If you want to be smug with me
I just hope this is where we can leave behind what has happened in the last bloody lots of years and unite for this season. The sky is the limit. Most of the favorites are in the bottom 4. Sheff Utd got hammered by Gillingham. We beat the team that some thought would walk this division. And it wasn't a lucky win.
Lets all sing together.
Well that was a surprise and great fun!

They will still walk the division - their main concern is their goalkeeper is straight out of the Lee Burge school of distribution.
Gillingham will be a force this season.
Willis really wasn't that bad. Wigan seemed to change the formation in the second half. Also the two central midfielders were far far better in the second half.
Possession stats must have been hugely in our favour second half
There will be a lot of excitement after this but the squad is wafer thin and already you worry with JOB injured who could step in.
They played intelligently though and given the small forward line played to its strengths.
Great atmosphere as well.
I'd also like to point out the clean sheet for Burge

Quinn? None that spring to mind in my lifetime.
I am calling it now: Armstrong is the new Robbie Keane. Just need the new Cedric Roussel now.
He did nearly put it into his own net though! The defence were forcing them to shoot from range tooI'd also like to point out the clean sheet for Burge
I'm just happy we're in the play-offs position!
Mowbray tactically outclassed Caldwell today, 4-2-4 was a stroke of genius against the three at the back.
Then he talks sense after the game. We are in for a good season.

That was almost very embarrassing for him. How he managed it, even he must be wondering!
He did ok, but still stayed on his line for all but one corner, continuously gave away possession straight to their keeper from his kicks and was hesitant. He will be our weak link but today I will leave his slagging off to a minimum as he kept a clean sheet
I thought Wigan played like a team who have just met! I wasn't very impressed but they may improve and the money to do it, they will have to improve a lot to get the 100 points they talked about.
The Wigan chairman said something along similar lines during preseason.TBF I have only seen Grendel say about 100 points and Wigan walking this division. And he still thinks so. He may still be right but there was a lack of evidence of it today.

Couldn't be happier with that performance, atmosphere change was also noticeable and the pre and half time entertainment was improved.
Some of the passing and movement was sublime. I honestly cannot recall the last time we won comfortably and played so well at the same time. Obviously it's a small step but we have to revel in these moments, they don't happen too often to us!
Armstrong is going to be some player, he was unplayable at times today. Won the ball back, perfect touch, electrifying pace and two fantastic finishes. He was the main difference today and long may it continue.
League highlights on Channel 5 tonight, programme starts at 9.00.
We should get a decent feature as they are league favourites.
And most of us on here found it funny whilst waiting to see what happens.
OK so there is two. Who are all the others?
Sorry Astute the Wigan chairman made the comment I was putting the kids to bed so had to type fast, I think they will be up there at the end but would have to change their team a bit from today and also the way they play reminds me a bit of Us Under the previous manager and Everton under their current manager wanting lots of possession but not bothered where it is
