1-0 at half time means 9 goals in the 49 minutes of the second half. That's just ridiculous. I've never seen a team fall apart so badly since we lost to Man Utd last season.

[therockbox]

That is fucking hilarious.

[Thrilla]

So... What about that awesome performance from the Rovers today? >_>

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I feel the need to discuss Scharner's handball.

Well, not as much as when he first scored it (and I was angry) but seriously, that was a shocking handball, Henry style flick of the wrist to control it.

Which inspires this chant for Roberto Martinez:

"You should've stayed at the Swansea!

Stayed at the Swansea!

You should've stayed at the Swansea!"

Martinez has one again been found out as a fucking tool.

[IAceI]

We got to the DW next week, I suspect Bent will get at least 6.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Wigan'll probably Jeykll and Hyde you for a 3-0 win or something stupid. They get thrashed by Spurs, Arsenal and Man Utd and then go and beat Chelsea.

Anyway, all the goals in the second half were 51, 54, 57(W), 58, 64, 69, 87, 88, 94.

[IAceI]

No, I do fully expect Wigan to come out and be absolute arseholes against us and not let us just hammer them. From memory our record against Wigan isn't the best, plus it's Bruce going back to his old club (unfortunately no Cattermole) and we'll see if Figueroa is playing since he didn't today and we all suspect he'll be a Mackem come January anyways.

We need to take advantage of the fact they just got thrashed, attack them from the off and hopefully if it looks bleak then their 7 fans or so will get a bit itchy and on their players backs.

We've not been fan-dabi-dozi away from home, next Saturday would be a good opportunity to turn that around and as much as we all want emulate a phenomenal 9-1 result as close as possible, I'll obviously take a 1-0 victory with the goal coming off Nosworthy's cock.

Yeah, I'd imagine Bruce will tell your lads to get in amongst them from the kick off and just harass as much as possible. Score an early one and Wigan heads will drop.

And I went to bed after 40 minutes at 1-0 :@

[Adam]

I googled Erik Edman to check if he used to play for Spurs as I thought, and found the news headline at the top of the page from 9 hours ago hilarious. 'Edman return pleases Martinez'.

I'm wondering if he maintains that opinion now.

EDIT: And I'm sick of people calling Kyrgiakos 'Kirriakos'. The commentator in the Lyon game did, then the commentator on the Man City game and now Adrian Chiles.

The Wigan players are to refund any fans who bought tickets for the Spurs game:

Really Chris Kirkland should be exempt and Edman should be paying the bulk, but it's really just a PR exercise more than anything else.

[IAceI]

It's ironic, the one time Chris Kirkland actually tried to stop a shot it hit the bar, cannoned off his head and went in anyways. Aside from that he was at his usual static best.

[9 to 5]

So... What about that awesome performance from the Rovers today? >_>

Aye, good performance and shows we can play 4-4-2 when the need arises.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Kirkland was okay. Probably one of their best players ironically.

[King Ellis]

Paul Hart has quit, apparently.

[TheArsenal]

BBC makes it sound more like a sacking.

EDIT:-

The club said in a statement that the decision "has been made reluctantly and is based on results that leave the club at the bottom of the Premier League".

Yep, sacking.

[ONO]

Reluctantly?

I think Avram will be good for Portsmouth.

[Gazz]

I always enjoy seeing a decision go against Man Utd but if you're going to start giving penalties every time a player gets his shirt pulled on a free kick or corner, football scores are going to start looking like rugby.

[Szumi]

And West Ham is thrashing Burnley, 5-0. <3

...why can't we always play like this?
