Wigan

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Born and bred in Wigan but would love to see them relegated (as I can walk to the ground from my house) and it'd really p1ss off all my latics supporting mates who have taken great joy in season long mockery of them being in the prem and us being in the championship, plus as stated before, Dave Whelan is a feckin wanker. That is all!!!!

So born in Wigan but choose to support Bolton. Hmmm... I'm getting the words.... Glory Hunter.

Fanboy

had no choice in the matter as my dad supports us and took me to the match as a 4 yr old and now 33yrs later im inflicting the same punishment on my little lad haha.

Whelan will be crying all over his Margaret Thatcher pillow case.

I guess that makes a nice change to what he normally does over it any how.

Both of these had me in tatters.

[bwfcdan94]

Will be delighted to see them go do down, and do it all again next season as well.

what's the odds on dave whelan breaking his leg again on the wembley turf while introducing prince charles (or whoever) along the line of wigan players ?

unbelievably betfair or whoever dont have a book on it and so i carnt place any bet.

:/

it can be his third most told story , next to "i broke my leg at wembley (original mix)" and his "i nearly bought united for £12million" story bullshit that convienently ignores that micheal knighton were buying it for less money.

Martinez has a reputation amongst some journalists of being the "biggest fraud in the game".

Whilst that may be somewhat harsh, he's not exactly moved Wigan on.

I wouldn't mind 'not being moved on' enough to win an FA Cup...

cant help but feel a bit put in my place

[LeDonk]

So Gartside your true thoughts on Wigan?..

Some journalists are seen by the football world as "big frauds" too William. Don't worry

I went to the game yesterday, took my dad for his birthday as he's a Wiganer, couldn't be more pleased for them. Plus we had City fans next to us and behind us which made it all the more fun.

I've not bought into this rivalry with Wigan, yesterday for me was a victory for football, proof that throwing money at clubs helps, but doesn't guarantee success.

Oh and that Callum McManaman is one hell of a player. I've not seen a winger rip apart a full back (Clichy) as much since Bale did it to Maicon.

Wigan are one of the prime examples of throwing money at a football club surely?

[wanderers_on_tour]

Maybe it's the fact i've never actually lived in Bolton so don't know the locality of the rivalry first hand, or many Wigan fans in general, but I was glad to see them win yesterday in the same manner that most people want to see the underdog prevail.

The only thing that hurt me was the fact that when we made it to Wembley in the cup...well we all know what happened there...
I know it was only the semi but still brings up the old 'what could have been' scenario. Let's hope Dougie truly can bring the good times back to Bolton.

Yeah and where not 100 odd million in dept are we

Oh no!!

I think the problem with Wigan fans is that they see themselves as a BIG club, and although the win yesterday was well deserved, it will only make them worse. I work with quite a few of them and since we went down they can't help themselves gloating. I'm just hoping that they now they take after the Wolves, go on the downward spiral, and descend back to where they belong into the Conference. But they'll still see themselves as BIGGER than us because they won the FA cup in 2013 and we've won nowt since 1958.

[thebish]

^ good point, well made!

[Lost Leopard Spot]

At least Bolton has won something in my lifetime. The fact that I was three at the time is neither here nor there...
