prime example of why i will not waste my breath congratulating latics!

went on my facebook to find this status from a latics fan.

"Just seen the clip on bbc sport were sam tompkins got knocked out by gareth raynor's punch it is so funny can't stop laughing you have got to watch it"

tomPkins? who is he! & why is there any need for that!

Best calm down talking about women and booze, I can't imagine it's good for your blood pressure the way you get worked up.

Anyway got to go, I'm a die hard Man U fan this weekend - oh bugger shouldn't have said that around you - BANG!

Will someone call Owdpopularsider an ambulance please, thanks.

No no I'm having the last say
Watch out I'm gonna blow

With you all the way Owdpopularsider. I could take you in the East stand and point out 4 grown men with Everton tatts on their arms and shoulders. 2 with liverpool tatts who went following the scousers all over Europe in the eighties. They claimed when challenged and embarrassed about the sudden change of allegience that the tics are their 2nd team and like to watch prem football at a cheap rate. I went to a few games with a genuine Tics fan a few years ago, i smirked at the anti Rugby songs and the anti Rugby talk on the concourse at half time. FFS talk about obsessed. I was then approached by an ex workmate and his cronies who asked what the feck i was doing in THEIR stadium as i was an eggy. I told him that not long ago he was an eggy as well and had been to Wembley on several occassions, as well as many Wigan RL home games. he denied this in front of his mates stating he was only working on the doors at Central Park and went to Wembley for the craic and a weekend away. Spineless barsteward. Never been to a Latics game since, still good mates with the true Latics supporter who incidently agrees the Johnny come lately brigade are glory hunters but admits the football club needs all the support it can get.

I own a horse.

You have clearly been outed as a bulter who likes his own version of facts.

Latics had 8-9000 attending in the early 80s. As the novelty wore off in the 90s, it dwindled down to 1500-2000. So maybe the extra fans you claim supported "other clubs" were actually those who had turned their back on Latics (and football in general). And maybe they take their kids too now.

Same for the rugby. They used to get crap crowds and then people fell in love with the game again.
