A wigan thug? More likely a 13 year old who tapped him on the head
Shocking behaviour. I think we should be deducted points, relegated to the Beazer Homes Northern Premier Conference Div 3 and West Ham immediately reinstated and placed in a champions league spot. Only then will I be able to rest knowing justice has been done.
A different media, but equally impressive..

1 hour 53 is the winning goal to save anyone the hassle. Great analysis from Jason Roberts too.

From a Jeff Stelling perspective.
… with a horrible thought, if Birmingham get a point today and we lose both us and West Ham are relegated. Gods sake I hate football and what it does to your body.
Not being a know-it-all, but I realised that yesterday (when I read it in the paper).
But here’s the dilemma – do the TV cameras show crying Latics fans or crying West Ham fans?
If it happens – and I still believe we’ll win – no tears chaps! No tears!![/quote]
They’ll definitely go for the crying fat, balding, tattooed, middle aged bloke (or women) West Ham fans on the basis that they’re far too big a team to get relegated. Too much history, world cup wins, Sir Trevor etc etc.
Man U didn’t sell out in Moscow. Anyone could have at one at the end. But imagine the uproar if because of this they only took half their allocation to Wembley.
But anyhow it’s not going to change anything. As someone else said on here there isn’t anymore coming so I’ll just have to accept it and move on.
Two things spring to mind here.Secondly, those season ticket holders who have moaned that they have been neglected and treated shabbily over the last few seasons have been paid back in spades today.
I feel like I’m on my soapbox here just because I haven’t got one, but only 1,400 have been rewarded (and fair play to them). I suspect our season ticket sales have been fairly constant throughout the Prem years. The other 10,000 or so haven’t been rewarded for their loyalty. Quite the opposite.
Most of them were probably there at the beginning of the Prem, many of us well before and I for one would like to be there at (possibly) the end.
And yes I do feel that as a ST holder I’ve been treated shabbily/neglected at times over the years as the club try to attract more casual support in. Bring a mate for a fiver for example benefits the mate, not me, but this is my club and I would expect that at on one of the most important game for years they would have used their nouse.
Had it been at home, there’d have been all sorts of offers on to fill the ground and comments about the importance of getting behind the team. Sadly that doesn’t apply when it’s Stoke who are getting the cash.
only two games left and people from wigan have woke up, shame its taken so long
Those who got Stoke tickets are season ticket holders so are already ‘awake’.
I had no chance of being anywhere near the ticket office/phone/PC today so feel very short changed at the lack of vision/foresight displayed by the club in what could be the biggest game since Sheff Utd.[/quote]
You must be the only person in the world over the age of 6 and under the age of 75, without a mobile phone. :roll: [/quote]
Not able to use it at work today.
Wouldn’t mind if we’d took em all and sold out – that would just be my bad luck, but to short change us at the risk of losing a few thousand pounds if they are unsold really is a very poor decision.

Fair point. Get behind the team for a game that definitely won’t ensure safety, but take half the allocation for potentially the more important game that just might. They’ve messed up on this one.
Make that 20,499 as my nine year old daughter says she isn’t going again as football is boring. Think that may be due to hormones and Justin Beiber rather than Bobby’s tactics but you never know.
As it’s paid for I’ll be stretching out over two seats.
I don’t think there’s any doubt that major decisions go in favour of the big teams, but at home against Birmingham for example, they were denied the clearest penalty you’ll ever see. That could have cost us two points and we’d have been almost down by now. Wolves and Blackpool have also been the victims of poor refereeing so it’s not only us.
If we do go down it’s not down to the refs – it’s because we simply don’t score enough goals and have the inability to defend a lead.
My memory’s hazy, but didn’t he turn us down a few years back? For that reason, he’ll never be forgiven. But what’s worse is the way Hansen constantly bangs on about him on MOTD – “Scotty Parker this, Scotty Parker that, Scotty Parker will keep the cheats up single handed because Lord Brooking has arranged it”. etc etc
Forgot about the Carling Cup ones. 16 is some going for a club like ours. That probably even rivals Man U.
I wouldn’t let my lad get Zaki on the back of his shirt a couple of seasons back. Thought it a rip off for 4 letters. Turned out I was right.
On this issue, I’d be more concerned with clubs changing their kit every season than whose name is on the back. I know of one club where the club charter clearly states once every two years. 6 years in the prem and 13 kits by my reckoning.
Phelan: “We can’t dispute the referee’s decision,” he said. “He’s kept the game flowing and we’re happy with that.”
Big up Utd. Models of fair play for all kids to aspire to.
Rooney staying on affected the game and we lose out. Now the problem with banning him is that he could potentially miss their trip to West Ham so they gain and we could lose out again. Lord Brooking will have it all nicely worked out.
