read it through properly and then tell me that 3.7% means we shouldn’t be surprised at our current plight! 28 seasons of info right here! Again, don’t forget that we don’t have any money problems!Just to go through this then:
76.5% not promoted straight back
65.9% not promoted within two seasons
3.7% in league one
67.1% in championship
So statistically we are exactly where most teams are after two seasons in that we won’t go back up and we will either be one of the few who drop again or will be exactly where most clubs are in the Championship? Hardly breaking the mould there when you consider that the 3.7% are probably bigger clubs than ourselves.
Let’s put these stats next to harsh realities. We are Wigan Athletic. We don’t have an endless pit of money we can throw at players and we aren’t exactly a big pull for players either. We struggle to fill half our stadium with home fans and are as the saying goes ‘punching above our weight’.
Just because I can look at our situation logically and long term doesn’t mean I’m happy that we’re 23rd and could go down. I’d much rather we were in Chelsea’s position but real life means we never will be no matter how many times I achieve it on Football Manager.
Ok. On paper we should probably not be where we are. Games aren’t played on paper though and we are where we are because we deserve to be.
We could probably get promoted back to the PL and stay there if we splashed the cash on big wages and transfer fees.
Then when the bottom falls out because we can only spend so much and have re-couped none of the fees then we won’t have a club but at least we can say we tried and DW didn’t steal any of our money.
“Games aren’t played on paper though” Stats may be written on paper but they come from real life events! I reckon you are so acceptable of this debacle because you know deep down that the rugger will benefit from the football’s downfall! :unsure:[/quote]
Spot on yep. I can’t wait until the rugby get to kick the football out and are back to being the number 1 club in the town. *evil laugh*
