Welcome to the inaugural Tottenham Not606 Wigan Prediction League :smiley-finger007:

I can already sense the excitement this will generate among our northern chums...

Famous Wigan food products include Heinz baked beans, Pataks Indian Foods, Potters
herbal remedies and Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls.

Wiganers are sometimes known as ‘pie-eaters’ - but contrary to popular myth this has nothing to do with
their love for pies. It actually dates back to the miners’ strike in the 1920s, when Wigan miners were
forced back to work before the strike was over. As a result they were said to have eaten ‘humble pie’.

In the 1960s and 70s, Wigan Casino was the spiritual home of ‘Northern Soul’ music,
attracting thousands to its famous all-nighters. The casino burnt down in the
early 1980s. In the 90s the town gained a reputation as a centre for jazz and now hosts
an international jazz festival every summer.

hahaha amazing thread WY! <laugh>

Arsenal 2-2 Wigan

(Walcott x 2), Scharner, Kone
 
Brilliant WY!! <laugh>

Much as I would love Wigan to repeat their exploits from Saturday with a last minute winner, I think a draw may be the best we can hope for - but that is as good for us anyway.

So 1 - 1 for me, with Maloney scoring an 85th minute freekick equaliser..... <cross fingers>
 
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

1-1

Some Arsenal chump and some chap beginning with M

Interestingly Wigan boast a 'pier'...A landlocked town with a pier I hear you ask??...well here it is...

...no, not the covered walkway on the left, I kid you not, the wooden thing on the right!! plans for a merry-go-round, helter skelter, and a ghost train have been rejected, due to Health and Safety having some slight concerns.
 
1-3, Kone, Maloney and Bale <ok>

Come on Wigan Hotspur! Wait, we've done this before haven't we? :( Someone get photoshopping the 2 badges together.

Who's going to predict an Arsenal win first?

I would like Wigan to stay up so I'm hoping they win. But it's hope rather than expectation. Arsenal keep scoring late goals to win at home.

I'm pretty sure I saw someone on twitter complaining about the badge merge last night! I havent seen it, but the impression I got was that it'd already been done!

Woolwich 0-1 Mighty Wigan Athletic, FA Cup holders.
Late Maloney free-kick, as Szchesney Hawkes just doesn't have the quality to deal with it. <ok>
