Wigan Athletic vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[jimhigham]

We've had worse times than this before and gladly come back for more. The problem is that through the dark times of the Goldstone sale, Priestfield and Withdean there was always the knowledge that we were pulling together for something tangible. I don't get that sensation anymore. The feeling is that we are consuming product; nothing more. I don't feel as though I am supporting a team.

Sad times. Of course I shall be back for more next season. It's what I do. It's what we all do. Next year it will feel that bit harder to do so.

Bloom you are f**king shit he hires and fires

It's his money that has got us where we are. But yes, there does seem to be a problem in our recruitment policy. Perhaps we need to go down a division and get our mojo back. It seems that winning needs to be a habit and we are not going to get that in this division with these players.
So either a mega investment (if we stay up) or back to L1 where we belong.

We Are Brighton ‏@wearebrighton 5m5 minutes ago

Hughton straight down the tunnel. No respect for the travelling support.

Yeah straight down the tunnel to hand his resignation in to clueless Bloom!!

We're not good enough for L1 m8

Well Millwall are unlikely to catch us now [ so maybe the game was irreverent] and even if they do there's the Rotherham case study, scenario, kettle of fish and it's nice to see smug Bournemouth and Norwich slipping up and more amazingly! …………………………………….. we scored.

What a ****ing farce this club is, premier league ready my arse, one club, one ambition , sucking FFPs dick, director of football bringing in bargain bin players and selling all the good ones, sacking one of the best managers we've had for reasons that haven't been revealed (for having ambition most likely), letting another great manager leave, hiring defensive managers playing one up front that are clueless (you could argue that Hughton did well with Newcastle, but I could've done well with them, and what happened when they got to the premier league? he got sacked, he did okay with Birmingham, but once again, they had a decent championship level squad (albeit not as good as Newcastle's but still), then he went to Norwich where he got sacked for playing shit football and bringing in shit strikers (sounds familiar), and Hyypiä got sacked from Bayer Leverkusen for not being able to get them to win, which also sounds familiar), getting in a CEO that has turned us from a nice club with a community feel to it into a corporate beast with no soul, that pretends to be one of the Premier League big boys, when in reality it could be one of the 48 lower league minnows in August.



Rant over.

Thats very poor form considering how loud our support was?

Probably couldn't face being told to **** off

 

[aolstudios]

Have lost all faith now, don't know whether to blame players or management team. Both pathetic.

I think you need to look a little higher up the food chain...

Little bit of hope for Wigan. If Rotherham do lose points they'll have a real chance of saving themselves. Thank goodness Millwall didn't win today!

 

[carteater]

I can't believe Hughton didn't clap the fans, they had to come all the way up to Wigan to watch that shit and get no thanks.

Very well said. Agree with every word.

Tuesday night and Millwall get a draw or better and our bottle will really go.
