in the Pagey after the game last night deep in latics territory and saw the whole pub fall silent when the sky interviews and rerun of goals came on.
Lump in the throat stuff goodpostmy first ever game at Latics and unbelievable but so like Latics.west and Arsenal in the last two seasons came close but last night is the best performance i have ever witnessed from any Latics side in that time.
Lets hope they keep the focus but i now believe we have a superb chance of staying up which is remarkable given after the season we have had.seem to remember a mad day in 2008 when loads of them turned out and caused mayhem all around Wigan taking over pubs and bullying bar staff etc then barged in at the end to see them lift the title.
They acted like playground bullies that day and its typical that a couple of horses had them on their toes( Danny Dyer speak-sorry couldnt resist :)) :lol:
last night.
Vandalism of any sort is unacceptable and it must have been this mob(danny Dyer speak again) who did the damage on Miry (wouldnt park my car there on a lonely day btw)I agree and i dont think they played with their usual quality today and had to rely on a dreadful decision.
Redface and his theme park football brand would a few points worse off if video refs were in operation eh?
Dont see he or his ilk shouting and protesting for them do we ?
I wonder why? :angry:It was very poor reffing without a doubt( not seen that before……….not!) but our defending was rubbish for their second goal and such a shame all the good work was undone in a few mad seconds.At least 3 players could have got tighter especially Diame who let their player dance through the midfield with space galore.
A good performance yes but how many times have we seen similar situations this season?Too many in my view!
Im a great believer in the video refs idea like they have in rugby league because these awful decisions could really cost the club at the season end.The Sunderland game at home sticks in my mind when Sunderland (non )footballer Bendtner fell over like a paper bag in the wind and the stupid ref that night gave them a free kick that the wind blew in on the stroke of half time.It ruined the game because up till then Latics had played well in dreadful conditions.
Video refs are he answer but wont happen-which is a shame!Always makes me laugh when i hear rentapundits on the radio and TV talking about ‘hotbeds of football’ like the north east and the south coast.The two areas put together couldnt muster the half the clubs in the north west.
Great to see old non league names doing well and good for the true hotbed of football the North west.
I see Chorley are also on a bit of a resurgance in the leagues below the Blue square and could make the play offs in the northern premier league.Always worth a visit to Chorley for a retro football experience and the fans are very passionate-went last season against Chester.
Chorley have a lot of links with latics as a fair few of our speccies support both clubs and we have a large following in the Chorley area.Just read in the Mirror today( first positive report i have read this season) that we are 2nd favourites to survive in fron of the others and Villa!The journo predicted we will stay up with 38 points and Bolton in front of us on 44-eh?
Massive game and no surprise it is on Sky.I walked along the canal from Mayalls to the DW today,the rubbish,plastic bottles,dog turds in bags,blankets,carrier bags,you name it littered all along the canal towpath was a fecking disgrace.
What sort of scum lives in Wigan?
All the toe-rags and asbo wearers should be made to spend 10 hours a day cleaning every scrap of shite up!Good post and i agree with it but would you trust the sort of people you mention to carry out a responsible job such as this?
When i was a young unemployed male in my teens i took a temporary job for 12 months cleaning and improving the very stretches of canal you mention.The towpaths,fences,walls,gates and the trees were all tidied up and improved-indeed the path is still in excellent condition around the Appley Bridge to Gathurst stretch and used by many people today.A small wooded area was also planted beyond the Appley Bridge stretch and again is still used today.
They paid us £34 per week unemployment money and i worked four days a week for an extra £26 on top of this.I was out working and i could also attend job interviews and i began my career in financial services from this point and im still in the profession today.
I met some great people on this job and im still friends with some of them today.The value of all this far out weighed the cost of it to the state and i estimate that the entire cost of this project was no more than £150 grand.take away the benefits the lads would have claimed and this cost becomes far less.
There are loads of jobs like this that need doing and its about time this started again.
I look back and im very proud of the work we did to improve the leeds liverpool canal area-it was far better than lazing about all day-great times!Swansea 3
Norwich 0
WBA 1
Liverpool 0
Stoke 1
Chelsea 0
Man utd 0
Arsenal 0
Fulham 1
Newcastle 1
Blackburn 1
Wolves 331 points total-wont be enough and i have been optimistic with the above.
Hope im wrong!on for 34 points!
Great goal yesterday by Alcaraz and Caldwell is shaping up to be one of the contenders for player of the season-incredible!
Heart says 2-0 home win my head says 3-0 home defeat.
negative fact-we have only had one back to back sequence of wins since Roberto Martinez arrived West ham and Stoke 2010-11 – only 1 in 106 PL games so far!!!!
negative fact-our teams worst faults in my opinion is scoring goals and defending set pieces especially corners.Stoke unfortunately for the purists thrive in this area and our jittery back four will struggle again tomorrow if it goes to the form book.They also have probably the best striker outside of the top 5 and hes in form also.negative fact-1 win at home all season-embarrasing!
Negative fact-far far too much backslapping from the manager over the win at Liverpool(probably the worst Liverpool team in 40 odd years!)forget it only 3 points move on!
Positive fact-one defeat in 7-the corner will have be turned big time if we win tomorrow and i think we will stay up if we do win.
bricking it big time
