HAHA - Its already been pointed out on this thread that both clubs have the odd idiots but the majority of our fans get along and have respect for what each others teams have achieved. Something that you as a Little Wire fan will never understand.

Nice to know we've got under your skin run along now little boy.

He has probably never even heard of it

I know I haven't

While I was in the coach car park waiting for the last two Saints fans(you always get them don't you) we had quite a few Wiganers come past us as we had been in the car park for over half hour and there was no baiting the Saints fans or taking the p155.
It just goes to show that their has always been respect between Saints and Wigan fans and long may it continue.

My girlfriend and her family & friends are Saints supporters and they enjoyed a good pre-match build up and banter with me and my daft mates.

They've taken the loss pretty well and I've had congratulations off them all via text.

However, I can't wait till we go to theirs for tea next week. I doubt the usual giggling when offering me ''some peys'' and ''carruts'' will happen this time....

There's an important difference between Wolfs and Saints fans. We might not like Saints and their claims to be the "Entertainers" etc but you have to respect them, particularly their achievements in the SL era. Their fans have responded to Wigan's resurgence in the right way. They have some fans who don't behave well but to be fair I'd say at the moment we have a larger number of idiots than they do (though some of that is down to the larger fan base). Loathe them or loathe them, you have to take them seriously.

The Wolfs though have more than their fair share of idiots (that's something of an understatement) and they add to this by making laughable claims to be a big/great/successful club, when their league record is an embarassment and their record against Saints is so bad that you suspect Leigh are likely to win in St Helens sooner than the Wolfs. Its very difficult to respect a club like that, they and their fans can't be taken seriously.

Looking at the rivalry between Saints and Wigan reminds me on Man Utd and Liverpool. Both sets hate each other with a passion on matchdays, but have repect for eachother. Wire reminds me of say Man City or Everton in the mix. Win 1 or 2 trophies and they big themselves up as world beaters. done nothing. You cant get a decent converstation or argument with a Wire fan as they cant see further than the Wire. Nothing else matters. This thread alone proves it.

Even now when a thread with one of the best posts ive read in a while a Wire fan has to go ninja mental and start an argument. No one cares about the Wire here your side has 12 months then most of your players are going for a pension. Must be an obsesssion for them poor buggers been the Everton of SL. Saint fans around where i was on Saturday were great bunch of fans.

Cant wait for next season.

Look down a thread or 2. We got the better of that deal by a long way.

Oh dear some of you have clearly missed the point.



Funny enough I started watching Wire in 1997 so no but this is the first time I actually can remember Wigan winning the league.

ninja mental and start an argument

Really?

Maybe you should read it again the point I was making is there has been trouble in the past between you and Saints yet its been forgotten and put down the the odd stupid 2% of fans yet trouble with us hasn't an people seemed to think that its a given trouble would of happened between us, I don't remember anything at the DW or remember seeing anything on here either after we played you.

Am confused with all the little snide comments though don't really see the need.

So you didn't watch the 1998 Grand Final then?

Confused. What i would like to know why did you feel the need to make your intital post. Talk about calling my comments snide. Your intital commet has nothing to do with last weekend at all and was totally out of order.

Yet again you prove you see nothing but Wire. You cant even let 2 sets of fans show some respect to eachother.

Like I said "actully remember" so no I didn't the sport was still very new to me at the time.

And it was a dig either.

Missed the point again.

Nevermind.
