I wouldn't say that.
I think our luck, or lack thereof, is down to whomever starts the matchday threads

Yeah but our last 4 away games.........

Boro 2-2
Blackburn 1-1
Barcelona 0-0
Chelsea 1-2

The legs should be a lot better on Sunday cos of the rest and coupled with the fact that we have a full 9 days off before Moscow I think the lads should be up for this.

SAF will have to go all out as we may as well lose as draw so we should do like we did vs West Ham, go at them early and often.

Did anyone remember seeing that bloke get tackled right before he got to the players after the Barca win??? What a tackle by the security guy, he should be playing rugby, not watching out for pitch invasions.

Yeah i noticed that it was hilarious. the security guy took him out with an amazing tackle. Junior Seau would have been proud of that one

Alex · 6th May 2008, 02:12

1 win for the title, I'd like our odds vs anybody, and who do we get Wigan, hopefully they kill the game quick so champagne is out after 45 minutes

I imagine it'll be on in some 210 countries so there is a possibility you might be able to catch it somewhere.

So did you pull the pin on Moscow BR?

Feed Me · 6th May 2008, 08:53

The season really is balanced beautifully. This Wigan game - we have a completely free week to stay fresh. SAF will have them all relaxed going into the match. Then we have a 10 day rest before the Champions League final. That won't be a repeat of the FA Cup when both teams were running on empty, that is for sure.

On our JJB record - the last two games were actually very challenging. We added gloss to the 3-1 win courtesy of Ole but had gone behind and had Vidic to thank for a trademark thumping header (he is due by the way)! Then we waited until late to come from behind to win 2-1 the season before. By no means a formality.

a_devil_inside · 6th May 2008, 09:18

draws against Spurs and Chelsea, they've beat Villa at Villa Park.
Wigan will be no pushover thats for sure

Kelvin · 6th May 2008, 09:49

I be shitting it Chelsea score first against Bolton and we struggle against Wigan.

Giggsy PO · 6th May 2008, 09:51

I had a terrible dream last night. Or better called a nightmare. Heskey scored at the end of the of the first half. Somewhere around 75th Roy Carroll (yes he was playing for us!) made a huge blunder, trying to nutmeg Anelka (yes, he was playing for Wigan!) but he fucked up and Anelka scored to the empty net. We replied immediately (Park scored a stunner from 35 yards) but for no reason the referee disallowed it.

So we lost 2:0. You can´t imagine how happy I was when woke up and realized it was just a dream. And Rooney was on the bench for 90 minutes.

UnitedRoadRed · 6th May 2008, 09:59

Bottom line. Wigan are bottom half. We know we must beat them. We know we can beat them. We know we should beat them. Fergie will see to it - we've got a 10 day break to the final.

Its ok to have some nerves. It can help you to realise that there is a challenge you must prepare for. Overconfidence is much worse.

Wigan 1-0 West Ham

Wigan 1-2 Everton

Havak · 6th May 2008, 12:20

Ut oh, Wigan's last five Home Games:

Wigan 0-0 Arsenal
Wigan 1-0 Bolton
Wigan 2-0 Birmingham
Wigan 1-1 Tottenham
Wigan 0-0 Reading

Looks like it could take a good performance to score there.

Wigan are undefeated at Home since January 28th, their last Home defeat came to Chelsea which went 1-2 in the Londoner's favour.

Since that loss, Wigan have only conceded one goal at Home, in seven games.

None of the teams are Man United, so its ok. We're top for a reason you know.

If Ronaldo and our defence have a good day, they've no chance.
