NewBlue Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) For those that haven't already seen this brilliant piece on Urban Dictionary... 1. Wigan Athletic Share on twitter Share on facebook Share on more 69 up, 34 down 1. Identity theft. 2. To wrongfully appropriate the identity of a third party. 3. Faeces. Wigan Athletic were founded in 1932 making them one of the youngest teams competing in the English Football League. Shortly after the decision was made to found a professional football team in the town of Wigan those responsible for the creation of the club began to construct an 'identity'. Unhappy with simply calling the club Wigan F.C. the founders cast their eyes to the other side of Lancashire towards Oldham Athletic, who had already been playing association football for 37 years. Liking the appendage 'Athletic', the founders duly went with it thus creating 'Wigan Athletic'. It then dawned on the mostly inbred founders that a nickname for the club was required. "Oi, woz Oldham's nickname?" they were heard to grunt. Before long the question was answered that Oldham used the then unique nickname: 'The Latics'. Having already stolen the appendage 'Athletic' the simple founders decided it was best to also call themselves 'The Latics' rather than rack their primitive brains for an alternative. Finally, what colours to play in? By this stage the founders of 'Wigan Athletic' were weary having spent weeks learning how to spell 'Athletic', stopping only to fellate their cousins. Naturally they couldn't decide and so looked once more at their proud neighbours Oldham, playing in their fantastic blue and white and opted for the same. Incredibly one of the founders, it has been documented, then heaved and spat the words, "Put a bit o' green in't kit so wi luke a bit t'original like." The exertion of such a brainstorm caused this founder to become catatonic and he later died. "Hey Mike, I've just found someone's bank statement! I'm going to absolutely Wigan Athletic them.." "Have you seen the way Jane Wigan Athletic's Bernadette's style?"

singe Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Nothing less than 7-0 defeat for Wigan will do for me. No hat tricks though, Stan should keep that, no modern day footballer should take it. Edited May 11, 2013 by singe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Heck C-Beck Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Seems I'm in the minority but I really want Wigan to win. I want them to win as well. While not my favourite club, I can't hate them as there success shows it is still possible for us to do something similar, we just need an incredibly rich fan!

jsslatic Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Everyone knows we were the real winners in the Cup this year. I expect the FA to reflect this when the entrants to the Europa League are confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Mikey Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Nothing less than 7-0 defeat for Wigan will do for me. No hat tricks though, Stan should keep that, no modern day footballer should take it. Ideally Wigwam come close and have it torn away from them in the last minute. Ripping the stuffing out of them and further demoralising them, ensuring their slide into the Championship. I will be happy when we are above them in the league again, as per most of their history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a big difference between wanting Wigan to lose, and wanting Citeh to win. As Stevie J said, the ideal result would have been both teams losing. But This was Budweiser not Carling.

I just wanted Wigan to lose more. Hopefully It'll even itself up if they go down. Any of those wanting Wigan to win, do you want Wigan to stay up too?
