How dare Phil Clarke take exception to people shouting personal abuse at him. Not as if he was outside walking the streets. He should accept foul abusive language from a cross section of dim witted boozed up fans in good humour. Perhaps congratulate them in their continued unoriginal rhetoric and sycronised head gestures.

After all, if they didn't get a reaction what would have been the point, could have used that hand for another 2 pint of lager.

I don't think he did anything wrong. I got the impression he was saying "you come here and do better" nothing in it for me.

Yea i ain't abusive

It was someone stood a few rows in front of me, but not sure exactly who and what was said that got Clarke so annoyed. Phil Clarke has walked past the fans before he did it a few weeks ago. I think he is used to and and prob enjoys a bit of banter but don't agree that people who don't even know the guy need to go over the top and personally abuse the him. Some people just go to far and think its acceptable.

His reaction was all wrong imo but there wasn't any need to give the abuse he got from the South Stand. Some of the folk in there make you shudder sometimes. We don't agree with some of his comments about us and his distinct lack of any due praise but so what? He's entitled to his opinion (however one eyed) and we should complain to Sky if we're not happy, I did.

So it's ok for Mathers to give it back to some guy abusing him on Twitter but it's not OK for Phil Clarke to give some back when he's getting it from the south stand?

Come on. The south stand didn't seek him out or attack him personally. He walked over, got a few boos etc. I know i shouted a few "who are you" chants as well as booed. He took it all wrong and showed just how pathetic he really is.

I respect Richie for standing his ground when a FAN (supposedly) goes to lengths to insult and try to get under his skin. Phil Clarke just seemed like a big baby and the way he bottled it quickly a little bit of a poser.

My two pence.

To be honest, if a multi millionaire did buy us out and go spend-crazy, like City (and Chelsea before), then it would probably finally kill off any little interest I have remaining in the game of football....I fell out of love with the sport a long time ago and only my children's interest in the sport has kept what interest going that I do have.

I just find the whole foreign owenership thing so immoral and as done absolutely nothing for the English game....Just witness the recent World Cup debacle, which all stemmed from the Premier League big guns strangling the life out of the English national team.

As for City, I see little joy for their true long-time fans, in watching some bloke with little interest in your club, buy his way in, and then proceed to fill your side with players who similarly have little interest in your club....Modern football just seems to be over-rated coaches playing a glorified version of Football Manager in the most corrupt way possible...

Manure have been spending mega money for years,and no one has a dig at them.Chelsea bought in players no on said anything.Man city get bought out and spend massive amounts and all of a sudden Man city are the root of all the problems in the Premier league.Why do you see little joy for us,we have waited long enough for are moment in the spotlight and now its here i for one is going to enjoy it. Has the Chairman said to you he has no intrest in the club he has just bought,and cleared the debt.No i thought not so how can you make a statement like you did.If am honest it just sounds like sour grapes on your part.

Utd's money came in from being successful on and off the field not by someone coming in with a big cheque book, i think that's why people don't criticise them for it,it was all done legitimately through football and not outside influences.

Football chat on rl fans alert.....

To become successful they had to spend money.Angry Pirate said something along the lines of he would stop supporting his football team.If they had a rich owner who bought all the top players.Isnt that Moran is doing at Wire?

Clarke is a weapon...we all know that anyway...that said, there are a few weapons in the South Stand to..

Not sour grapes at all....Why should it be? An Everton side, built with care, attention and little cash, wiped the floor twice with City last season and will probably do so again this...



As for your chairman??....Do you seriously believe he, David Silva, Tevez and all your other big signings, would have seriously heard of Man City if it wasn't for your bigger neighbours??

In the eyes of true football fans, you have sold your soul to the devil that is corrupt Middle Eastern money...Destroying any integrity your club had built up for over 100 years.

As for comparing Mr Moran's effect at Wire to Man City is also a joke....Moran undoubtedly has his roots in our town and our club, so why shouldn't he be keen to want to see a successful side???....City's owner is merely a spoilt child playing with a very expensive toy in the most corrupt playground in world business.

Who is going to volunteer to text Boots n All on Wednesday?

MichealJones86 ?

Me.

rogues you are really begining to pee me off, you have got such a warped view of reality it makes me barf!

in your world no pieman is ever wrong, every other fan cannot slag the pie off and if they do you'll back up your arguement with some random piece of poo that has no real relevance to the current discussion. clarke gets abuse wherever he goes, he deserves it most of the time, but his immediate thoughts would not have been..."i better swear at these fans because i got pushed over (add your figure) years ago!"

prove to me that clarke got pushed over, facts not "i was told" or "my mate witnessed it" hard facts please. in print if you can.

i'm sure it must have happened just after you chucked your lunch box on the pitch!


people like you just reinforce my dislike for wigan warrior fans in general, true i've met nice ones but not many......

now that probably makes me scum, because i refuse to bow to your superior pie powers and slag your fans off... well so be it!

god i hope we make the grand final against wigan..1. we can beat you
2. i would love to picture the look on your face when we do!

Come on we know all Warrington fans are scum, must be true as someone from Wigan said so.

Rogues is Phil Clarke in disguise, biased toward Wigan.

Great site lads

Thanks,we do try are best.

Ta bud.

c'mon pemps, you have to admit he puts himself on here to be shot down, he makes statements which he cannot back up (i still await proof of the clarke incident) and generally gets under peoples skin. he enjoys it i'm sure!

You talking about Clarke?
