Next fight will be much tougher and one Im very excited for, Kevin Johnson who has gone the distance with Vit Kliskho, Tyson Fury and Chisora, far from the pub fighter AJ KO'd last weekend and a definite step up in class. AJ has finished his apprenticeship now as it were and the next 18-24...

Unfair comparrison, 2 players at completely different stages in their career, Wilson was full of potential and that has been fullfilled through hard work, Clarke was fullfilling his full potential when with us, didnt really have much more to give, no ammount of "hard work" would have seen him...

Have I missed something with Turgott? Scored against P'boro and was reard with 10 frantic minutes against LO and not been in the squad since. We were crying out for some natural width on the right wing, Barton and O'Brien made their way out there every so often but both were constantly drifting...

Wigan arent even the biggest sporting club in Wigan!

I agree with you CJ, at the end of every failure at major tournaments the talk is always of restructing fromgrass routes upwards, I think by keeping players like Kane at u21s for major tournaments you give what we hope to be the national team in 4-5 years more time to learn and grow together...

Its that sense of pride you have when you wear a football shirt abroad or go to work in a different part of a country, people know your team because you play against Liverpool/United/Arsenal twice a season and that was something to be proud of 20-25 years ago, I reccently started work in...

Me being the gullible optimistic sod I am, when we do get that innevitable promotion back to the Championship or dare I say it the PL, it will be so much sweeter and appreciated having sat through the dire football of months gone by

Money in F1 buys you instant success as you are investing in a team of enjineers who can produce a car that if 90% reliable you will win a world championship. Because you are putting money and work into a tangable machine which has been designed to work and be reliable so the intangable you put...

Im not underrestimating the drivers skills, I am merely stating that theyre level of skill is nowhere near as important as the input of the enjineers. The drivers standings do not reflect the level of skills as a driver. How can Vettell who won the championship 4 straight years by huge margins...

A sport/hobby absolutely driven by £££ in my opinion, the teams that throw the most money at it get the best cars and win 9 out of 10 races. Overpaid enjineers working all week to make a machine for their driver race away from the field after starting at the front of the grid. Id say the...

I think I am right in saying that as a club we are the longest serving without a top 6 finish, granted that includes many a year in the PL but year after year of of not being able to finish within even touching distance of the playoffs is really beginning to take its toll. Going to matches is...

Higgs centre?

"We handled the occasion really well" Surely he didnt say that? There was more of an occasion at my neices christening than at the Ricoh last night!

the negativity is coming from from the home counties and Warwickshire understandably as it provides no real gain for them.

Love a good conspiracy story don't you, not everyone's out to get you you know. Having lived up north for a number I years I can testify as to just how bad the train lines are connecting Leeds/Sheffield, Manchester and Birmingham. Why on earth would potential investors in these cities chose to...

Thats a pretty short sighted comment in all honesty, not wanting to distract from the thread being about the building of a new stadium, but the HS2 is not just about cutting the LDM-BRM (which is actually going to cut most journey times by 35 mins), its about keepin the rest of the country up to...

Pretty sure the HS2 is 100% happening if that's what you're referring to as the rail link, residents that are to be affected have been told and provisional offers on houses made, sites have been located for construction depots etc

Not sure how the good folk of BC would feel about that, I grew up in Tile Hill and went to school in Balsall, the impression I got of the people over there that they would protest the opening of a chip shop let alone a football stadium on their green land. HS2 set to disturb a fair bit of the...

Agree, Bristol City at home in the next round would be better, could see us shipping 3-4 in an away leg at a sold out ashton gate, something I cant see us overturning at the Ricoh. Nick a draw in a one off game at home to them and enter the lottery of the penalty shootout. Id fancy us over 2...

Hes worth double because he has proven he can do it in the Championship, something he wouldn't have been able to do if he'd had stayed here. Nobody would have paid double or treble of what we got if he was stuck banging them in against L1 defenses.
