Seconded.

Jesus Christ, Matty Peet has made it harder and harder to dislike Wigan despite the rivalry.

What a superb gesture and something that transcends rivalry. Well done to Radlinski for organising and Wigan as a club.

You've just got to admire Roby (even though Barrett was robbed )
Wonder if they present LMS with a Fireman Sam toy

Anyone else find the official saints twitter account constantly referring to Roby as “the greatest of all time” a bit cringe.

All the players who’ve played for their club in their history, let it settle, let fans debate in pubs, rather than it being the official stance by the club is just a bit low level for me.

A bit like throwing the Cunningham statue up straight away the sacking him a couple years later.

Let it settle, especially with Roby himself being such a humble guy he probably finds it all embarrassing.

I can’t understand this disliking of a team, I can fully understand wanting to beat them though.
