Wigan or Warrington?

Quote: sally cinnamon "I don't really go along with this "Saints fans were arrogant in their glory days" thing.

Yes they were cocky when they were winning everything but Saints fans don't seem to take themselves too seriously, whereas the pie eaters take themselves very seriously. Most Saints fans can have a laugh about being below Wire now (who would have thought it) because they know they've won it all and also, a bit like the Aussies in cricket, they know that the teams that are beating them now, would not have been winning things if Cunningham, Scully and the greats of old were still around. Nobody has yet come around that was better than Saints [iwere[/i, so probably some of the Saints remaining chippiness is based on that knowledge.

The Wigan fans take themselves very seriously and don't seem to have the same sense of humour which is why its funnier to beat them than it is to beat Saints. I suppose its further away in the past that Wigan were a great team and for the majority of the summer era they have been in Saints shadow which also makes them paranoid and bitter. Much as it used to get on my nerves when Saints took the mick out of us during their long winning streak, I always had a chuckle when the Saints got cocky with the pie eaters in their derbies.'"

Give over! So saints fans are cocky because they know they've won it all, so Wigan fans are cocky because, guess what? So have we. And Saints fans are secure in the knowledge that if their legends we're still around they'd still be world beaters, just like the Aussies at cricket, or Wigan and their legends! And if being in Saints shadow for most of the summer era equates to us being bitter then what does it make Wire fans because you're sounding quite bitter yourself.
