Does anyone ( of a certain age ) remember that childish game when growing up of stating that if you had just beaten a team who then themselves went on to beat a ‘bigger’ side , it automatically became ‘fact’ that you would have beaten them too !
So given Wigan’s superb result last night and us taking them to the cleaners a week or so ago , we would have wiped the floor with the run away Prem leaders !
Childish I know , but I still love this blinkered logic

Nothing childish or blinkered at all mate. We eat Mancs for Breakfast. Fact, end of.

Nothing childish about it. This is fact. End of.
 
So that’s both Manchester clubs we have beaten, and a moral victory over spurs, plus holding Liverpool and Chelsea to draws. We are the best team in England, no Europe. The evidence is overwhelming. Now that that is a FACT

The season we beat United, they won the premier league, so therefore we won the prem. Easy
 
If only that were true. Surely some day we will beat a top flight side in the FA Cup. Mind you got to get past the 1st & 2nd rounds first.

Might have a chance of getting a good cup run, in any competition, now that we have a different philosophy.
 
Saw this on Twitter this morning:

Roses are red,
Wigan is blue,
Will Grigg's on fire,
Your quadruple is too.
 
It's not big, it's not clever, but it is fun.

I'd like to think we would put on a better dressed pitch invasion as well.
 
Someone on Twitter (forget who) yesterday worked out a way for Southend to be better than Barcelona! I think it went something like:
Chelsea 1-1 Barcelona
Chelsea 0-1 Man City
Wigan 1-0 Man City
Southend 3-1 Wigan

I take no credit for this, I didn’t come up with it but take from it what you will...
