Made up Wigan are winning. Hope it stays like that!

Oh dear

I wonder how long before Joey Barton retires and becomes one of the few Evertonian pundits?

 

[Ashtonian]

Sad about Wigna not coming up this year, personally think they have deserved it with us poaching their best players and them having to change managers half way through.

QPR make me laugh though. Ponder this for a minute......

they get promoted with a crap team, sign a load of mercenaries on high wages and proceed to bomb out the league. Now they are on the verge of being promoted with a semi crap team again and all the mercenaries who were loaned out are all coming back........

I am behind the 8 ball here...which teams are being promoted to PL?

Leicester and Burnley are promoted, QPR and Derby are in the play off final.

Ahhhh derby presents a huge dilemma for me I want them to be promoted but I would prefer if they didn't and we got Hughes

2009/10 was their last time in the Prem, under Owen Coyle, before that it was 33 years since they'd played top flight footie. Hope Derby get promoted, Leicester, Burnley and Derby are three fairly close (geographically) away games for the players and fans, better than Norwich, Fulham and Cardiff.

On the subject of Hughes and Derby's youngsters. Remember the fuss made of Huddlestone and Lee Holmes?

Aye I do Holmes isn't much chop but huddlestone is a fair player and would be very very good if he wasn't an oil tanker. I'm willing to put future vaultage on the line here Hughes will be England's best CM who's name isn't Barkley within 4 years

Mason Bennett + Lewin Nyatanga

Are those residential flats in the Orient ground? That's so boss if so and could certainly help with funding costs.

Huddlestone would have been a much better player if he hadnt gone to Spurs.
