Well done Latics. It's a shame that the best we can expect is for them to narrowly avoid relegation rather than challenge for honours (and laud it as an achievement), but there you go.

I sent my mate a congratulations text; he replied by saying that we should get out of his stadium and that we can keep the "M62 cup". I asked him what trophy his side had just won, and he replied with a load more abuse.

THAT is why I'm not overly bothered whether Wigan Athletic stay up or go down. The team doesn't offend me as I don't really care for Association Football. I don't hate it, it just bores me silly. But is has to be said, the attitudes of some of WAFC's supporters aren't exactly welcoming.

Perhaps that's what you should tell the people who are easily winding you up by supporting a team in a sport you seem to have no interest in.

Anyway back on topic - as Lenegan has already stated, it is in our commercial interests to see the Latics in the Premiership. Given this it's a no brainer why it's good to see them stay up, even for those who dislike them/have no interest in football.

I think that just about sums this thread up.

Knock a whole club due to the rantings of a few keyboard warrior bell-ends?
Mods!

All the Latics fans i know think that the people who post on cockney latic are dribbling divs. It's a bit unfair to generalise all Latics fans based on the crap they come out with, just like it would be unfair if Latics fans generalised about us based on the posts of our most bitter fans. All very childish. If people could grow up and stop hating for the sake of hating we would probably have a few more cross over fans and both teams might be a bit better off.

Congratulations to the Latics. I'm not a Latics fan or a football fan, but I can see that them staying up is good for us and good for the town, and I wish them all the best for next season, even if some of their fans hate us

WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE SAID WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE!!!

Couldnt care less about the football team and hope we have a good sing of WIGAN ROAD .., next monday.

That's the good news.

The bad news YOU have to go through it all again next season.

Only club to have played in the top flight and never been relegated.

Will you keep hold of N'Zogbia though? I'll obviously wait to see who comes and goes but I reckon I'll be backing the Latics to stop up, yet again.



Visca Wigan!

I have visited their website and am quite amused at their drivel.

I have already congratulated them because it is quite an achievement to stay in the premier league and I am not going to sink to their level of petty hatred.

Years ago I went to a few games at Springfield Park but once they got into the prem league I stopped going because I couldnt stand next to some 16 year old wannabe hooligan chanting anti Wigan Rugby songs and on one occasion kicking Wigan Rugby boards whilst being egged on by his big hard mates.

I think both clubs should try hard to stop all this petty bickering as it is doing nether club any favours and is losing them both revenue.

I don't think Everton or Arsenal have been relegated.

Arsenal once - 1913

Everton twice - 1951 & 1954

We were relegated in 1992 from Div 3 to Div 4, which was re-named Div 3 the following season after the PL was created.
