Wigan v Man City

MagicMarker

On the phone so no fancy graphics.

I assume City are away? I predict a 3rd defeat in a row. :pac:

Mr.Crinklewood

Yes Sir. City are away.

wnolan1992

Easy win for Wigan! :pac:

In seriousness though, if City have realistic ambitions of the Title then this is a game they really need to be winning.

Prediction: Wigan 0-3 City

James Forde

Wigan normally put up a decent fight against city. But can't see it happening this time around. 0-2 for me

dreamers75

I need 9 points in FF to win my cup game other lad noone left to play. I dont care who wins once Silva and Ageuro get 9 points between them

Mr.Crinklewood

Nemanja91

Aguero won't be able to handle caldwell's pace

BBC Text Commentator seems up for a bit of comedy

1900: Christmas seems a while ago. Summer is even further away. You're skint. It's freezing. Cruise ships are sinking and Darlington are going out of business. Yep, it's 'Blue Monday' alright - statistically the most depressing day of the year. But wait - before you succumb to an evening alone consisting of a Pot Noodle and Eastenders, the football gods have sent us all to Wigan. Where the sun always shines and the beer flows like wine. Come aboard for Wigan v Manchester City...


1905: Like a madman losing his senses on a runthrough of New Order's greatest hits, let's skip Blue Monday and concentrate on the football. It's top v bottom. Multi-millionaires v mere millionaires. A chance for City to move three points clear at the top, or a chance for Wigan to clamber off the bottom and right out of the drop zone altogether. Let's not mess about - this is a massive game. Potentially the most exciting Monday in Wigan since the opening of a fourth Greggs.

Mr.Crinklewood

Wigan: Al Habsi, Alcaraz, McCarthy, Caldwell (c), Crusat, Moses, Gomez, McArthur, Rodallega, Stam, Figueroa.

Mr.Crinklewood

Subs: Pollitt, Gohouri, Watson, Di Santo, McManaman, Boyce, Sammon

Subs: Pantilimon, Johnson, Kolarov, Hargreaves, Onuoha, De Jong, Rekik.

J. Marston

Hopefully Wigan can do United a favo.....Silva is playing? G'luck...

Fowler87

Id imagine a goal or two for Aguero tonight. In good form and got hat trick in the home game.. 4-1 city

Raskolnikov

Nasri playing and Johnson on the bench is a joke.

Lost all my links after fresh windows install

MagicMarker

What a start!

Professional Griefer

G'wan Wigan!

MagicMarker

Wtf? How is that a foul?

Mars Bar

My stream is clearly a long way behind.

Professional Griefer

Was that not the same as Luiz against QPR?

theteal

Serious work rate out of City when they haven't got the ball

Jax Teller

Poor ball from Barry there

MagicMarker

Wigan all over the place at the back.

IvySlayer

Citys pressing is making Wigan panic.

IvySlayer

Commentators love the 'little spaniard'

Professional Griefer

I love him too...really fast in FIFA :P

IvySlayer

1-0 Dzekooooooooo.....

Mars Bar

Bleh! That was a good header though.

wonderboysam

change channel time! :pac:

smokedeels

Good header. I bet he scores a hat-trick while still looking a bit of a donkey. The guy is an enigma.

steelcityblues

Does Martinez not believe in the concept of having wingers?

2nd link is good.

That Konpany's girlfriend? Looks more like his sister!

Must have a thing for foreheads!

Professional Griefer

Shouldn't he be with Gervinho so?

Anyways, this is a decent enough scoreline for Wigan at halftime. Could be better, but could well be worse with the state of their defence. Hold out in the second half and nick a goal(or two) hopefully.

MagicMarker

2 fantastic saves.

dzeko

JohnnyRyan99

Dzeko just robbed Aguero of something magical!

This is reminding me of that Chlesea Wigan game!!:(

Richard Hillman

oh Dzeko, why why why

JPA

Dzeko took it off Aguero and simply passed it back to Al Habsi as if to say "stop taking the piss".

joseph brand

Dzeko looks like Lee Evans. Every time I see him.

amacachi

That Moses is a bit of a basket case.

1mcampo1

How greedy/selfish is moses?

Hank Scorpio

almost 1v1 there :eek:

JohnnyRyan99

Barry, Milner and Nasri have been shíte as our midfield 3 tonight!

MagicMarker

Important save there!

Ferris_Bueller

McCarthy has been brilliant out there tonight. Genuinely don't think he has done anything wrong in this match, and from an Irish point of view I am extremely impressed. He looks so comfortable on the ball, and really puts in a shift both going forward and tracking back. Have to say I thought people were over hyping him as I don't usually watch Wigan play but when I have he hasn't looked out of the ordinary, but tonight he has been their best player by a distance IMO.

steelcityblues

McCarthy is too good to be at Wigan.

Fuhrer

Nothing wrong with that De Jong tackle
