There's no way we'll be referred to as Champions. Eddie will still continue to ask, are Wigan the real deal?

Quote: LovesToSpooge "It's still not sunken in yet for me, as I don't think of us as Champions when I think about Wigan. Maybe it's because as soon as we became Champions the SL season finished and since then little has been made of it. Still I'm sure as soon as the 2011 season kicks off and were referred to as Champions it will seem more real. Anyone else feeling a similar way?

On a side note how many times have people watched the GF? I viewed it for the sixth time last night, and enjoy it more and more after each viewing.'"


Only Six?! I watched it 10 times in the first week! I have watched it at least once every single day since it happened. I think I can just about do the running commentary off by heart now.

.........I would have watched it many more times than I did but my HD+ box decided to automatically delete it for me before I had transferred it to DVD .... amstrad ba****d.

Soooooooooooo if any body happens to have a spare copy lying around I'd be eternally in your debt icon_razz.gifRAY:

Still sinking in. I still keep looking at our honours list just to make sure that the 19th league title has been recorded!

Savouring it so much that 21-12 & meself chucked in for a flag with '19 Times Champions' on it! Looking forward to hammering the point home at some away grounds next season. "We're not famous anymore"

Watched it 3 or 4 times.

Wouldnt waste your money.....you'll only get a year's use out of it and it will be out of date icon_wink.gif

Still just sinkin in myself......Just been on the website and its only when you see the list of honours for last season it makes it sink in and makes you realise WIGAN ARE WELL AND TRUELY BACK! It still feels like a dream though;

Super League Champions
Super League League Leaders
Super League 9's Champions (even more special as it was achieved with an academy team against a near full strength bradford line up in the final)
Club of the Year
Best supported RL Club
Man of Steel
Young Player of the Year
Coach of the Year
Super Leagues top Try Scorer
Super Leagues top points scorer

No wonder it was so easy to get sponsorship this year with all that!!

Thanks to IL, Mike Maguire, the backroom staff, and all the lads for making me and many others proud to be a Wigan RL fan again. I thought it after the Leeds F/e but then they topped it off with the GF - We're back where we belong and long may it stay that way!

Remember this....

It wouldn't surprise me if we aren't referred to as champions. In 97 and 98 when the then champions struggled, Eddie bigged up super league. In 99 when we struggled he belittled us. So what?

I cant wait to sing 'you've only come to see the champions'

Might be me being daft but not understanding this 'We're not famous anymore' chant - is it meant to refer to something in particular?

We're not famous anymore?

Ironic chant. Like United fans singing 'Who the fook are Man United" when they score because that was a chant directed at them by opposition fans pretty much as 'You're not famous anymore" was directed at us during the lean years.

It's tongue in cheek I suppose & typical of Wiganers in general who have always tended to take criticism from our enemies and turn it into a positive like pie-eaters (a term we now embrace) and Wigan Pier (a music hall joke that was made a tourist attraction)

Opposition fans sung it as they said we wasnt famous no more due to us having a e spell and winning nothing.
