i heard its pie eater coz when you and the people of st helens was on mineing strike you went back to work and the st helens people went back later and ended up with more pay coz thay stayed on strike! hence you had to eat humble pie. dont thay call it being a scab??

Think they call it holding the country to ransom but not 100% about that.

Alright, alright, we get it, you're illiterate, you don't have to keep illustrating the point! It seems to be a common theme on here.

I never disputed the fact that the miners strike led to Wiganers being told of as eating humble pie. Simply saying where the name pie-eater came from in the first place.

I suggest you ask whoever has loan of the Warrington brain cell to explain it to you more simply if that is too hard to grasp. Maybe a bit of chimp sign language will do it.

I can imagine what your response will be, and no love, it's not clever that you're bouncing round your cage shouting 'scab, scab, scab' but I'll leave you to it as that seems about the level of wit available on here.

Very disappointed with Wigan's end last night. In terms of both numbers and noise, they don't even compare to Saints away following.

What people never say is that they may have been the first to go back to work, but they were one of the first out on strike and were out work for longer than most.

At the end of the day they had a duty to feed their families.

yes there is, the fact that every man has the right to a decent wage and the ability to feed his kids, not just strike breakers!
