Missed opportunity for the club is this. I’d sign up for a season ticket tomorrow if it meant helping the club out, regardless of how many matches I was ultimately able to attend and many others are the same.

Not good that the DW gyms have gone. I hadn’t actually managed to get to mine since I threatened to! I’ve just moved house, so I might try and find one nearer here....

But if we’d spent less on transfer fees, then we could maybe make an allowance on the wages?

Would be easier to compete if we hadn’t waxed £12 Million on Gallagher and Brereton....

Has any of this criticism of JRC been really over the top? I can’t say I agree. I suppose it depends on interpretations of over the top.... But for me- over the top criticism would be posts like- ‘he’s useless’, he’ll never be a professional’ ‘he hasn’t shown any quality so far’. Etc, etc. I am happy to be corrected if I’m wrong, but I’ve seen none of the above attributed to JRC at all on here.

He’s the biggest prick of all time, there’s legit no way I would have ever tuned in for this. Hope nobody else put themselves through it!

We’ve heard that one before....

Thought you were going to break into the Um Bongo rap then tbh....

Before I post the below, let me just say, any inside information is greatly received, but as per the rules, please don’t wind people up about it. Just to clarify a few points, from a moderating point of view- this is what’s okay and what isn’t. Okay- ‘we are interested in this player, I know his family and we have held talks’. I’ll let you know once I hear more. Not okay- ‘I know this guy at the club and he’s told me this, but I’m sworn to secrecy’. Dangling carrots during silly season may be entertaining to you, but winding people up is classed as trolling and contravenes the rules. Best not to say anything at all, if you aren’t allowed to. Otherwise, threads are derailed and turn into slanging matches that have gone off topic.

Whoever reported it, they did the right thing, so it came right to my attention! Anyhow, let’s get back to transfers!

I’ve just logged on after nipping out for an hour and dealt with it now. Insults aren’t something we encourage either...

Absolutely. There are many blurred lines in terms of national teams that I’m not really in favour of tbh.

He’s got an Irish first name, but he was born and raised in England in fairness.... A number of players from NI play junior level for them, then switch to the ROI later on. They can’t have it both ways ?

On my fourth golf lesson of five today, the pro asked ‘are you sure you’ve never played before?’. What a good lad.

Where are they now? I know where we are. Back to square one, needing a keeper (probs 2) and more defenders again. Progress eh?

I bet barely if any Wigan players live in Wigan tbh.

In football, (and in many respects in anyone else’s professional life) you’re only loyal to yourself, it’s always been like that. I think it’s right as well tbh.

I always find the comments criticising reading too much into what the manager says as a bit unusual. He’s touted as being an honourable and honest guy (which I think there is something in tbh), so with that in mind, why should people not believe what he says?

Haha yeah, don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t get that for your child, but there are loads of more child friendly games I believe.

Just get stuck in mate, borrow one off a mate or something, they’re some of the best games of all time!

Like a good little hype beast, I usually relent fairly soon with the new consoles tbh.... You’re right though, the new ones coming out have a limited amount of games on them. One of which they were pushing as GTA V, which initially came out on PS3! The PS4 has loads of good games out by this point, so there’s plenty to go at tbh. To answer your question though, I’d hang on for now, I’m not sure how much PS4s are at the minute, though my mate was telling me the price crept up at the start of lockdown, which was a bit naughty....

It’s Warnock, so he will probably try and tempt Paddy Kenny out of retirement....

Nah, DW right in town. It’s super cheap, but you can’t park anywhere outside, which is annoying though....

@MarkBRFC pretty much nails it with his post, tbh. But my own comments. League 1- great for the first half of the season, when he had that potential two game suspension hanging over him, he seemed to lose his edge. Championship- well, he never hit the same heights as he did in the league below, let’s be honest here. Overall- it was good to see a combative midfielder again, after years of watching crabs and he made some very important contributions. But, now we have superior players in his position, so there’s now no room at the inn and all that.

You seen that Armstrong fella?
