But you have Emile Heskey!!

I can't see them doing it though, at the moment I'm praying they give more than they have done the last few games and even then I'm only 40/60 they can beat Sheff Utd, if they do play like they have done the past few games I'm down to 20/80 that they will do it.

SU looked terrible on the defensive end against AV. Anything is possible. But for Wigan to get 0 points in the last 2 home matches is shocking. This is a great time of the year.

I've never watched Heskey on a constant basis until this season and yes he doesn't score enough but workrate you can't fault him, imo Wigan's player of the season just a pity the other 10 players don't try as hard.

0 points and almost as many chances to score. I hoped WH, Charlton and Wigan stayed up this year but it's highly unlikely. But if Charlton beat Spurs on Monday that could spice things up even further.

He's never been close to a true goalscorer in my book. I've not seen much of him myself this year, does he still get viciously thrown to the ground by players half his size?

Wigan's problem is that confidence is 0, the fans have started to get on their backs because their seeing players just walking around and not trying. The only goalscorer they do have is Camara and he's doing what he always has done, and that's join a team have a great first season then gets bored and wants a move the second season because he suddenly think's he's too good for the team he's playing for and should be playing for Madrid or Barca instead.

Your right he isn't a true goalscorer, on paper him and Camara are the perfect strike partnership, strong player who can hold the ball up and knock the ball down for a quick footed player but like I say mentaly Camara always goes missing in his second season at a club.

A brilliant 5 minutes from Everton in the 2nd half. Off they go to the UEFA Cup.

Freddie Eastwood is playing for Wales? He's from Basildon! Hurrah for his Grandfather I guess.

They'd need Clint Eastwood to be able to qualify for a finals tournament at the moment.

That's a shame. Where is Camara from?

The wheels fell off early for Wigan when they lost Chunumbra

and couldnt sign a real striker. Then the injuries.

bababui · 05-05-2007, 05:08 PM

Only in England (and maybe Italy)..an announcement at the end of the Everton match. "A safety announcement: At the end of the match please remain in your seats..."

Biggest player they lost and wouldn't have mattered anyways as he's been injured all season was Bullard, not the greatest player but drove the team forward both on and off the pitch.

Go watch a Liverpool game that's all you hear every 5 minutes, "for safety will you please sit in your seats"

Can't remember it but off the top of my head it wasn't a great game, probably only on because think I'm right in saying last Wembley final.

UKHS...Middlesbouroughs goal should have been disallowed because of a double touching violation. Wigan was screwed.
