True, but there's an awful lot of exiled scousers and Mancs too, just listen to the accents. Another reason why (alongside the egg chasing) Wigan have never had a massive core support.

There are empty seats behind the Man City goal so am guessing it's not a sell out.

Well the 'Will Griggs is on fire' song is universal in those parts.
Man Utd version: 'Will Ryan Giggs get fired
Liverpool version: 'Our local Greggs is on fire'

Wigan actually defending superbly at the moment, and not in a desperate, last ditch blocking way either. Their back four looks quite classy, especially for a League One side.
Surely I'm not the only one chuckling every time the commentator mentions Max Power though

Latics in the PL got much bigger crowds than eggballers. But....apart from the 4,000 die hards, proper footy bods, it was all a bit tin pot (I went there a fair bit at one point). Nice stadium and very accessible by car. Blimey, that pitch looks ruggerbuggered, though, tonight. Crikey.
Stones, mechanical, complainer....Shame he isn't ginger. Boom, tish (etc).
Ooooh Walton just added another 2 mill to his value!

Ooooh. Contentious, Referee had the yellow ready to go, and has been swayed by screaming home players and crowd into showing a red.
Surely that sort of thing would never happen in an important game officiated by a professional, Premier League standard referee?

Not sure about that, def pulled the second leg out a little. Come on Wigan!!
This. What a dreadful decision. Probably worse than Mike Dean at Boro. Awful.
Middlebroughesque refereeing there.

strong and stable with me, or...
Looked a red to me, left the ground, out of control, excessive force. Ticks a red for me.
Wigan is a small place, the total conurbation has a population is 175,000, that's the same as Crawley and Swindon. But with Rugby League the number one sport. It was a minute football club, until Dave Whelan pumped in endless £m's, now its found it's natural level again .... small.

Weren't you one of The Three Amigos back in the day Harold? And why are you banging on about Oldham in the top flight you senile old git?
