      I still can’t stop thinking about that late daft Charlton goal, how different things would be[/quote]

      I felt when that goal went in it was a significant moment , like a dagger in the ribs event.
      The following day those undeserving underachieving bastards from Yorkshire grabbed a late victory at forest and an unlikely
      lifeline.
      I doubt they would have had any belief The following day we would have been sorted by the Sunday night.
      As you can see I cannot even mention their name and I tell you now 100% if the same happens to them in the future I will have zero sympathy no danger!
      A huge mess and never ending saga that is looking grimmer by the day.

        Wouldn’t wish our last 6 months on anyone. I never wanted Bolton to go bust, they’re our main rivals and we need them.

        Barnsley on the other hand….

        Their whole antics through this have been appalling and I don’t just mean the fans.

        Agree 100% , if ever those pit village fecks ever face the same as we have done I will have no sympathy with them that’s for sure!
        Our day will come of that there is now doubt !
        Be nice on the way up and all that
        Up the Tics , onwards and upwards for 2021 !

          Was looking at the championship table yesterday and saw that Barsteadley Fc were sitting pretty near the play off places.
          Couldn’t help feeling that is where we would have been and BFC where we are now but for all Of this.
          Hate being bitter but reading some of their comments on social media rankles knowing they do not deserve it.
          Long come the day when we get our revenge on the pitch , karma can take years but it will happen believe me !

            At least we are talking about the football rather than all the financial mess that started last summer.
            True Latics fight and determination That we all know and love.
            Another four goals rattled in and brilliant to see another youth product getting a hat trick which makes him almost a one in two striker according to his stats.
            On a downside the window opens up again this week and given his contract ends this summer I wouldn’t be surprised to see him go unless this takeover is completed to get him a new contract sorted.
            Cannot praise some
            Of these lads enough at the moment showing us all what the club is all about and better times around the corner I am sure of it.
            Happy 2021 everyone , can’t be any worse surely ?

              The good old Football Pink eh ?
              An old favourite on the way home from games in the 70s and 80s mainly but part of football culture now.
              I used to moan to my lad crossing the bridge after games especially on freezing cold rainy days or nights that I was packing it in for the next season especially after another defeat.
              What I wouldn’t now give to be navigating the dodgy bridge with the usual inevitable thick biker mistiming his journey and all the gobby away fans looking for a rumble !
              Or the night we waded through that freezing cold flood water under the railway bridge after Blunderland robbed us in January 2012.
              Have to say I have missed the games but more so the camaraderie you would see at games especially between long standing friends and family.
              The (many) messy boozy nights after big victories live long in the memory now and we just have to tough it out until next September I now think.
              Have to keep the faith and remember why we first started going , for me it was Port Vale at home on good Friday 1979 and the famous 5-3 comeback .
              We will be back and we won’t half appreciate it.

                I don’t think anyone could argue about Blunderland having size and potential even in jest.
                Bad management and karma are all playing a part a I have never forgiven them for that flukey wind and other dubious factors assisted victory at our place all those years ago.
                A great result and a very sweet one by our loyal little squad and dare I say it one of the best for many a year.

                    We have to stay with the Spanish bid and my gut feeling is they seem to have good ethics and have already stumped up the cash already.
                    Pressure needs to be applied to the EFL to get this done especially as we need players in and also could be welcoming crowds back in a matter of weeks.

                      Far too late in the day to be messing about with other bids , they need to get the Spanish deal over the line surely.
                      I am now very very concerned about the future of the club and long since past caring about the dreadful results on the pitch.

                        Absolutely the worst performance by any Wigan athletic team in the last 30 years and that’s saying something during Kenny Swains era !!
                        A lack of interest and total lack of respect for the game , casual fist pumps after our goals , complete arrogance.
                        Chorley had a plumpish bearded guy in their midfield who had the Sunday league look written all over him however he had so much room it made him look like Zidane and that’s says all for me.
                        The sooner the better the Spaniard is in charge and we get some structure the better!
                        Well done to Chorley btw , very well played.

                            I am sorry to say this but I couldn’t care less about it I just want the takeover to complete.
                            At least then we can look forward to a future of sorts but at the moment the whole thing feels like limbo land.
                            The manager in fact the whole set up has an uncertain feel and until
                            The takeover occurs it just feels like one long close season.
                            I always hope we win and fully expect to beat Chorley But it’s very different when as a supporter you play no part.

                              Always interested in arguably the best ever player to don a Latics shirt in our entire history.
                              Don’t care a fig if he was on loan or not he still developed playing for the club and will watch his career like many other supporters.
                              Merge Duncan Edwards , Franz Beckenbaur and Zedane and that’s how good I think he will become.
                              Proud he once donned our great shirt

                                If being a good interviewer is getting your subject to talk honestly and openly then the lad does well in my view.
                                A few high profile TV interviewers could learn a lesson or two from him.

                                  Maybe he has plans to maximise income from the ground once this pandemic is over.
                                  I have always felt it was underused as an entertainment facility bar in the early years when the ground hosted minor international tournaments in both rugby and football.
                                  This sort of thing ,Concerts and maybe an increase in leisure and corporate facilities might allow the ground to bring in much needed additional income.
                                  Given what has taken place recently I do share your trepidation cup winners and really hope this is a good acquisition however changes to the set up and marketing of One of the main assetS I.e the ground are needed to gain the additional revenue that I don’t think has been realised by previous owners.
                                  Can only hope they bring in supporters also because that is most cetainly the most valuable asset of all!
