Think the thing with that this time round is that it's Wigan and after the Haidara incident, they've gone right down in people's estimations (and rightly so) - hence why people want them to lose horribly. Horrible club.
I'm not that fussed about it being Wigan, I was p*ssed off when Birmingham won one, and Portsmouth, and Middlesbrough, etc.
I totally see Dave's points and actually think them more logical than mine, there's just something symbolic about when one of these clubs win a cup and we've been hanging around for 44 years for a cup and 58 years for a domestic one. At least when one of the "big" clubs win it I can put it down to being all about money, etc.
I can understand your point of view and Dave's. My view is because it's f***ing Wigan, they can rot in hell as far as I'm concerned and I want them to feel some f***ing pain for once so a sizeable City win will do me.
