It's the same at every other club in your league I am sure. If you go down to aus and ask who the biggest club are they will say Wigan. Go to france and ask there, they will say Wigan. Ask the general public on this country and most will say Wigan. There are Wigan supporters all over the place. We are still the Man U or Real Madrid of the game but we have a naff team.

It is this attitude that is holding you back...You have to accept the game has moved on, and actually do something about it, instead of believing you have a God-given right to be the best.

Yes, you are a famous name, but it is all about your past ...You have all these splendid facts about your great history, and I certainly acknowledge its a great history, but unfortunately for you, the others caught up and overtook you.

Personally, I have great affection for Wigan...Growing up in the 70's as a Wire fan, I used to love the whole rivalry of the Wire-Wigan games and it actually saddens me when I see childish arguments break out on here among fans, because I seem to have this rose-tinted view that our rivalry was once almost respectful....

Of course, I always want to see Wire beat Wigan, but I would never describe you as a laughing stock....I just think some of you need to realise that the RL world doesn't start and finish in Wigan.

I did not mention in my post that we have the right to be the best. I just said we have a naff team, we are still the biggest name in rugby league we just have a poor team of mostly average players. It is not all about our past either we have finished 3rd for the last 2 seasons which is better than most teams. I was not here to see most of our success so I don't know why all the wire fans think I am hung up on it.

Does anybody like me keep visiting the official site to see if Noble has been sacked or is it just hopeful thinking.

Have we become a laughing stock?

I don't think we have. I think it was a predictable scoreline from Wigan. I don't know why anyone was suprised. Take Hock, Lockers and Carmont out that 'team' and anyone who has watched Wigan this season will realise how much we would struggle.

The only part of this whole scenario I am embarrassed about is that Brian Noble is STILL in a job.
