Another two games to add to that undefeated home run of theirs.

And guess when we last won a league game, away from Old Trafford? That's right, almost 2 months ago (March 15th) in an underwhelming display against Derby.

Nervous? Moi?

Fuck yeah...

Derby won there?! Thats good.

IhabX7 · 6th May 2008, 13:27

From this pic, it seems we want it more, therefore we'll win it.

No. We won at Derby. The last time we managed to beat anyone away from home.

That's bad.

Heinzesight · 6th May 2008, 13:52

we will hammer the fuckers...show them how football should be played...they are going to get battered!!!

Raven_Blade · 6th May 2008, 13:53

^Sky are really loving this.

Man-United · 6th May 2008, 14:39

How good is Antonio Valencia? Is he good enough for a club like United?

REd FUn DevIl · 6th May 2008, 15:05

"We want to do well against Manchester United, we want to pit our wits against them and we will give it a good go on Sunday as it is only fair for the league."

Kirkland.

Man-United · 6th May 2008, 15:12

Hopefully we won't hear "you scouse bastard" at Kirkland or Heskey from our fans on sunday because that will only motivate them more..

Wigan are much weaker than Boro, Barca, Blackburn, chelsea. we should win.

Yep, had to. It was looking like $7000-8000. Plus no assurance yet for a ticket. I was going to have to travel to England to sort it all out and it was all getting too much of a risk.

Bleeders · 6th May 2008, 18:12

I'm taking solace in the fact that whenever Real have won La Liga, we've replied in recent times with a Prem win, so hopefully that stays true.

Whether Wigan are on holiday mode or not, on our day, we're a handful for anyone and more than capable of getting the result we need.

Number7 · 6th May 2008, 18:15

We won the Community shield this year

That's never a good sign

This is true

BahamaRed · 6th May 2008, 23:56

Wigan have nothing to play for. Nothing to motivate.
We have everything to play for and are biting at the bit right now to win this title. I can assure you that there will be nothing but a win for us at Wiggin. Only thing I'm not sure about is by how many goals. If we win by two goals it will be the biggest GD since the start of the PL.
Days moving too slowly.

You seem very confident.

I'm haunted by the Pompey cup game.

VidaRed · 7th May 2008, 00:32

God, let us win.

Rooney gr8 · 7th May 2008, 02:17

the last time there was a points even goal difference advantage going into the last game was when citeh won the title in 68.. we lost our game against sunderland...that date was 11th may!!!

on the plus side we went on to lift the european cup 2 weeks later

we have to fear referee's and linesmen the most!!!!!

KeyserSoze · 7th May 2008, 02:20

Im really hoping the pitch does not have as big an impact as the press are hoping.

Correcto. The bookies have us at 1 to 6 to win the title and there's a reason why they (and you) winter in the Bahamas.

Its a shame well be celabrating it at such a shit stadium, and not o.t.
Do we think bruce will come on and celabrate with us.

Scholesy_LEGEND · 7th May 2008, 02:57

i'm hoping for:
.......1..........
..2...5..15..3..
..7..18..8..11.
.....20..32.....

nev and giggsy should start (sentimental for me)

utdalltheway · 7th May 2008, 03:28

Feck,it's Mother's Day over in the US. I just remembered and the games are all from 10am till noon. Was looking forward to hanging out in the pub after we won the league to celebrate. Feck!

GE · 7th May 2008, 11:13

The Wigan players will REALLY be up for this match now. Thanks to the media

I wasn't expecting them to roll over, but with all this media bollocks about Wigan doing us a favour will only motivate their players.

We should still win the game, but it won't be easy.

prateik · 7th May 2008, 11:18

naah , most of them will be thinking about the holidays .. they will have some party right after the game with the club mascot and fans coming in on the pitch or something ..

most of them will take it easy .. we still need to play at our best ..

bruce : go out , nothing to lose , play good football .. kirkland .. striker for the day .. heskey in goal ...

roon will hopefully be on the bench

starting Xi i'd like to see

---------- VDS-------------
brown - rio - vidic -------evra
park --- carrick - scholes - anderson - ronaldo
---------------tevez---------------

their defense has been great since bruce dropped bramble ...
really really hope we score early

Ole to start?

Dev · 7th May 2008, 13:03

It is pissing me off that every pundit is putting extra motivation on Wigan to beat us by saying things like 'Wigan will just roll over and let United win, etc'

FFS

Still, this would be a routine win if it weren't for the fact it's going to be a title decider, so this match should be no different in our approach to the game. Lets go there to win as usual.
