We are in the exact same position with almost identical points and goal difference for the 3rd year running and so I don’t see why some of us are surprised ! I will say it again, this club has gone as far as it can possibly go !

Deja vu yes so what is negative about that?-teams never get relagated in december do they?
Each year the final points tally has been improved upon under Martinez and i have no doubt that this will happen again.He does an incredible job on tight resources which is why other clubs keep hovering about each close season.
We have seen some fantastic games and some amazing results against the top 4 that we certainly didnt get with Bruce and Jewell.
His teams are inconsistent and drive us all up the wall at times but you cannot argue with his loyalty and comittment to Latics.The improvement will come and we will defy the odds once again.
Easily three worse teams than us this year and i am confident we will survive this year and improve the points tally as usual.Chill out. Things will be ok, we will still have a club to watch, still have the craic, still have a pint and still be able to put a football coupon on on a Saturday, and hope that our day pans out ok. I return to the uk after living abroad for 6 years next summer. And will get to go and watch my hometown team whatever league they are in. Maybe the prem, maybe the championship. Whichever league it is you will still scream ‘get in’ when we score a goal.What will be will be, bob or not bob it doesn’t matter. People are trying, it just isn’t going well. Would you have been happy losing at spurs, and beating Norwich for the same net result? It ain’t over yet by a long way. If you keep telling someone they are Sh1te eventually they start to believe it, performances drop off because they expect to be sh1tr, and motivation spirals downward. Performance = motivation x opportunity x reward. As can be seen by this, it’s not a fantastic opportunity for a player to play for Wigan fighting relegation each year, and the reward we offer is nowhere near what others can offer. So we need to increase motivation to get the performance we want, it’s a straight multiplier, and is the only thing the fans can affect from the above. This works in any walk of life. So lets discuss bob and his time here in the negative sense once he has moved on
be it now, next season, 5 seasons.
My take on all of this is a positive one.
Martinez teams are inconsistent but amazingly he has bettered the previous total points tally in each of his three seasons since he came here.
Why should this season be any different?
By the time we get to january we will have most of the injured players back and maybe one or two new signings and the other clubs like West Brom, Norwich and Swansea will be wallowing in the ‘were safe’mode and start to slip a bit.We will start to get more positive results as we have we have always done under this manager although they wont be where we expect them as always!
Looking forward to the Arsenal game!!!!Unbelievable egg mon that mons from Northampton I presume supports Saints an allegience to Liverpool and is defending MK Dons the mon is dazed and confused :lol:though it w very moving to see all those Wimbledon supporters celebrating the goal with real passion on Sunday.Proves to all these clubs (ours excluded) ripping supporters off that without us there won’t be a game and few overpaid cr@p players need to realise this also.
The joke is every time we have a free kick in a good position, It ends up closer to our goal, :huh:Thougt we played well and they had a very lucky night which we will surely get at some point.Plenty of spirit and effort and but one of the worst decisions this season in my opinion and one that spoiled the game for the supporters who paid at the gate and the tv viewers alike.
.QPR is the big one and I’m sure the Latics players will be well fired up for that one now.Lets keep the momentum going, and heap misery on the chasing pack. It won’t be easy down there, but this team is built for the fight.You Tics.
I see a win for Latics!
Joint EPL top scorer I believe and cost only 2 million!!!!!!
They must have scouted him and kept it quiet which is how to do it and it shows there are some good hungry players to be had in the transfer market.
watch some talentless arrogant manager who couldnt scout a penny under the couch with money somewhere come and poach him off them.I will go for 13 points from that lot.. :S RM manager of the month..Happy Xmas .E2 singing where all going on a European tour..DW telling everyone how good RW is..Full house against Manure..Darksiders extinct.. :woohoo:
given today’s results and recent form (WHU, Swans, Stoke), we’re going to need your 13 points, to get back in touch with the pack (DW aspirations of top 10/12 finish) ! All 3 on a roll, worst luck.
QPR next up (H) – tricky ![/quote]
Newcastle win
QPR win
Norwich draw
Arsenal draw
Everton defeat
Aston Villa win
To be fair I think we may have our purple patch now akin to the end of last season.This is easily the best Latics team since the 2005-06 season and I feel 14 points so far is a tad disappointing but I think we will have a great month.
Kone with one goal in the last seven games is hardly setting the World alight and so why not give The Argentinian a start. Who knows the two Argentinians may forge a good partnership together ! I think Kone gets the nod because of his strength and ability to hold the ball but for me he is a little capricious and his tracking back has started to wain a little also, perhaps getting a little complacent like others eh !!Would play Kone in his overcoat. His link up play is outstanding and he is lightning quick.A much better player than Moses in my opinion and I am convinced his luck will change and the goals will start to flow. also is unselfish and never gives the ball away something you could never attribute to Moses when he was here.
Hi, I’ve written an article which is a neutral observer’s view of Wigan Athletic. It can be viewed at http://www.mcnamara-sport.tumblr.com Not a shameless plug for my site…just interested in any thoughts.excellent article
QPR are going down regardless
That may be the case…..but I wish he hadn’t gone there BEFORE they play us in December.
I actually think they’ve not got a bad squad. Hughes spent £25 million, but brought in over 15 players. And some are quality players who haven’t gelled get as a team. Cisse? Goals in him. Hoillett? Decent player. Mbia? Decent for Marseille. Had some problems with Zamora and Johnson out injured. Theres a decent squad there for Redknapp to work with. I’m not surprised he fancied the job.
I actually like Redknapp. Guy’s never done anything bad against Wigan Athletic, so why dislike him? I like his wheeler-dealer ways. It’s like me on ‘Football Manager’ games. :lol:[/quote]
He tooknWilson Palaceous from us 4 years ago and annoyed me greatly at the time.They have5 points from 13 games and they need at least 33 points from their remaining 25 games.
I know we did it last season but our position after 14 games wasn’t as bad as theirs is at the moment.I know people shouldn’t boo but the game was petering out towards half time and Reading were on top at that point.
If you pay entry then you are entitled to vent your spleen if you like in my opinion.That said I agree with you the performance didn’t warrant the boos But give me supporters who care any day than some of the miserable g/ts who sit near me who don’t speak or cheer and look disdainfully at people swear or shout during the game.Agree with all of that. As for the last bit, I used to sit in west stand too. ;)[/quote]
Actually the east stand Es3 trio of miseries who sit behind . faces like thunder ,never speak or cheer and look daggers at anyone who swears or shouts.I know people shouldn’t boo but the game was petering out towards half time and Reading were on top at that point.
