I would like to take this opportunity to offer my congratulations to Wigan Athletic, it may have been a poor season but how they have come good in the last few weeks fills my of pride in our town. Im a huge fan of both our premier sports clubs and just wish that we could both get along!

Yep A big thankyou to all the millionaire South Americans, Africans and Cockneys for keeping my hometown football team in the Premiership. I'll see you all in't King Billy for a pint... Or will I??? ALthough its another summer with long sleeve shirts for those red devil/liver bird tattoo clad chameleons in the town!!
When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club. We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens. Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before. Shaun Wane 8/10/09

20th: Wigan The Latics don't have any fans, yet alone any famous ones.
I was very pleased Latics stayed up and really can''t understand why people get so angry and occasionally rather pathetic about it. It definatley works both ways. I do have a massaive issue with Whelan (since the play off game with Bradford, good friday game etc) but not for latics and certainly not for the majority of their fans

When you say majority of their fans do you mean the real fans ie 1500 that watched in the dark days? If so im with you, Or the thousands or cretins that woke up on 9th May 2005 and if by magic turned from a Utd/scouse fans into a 'true blue 25 year supporting five knuckle shuffler' then I dissagree completely........

I dont even mind glory hunters, what I can't abide is chameleon like tendencies of thousands of Latics fans that now forget their past allegencies to Utd/scouse teams...

He does have a point. I know of at least two people with past allegencies to MUFC, one of which has since switched back to them.
*You know these two people as well Tracie.
Edit - just thought of someone else (ex LFC), you will know him too.
