Pre-match View From Wigan

[Roygbiv]

I pushed a bin over when they beat us in 2007. That's how mad I was

 

[CarlMcBlade]

That was the day that numpty Jagielka though he was a fucking goalkeeper.

 

[Tezza1889]

Fell asleep before I got to the end of the one on about his weekend in Aberystwyth.

Like a fucking mills n boon, could have told us a bit more about his missus to keep our interest, you know "does she go" you know, is she a goer , know what I mean, eh..

 

[Athens Blade]

They play in blue and white stripes. That's a good enough reason not to like them.

 

[Tyler Durden]

The Tevez affair notwithstanding, I also think Dave Whelans a bell end too.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

The fact Blades fans blame Wigan for sending us down is ridiculous.

We went down over 38 games - any other club would have been thankful of a home match against Wigan requiring a point to stay up - not SUFC the perennial bottlers though.

The fact they went to the PL, stayed their for over a decade, reached 2 cup finals AND fucking won one is something the Mcabe family should hang their heads in shame at.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

They have a better history !?!?

They haven't even got a better pier than us




And The Verve were shit.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

How can you hate a Wigan fan from Wigan?

Must be easy in Wigan to jump on the Man U/C Liverpool/Everton band wagon?

Proper footie fans as are all fans of smaller clubs.

How many Man U/Leeds shirts are there in Dingle land?

Can I just add:

On R5 this morning the interviewer of a Leicester fan was asking him how exciting it was to be top of the Prem?

What's it like to be challenging Man C/U Chelsea etc.- the interviewer sounding like he'd got a hard on thinking about it

Reply:

Its no better than been top of the Championship, when Leicester win it feels great but I don't go to watch Man U, Chelsea, I go to watch Leicester.

The broadcasters really arse lick the top clubs and think all football revolves around Arsenal/Man C-U/ Liverpool and Chelsea.

Well said that Leicester fan.

Their fall from The Big Table has been quite spectacular compared to ours.
A promotion in 2005 to the PL, the FA Cup win against the odds in 2013, an adventure into Europe, then relegation into Div3/L1 in 2015.

I've got a feeling this won't be the last time we play Wigan Athletic this season.

I think Wigan Warriors might be Athletic's biggest rivals.

 

[Santos]

If there's a team beginning with W that we owe for that it wasn't Wigan. They supported us fully in our legal battle and their Chairman acted with great dignity. We bottled it on the day and they beat us fair and square.

I agree but my view all along was that game should have had nothing riding on it, it should have been a battle for 16th and 17th place, effectively a dead rubber.

Tevez
Benitez
Styles
Kozluk Upton Park
Hienze

and relax

 

[Houston_Blade]

They have a better history !?!?

Must be on about rugby

 

[1888to1889]

Well it's a much better recent history ... they've won the FA Cup, didn't they get to the League Cup final as well, more seasons in Prem than us, they've even played in Europe (unlike us). All-in a damning indictment of our piss poor board ... they should be f***ing embarrassed that this Century we're in the shadows of a club such as Wigan. Fair play to them but f***ing awful from the men entrusted in moulding and supposedly driving our club forward.

So when does recently history start tomorrow ffs get a grip pal
