The reaction of Phil Clarke to that Maguire injury still leaves a sour taste all these on, and i think i'm at the point where when i now hear him say anything i feel the same way i do when Tyler is commentating on the rags.
I'm quite happy to give Wigan credit when it's due. I especially remember Dave Furner taking Leeds game plan apart one year all by himself, and couldn't believe we got him the year after. My biggest gripe at the minute is the tactics employed by Warne over the last few years, concentrating on what i consider the negative side of the game, like the shenanigins around slowing the ruck, and the seemingly direction from him to go out and hurt or disrupt certain players.
Another thing i've found amusing when speaking to fans from other clubs is their apparant belief of how Wigan players are favoured for England call ups, similiar to our moans regarding the rags and the FA. Possibly a case in point was the other year when you had a out-of-form or not match fit players like Sam Tomkins / Sean o'Loughlin likely to get the nod in front of other in form players.
I remember when we used to mock Saints for getting loads of England call ups. There was a lot of that when I went to my first Rhinos game about 20 years ago.
I recall Bobby Giukding missed an injury time penalty to win the game for Saints as the South Stand chanted, "Bobby, Bobby I've shagged your wife".
So the top and bottom of these original points by you are quite simple to analyse,you hate Wigan,well let me be straight,and not just from me,but I could line you up 1000's who would hate Leeds a lot more,you would think that Wigan had just beaten Leeds in Grand Final ! Ah well
Sorry to burst your bubble but i don't hate Wigan, but i do dislike them as well as a lot of other people do, for various reasons as i've preciously mentioned.
All you've done is state people hate Leeds more, without giving any reasons, and spout on that people dislike Wigan due to envy which is not the case.
So like i say to the rags i know, keep dwelling on your past history, and i'll stay happy thinking about the current & future :)
but City and Leeds,wow,I even woke up shaking my head this morning at that thought,but as you said the reasons for that,mmmmmmmmm,probably right about no Manchester teams,Salford,Swinton,Oldham,Rochdale wouldn't have lit my fire really neither
why's that any different to you? from where i live in NE Manchester, Wigan is only about 5miles nearer than Leeds.
so are you a wiganer who supports City (if so why don't you support your local football team)?
or are you a born & bred manc who did a bit of glory-hunting and supported a succesful RL team (and if so why didn't you choose one of the 'Manc' teams you listed above)?
or did you choose to support Wigan due to family connections/ support etc?
Sorry but my irony meter is starting to swing off the scale.
You two still at it haha
