No disrespect here, but Warrington isn't much of a step up on St Helens, so I'm not sure where this cultural snobbery is coming from?...

I'm not trying to lord it up here because I don't like poverty and there are bits of Warrington that could do with some care and attention too, but on all official measures St Helens is a lot more deprived than Warrington.

I actually saw the post that I responded to as an attack on the people of St Helens, rather than the look of the place (which, even then, I don't see Warrington has being any much of an improvement), and, visiting Warrington town centre regularly and seeing some of the people who can be found there, it's very difficult to make an argument for us being any better a place than St Helens.

In realty, both towns are your standard northern towns, mainly crap, the odd nice spot, lots of questionable looking individuals - it's just quite amusing to see one town's inhabitants trying to lord it over another.. glass houses and stones and all that...

As for them calling us fickle. Right above the thread about us is one entitled 'cunningham mk 2" discussing whether wellens is up to the job. It was started shortly after they became WORLD champions! But yeah, we're the fickle ones. I'll guarantee saints would not get a 9k average if they ever experience a season like we had to last year(not that they probably ever will).

.... I'd love to see what you say about people when you are attacking them then!!

There was a bunch of boozy blokes at the front giving the Hull players some abuse, and Sutcliffe started giving it back. The kids that were stood in that area probably went home having learned some new words.

Although you can't condone such stuff, Sutcliffe needs to be bigger than that. He's a top level player at a big club, having moved from an even bigger club where he won trophies. If he's going to let a few boozy fans get to him and affect his game, he'll not get far at Hull.

Thanks, this was my guess. Certainly seemed that Sutcliffe, through his hand gesture, was putting forward a thesis that his interlocutor indulged in a little self-love.

Well worth the seven-year wait since my last home game. Was nervous beforehand just in case I jinxed it, but after that splendid first half, I was able to relax. Hopefully it won't be another seven years before my next appearance back at the HJ.

Blimey we can expect SEB, The All New Chester Wire and Getdownmonkeyman at any moment.

I long for the day Dropkick Murphy makes his reappearance.

I wonder what happened to the original Wire2004 from the old WolfWeb forum? Remember those days? You could post a reply using your 36k DialUp Modem and check back 3 days later to see if it appeared on the board…
