u r 100% right im sick of the blue poo dishing out towards the rl fans of wigan, its the blue poo cockney fans who made me hate um soooo much, they need to c a real mans game instead of watching a little pussy rolling round on the floor because he sneezed,

Congratulate latics...Pffft !

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.

Top mates you got there. Has he got a secret past of supporting Man U, L/pool, Everton? or another of our more famous footballing neighbours. He sounds like he's a bit insecure of his current allegiance to the blue sh@t. (Think i'll abuse my mate for having the balls to congratulate me on my team avoiding relegation and risk losing our friendship) I say tell him to feck right off, and go play with the other kiddies that live on the Cockney liar site, they have clearly got into his twisted little head.

congratulations for what?

they won nothing........were very poor also rans and out of their depth.

congratulations should be saved for winners.

Correct, why praise mediocrity, it baffles me !!!

one story that i found quite amusing was that after the full time whistle, martinez threw his jacket to the latics fans as a thank you.
trouble was he had forgotten to take his wallet out of the pocket and that went as well
what a dipstick

Newspaper bollox - confirmed by Martinez.

I am very pleased with the result.

So what if one or two idiot "latics fans" bad mouth Wigan RL? There are plenty on here who bad mouth Wigan Athletic.

Great that a town the size of Wigan, situated where it is, in the catchment area of Liverpool and Manchester, is represented at the top table of Football.

As for the comments that only winners should be congratulated.....

Do you REALLY think that Wigan Athletic can compete with the money on offer from Chelsea and Man City?

Survival in the Premier League is the best they can hope for and well done to them for achieving that!

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!

Long may our town have sports teams competing at the top of their respective games, we still have a Premier League football team and not only a Super League team but Super League Champions. Tremendous for the town.

Agreed. I think that there is more than one or two that bad mouth the rugby. I remember years ago, before they got in the prem, going to a latics match and hearing the chants of "if you hate Wigan rugby clap your hands", but then we sing "fu** the latics" in one of our songs, so it's a bot pot/kettle for us to say we hate them for saying nasty things about us

Some Latics fans are good blokes, infact, the majority of them are good people. There are a minority who a knuckle dragging idiots, which to be fair, we have as well. Such as the 2 guys I was stood next to at bradford who spent the whole time hurling abuse at Josh Charnley for little to no reason. The Latics fans I know - season ticket holders who claim to have been going since the Springfield days, know of the animosity, and possibly even feel some of that animosity themselves, but when we speak about the situation they see there are 2 sides to this story and there's no point to us hating each other. The town is plenty big enough for the both of us.

OMG i'm agreeing with him again... To stay up with the resourses thay have is an achievement.

What an excellent post. I do not like football, much I'm pretty indifferent to latics. If they stay up or go down I don't care, but that's more to with disliking football than the club. What I don't like is the minority of their fans apparently all of which congregate on the cockney latic site; they're pretty disgraceful, even if the were RL fans (or fans of anything) I would still see the same.
