You are more chuffed that we lost, than your team won? Oh dear, oh dear and some of you have the nerve to call us obsessed

Sorry mate, the best side in the league are 2 times reigning SL champs. You're a close 2nd though. NO matter what, WIGAN are still the most successful club in the history of the game. keep trying but you'll never catch us up.

Currently we are top of the league, hence us currently being the best team in the country this year. You may be the most successful club ever, however this wont help you this year. History will do nothing for you now.

You should watch what you say my friend, history has a strange way of repeating itself!!

We will dominate again!!

Nor will it for you. Tonight you were humiliated.

That may change next week. It may not. But as of this moment in time, you are DROSS.

You may do one day, however this would be nothing to do with your History. It would be to do with decisions that you make now. For what it's worth I think with a couple more signings you will be up there challenging for honours, but only time will tell what happens.

I would agree with this up to a point. However nothing is independant of history. If you haven't learned that then you haven't learned the lessons of...er, well...history!

One will have to be a coach with some fresh ideas and a pair of knackers.

Well that's not strictly true. Here's a couple examples off the top of my head of why it does effect the present. Our ability to attract players is largely based on our standing and past history rather than any tangible current possibility of honours. It's more a feeling that it's only a matter of time until we return to former glories. Similarly our fanbase is based on the great Wigan history and I'm sure you will appreciate the importance of that with regards to becoming a force in any sport. It's the reason, despite their current good results, fans of Saints and Leeds don't fear the sudden emergance of maybe Castleford or Wakefield as a major force wheras they always know, as indeed do you, the probibility that Wigan will one day once again take their place at the top table. I'm sure there are many more examples but, equally, I'm sure there's enough right there for you to accept you were wrong....

Indeed, you can see his colours a little better when Wigan aren't on but the old enemy are.

OOOOhhhh I would question that comment. I think Wigan gave you a much better game than Leeds did and we will raise our game for you again next week. (I bloody hope)! By the way, we were relegated in 1978-79 and as you will know from history, the phoenix came up from the ashes and attracted the likes of Brett kenny, John Ferguson and erm.... that guy who played at Stains, Andy Platt oh and garry Connolly. Not bad signings for a team who had been relegated just a few seasons earlier eh?
