Is it me, or does Phil Clarke like it when Wigan are suffering?

The Cliff Richard of Rugby League can't resist having a dig at Wigan when things aren't going well. I don't know if it is to try and convince his masters at sky that he is impartial; or if he truly enjoys it when Wigan are in trouble.
In his regular "article" for the sky sports website; he takes yet another cheap shot at Wigan - under the guise of humour:

Phil Clarke hilariously said:
It provided them (the fans) with the chance for a big day out at an event closer to the Challenge Cup final or Grand Final than your average Super League game - and it might well be the closest Wigan get to such an occasion this year (only kidding!)
Nothing like rubbing it in, is there Phil?

Nowt wrong with his statements, it's true.
Phil Clarke even got bored of winning everything at Wigan and went so far as going to the RFL chairman to discuss it (Uncle Mo at the time)

I think that Clarks mum & dad go to watch most of Wigans games,i dont think he is having a pop at us.What in his statment has he said that any of us fans are not thinking.And im not that keen on him myself.
