Hanshithispantz Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 It's a sad state for football in general if a team puts a reserve team out for a FA cup final. This, it would be absolutely ludicrous. I suppose I don't know how I would feel as a Wigan fan (or maybe that should be "as THE Wigan fan" hahahahaha).

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Any chance Wigan will play a reserve team in the FA Cup final? They'll get fined by the FA if they do. Enough to outweigh the incredible TV money for staying up? points deduction? No chance, I doubt there's even a law to allow that to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 It's a sad state for football in general if a team puts a reserve team out for a FA cup final. It's never happening. This is the only chance of winning something meaningful for Wigan, their players and possibly Martinez. I wouldn't be surprised if the lot would take winning that cup over staying in the league.

I suppose I don't know how I would feel as a Wigan fan (or maybe that should be "as THE Wigan fan hahahahaha"). Let me say if we put out a reserve team out for a cup final, I'd like to think the manager wouldn't get out of the stadium due to our fans going off it.

Interpolic Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Nah, I'm not having it like. If they're still in the mix to stay up then I think there's a very good chance they'd play a weakened side in the final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I think Wigan will pick up 7 points. i think you're nuts. No offence, but I really do. They'll get nothing like that. Having that sort of GD swing against you is awful, but keep it in perspective, Wigan are way behind, and have to get the points. Perspective isn't something we specialise in. Your victory tonight signals the end. Wigan are irrelevant. What's the difference between people saying we're definitely going down and you saying Wigan are definitely going down? Neither are nailed on, only one team is in better form than the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKSC Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I've just done the predictor on the BBC Website. Got it coming down to a final day shoot out between us and Wigan. Norwich P 37 Pts 41 Sunderland P 37 Pts 40 Stoke P 37 Pts 40 Villa P 37 Pts 40 NUFC P 37 Pts 37 --------------------------------- Wigan P 37 Pts 36 I've also got Arsenal in 4th, 1 point behind Chelsea, 2 pts ahead of Spurs. Anyone fancy us to get something off Arsenal when they need to tie up a CL place, while Wigan have Villa who are already safe. I don't like the look of that at all. We MUST get a win at either QPR or WHAM. We simply have to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 The problem with the BBC predictor is that wherever you expect teams to not pick up points they usually have this season. Must have done it 3 or 4 times in recent weeks with Villa only getting to about 35 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
