Thats why I am gloating. I am more than aware that we could fall foul too, but until that happens, I am gladlly going to gloat
Like i said i'm not telling/asking you not to gloat at their defeat or anything.
We're in a very privileged position in that we support probably the most consistently successful team in Superleague, one of the two best sides in the competition last season. This allows us a standpoint from which few of us feel the need to 'big ourselves up' for the new season, as we already feel safe that we will be challenging for honours.
Wigan aren't fortunate enough to be in this position these days, but:
A) a with good showing in the playoffs last season.
B) the continued improvements they have made in their league position over the past three years.
and
C) excitement over new signings
I'd suggest its understandable that a proportion of the Wigan fans are getting cocky about their chances of challenging the big two this season, as misplaced as this may be.
