Why does Martinez still have a job?

Why does the Chairman not invest some money or something? Why are they like this every year?

 

[WJD]

Wigan probably playing better to be honest. They just have no penetration.

 

[Wes]

Wigan are playing pretty well all things considered.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Why does Martinez still have a job?

Are you fucking serious?

 

[Manager]

Why does Martinez still have a job?

Because of this:
http://www.transfermarkt.de/de/wigan-athletic/transfers-alle/verein_1071.html

And still in PL.

 

[Freewheelin']

Is Miyachi on the bench?

 

[Pachimari]

Is Oscar on the bench?

 

[Kyoufu]

Are you fucking serious?

Overrated.

Whelan says he'll be allowed to go to a big European club but... that's never going to happen, is it.

 

[Sloosha]

Is Oscar on the bench?

Yes.

 

[qindarka]

Is Oscar on the bench?

Yes.

 

[Error]

man I can't help but think japanese physical education school uniform when I see RM's new kit.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Is Oscar on the bench?

Yes,

Overrated.

Whelan says he'll be allowed to go to a big European club but... that's never going to happen, is it.

Far from overrated when there apparently is people thinking he shouldn't have his job. A lot of bad things can be said about Wigan, Martinez is not one of them.

 

[Willkiller]

Is Oscar on the bench?

Yes

 

[bud]

Is Miyachi on the bench?

nope. they could've used a tricky winger in this match, eventually.

 

[Carbonox]

Is Oscar on the bench?

Yes.

 

[bud]

Is Oscar on the bench?

no.

 

[Kyoufu]

Lol that was clearly out of the box.

 

[Sloosha]

Ball looked like it was controlling Torres there.

 

[bud]

i commend martinez for playing in such an attacking formation, but 4-3-3 would make more sense, especially since they're so vulnerable on the break.

i think they're playing pretty well, actually.

 

[Willkiller]

There's still obvious weaknesses in Chelsea's defence but damn, their midfield is scary now.

 

[Freewheelin']

Terry is fucked :lol

 

[Choc]

i fear my this is torres year prediction might be wrong


argh he is in my ff

 

[Yurt]

Is Oscar on the bench?

No.

Edit: Yes.

 

[Alduin]

Imagine how the people who actually have to talk to Ken Bates feel.

Yeah, must be really frustrating.

Are you surprised? He's destroyed so many potential deals before. It's all about holding out the longest for money.

He's not stupid, Leeds has one of the best economies in the Championship after what he did during and after the administration ("fn' over" the debt holders). He knows he can hold out another year, he spends half his time in Monaco anyway so it's almost like vacation. Other people doing his work for him.

Not really, of course. Bates is surely a tough guy to negotiate with. I guess he really 'need' a high amount of money.

Yeah exactly. The Square Ball have done some sterling work in finding out the actual situation.

We've got images of the guy from the ground incidentally, and word is it's an Al-Thani. Bought and wore a Leeds scarf. Family worth $85bn if it is him.

I imagine Bates dislikes the 'Bates Out' chants as it makes it more difficult for him to fleece him.

I was really excited when I read about how much the family was worth.

Chelsea fans sang WACCOE just now. Cheeky.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Lol that was clearly out of the box.

Not actually sure but it's where the keeper is that counts, right? Cech was clearly inside the box at least.

most of the match is taking place on chelsea's half.

All those quick counters.

Oh, I thought the ball's position is what mattered.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Oh, I thought the ball's position is what mattered.

Well I am not sure at all. Just always thought that as it's pretty impossible for linesmen to judge anyway when the ball is in the air like that.

Edit : Wigan has gone over to just tackling Hazard as quickly as they can.

 

[Manager]

Isn't it where the ball is?

otherwise you could just lie down and reach 1.5m out.

 

[GorillaJu]

Hazard is getting hacked to pieces.

 

[Salvadora]

Hazard has been fouled almost every time he has the ball it seems.

 

[qindarka]

I am getting annoyed with Cech.

Not sure, I don't think so. You surely couldn't lie down inside the box and slap the ball away as it rolled past the outside of the box.

Edit: Damn you and your edits Manager!

 

[Manager]

Hazard has been fouled almost every time he has the ball it seems.

It's the David Silva treatment... he must get used to it.

 

[Choc]

every year wigan has a completely shithouse first 6 months, every year they survive

its going to happen again

 

[Broder Salsa]

Not sure, I don't think so. You surely couldn't lie down inside the box and slap the ball away as it rolled past the outside of the box.

Yeah that makes sense. But it just seems impossible for the refs to really judge when it's in the air and around the box.

Hazard has been fouled almost every time he has the ball it seems.

Imagine against Stoke. D:

 

[feel]

Great to have club football back!

No, it's the ball position that counts, like in every other ball+line situation in football.

 

[Freewheelin']

Luiz is an entertaining defender :lol

 

[Salvadora]

Can't believe no Wigan players have been booked.

 

[dalVlatko]

bs yellow for luiz

 

[offshore]

There's still obvious weaknesses in Chelsea's defence but damn, their midfield is scary now.

Tiote's gonna have his hands full next week lol.

 

[bud]

wigan deserve a goal.

 

[confuziz]

Can't believe no Wigan players have been booked.

Caldwell has been booked

 

[MaritalWheat]

Chelsea have really let off, you'd think last season made it clear every goal counts now.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Can't believe no Wigan players have been booked.

There has been one. Can't remember who it was though.

Edit : ah Caldwell

 

[Choc]

Can't believe no Wigan players have been booked.

not right. captain has been booked

if i was Di Matteo i'd pull Hazard at HT to protect him

 

[Willkiller]

Tiote's gonna have his hands full next week lol.

He'll love it, bossing strong midfields makes him feel even more powerful!

 

[3Sixty]

Best moment of the game was when Caldwell absolutely crunched Hazard.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Why does Martinez still have a job?

Why does the Chairman not invest some money or something? Why are they like this every year?

Because He'as a good manager for the last quarter of the season

Just ignore the rest of it

 

[qindarka]

wigan deserve a goal.

No, they don't. They haven't created a clear cut chance.
