P3te Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 The inference was that both us and Arsenal are better teams than Wigan so we should be oK. My point was that football doesn't work like that as last Saturday at Wembley proved. You just cant rely on us being a better team so that's good enough Football only fails to work like that over small sample sizes. For example, in a one off match, there's a chance anything can happen. Increase it to two games and it gets a lot less likely, add a third into it and the chances of all the outcomes being upsets are almost non-existant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated previously I wish they would just bugger off & get relegated to the turd division! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I've got my four sons and their families coming round tonight to watch the game. There's plenty of booze chilling and even if Wigan win it just means that the bubbly will have to wait until we beat Wigan on sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Even IF Wigan win, we are still far from down. Has that clicked with anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Getting clammy hands already about this. Its like a interview or something. Just get it over with please arsenal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Even if Wigan win twice, Spurs still need to fail to win for us to go down. Sunderland are awful at the minute and missing all of their best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agbonla-score Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Sunderland fans must be more nervous than us if that's possible and in turn Wigan fans must be more nervous than them which is some consolation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
