Best laugh i have had this month -how desperate are they up at Dull City? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
lets all celebrate a rare victory- our first since November-stop moaning!
January wish list………A THAW!!!!!
It isnt the cost that kept me away and im absolutely sure the club would have dropped the price if it could have done .it is the lack of interest shown in this once great knockout competion by the top clubs in the PL.It has been going on for years especially since the big money came into the game at the top end and im sick and tired of it.
The FA cup has been totally devalued and i noticed an article in the press with a picture of the Latics game highlighting this point so the stayaways obviously touched a nerve.
This was once a great knockout and has been won many times by underdogs (West Ham 1980(div 2) Southampton 1976(div 2) Sunderland 1973(div 2) )but it is now dominated by the big(yawnnnnnnnn) four.
I like many Wiganers thought b@llocks to it and before anyone calls me a JCL my first game was in the 1978-79 season.The FA cup has had its day and TV and money are killing it off -VERY VERY SAD.In my opinion i thought the admission price was too high for a competion that is essentially treated as reserve fixtures by the PL clubs these days.
A more reasonable £10 for adults and a £2 for kids may have bumped up the attendance to 9 or 10,000 as it was the price worked out dearer than my east stand PREM season ticket (£13per match).
I wasnt surprised at the gate.got a good feeling about tomorrow night ;)
Get real, we’ll get stuffed 5 nil. :roll: [/quote]
you should have had a bet!Everton 4th round Goodison park,january 1980 result 0-3.
Latics must have had 25,000 fans in the ground that day and the gates outside were locked.The tie attracted the days biggest gate 51,863 and it captivated the town for weeks.
It also had one of the best player brawls i have ever seen with fists and boots flying everywhere.Kevin Nicholls
although when he did start playing after injury he was awesome and boy could he snap!Had a chat with him in the barbers around that time and he was an all round top bloke.
Is he still at Luton?How the hell can anyone pick scharner in a team of the decade!!!!! The man is cack.Our best player
.Kirkland
Baines Jackson De Zeeuw Chimbonda (sorry)
Palaceous Bullard Scharner Valencia
Roberts Camara
subs Liddell Ellington Unsworth Filan Mcculloch
You optimistic arent you?
if Chelsea had lost the phonelines to Stan “myoldclub” Collymore on Talkspit would have been riddled with “sack im” calls.They have only lost a couple of times at home in the last 5 years so the JCLS that follow this club are not used to losing are they?What would these pr/cks have made of the dreadful Chelsea sides of the 1980s ?
Fulham and their manager are a credit to the game and i remember the start of their rise from the the 4th division started alongside ourselves when we pipped them to the title in 1997.
People dont like them(like us) but they play good attractive football and i have a sneaky feeling they will go a long way in the UEFA cup.Both superb
No boos from me as that was a point gained from what easily could have been a defeat today.
We have gained a point as Blackburn should have won with the chances they missed near the end and what a sh’t hot save from Kirkland absolutely world class.ps how dangerous were those iced up streets walking home?
