Centrelink1 is a sexy champ

I'm going to go ahead and predict Wigan to beat Man U.

Re: Centrelink1 is a sexy champ

Wigan!

 

[Coledinho]

Confident of a win here. There I said it

 

[ben_09]

Wigan!

 

[ShearMagic9]

Good chance for us to move up another spot (or perhaps even 2). Bolton have lost 6 away games in a row, hopefully we make it 7.

Does tthis mean we can celebrate now?

 

[meh]

This board would go into meltdown if Man Utd don't take all 3.

Massive game for Sunderland, we can't afford to drop another otherwise we will be sucked back into the log-jam. Quietly confident, thought we have been reasonable in recent weeks against good opposition (barring those ****s Stoke), and with Everton still struggling, it's going to be a cracker.

 

[P.A.F.C]

Roy is due for an away win so i'm tipping us for an upset

I wouldn't be surprised. But then again Darron Gibson could have the game of his life - cows generally do well on cow paddocks.

We just relayed our pitch. Try again.

Been quite a while since we last beat Liverpool, and we're probably not going to have a better opportunity for a while, with them coming off a 3 day break.

Think there'll definitely be goals in it for both teams, hopefully we can nick a 2-1 win.

Next 2 games are absolutely crucial for us, must try to get 4 points minimum, with games against Spurs and Man Utd coming up afterwards.

 

[Jessica Watson]

Mark Nobles injury time penalty, was that the last time you beat us?

 

[DBAH0]

Think so, it was the 1-0 game in Jan 08.

Since then, you've owned us pretty good.

Just in time for Fergie's arrival?

No way!

Re: Centrelink1 is a sexy champ

We did it last season before the Liverpool game, so I doubt it's too flakey.

It was the away game at Fulham that really turned things around for us. Our best game for the season, and Ibthink Mancini would have permanently lost a lot of the supporters if we had gone down to a welsh numpty led team.

As it is, the stats are telling, 13 games before Fulham scoring 1.15 goals per game and gaining 1.69 points. 14 games since (including Fulham) scoring 2 goals a game and averaging 1.92 points.

I see Hughes is going on about how proud he is of his transfer record at City because Kompany, De Jong and Tevez are key players in our side. Sorry but Kompany could barely get a game under his management, De Jong was used in a central midfield two, drastically reducing his effectiveness and Tevez had nothing to do with his management. And three players to show for £200m + spending isn't much to brag about anyway.

Anyway, Peter Walton in charge, apparently we haven't won a match he's beennin charge of for six years. Go figure.

Ref debut?

 

[centrelink1]

I swear we can win tonight.

 

[Benno_900]

I swear we can win tonight.

I will change my avatar to a Wigan one if you just draw tonight. At least until the next time we drop league points.

 

[Jessica Watson]

Ref debut?

You are correct sir.

From outside the select group too.

Tough initiation, Karl Henry could conceivably kill someone.
