That is comedy gold, when in any sport has anything been even? |

I don’t wonder, I know and so do you, the difference is you can’t accept it!  |

Oh believe me, I fully accept my reasons for hating you, and not one of them involve envy in the slightest. I'd be embarrassed to have the levels of smug arrogance that some of you have.

You do realise, if we take away 1988-1995 from the equation, Wigan are still the most successful club in RL? |

Possibly the finest point of the homecoming this afternoon was when 'Simply the Best' was played over the PA system and the thousands of loyal supporters all sang as one to a tune so synonymous with unparalleled success.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

The Saints fans LOVE that song.
I was outside the Raven when it was being played and two ladies were giving it rock, singing their heads off.  |

| Quote: The Yellow Giraffe "Quite the opposite actually. If Saints had won more trophies than anyone else in an era when the sport was part-time, I wouldn't go on about it. I'd focus on what the club has achieved since the sport went professional, seeing as that's what counts the most.
Wigan have struggled to come to terms with not being top dog since everyone joined them as a professional club. You may catch the likes of Saints and Leeds up in the future, who knows. Until you do, we have nothing to be jealous of.'"
All I care about is that I have been blessed in seeing my club lift the cup 12 times. Which is as many as any other club has won in their entire history. |

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
Fermentation may have been a greater discovery than fire.

Why should Rugby League be Even and Fair? no other sport is! Football isnt even, Rugby U isnt, Athletics isnt even, F1 racing isnt run where all the teams are even, SO why should Rugby League be run differently??
Why should Wigan be brought down to the same level of low ambition, achievement/performance as St Helens or Wakefield for eg.? why should the other teams in the game not show some ambition and try to achieve some success for a change?
The Home coming parade was Great today. |

Once again, if you take out 1988-1995 Wigan are still the most successful club in RL, so your argument is still invalid.
Even more invalid when you consider Leeds were the first Professional club, not Wigan. |

I've checked the records. None of our wins have an asterix against them. |
