I can't comment his threats, mistaram, childish or otherwise. But the 'poor little Barnsley, everybody is against us' attitude is not crap. It started in 1912 when Arsenal were 'promoted' to the top flight even though they finished the season lower in the table than Barnsley. Ask any Barnsley fan about the Willard game and you'll shudder to hear just how corrupt football really is.

Barnsley are treated the worst of the 92 clubs. They are mocked, reviled, scorned, ridiculed and portrayed as a bit of a joke. In the Premiership they were patronised as the other clubs 'second favourite team' (except when Barnsley beat them of course). If a manager's job is on the line then defeat to Barnsley is considered to be the last straw and marks his instant dismissal.

I'd say Barnsley have every right to feel everyone is against them, and, when push comes to shove, the EFL will take the line of least resistance and uphold Wigan's appeal. Next time you hear of 'Barnsley Bitter' you'll know why!
