A very good point at a side who were top on Saturday.Great character to nick a point late on after being a goal down up there.Hopefully we can get a result at Bury who are struggling.

This is the one where as long as we don't go in doing an Arsenal against Ostersunds and thinking it is a cakewalk puts us in the safe seat, with 11 games to go after this were home and dry,and with 36 points on the board still available I think we would need about 24/27 of them to get us in the playoff picture, not impossible the way The Space Telescope has got them playing, and wasn't it Wigan we played at wibbly wobbly Wembley , back in 2000 ??
I think with games in hand Wigan will go up in an automatic spot, but it's fun to dream or in some cases for those that were there to reminisce.
Don't worry Mr. L, it was a long time ago, and I know your like me, having trouble remembering what you had for dinner last night, lol, BUT TRUST ME, I looked it up and we won 3-2.

I remember; I was there! The final whistle went, I was leaping about, (I still could then); I turned around looking for Mrs L and she was hugging and kissing a complete stranger! Needless to say, she’s never been to a game since but I think the guy she assaulted is out of therapy now.

And Gillsfan has clearly never forgotten it!

Oh, that’s why he emigrated! It was him all along! I’ll have to tell my wife.

Hello UK, this is the US calling , hope your snow is easing up and spring is just around the corner , God do I hope Spring is just around the corner and a certain person can finally get out of the house with his bat and ball. Emigrated my ass, I live in your basement ,do you honestly think that woman really needs to do laundry 3 times a day , EVERYDAY,and take a plate of food with her , lol ? This is the US signing off, over and out.

Blimey, I didn’t even know I had a basement! If you’ve been eating Mrs L’s food it’s no wonder you’re cranky! Have you tried her stewed banana and tripe pudding? Yuk! By the way, the woolly hat you sent me last year has been doing Stirling Service this week; so much so that my son stole it this morning to wear to work!

Hahaha, oh hell , I think I might be living in the wrong house, your at number 37 right, and Iave just realized I am at number 39, no wonder this woman looks at me strangly everytime I call her Mrs. L. and offer to comb her legs and arms. OH GORD my mistake, oh well any chance you could dig out a basenment by next winter, lol ??
Glad the hat is coming in useful , going to be a sunny 50+ degrees this weekend here in your next door neighbors basement, sorry in Chicago, lol.
