Wigan Athletic Match Thread

[Bladesman]

Nothing easy here, Wigan will come at us real hard, you can start counting bruises from the first whistle.

I agree there its gonna be a watford style match again.

If we go a goal up expect them to start taking out a few players.

 

[Keith Curle's tenant]

Vijays Curry house has 2-4-1 on starters and main meals sundays. After the game (regardless of the outcome) i'll be going, we should all pile in there, Las Iguanas has 2-4-1 cocktails too on a sunday. booze ahoy!!!!

Oh and yes, 1-0 blades!!

Good try but though Jags may play right back for England, I doubt NW would waste him there for us. Monty would be too much of a risk, one hard tackle and you'd need a sub. Not worth it in a hard game.

 

[mrteabag]

Our last match of the season. Will we stay up or not?

of cause we are the blades yes is the answer to your question we will stay up

 

[Sharpy]

No, that IS the side for tommorow.

100%

Like I said earlier in the week, if my inside info is correct, Monty has been cleared fine to play for a few days now. Sore shoulder but no real damage and a bit of a niggle with the hip.

Hope all you guys are right. It's a solid team either way.

 

[SUFC93]

Thats the spirit mrteabag hopefully we WILL stay up come on you blades

You know summit we dont ?

Although that starting 11 should do the business.

Well the nerves kicked in well and truly around 10.00pm last night, got the sinking feeling in my guts (and it was'nt our lasses cooking). I started thinking about the last three semi finals and the Millenium stadium, the despair of failure knowing todays game is more important than all of them. By midnight i was tired but in no mood to sleep so trolled through todays sports pages on the net till i fell into a semi sleep infront of the pc.
3.00am forced myself awake made a drink and took it to bed.
5.00am awake again went for a fag.
6.00am awake again went and made drinks for me and our lass, she told me her lad is bricking it, i told her to keep the cat out off sight just in case. She said i,ll keep out of your way too if they lose, i said make it for at least three weeks.
8.00am awake again the cat walking all over me (clever tw@t knows how to open doors by hanging on the handle)
9.00am had to get out and give the cat her brekkie feel like sh*t, next for me haircut, shave the usual rituals for important games, will be at the lane for 12.00pm

COME ON YOU BLADES

 

[Linz]

Slept alright last night... woke up at half eight and remembered what day it was.

Caught Foxy picking his nose in bed next to me when he thought I didn't.

Put SSN on... presenters doing their best to make me tense.

Brushed off new shirt (woo... kids size) and made my way home to have a coffee and get ready. Mum is doing her best to take my mind off it by talking her usual inane mum rubbish and watching Rick Stein cooking

Walking down to the Lane, setting off at 11 hopefully.

COYRAWW

 

[Bladesman]

Ive got past the nerves im thinking more positive and thinking about overtaking Fulham and finishing 15th. Which is where i predicted we would finish at the start of the season. Actually wish i had put money on it could possibly make my myself a few quid.

 

[LeeSUFC]

Not felt nervous up until now
Think we can do it though!
Come on Blades!!

 

[Come from away]

I'm too far away to make much noise, but I'm ith you in spirit so give em hell for all us wanna bees!!!

 

[Come from away]

Forgot to say - Hat's off to Sharpy. He may take shots at NW but he was first with the inside info on who's playing; somebody must love him. Ta mate!

 

[Come from away]

Bloody mess, but I still plan to come over at Christmas to watch them play. Great fun watching and listening this year.

 

[keenzy]

i can sit here and moan about that penalty against liverpool first game of season... about tevez etc but at the end of the day we were 10 points clear and we fucked up and now we are down on GD. warnock and his shitty tactis away from home has cost us.

if warnock doest get sack he wants to resign. hes not good enough. he has to go. end of.

i dont know how webber missed that and why jagz jumped up with both hands in the air.

WARNOCK OUT

 

[RIP Niftos]

i dont know how webber missed that

was absolutely terrible, harder to miss than score surely?

 

[keenzy]

saw morgan at full time. was crying. feel sorry for the bloke. really put his balls into it this season.

 

[lawlessdan]

i wasn't happy with the fact that neil didn't hang around for long after full time and also made me mad that CKR was smiling at the end not what you want to see when the tears are ********* down your face

 

[LeeSUFC]

Gutted!
Warnock has to go i think!
Like people have said the tactics away from home and also team selectionss away from home have been crazy! and its cost us by goin down by 1 single goal!
Today was guttin aswell didnt really get goin until the 2nd half! and then we still didnt look like we were gonna score!

 

[Sharpy]

Why is it always sheffield united?

What a horrible feeling.

 

[Greasy Chip Butty]

Like i said in the shoutbox, we needed those extra points to keep us with a chance after the run in we had.

we should have had two penalties today(fouls on steal and morgan), maybe three, refs seem reluctant to give penalties for shirt tuggin in the area, and thats not just us. I thought the team thought they could gplay for a draw today and thefirst half was shocking.

BUT i think we have a team that can go straight back up, there are very few teams that i think have a chance of beating us and like was said last year we NEED a creative midfielder...still

Up The Blades!!!

 

[Come from away]

Surely we've got the money now to buy one - no excuses this time.

 

[Greasy Chip Butty]

a bit away from the subject, the wigan fans were great after the game. i was on BLUT so had to walk through their fans after the game and expected em singin and rubbing us in it.

But they we're very sympathetic and came up to us and wished us all the best and that we didnt deserve to go down. and that west ham are cheats(in maybe harsher words).

 

[Bladesman]

The Wigan fans have probably made more noise at the Lane than they have done at home this season.

Today we were poor 1st half and were lucky not be behind by more. 2nd half was much better but the finishing wasnt there and if you cant take your chances against a 10 man wigan. Then maybe we shouldnt be in the prem at all when you think about it.

 

[Jack & Helga]

Some strange team choices yesterday and I thought we went out like a team who didn't know whether to go for it or sit back.
I thought Davis should have started, and Killa would've been better at left-back. Not a big fan of Jags in midfield but Tonge was too lightweight for the battle. He'd have been better on the left.
Keef's been poor lately and he continued that form yesterday, and where did Squinny come from?! He looked like a player that hadn't played for weeks.

Having said all that we did enough to get at least a point. Webber missed that sitter and also should've had the sense to move forward and tap in Stead's cross right at the end. Instead he stood there and watched it.

thats because he hasnt

for the 1st team anyhow.
