Wigan v Newcastle United- Official Build Up / Match Day Thread

We should holf our ground

 

Is that hoofball using a golf club?

 

lol

 

Fromthestands in peace from the wigan board i thinkl sundays game for us can go
one way or the other with seml flnals still fresh in our thoughts at Wembley we might still be rideing hight or be our same old selfs and screw it up at the back for a easy days work for your lads but what ever happens it will be a oreet game as they say

 

Hi fromthestands. I find this one really hard to call. Wigan play great football, but results are unpredictable. We've had a really mixed season but on a good run of form - albeit with key players missing (yet again). After the 4-0 last year, I'm not going to dare predict on this one.

Anyway, good luck for the rest of the season after Sunday.

 

Hope it is a great game, at least that way both sets of fans can be reasonably happy.

 

We will need to set a new trend on Sunday......

NUFC at Wigan:
2011/12 lost 0-4
2010/11 won 1-0 Sh.Ameobi
2008/09 lost 1-2 Guthrie
2007/08 lost 0-1
2006/07 lost 0-1
2005/06 lost 0-1 (LC)
2005/06 lost 0-1
1953/54 won 3-2 (FA) Broadis, Keeble, White*

 

Just looked at the table/fixtures and if we win tomorrow, we could easily be 10th by the end of the weekend. Fulham v Spurs and West Ham v Chelsea- would say both teams drop points. Would hope Stoke lose to West Brom, and I suppose we can all hope for a Sunderland/Norwich draw!

 

is Krul back yet?

Tiote needs to be dropped and The Moussa should play deeper so he can win the ball.

Marv, Cisse and Le Gouf in attack. And I think Haidara is playing better than Santon currently so put him LB.

 

Krul, Cabs, Colo, Benni & Raylor all out.

Agree about Tiote, but will be harder to leave him out with no Cabaye either. Marv has created both winning goals for Cisse in the last week. Looking better.

 

Marv has to start really. Have to say I thought he was poor against Anzhi the other night, very frustrating. But it was a pearler of a ball in. If we get the balance right in terms of defensively minded midfielders, then we can release him. I can't consider playing Moussa deeper though, he is having too big an impact up top. Perch has every right to feel he should replace Tiote though. It still feels strange saying that! You'd have been carted off to the loony asylum 1-2 seasons ago.

 

Or made a Mod!

 

Nah its a right old boys club.....allegedly

 

Whatever do you mean?

Must say the wait for the mod interview was a tense affair.

Did they probe you? and ask lots of awkward questions?

 

You'd have been carted off to the loony asylum 1-2 seasons ago.

The Mods are already inside. Silly old buggers.

 

It's the special handshake that gives them away.

 

How did you escape? Or are you still in there and you just THINK You're no longer a Mod?

 

Were you asleep there Jim or were you just resting your eyes?
