No issues with that, done it myself on occasion.

But don’t get me wrong I’m a Wigan fan through and through but like Cruncher says the way some players are made scapegoats of and the hatred and complete lack of time shown to them by some sections of our fans makes you support them even more. As weird as it may sound Pryce doing that against us for Saints may shut them up which can’t be a bad thing.

Wigan is no exception from most big clubs, in that it has a vocal minority of idiots who have expectations based on past glories rather than the reality on the field. They are fans, but they decide to articulate their frustrations in a negative manner towards underperforming players rather than getting behind the team and players when struggling. As previously stated, I was disgusted with the conduct of some yesterday. Nevertheless, their views do not have the importance to justify wanting a rival team to have success over our club just to prove a point. In a sense you are just offering validity to their opinions, rather than treating them with the contempt that they deserve.

I honestly think Pryce has all the attributes to be a world class player-The size of the guy mixed with his pace as well as his handling skills means he can be a major forced to be reckoned with.'"
Fair play, I hope you are right - but I'd rather keep my expectations low and allow him the opportunity to exceed them in time - building him up to be something he isn't at this stage is just fueling the fire for the boo boys.
