so this is what an entertaining match of football look likes? Can just imagine pards watching this at home going "No Wigan, defend, defend, defend!!"

I'd hope so. I'd love Rafa to tbf, but I just want to see if Martinez can get the most out of the players we have here already. Our squad properly managed would be immense (understatement).

c'mon wigan! just want to hear quinn fucking squirm.

Not doubting what our glorious leader has been saying are you?

Cracking free kick. Mackem bums must be like a ducks arse right now.

Wonder if Big Mike is waiting on Wigan being relegated then swooping in spidey style for Martinez. Thinking it might be easier to get him then.

Wigan are playing some nice stuff. To think they had an important cup game 3/4 days ago and giving it this kinda effort. Makes me think of us and the Benfica/mackem games and want to hang my head in shame.

That can be attended to That's just nasty.

Rafa isn't a realistic option, very large salary, probably expects to walk straight into a CL level job or near enough and has clashed with those working above him in the club structure before Damn you with your logical post! At least let me dream. :'(

I must admit I'm struggling to understand why some folk want him to stay. There's manager leaving his club, probably after winning the europa league (to add to the numerous trophies he's won in the past), who's stated he wants to stay in england and who knows how the game should be played.... leaving aside the fact that he might want to come nowhere near our club I can't believe someone of his pedigree is on the market (no compensation to be paid) and we're not interested in at least trying to tempt him. I'm just hoping the silence form the club is because they're in discussions with Rafa's agents.

C'mon, Rafa even wore a black tie yesterday.. How much more of a 'come get me' plea does Ashley need?

Oh, and says he's only put out his first choice 11 twice this season and thinks they're a top 8 first eleven (maybe higher). I sorry so does that mean missing one or two first teamers mean we're scrapping relegation places?

just watched his interview on sky sports website. He's moaning about the ref's decision to send off Elliott?!! FFS Going on about how the linesman couldn't see it to make the decision, says he saw it from 4 camera angles and couldn't make see it for sure. It was obvious as it's obvious that he's a complete fraud!

They'll just sit there in silence I think. I'd be very surprised if people did anything in the ground - unless the result gives them an excuse. Agree. I'm tempted to give the crowd the benefit of the doubt. I have been amazed not to have heard anti-pardew chants whilst watching home matches but I think the crowd are nervous to voice their disapproval given how that's affected the performances on the pitch the past times we've done it in recent history. The only thing that might work in his favour is it's the last match of the season and some might just want to get it over with without too much fuss. If we had been safe before the sunderland and liverpool matches I'm sure the home crowd would have been more hostile.

Yeah but now they're relegated they could play with a 'freedom'. Whatever the f*** that means. Now we're safe I'm no longer consumed with worry about hating pardew and getting relegated. I'm now 100% pure hatred for the man.

Aye....like Norwich "grinded" out a result today. Just do the right thing and go.

Don't let this kunt fool you that this has just happened over the last few weeks. It's been the entire season. Stumbling in to the QF of the Europa League covered up big style for the fraud.

You're joking shirley?!!!

Thank fuck for that. Get shot of this cunt now.
