Usually would have changed his name and contacted the user by email but it wouldn't let me for some reason, couldn't even delete the post so had to delete him.

If you happen to be reading Wiganwalk, this is a family site and your username was highly inappropriate.

Last week against Bradford was just a blip IMO . The team have been great all season so far , Bradford 1st half included and dont forget we could have scored 3 tries in the second half but just fell short .MM may have had to kick some bums for the first time last Friday and i am looking forward to see the reaction and the first 20 minutes against a good Hull FC team this Friday .

It really annoys me when I see someone say this. It gets trotted out every now and again when people complain about the teams performance when in fact NO ONE thinks Wigan is the team of the 90's. It's just patronising nonsense IMO.

People are judging the team now against their contemporaries in the league as it as now and are not as you imply constantly harking back to great teams from the past.
Taking into account the change in style, rules and fitness rugby league has had during the last 10+ years.
However this mishap has happened at the beginning of the season so Wigan has time to improve on their performance and correct their mistakes.
Therefore I am 100% certain if us Wigan fans spent less time criticising the team and more time following and cheering them on I have no doubt it will bring Wigan back to the once great Grand Slam Glory winning team of 94/95
Part of the fun of being a fan is discussing the losses as well as the wins. The above is just a re-hash of the "happy clapper" never criticise the team posts we had many of last year. They lost, they screwed up in several areas and discussing why is not some heinous crime showing any lack of support.
