I would like to take this opportunity to offer my congratulations to Wigan Athletic, it may have been a poor season but how they have come good in the last few weeks fills my of pride in our town. Im a huge fan of both our premier sports clubs and just wish that we could both get along!

Lock it quick.

Fair play to them.

However I don't remember a 'Well done Wigan' thread on Cockney Liar back end of last year?

Yep A big thankyou to all the millionaire South Americans, Africans and Cockneys for keeping my hometown football team in the Premiership. I'll see you all in't King Billy for a pint... Or will I???
ALthough its another summer with long sleeve shirts for those red devil/liver bird tattoo clad chameleons in the town!!

I was very pleased Latics stayed up and really can''t understand why people get so angry and occasionally rather pathetic about it. It definatley works both ways. I do have a massaive issue with Whelan (since the play off game with Bradford, good friday game etc) but not for latics and certainly not for the majority of their fans

When you say majority of their fans do you mean the real fans ie 1500 that watched in the dark days? If so im with you, Or the thousands or cretins that woke up on 9th May 2005 and if by magic turned from a Utd/scouse fans into a 'true blue 25 year supporting five knuckle shuffler' then I dissagree completely........

yes your right, glory hunters, the best part of being cack is that you have REAL fans

I dont even mind glory hunters, what I can't abide is chameleon like tendencies of thousands of Latics fans that now forget their past allegencies to Utd/scouse teams...

If it means latic stay s in prem and keeps our cost s down . Well done

He does have a point. I know of at least two people with past allegencies to MUFC, one of which has since switched back to them.

*You know these two people as well Tracie.

Edit - just thought of someone else (ex LFC), you will know him too.

Unless we get turfed out again come the playoffs, then well done. IL reckons it's better for us anyway doesnt he, with running costs, pitch/stadium upkeep etc.

Lets have it right, if this was the other way round, in fact, in October, can you imagine a "well done Wigan rugby" thread on Cockney Latic?? No. They HATE us, they would have us booted out of the stadium tommorow and the ignorant rubbish that is posted on Cockney Latic and the abuse they give Rugby fans throughout pubs and clubs in the Wigan area is disgusting, they are a pathetic little football club that hate the rugby, let them stay in the prem, they'll be batting relegation every year until they go down, and when they do, they'll never return to the top flight. Open your eyes rugby fans!! and picture it the other way round.

Go in the Anvil when the rugby is on.......and watch the Latics lot jump up and turn the tele off...happens every week aparently, they hate us with an absoulute passion.

This is a key point.

It's evidently much better for us overall if they stay up.

i wouldnt waste my breath congratulating them! because they wouldnt do it for us! the abuse i got yesterday for pointing out that wigan is a rugby team! rugby was around long before football & will stay around long after its gone! but according to people i spoke to yesterday, rugby is only recognised in yorkshire, lancashire and australia! no one else has ever heard of wigan warriors, the only time youll see a warriors shirt abroad is if a wiganer is on holiday! and the best one of all! we rent their ground and wreck their pitch! so they wont be getting a pat on the back from me anytime soon
