It was mentioned in the commentary. Not sure which game but I certainly heard it

It's nonsense.

Here's the thing. We're a little bit obsessed by you. No doubt about it, however much we deny it. The "older" generation grew up watching us chase you in the 80s and 90s and go bust doing so. You were the standard bearers for those two decades. Now it's bee largely us this last decade and I think we like to puff out our chests in your direction.

I don't like some of your team's tactics but that is a different discussion all together. You're the bad guys around here and that's great but a few of our posters seem to be taking t a little bit far. There appears to be a nice little rivalry building up and, again, that's great. Nothing wrong with a little bit of spice. I hope it continues.

Agree. Also they are one of the top teams. During the 3 in a row years there was extra spice with saints. All top teams who are competing have a bit of added niggle

I still watch the highlights of that infamous '09 Saints Leeds game every so often, no shortage of spice or niggle there!
There'll be some big games between Leeds, Wigan and Saints (and maybe Wire!) over the next couple of years, I can't wait!

I like to puff my chest out in wigan's direction.

Erry day.

On Saturday I watched all the grand final highlights from 04-12. The saints ones which are part of 3 in a row. There was some spice in those games for sure

There might be a bit of that, but I'll tell you something. There's some of that going on in the other direction too. They absolutely can't stand that fact that we are now the bigger, more successful, better supported club. The bile enamating from that other forum is an example. If you look on social media whenever Leeds are playing, always the most vociferous against Leeds or our players are the Wigan fans.

There's a difference between a bit of niggle, and been total s*** houses. We had Bailey as the class clown wind up merchant. They've got Bateman, McIlorum, J.Tomkins, O'Loughlin to name a few. All familiar with cheap shots, head high tackles, laying on the man. It's all coached into them. If you get in Wigan's faces and show you won't be bullied, they don't have an answer

Yep, no doubt there's an element of Wigan fans that still live in the 90s (cue 'looks like the 1890s' joke), i'd hope most would recognise what a mess we were not so long ago and realise we're not doing too bad to be competing among the top teams.

Blah blah blah.

A fantastic response there.

Well I've tried to respond sensibly but when your talking to a screaming toddler who just wants attention there comes a point where you just give up.

What interests me, is that despite being registered as a member for about 3 years, you've only made 29 posts, just under half of which have been on this thread in the last few days. I think your posts are mostly cogent and your position reasonable (baring in mind your cherry and white bias). But why after years of virtual Trappist silence do we see a flurry of posts defending the "Wigan Culture"? In true through the keyhole fashion I have to ask, "Who inhabits a profile like this?" You are Shaun Wayne, this is your post GF therapy and I claim my £5

Got me there mate, back to the drawing board
