Not wanting to open up a can of worms (and pardon my ignorance if I have got the wrong end of the stick) but isn't Wigan in greater manchester?

Yep!

2 CITYS


1 SALFORD
2 MANCHESTER

ENOUGH SAID

Sorry my mistake thought Wigan was lancs!

Still Salford is the createst club in the manchester area!



Anyway sorry for distracting the descussion. No one wants to get confused. Salford is Salford...... a great city just next to manchester (and far batter than manchester. End of.

Rite back to the origonal descussion.......... Fridays game!

To the SUN anywhere north of Birmingham is Manchester, as an aside the SUN's print age is 6 yearsi.e. language used is the same as a 6 year old would be expected to read.

Just been looking at the Bradford board and they dont seem to be in a very happy place at the moment, teams not performing, fans a bit down looking back at bull mania and all that jazz. not much positivity there.

We on the other hand are moving foward, full of confidence in the way we are playing, the coaching staff have built a squad who are beginning to make an impression at superleague level, on the terraces we are happy as long as the players keep giving the same standard of performance expected at superleague level.

I just hope the players dont freeze in this situation because its bradford and their part of the "big 4", bradford imo are on the slide both on and off the field they are not the side they once were they havnt replaced quality with quality over the years.

Its a team full of old men, nearly men and plodders now, mcnamara doesnt seem to have any magic to raise them back to the next level.

Us on the other hand have youth, experience and most importanly Hunger to go to the next level, with a wiley of fox Mcrae in charge we are comming along quite nicely thankyou, winning your home games are an important aspect when succeding in this division winning on friday will keep us moving forward, remember success is a journey not a destination, winning friday will keep us moving forward.

Thats a very polite way of putting it, cheers. We're not on the slide, we've already slid to the bottom from our perspective. Any talk of "big 4" etc is now rubbish as far as the Bulls are concerned IMO.

I reckon you'll beat us tonight as there are some deep rooted problems with the Bulls at the moment, and if you do beat us you'll deserve to go above us in the league. Im coming over as I've always enjoyed a trip to the willows, I just hope its a good game and if you do win, as I suspect, that its because you played better than us on the night and not because we self destruct as we so often do these days.

Either way, my main point is that giving you a +6 start is a licence to print money IMHO, I can't bring myself to bet against the Bulls but you guys would be foolish not to take them up on that - if we do sneak it I doubt it will be by 6 points or more. (i really really hope Im wrong BTW ) The only hope Im clinging to is that the team have been stung by the critisim this week and go out to make a point (i've felt all year that one week we're going to rack up a serious amount of points against someone when it all clicks.... but each week it doesnt click...)

cheers, have a good game tonight.

Bradford are well beatable. We've beat them at the willows before we can do it again. There should be no need to fear them at the willows. We have a good young talented squad who are starting to gel nicely. If they can keep up the momentum and play as they did on sunday then I see no reason why we can't win this against a very pee'd off Bulls team. A team who i am sure will be coming here to get a result and make up for their result last weekend. This could be a real cracker of a game. Maybe the tie of the weekend.
