Pray for Chizzie

I have a lot of sympathy here.

Ten years ago Wigan could have handled this comfortably, but the surge of public interest in Joe following Chiz's low key introduction to his talent has gone beyond anything they could have imagined.

They weren't to know statues would be erected in Joe's honour. That the sheer weight of visiting tourists wanting to see not only where he was born and raised, but where he played too meant the cost of transport to Carlisle and back killed the playing budget for the whole season. That TV companies would hound the already overstretched Wigan's PR machine until they agreed to a one off return of This is your Life.

Joe seems a straightforward, decent bloke who doesn't ask too much of life. In fact, considering where he's played, I'd say it's a racing certainty. He will handle a move to the Orient easily.

I just hope that his two favourite disciples, when they take the ultimate decision to follow wherever he may go, have worked out which Orient it is, otherwise the listeners to Radio Shanghai may soon be asked to consider the acceptability of half a dim sum.

Ha ha very good.

Chizballs and Breath Ormerod were seen just this morning entering the Star of Bengal restaurant, Blackburn, with Indian language text books which was a bit strange.

It must be Barcelona surely? Just keeping it under wraps so the fans have time to prepare for the shock and awe once announced. They won’t have seen a player like Garner before.

He will terrorize La Liga defences in a way that has not been seen since that poor Harrogate left back who is, by latest accounts, still having nightmares about CJ Hamilton.
