Other than highlights, I haven't seen us play at all this season so I'll not make any comment on performances, tactics and all that jazz or comment on other people's views of them. What I will say though is that after keeping us up with the resources he had & then getting us promoted after...

You only have to put in a 7 day approach if a player isn't on a contract. Most players from Northern Premier League & upwards are on a contract so I find it odd that a club in the Conference North didn't have him on one even if he had only just been promoted from the U23's In all honesty the 7...

I guess a lot of how people interpret the data out there depends on their standpoint on whether a hereditary monarchy really should exist in this day & age. Similarly with the oft quoted "they bring in tourism figures" - I went to Paris in August & the lack of being able to spot Marie...

Charles has very kindly offered to pay income tax on some of his income but not on what I or many others would see as all his income. Charles didn't, unlike how the rest of us would have to, pay any inheritance tax on the vast wealth that he inherited when his mother died. Nor will he ever have...

I think he's explained pretty well why he won't wear a poppy - I don't get why some people are mortally offended if someone chooses not wear one. The same reasons he gave for that are applicable as to why he'd wear the Easter Lily

He's also, on numerous occasions including in his latest instagram statement, acknowledged it was a stupid/poorly judged wind up attempt

Uwe Rosler was useless so I'm not sure I'd have disagreed with McClean - I also know from comments by other players that Rosler made enough enemies within the playing squad himself without McClean having to play any part in turning them against him. I wanted Rosler out to & it had nothing...

I've no doubt that she was, but no-one can deny that she promised to use Parliamentary Privilege to unveil everything that want on with how we went in to administration, the original preferred bidders & the conduct of the administrators. Nearly 2 years later, she's said absolutely doodley squat...

His attitude towards playing for Wigan Athletic has been unquestionable during both his periods with us

Coincidentally, I've just had an email from the FA in my role as club secretary telling me how to deal with abuse & discrimination. Maybe they should practice what they preach

You make a fair point, about players Jewell "discovered" but I'm not sure on the wages part. True we'd have had to offer decent packages to tempt some of these players to choose us, but from what I remember, the basic wages were relatively low/normal & they were heavily loaded in terms of...

Chris Wilder's been given the push at Middlesbrough

I agree completely to be honest - just saying that the rule has always been there. IMO it should be a retake if the defender encroaches & an indirect free kick if the attacker encroaches

It might seem odd but that's what it is & always has been - I remember getting taught it as a kid when I first started playing football

Taking care to conveniently miss out the not so bits about our country's achievements & history

That's not VAR's fault though - that's always been in the laws. VAR just spotted it & as well as giving them another chance to score it gave them another chance to miss. Which they did

Someone asked how long the Huddersfield manager had. The answer - not long https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62901280

I would hope that they would as they did the first time he was with us & didn't wear the poppy - I just feel he was responding to being brought up personally by posters on that thread so I don't think it was stepping out of line Personally I'd prefer him to stay in the tunnel if he's planning on...

He's responding to a journalist saying he doesn't think wearing a poppy is the same, or signifies the same, as wearing a black armband in commemoration of the Queen passing in response to another poster naming McClean. All McClean is saying to the journalist is unless you've experienced what he...

I get in general what you mean but he has done & said nothing controversial in either of his periods with Latics to drag the club's name down - quite the opposite in fact IMO
