*** official Wigan vs city match thread ***

[freshie]

Fuck. Hope Zaba's ok

[Green & Blue]

Easily our best bit of business during the summer. Can't believe he's only 19

Without a doubt.I knew nothing of him until we were signing him.At only 19 he looks a real find.

[Ted Hughes]

BUT after praising him for his effort v Kone, that's the kind of bollock Nasti keeps dropping and so far keeps getting away with it.

[Citylee]

Well done blue... 3 points and another clean sheet
Bring on Manu...

[Lev Bronstein]

Does anyone if this is Balo first full 90 minutes this season ?

He's been on the pitch for that long, I wouldn't call it a full 90 minutes though.

[Moonchesteri]

BIG 3 points today. Not at our best but another clean sheet, away from home too, and Balo got his first. Well happy right now!

Blllluuee mooon! You saw me standing alone

[Dameerto]

Clean sheet, three points, fucling hard work for nearly 70 minutes. No idea why we think it's a good idea to slow our counter attacks down to walking pace when we get near their penalty area though, it does my head in.

He scored the key goal and we won the match but he was just one of a few players who had a mare.

I can live with strikers who score match winning goals

yup - agreed.

[ruralblue]

three more in the bag! Not the best of football played in the bits I managed to watch. Still a wins a win!

[hyper]

And three clean sheets in a row - that's a welcome sight.

Mario put plenty of work in tonight.

Chelsea cruising out of the title race just as I said they would.

Both City & the rags are having a typical rag season; nowhere near any kind of quality but still pulling away.

If it wasn't for City, the rags would be strolling to yet another unopposed, piss easy, title due to the self inflicted incompetence of their competitors. I recon more than half of Ferguson's title wins are strolls which are only made difficult by their own slip ups. We are exactly like that right now; not even at 50% but miles better then the oppo.

No wonder the rags & their cronies in the media hate us; we could take almost all of their default titles from them in the future.

[Alioune DVToure]

Performances like this demonstrate why Balo must go and why Bob must go.
Our away record is shocking, we don't look like scoring and it is because our manager is an absolute shit house!

I know this was posted at around the 60 minute mark, but even so, YOU FUCKING WHAT?!

[Swales4ever]

Garcia. Our most consistent player this year. It's a shame it's been consistantly shit.

seriously embarrassing today

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

yup - agreed.

I thought he worked hard for the whole game, to be honest.

[Swales4ever]

Well done Mario.

Has looked our best option all night imo.

As You said, even much better in the 1st than the second. that gaol was the one of a real striker, tho.
Nasti, extremely impressing for his age, with just say 10 games under his belt

[Ted Hughes]

Garcia. Our most consistent player this year. It's a shame it's been consistantly shit.

That was a real worry.

I'm certain Garcia is a quality player but the Premier League is different & so far he looks like he's in the wrong place.

He worked for the team again today, tracking back and winning the ball a couple of times after giving it away, instead of standing around sulking like he might have done in the past. Had a better game (even without the goal) than Aguero on the whole.

Fair enough, just seen his goal again and as it comes out from the goalie Mario is second favourite to get to it - but he did.

On another note the radio was on about Wigan deserving more - look, if you don't take your chances and concede at your end you deserve nothing!

Aguero has been in poor form for a few weeks now
