A few years with Foreign Owners doesn't exist today, ask Roberto

Any chance of us playing Blackburn or Burnley in a pre season friendly?

Burnley looks unlikely, they are fairly well booked up

Would have been good, but the dates both clubs had available were sadly not good at the Storefirst.

Capital One Cup perhaps??

Shame Wigan got relegated tonight. I would have liked them to stay up.

Pity,probably the first time the F.A.Cup winners been relegated?

Yes I think they said after the match that Wigan are the first team to win FA Cup and be relegated the same season.

Ya its the first time, but honestly I watched the game and but for a few flashes in the first half they weren't at the races last night, if anything 4-1 flattered them it could have been more

Wigan's problem's started long before Tuesday night, the league table doesn't lie, when they failed to beat Swansea last week the writing was on the wall then, the fact that the Gooners still had something to play for didn't help either, the problem is will they be able to keep the manager.

That plus injuries to, and suspensions of key players, wouldn't you agree F19 ?. meant that they were never going to get the results needed to stay up.
But one had to admire Roberto Martinez' handling of what must have been a painful if not devastating final whistle last night. that man has the courage and dignity often found to be missing in Football Managers....AND, unless I'm not much mistaken, is assured of a big future in the game,

Dave Whelan seems to agree with you yonmon, He was asked on Sky News this aft if Martinez would be allowd to leave if a big club came in for him, yes he knows that I wouldn't stand in his way. say Everton came in for him, He can leave to join a big club I said

I have read that Roberto Martinez four seasons in charge of Wigan have been the worst from coming up to the Premier League.
Paul Jewell won promotion and finished 10th and 17th. Steve Bruce finished 14th and 11th. Martinez 16th, 16th, 15th, 18th, This season they have been in the bottom four ever week save one since December.

On the face of it, it doesn't look good does it, but a lot of people like the way he puts his teams out and the football they play, but at the end of the day the league doesn't lie
