Kwan Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Wigan are obviously missing something otherwise they' d be above us. Come off it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Good result tonight. If Wigan (a) had anyone who could slot a telling ball through the 6 yard box and ( anyone who could pounce on such a ball and slot it in the net, they would have won tonight but they just spend 75% of their time pointlessly passing the ball around outside the box. And that is why they are more likely to go down than us. Edited April 17, 2013 by briny_ear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Wow that was close & to be fair Wigan deserved a result tonight... but then how many games have we had this season when we deserved a result only to f*** it up!.. About time it started to happen to some of those clubs around us for a change!.. So to Man U on Monday.. who are now on the back of a defeat & a draw & could be playing us to win the title if Spurs beat City!! & i wouldn't bet against that watching City tonight!!... Why oh why do we always come up against clubs just at the wrong time like this?!..Bizarre!.. Big win for Chelsea too tonight.. so glad they too are finding their form just as our game against them appears on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Pleased with Wigan result. I know we are all guilty of it, but perhaps as fans we look too much into other teams games. I think bascially it boils down to if we can beat both Sunderland and Norwich then we will be fine. Even 4 pts from those 2 will give us a good chance.

brommy Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Wigan are better than us guys, face it. They beat us 3-0 at home FGS. They'll finish higher than us too. If it came down to that last game they'll pass it around us and we'll play like complete dicks. Not sure why people can't see this and admit it. Thankfully we still have Stoke, Norwich and Sunderland at to save us. There's no point in admitting or not admitting whether your opinion is correct or not. We'll see who was the better team this season when looking at the table after 38 games. Even if we lose twice against Wigan this season, we'll still be the better team IF we finish above them.

ozvillafan Posted April 18, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2013 Pleased with Wigan result. I know we are all guilty of it, but perhaps as fans we look too much into other teams games. I think bascially it boils down to if we can beat both Sunderland and Norwich then we will be fine. Even 4 pts from those 2 will give us a good chance. Given the recent form of both Sunderland and Norwich compared to our own, those are winnable games - though the DiCanio effect might make Sunderland a little difficult. Happily, Stoke are also in an awful run of form and should struggle to pick up points. It's going to be tight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 By all accounts wigan were very unlucky not to win last night, I think they will get 4 points from their next 2 games, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 18, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2013 By all accounts wigan were very unlucky not to win last night, I think they will get 4 points from their next 2 games, The thing is, we are absolutely prime evidence that playing well and narrowly losing to a big team doesn't mean you'll play well in your next games. Wigan could just as easily crash and burn in their next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Well considering the only losses we have had in the past 6 matches have been 1-0 losses to Arsenal and Man City, i would suggest its the opposite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 On Wigan, that was a missed opportunity yesterday, Watched the game and City were absolutely knackered, you could see it in their play but they still won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GarethRDR Posted April 18, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2013 Never want to go through this hell again. I was uber-stressed back in '95 when we stayed up by a point, but at least then I was of an age where a trip to the local ice cream parlour made it all better. Admittedly, 18 years later and ice cream would still cheer me up but do I live anywhere near a decent gelateria? Do I f*ck! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Yes there was never a better time to play Man City. Its weird that when we played Liverpool they were really up for it and in their next 2 games they haven't been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcTheObsession Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Having watched the Hammers last night, I'm confident they'll beat Wigan at the weekend. Wigan won't be able to replicate that performance away from home every game, and as has been said Man City were very tired, and with nothing to play for really could not get motivated for little Wigan coming to town on a Wednesday night.

Wigan could just as easily crash and burn in their next game. I suppose it wipes away their awful last min point against an awful QPR side with 10 men for 70 mins. They are down there because they deserve to be just like us. They average less than a point a game for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
