For points about team harmony, I'd think that muck raking by one or both of the parties, be it through autobiographies or puerile twitter parodies, are one of the better ways to see through the purported images of team spirit. Happened in 1959 with Laker and again with Pietersen and so too Froome... the support, or lack of denial, received from around the team suggests that there may be some truth to it, while not necessarily the definite truths.0

It appears to be a new/current thing. Doesn't seem to be a family camper, and isn't logo'd up as a corporate supplied vehicle, so wondered where/how it may be used?

Every RL fan hates the pies (unless you support them of course), but at least he goes to games, I suppose and he does live vaguely near Wigan, unlike a number of their "fans" I know who all live in Cambridgeshire.disgruntledgoat wrote:I want to hate him, because he's a glory hunting pie eater fan... but I can't help but love Wiggins.0 -

Supporting Wigan at Rugby is like supporting the house at blackjack or Darth Vader at star wars. Unless you hail from that benighted midden you're a front running glory hunter.
Yours, a born and bred Wire.
I think, to answer Rick's point, I like him so much because he seems to aspire to being a normal bloke and has achieved the loafers dream of being so good at what he does that his bosses just have to put up with whatever he throws their way."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Quite like the Catalans. We lent them our mascot and fans when they played Wigan at our place in the Challenge cup semi a few years ago."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"
