@PKendrickWIG @TheAdrianDurham Agree, feels like a missed opportunity tbh which might seem odd when we have been at the bottom end for so long. GC has showed what can be done with even a workmanlike team. League One isnt about rocket science, Lincoln have shown that and well done to them.

@TheAdrianDurham Been the poorest League One season I can remember in terms of quality. A few teams will stay up only because there are four even worse sides. Hopefully next season is much better...

Posh & Burton 2 atrocious sides, a draw about right. Posh have no on pitch leadership at all Taking Lisbie off when we needed a goal was baffling - not what I'm paying to see. Luke Williams' programme notes said the aim is to end the season strongly. No, the aim is to stay up.

@OUFC4EVER @AbramLatic @wafcleo You are right of course, the intervening 40 + years has dimmed my memory. I seem to recall George Lawrence scored that day…… a good player

@gstwitr @AbramLatic @wafcleo To be exact, Maxwell wanted to merge us with Reading, build a new stadium at Didcot and rename the club Thames Valley Royals

Wonder if any tics fans are going to turn up to Port Vale on Saturday forgetting that it’s being played on a Sunday instead 🤣 #wafc

@AbramLatic @wafcleo Just checked…… On 23 April 1983, Oxford United's match against Wigan Athletic at the Manor Ground was delayed by 30 to 33 minutes due to a mass pitch invasion by supporters

@AbramLatic @wafcleo I went to see Latics away at Oxford United in the 80s but went to Oxford City ground instead. Got to correct ground over 30 mins late to find game hadnt started as home fans were protesting about Maxwell plans to rename them Thames Royals 🤣 We still lost 💙

@laticjack @DonnellyWAFC I was only helping to clarify that there were no signs of any unusual activity in the Lounge. The reason for mentioning that our MD was tied up all afternoon with a youngster shadowing her, is that its unlikely that would have been happening with a special guest in the room. 💙

@gstwitr @DonnellyWAFC Firstly I didn’t say ‘extra security’ ! Secondly the table I was on is usually in the Chairman’s lounge as he’s a major sponsor and we was asked to move to accommodate specials guests thirdly wtf has your last part got to do with anything ? Dunno why I fucking said out tbh !

Was in corporate yesterday and heard the chairman’s lounge was off limits (with security) due to “VIP guests” (potential buyers ?) Brenda Spencer came to our table and said she can’t say much but it’s close. Heard rumours Carragher is involved somewhere #wafc

@claudelittner That makes no sense to me. What other criteria would be better? The Business Plans this year are in the main woeful, representative of the potential of the candidates.

No, they are not reviewed as part of the selection process.

@claudelittner surely the Business Plans have been reviewed as part of the original selection process? If so, how could many of those final 5 have made the series at all?

@RealMattLucas The best way of getting up to date is eavesdropping. Its an art form in Corrie nowadays. Characters hear of plots and key info from 200 yards away or just happen to be coming round the corner. Preposterous.

@I_am_KenBarlow Cant take this “show” seriously, maybe it was never meant to be taken seriously ? Not a chance that those so called Business Plans arent already scrutinised. One of the finalists aged 21 just has a 7 page idea, and in a very crowded low margin market too.

@PKendrickWIG Top player Michael Jacobs, didnt always get the recognition he deserved. Agree with GC, always good to watch.

@imacelebrity is a top show with great anchors in @antanddec. But who has cast Gemma Collins 🤷‍♂️ 😤 What a waste of money. A good reason to turn off early.

Might be unpopular but a shout out to Will Aimson. 37 starts this season, really important given no Kerr and Carragher for large parts of season and more recently Fox. He has bottle and character given the pelters he has had. MOM on Thurs, important goal today 👏💙 @PKendrickWIG

Is it an unpopular #Corrie opinion to admit that I actually really like Ben and Maggie? She kinda fascinates and terrifies me and Ben feels like decent, solid 'every man' type character. Glad the truth is finally out now!

@ThomasR14336083 Yep, poor continuity. Just sloppy production and writing as is now the norm. Can the irish landlady overact any more than she is already? The facial expressions look more like a budget mime act.

Whilst I genuinely enjoyed tonight's installment but did anyone else feel like they'd missed an episode? We end with Debbie in prison on Friday & open tonight's with her on the swings. I notice this happens regularly, is this due to the 30 min episodes or just bad writing?#Corrie

@victoriamelody fabulous tonight at @theoldcourts, a performance with “the Diggers” at its heart back to the home town of that movements driving force, switched quite late in the day to “Gerard Winstanley House”, quite spooky!!! Good luck in the States 🙏👏👏

@PWUPodcast Chapman was outstanding. Did the simple things well and then made a massive difference in two key attacking moments. Fantastic to have a defender that can carry the ball forward at speed. Very encouraging. #wafc

@WAFCRob Very few players are legends IMO and Magennis isnt one of them. But he isnt a hate figure either, in fact Im not sure many ex Latics players should be. He has done really well to extend his career given his age, fair do to him. I didnt cheer him but Im certainly not booing.
