I've read all the envious clap trap from our near neighbours about Mondays game, and how Steve Ganson gave us the match ! and about our small number of traveling away fans . But not one of the tripe hounds who come on this forum to vent their acid envy mentioned a great performance by our kids . well next year we will be in our brand new ground with a team already being assembled for the next campaign . So all you wannabes playing in ya rented football stadiums can sod off , WELL DONE THE KIDS

Awwww looks like you might need one as well

like i said SOD OFF

Ok then I'll bite! Yes we at Wigan are all really envious of all the talent coming through your youth ranks, we can't wait to start producing are own.....wait a minute.

And wannabes? What do we wannabe exactly?

P.S I do think Saints youngsters are doing a job at the moment, but idiots like the OP get on my nerves with all the "look at us" BS!

Our young players are outstanding this season. Sure, one or two leave a bit to be desired defence-wise, but their effort, the way they have seemlessly blended into the side no matter how short the call up time has been, and some of the skill they have displayed gives every Saints fan great heart not only for this season but also for next - especially for next!

Nathan Ashe was terrific, for example. Just back from injury, probably a week's notice to play, debut performance in place of one of the best fullbacks to grace a pitch during Superleague, and he not only works hard but his intuition, step and nifty ball work helps to set up a try. Pity he couldn't have scored one for himself, as that would have topped off his debut beautifully!

Seven of our players yesterday were aged 21 and under. And not one looked out of place. Their performances are a testimony to the fantastic work done by our youth coaches and the ability of our present head coach to bring out the best in them even though the make up of the team changes every week.

If you dont like it, dont come on the Saints forum!

Simples init.

That's fair enough. I just found it funny that the the OP seemed to have a fairly large chip on his shoulder aimed at Wigan, despite nobody having actually provoked him.

Its not a chip,we just detest you.

Well actually he's probably fed up of Rogues, Nikos et al constantly on here constantly derailing threads or just generally being bitter.

That aside I'm pretty happy with the way things are going , and even if we don't win anything this year I can see next year in our new home , new signings and much stronger squad in general (all the young lads having far more experience) being a great year

cant be ar.sed to read the last few pages, but fwiw i thought it was a great game,played in a good spirit..........after calming down after the penalty award a draw was imo a fair result,neither side deserved to lose, and yes you have sum very good youngster there, really impressed with one or two of them..........must have been a cracking match to watch as a neutral

I'm a massive Wigan fan but don't 'detest' any other fans. Dislike on the grounds of their team of choice and the rivalry, yes. I'm sure the majority of Saints suporters don't 'detest' Wigan fans either. It doesn't belong in our sport, and if you honestly feel that way then you should either go and watch football or grow up.
