Outsiders View - My Prediction for CFC

2012-08-18T18:47:07Z

I'm going to make this a short but sweet bit about what I expect for tomorrow. Because Chelsea is the "it" team for people who don't know anything about the sport. (Yeah I have issues with them, I've said it on radio more than once), so the footy stupid people will be tuning into them watching the match, and hoping that "Their" teams" And with how much Roberto is loved over in the States (where I see most of the CFC fans) it might be a good way to acquire more fans.

So my prediction? 2-1 with Victor Moses getting both.

Outsiders View - Fan Shot Version on Roberto Part Deux

2012-06-16T13:12:14Z

I have a feeling this is going to be something I'm going to have to write a lot. Roberto being mentioned to another club. While I'm not a Spurs fan, I have many friends/co-workers who are Spurs fans. And I don't understand that. If you want to be a big club fan, why them? Why not Liverpool? Ah I digress.After the jump, I'll put my spin on Spurs and Roberto again.

Ok, so we spent the good part of two weeks thinking that Roberto was going to Liverpool, and then he didn't. It also looked like he was staying at Wigan, right? Well, then fine, Daniel Levy had to go and fire the next England Manager. Oh and how did that go? Well, Harry is unemployed. Maybe he's just waiting to be on MOTD. But once again I digress.

Do I want to trot out the same words from the last post about Roberto leaving? Probably not, because it's all up, but with the clubs being of the same ilk, I can say this, that Roberto's style of play would be great at another club with great talent and more money. But I said the same thing with Liverpool.

What needs to be done is Roberto needs to come out and say he's a Wiganer for life. That would end all the speculation for at leas this season. I don't blame the media for bantering his name around at all. He's a wonderful talent, and a wonderful person who could be a great manager with lots of money. I just shutter sometimes to think what would he be like at Barca. I don't blame him if he wants to look at Spurs or anyone big, if you want to succeed at life you have to try to improve your station in life. It's just sad that it has to happen each week, or month with Wigan.

That just shows how much he has improved the club.

The clubs official end of season awards were on Wednesday night. And I should have put the results up before then, but anyway.

In the end the Fan's player of the season award went to Captain Marvelous Gary Caldwell who deserved the award for his second half of the season as he drove the team onto survival.

Other notable awards, saw Maynor Figueroa scoop the players player of the year. Something he has deserve for a good few years. Our Honduras left back has been a great club servant and continues to be in his new central role.

Emmerson Boyce won the outsanding achievement award for surpassing Paul Scharner's Premier League appearance record for the club. Our second longest surving player is one who doesn't shine in the lime light much, but is a player you want on your team.

Shaun Maloney was rewarded for his fantastic goal against Manchester United getting the goal of the season. That game was also given performance of the year, being the first time the club had ever taken points of United.

Tim Chow took the Young Player of the Year prize, while Youth Team player Ryan Meadows won the respected Micheal Millett award.

Fan Brian Sabin received the Fan of the Year Award for continual loyal support of the club.

While Neill Rimmer, Matt Jackson, Gary Sloane and Kenny Williams won the community award for their cycle ride from Wigan to Norwich in aid of the Emma Hoolin appeal.

Congratulations to all, they were very much deserved!
