Absolutely hilarious reading!







Clear proof that the knuckle-draggers are utterly and completely obsessed with all things WRLFC.



Can you imagine any other supposedly Premier League standard team's supporters being so wrapped-up in bitterness towards a club not even playing the same sport?

Its a bit sad and pathetic really [size=75(still funny though!).[/size

I dont think thats even relevant to be honest.

Personally, i just dont like football, and wouldnt go to watch the Statics if you paid me in, bought drinks all day, and presented me with a signed shirt at the end of it!



I dont dislike the towns football team - I just have no interest at all in what happens to them.

Its really only the ridiculous attitude towards WRLFC, by some of the football fans that brings WAFC into my thoughts in any way, shape, or form.

Talk about spitting the dummy out. Some highlights for those who cba reading the thread:



1. Having 40% of our fans from outside the town is a bad thing apparantly.

2. If CP was redeveloped for both teams no 'tics fans would go.

3. To them, having a stand named after Billy B is the same as calling a stand at Anfield the Dixie Dean Stand.

4. One of them is pleased as a kid in sweet shop to be sat in the West Stand on a blue seat



FFS

Christ on a bike, they're thick

What does make me laugh is the thought of some Latics fan sitting in a seat that was occupied by Fat Harry the night before.

I love how they refer to Jason Roberts as a Latics "LEGEND" ha ha ha ha



just shows how small time they are

Yes, but if only 60% of our fanbase is from Wigan and 80% of Latics' is from Wigan then is Wigan a rugby or football town?



Both sides get around the same amount of HOME fans every week. Wigan is a SPORTING town. Simple as that.

Well what defines a legend? Scoring the goals to take you to the PL? Scoring the goals to keep you there? Scoring the goals to take you to your first major cup final (including a last minute winner in the semi)?



JR ticks all them boxes. Like most players though he moved to a 'bigger' club who then finished below us in the league.

A legend is someone who consistently serves a club for the majority of their career who bleeds the colour of the club, not someone who wins you a few matches over 2 years, would you consider Barrett a Wigan 'Legend' Lyon a Saints 'Legend' legends are players like Kris Radlinski, Shaun Edwards and Billy Boston. Wigan Athletic have no players past or present of this type. Hence the 'Springfield Park Stand'

We do. Just not modern day.



This is the online definition of a legend:



a nonhistorical or unverifiable story handed down by tradition from earlier times and popularly accepted as historical.

2. the body of stories of this kind, esp. as they relate to a particular people, group, or clan: the winning of the West in American legend.

3. an inscription, esp. on a coat of arms, on a monument, under a picture, or the like.

4. a table on a map, chart, or the like, listing and explaining the symbols used. Compare key 1 (def.

.

5. Numismatics. inscription (def.

.

[i6. a collection of stories about an admirable person.

7. a person who is the of such stories: She became a legend in her own lifetime.[/i

8. Archaic. a story of the life of a saint, esp. one stressing the miraculous or unrecorded deeds of the saint.

9. Obsolete. a collection of such stories or stories like them.



Due to the points I made I would say JR could be classed as a Latics legend.

Just ignore them. In a few years when they drop back down through the divisions, Cockney Lactic will become a thing of the past, much like Pooles pie shops and Safeway supermarket.

Cockney Latic has been going online for 10 years.
