No

hooray. A thread that contains some common sense. I was at the point of not bothering reading this board ‘cos of the unrealistic idiots who spout their drivel on it.
Well done Scholes. You’ve brought me back from the brink.
last night was a good performance, that was only let down by a freak own goal and an opportunistic strike that 9 times out of 10 would have hit someone’s legs and gone to safety.
We were a threat going forward until we let ourselves down with the final ball, but that is wholly down to confidence and the players not taking the responsibility of being the one to go for goal and miss. If we were sitting pretty in the table we would have made more of these opportunities and won the game. But that is the nature of this “fear football” that the media and the Sky money has created.
Somebody, somewhere has to try and survive in this league by doing something other than “grinding out” the odd 1-0 win and bore draw……and it looks like it’s us; and i’m willing to go with it because if it does work, maybe, just maybe, we can attract better footballers to little old Wigan and not the usual journeymen who ply their trade with any of the next crop of struggling clubs.
If Jose Mourinho was our manager, and Didier Drogba was our striker we would win more games. But they aren’t and never will be, but if we try and alter people’s preconceptions of the club by trying something other than “hoofball” it might just work. It might not – but i don’t give a toss, because at least we tried something different.

There. Got that off mi chest :)

i just can’t believe there is anyone at Wigan Athletic who would vetoe a perfectly good plan at the last minute purely on grounds of cost ;)

a plan B would be great!
N’Zogbia was having no joy on the right as they were ganging up with 3 against him. So move him to the left up against that fat git – would that not have been worth a go?
And everybodys favourite striker, Scotland, has a good 1st half against Stoke and then gets looked over in favour of the super flyweight Sinclair.

Baffled of Swinley

with the names mentioned there, it sounds good to me. I’ll bring my boots for the rest of the season!
Clear the cack and start again

i’m afraid most of our fans are complete planks and unless we are winning every game 5-0 at half time and then signing Messi, Kaka and Nathan Ellington ( :o ) in the interval, they will boo them off!

i can remember that bloke against Walsall vividly. I’ve never seen owt like it – imagine the papers if he did that now!! It was a mental day and i spent most of it wondering if my black eye would die down before i got home and my mum gave me one to match! They were bleedin nutters!

I always chuckle to myself when i think of THAT game against Reading and one well known wit sat down after having a crafty cig and missing 2 goals, casually asking “have i missed owt?” Comedy timing at it’s finest
