Re: Good Luck Latics
A poor Arsenal side but only to be expected in view of them playing in mid week in a game they have got to win in order to secure any chance of a place in a European competition, which these days is more important than the FA Cup Competition. Any success in that is now a bonus to the bigger club's and a reason they do not select their best team in the competition.CougarDeb wrote:Just like to say well done to the Latics, went down with some friends yesterday, wasn't the best game ever and in truth we didn't have many clear goal attempts but we were a bit unlucky not to hold on against a poor Arsenal side. Was also a bit surprised about the order of our penalty takers. Hopefully Latics will be back at Wembley in the play off final. :eusa2:

Re: Good Luck Latics
I am also incline to think that if Arsenal had played their best team, the game would not have gone to extra time and then penalties as they would have scored from the numerous chances they blew.Whelley Warrior wrote:A poor Arsenal side but only to be expected in view of them playing in mid week in a game they have got to win in order to secure any chance of a place in a European competition, which these days is more important than the FA Cup Competition.

Re: Good Luck Latics
I think Arsenal looked far better with 2 advanced strikers. I felt Powell was poor for Wigan as were all the subs.

Re: Good Luck Latics
I grew up in Wigan and now live in Essex. I was lucky enough to get a ticket to the match and after getting off the train into London, I was actually asked the best way to Wembley by a group of Gooners. They were being serious, but a good laugh was had by all!Shaun1967 wrote:They must feel like real idiots now you've pointed this out.Whelley Warrior wrote:I feel sure Arsenal fan's are well aware of the way to Wembley seeing that they go there regular to watch England.Shaun1967 wrote:Had to laugh listening to Wish FM.
