Two gems from the Toon board:
1) "Wigan are just a total waste of space - They do nothing but sit in the bottom three for the majority of the season then when it's April/ May time they decide to grind out some results. Shockingly bad side, with a senile old tit for an owner, the most overrated manager in England (if he was any good he'd have taken them to mid table and above) and a collection of fans who can only be described as quieter than a funeral service. The sooner they disappear back to the lower leagues where they belong, the better."
2) "Having to root for Stoke? Pardew deserves the sack for that alone"
