Villa vs. Wigan

[Nebbiolo]

Good luck to Wigan today. If this was a home game I'd fancy them to get something. Away against an in-form Villa is going to be difficult.

Just beat me to it again

Would be fantastic if Wigan could pinch a point, if they was at home i'd fancy them too, think it might be just a bit much for them away from home though.

Just hope the pressure gets to Villa.

 

[Nebbiolo]

It's going to be tough for them today. In our favour Wigan know that the draw would be enough to guarantee safety. Not in our favour is the fact that Wigan are probably already safe anyway.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Yeah.

Ideally Birmingham will be winning comfortably winning at half time vs Fulham so that Wigan dont slack in the second half.

1-1 i fancy for this one today.

Hope villa [Poor language removed] it!!

1444: TEAM NEWS Aston Villa v Wigan
Aston Villa's Olof Mellberg has shaken off an illness to make his final appearance at Villa Park. The Sweden international, who joined the club in 2001, leaves for Juventus in the summer. Wigan striker Emile Heskey will hope to give Mellberg a hard time, though. He plays up front despite carrying a mild ankle knock, while Emmerson Boyce deputises for Mario Melchiot (groin) at right-back.

That makes me worry Mellberg will slam one in...

 

[GrandOldTeam]

I am listening to it and its a grim start.

Grim in a dull way or grim in a Villa are going to spunk them off the park way?

kirkland comes up with a brilliant save following a zat night header

bad sign though that they're letting people get attempts on goal off villa set pieces

 

[GrandOldTeam]

"Wigan have had all the possession but look toothless, Villa look the more dangerous whenever they get the ball"

Thats the Heskey effect for you.

Marcus Bent hasnt scored this year...

Wigan have only won once away all season, against Derby...

 

[toffeestillidie]

another brilliant kirkland save, really hope they don't start depending on him though

scharner is looking a bit [Poor language removed], hope one of his cockups doesn't give this game away (that's bramble's job)

abonglahor was through on goal, took the shot on his off foot, probably the worst shot i've ever seen
