[Football] Wigan v Man City

[Weststander]

Don’t get the love in for Pep, he’s a cheque book manager on steroids.

I wonder what job he will take next? PSG or Celtic

The same as Fergie, Mourinho and every Bayern/Real/Chelsea manager. They ALL bought their trophies, outspending the others.

Ferguson/Jose did it at smaller clubs as well.

£120 million on full backs in one summer!!

I could imagine Jose doing well at a club like Stoke, making them solid - Pep - no chance

The BBC have spent last 25 years sniffily refusing to show pitch invaders, streakers, crowd trouble, tunnel scuffles.

They really are pompous.

Annoying, isn't it? I'd much rather watch Guardiola go loco (and Paul Cook) than listen to Jenas droning on and sticking up for his chums.

Who said the FA Cup is dead? BBC1 at prime time, some people must be interested in it.

As for the BBC, Pep acting like a bell in the tunnel is EXACTLY what I pay the licence fee for. Show it FFS.

If they did then Saint Gary would have to say "Pep acting like a bell in the tunnel", and that ain't never going to happen.

I guess we should be grateful, I shudder to think how our loose cannon behaves, he probably makes Pep look like Hamble from Playschool.

Pretty much bang on with their core support, I lived in Wigan for about 4years during the time when Martinez and Jesus played for them at Springfield Park, I went a few times watching with Wigan Ath mates they had possibly the worst away end ever, I think we drew the first time Brighton went it was freezing 2-2 if I’m right. Anyway they attracted anywhere between 2-3.5k at home back then, the rugby clubs support had already started to dwindle from the highs of 30k in the past.

Wigan RL average league attendances have been at the same level for the last 30 years:

(13,700 was the 2017 figure). Which is typical.

You may be thinking of very rare occasions where 30,000+ filled Central Park.

Just seen it. Never, ever was that a red card.
One footed, wasn't high, took some of the ball.

Deary me.

Lineker always thinking of his next boot licking interview, burning no bridges.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

BBC so want city to win.

Plus Delph's leg was not straight.

The Wigan's player massive overreaction, making it seem like a Shawcross-Ramsey style incident, got him sent off.

I thought the opposite. Wigan string two attacking passes together and the commentator is ******* himself.

 

[LamieRobertson]

That lanky Wigan second half has played well

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Wigan have been poor against 10

 

[Hugo Rune]

We should sign Dunkley from Wigan. What a centre half pairing we could have. Economies of scale in the club shop too.

Great idea!

Here are two other players I fancy:

Tom Lees

Ryan Donk
https://www.transfermarkt.com/ryan-donk/profil/spieler/38414

That would give us two Ryans, a DonkLees, a Dunkley and a Dunk. It would also cost WA his job!

 

[LamieRobertson]

Ridiculous yellow for the Wigan player

 

[Milano]

The latest form of CHEATING is this feigning injury at the slightest touch, does my head in.

Mourinho £700m squad and outclassed in the PL.

Both Mourinho and Pepe wouldn't last 5 minutes at Stoke. Mourinho would politic about the budget, sulk.

Refs lost it.

We should trial subbing refs...

Jose won the CL with Porto and Inter - pretty damn impressive.

Jose is an expert at organising a defence at least.

Man City players throwing and rolling around at every challenge is getting embarrassing now. Pep clearly told them to try and level things up
