They'd be delighted to sell on a player to a MU/Citeh/Chelsea every year as long as it didn't effect their stay in the PL. Why would any Wigan fan think that a French player would want to stay at Wigan when there are obviously bigger and better clubs for them to aim for?

I can't believe Utd are joint top of the league...

I can't believe how quickly 2nd place becomes joint top when United are 2nd.

Speaking to Latics fans they say that the lad gives his all on the field. He may well think Latics are just a stepping stone, but I think that's something he should keep to himself.

Joint top on points, second on goal difference.

If you win 7-0 at the weekend, we win 1-0, you'll be top on goals scored. This joint top 5hite will quickly disappear and you'll be first and we'll be second.

Re: The Football Chat Thread : Mon Nov 22, 2010 2:34 pm  

how can you say you cant believe your 2nd when you played so badly?? All the current top 4 have played badly upto this year if you saying that. We all dropped points were we shouldnt thinks its a testemant too the other teams in the league who have improved. There are no easy games now in the premiership. Think its going to be tight all the way through think all the current top 4 will be tight all the way too the last day and i think it may come down to the last week with any 3 of the teams going for the title. Also with Spurs playing some good football and Liverpool starting too pick points up and Bolton if they can keep it going its building up too be a very good season. Cibaman what you think about Jo yesterday?? was arguing with me mate he said he didnt do anything, i agree indivdually he wasnt outstanding but thats the best football we played all year with him involved he showed some nice touches and kept the ball moving id carry on with him ahead of Ballotelli this week coming

I can say it as we have been poor so to still be unbeaten and joint top is a real surprise, I would have expected to be 5/6 points adrift at this stage.

For me it will still be joint top, not interested in scoring petty points on here.

Re: The Football Chat Thread : Mon Nov 22, 2010 6:52 pm  

There is no such thing as joint top.

Chelsea are top. The league table doesnt lie. If the league ended now, united would finish second, not joint top. Its laughable.

It's a year when the league is there for the taking that is for sure. That's what has made our negative stance on football (excpeting yesterday) so annoying. With just a bit more 'go for it' we could have been top now. That said, I'm sure fans of all the other clubs in the top four are saying the same because none of the top four have been exactly inspiring this year and that's what makes it an interesting race.

I do think United fans do a great job in talking themselves down though. You haven't lost for what, 27 games or something. Not bad is it? Might even be a club record for all I know.
