- Willie Isa scapegoat for the season
- Other teams fans to brand Sam Tomkins signing a failure the first time he has a quiet game

* The LLS is derided as usual but every SL coach wants to win it to prove they are the most consistent team.

* Campaign for Wane out when we don't win our friendly games

* We will be labelled thugs by Wire & Saints fans. Not sure if this will be before we play either of them but will probably be during the warm up for the Catalan game.
* Tigertit aka Kelvin Skerrett's son will find some fault indeed any fault with what we do and how we do it.
* Mugwump will tell us how it is in February then go missing unless the Entertainers are top of table. God bless you Mugwump for your balanced views and for putting me right when I thought fattie Masoe was next to useless and that he blows out of his harris after walking on the pitch.

* We win a couple of games on the trot and a thread starts on "Is this the best Wigan team this century?"
* We lose the next two matches and a new thread starts "Is this the worst Wigan team ever?" I'm on saying "What do you expect? We have got no centres therefore we are doomed to failure!"
* Sarcasm is banned from all forums

Itchy, I agree wholeheartedly with one of your points, but not necessarily all of them.

It must be the point on TT. I've bought him a bucket therefore, I expect an improvement in his ability to catch a ball
