The Aruna Kone Foundation are raising money for a purpose built hospital in the Ivory Coast. They are holding a football tournament on 26th May at the Powerleague soccerdome and are looking for just a few more teams to enter.

As the rain poured down on Roberto Martinez and his fallen troops at the Emirates, the pathetic fallacy perfectly summed up the mood. We have inflicted these emotions directly onto other clubs in recent years, we’ve seen Sheffield United, West Ham and Blackburn perish as we have simultaneously celebrated, but now it’s our turn to feel the pain of relegation.

Last Tuesday, the DW Stadium resembled a cauldron of despondency. Wigan players and fans alike had their energy zapped out of them and left the stadium in sheer disbelief, knowing that it could be the night survival finally slipped from our grasp. This was a fairly atypical event to precede a Cup Final, but the Latics put league troubles behind them to rise from the ashes on Saturday at Wembley.

Whilst our league position might be seen as slightly worrying, Saturday gives us all a chance to revel in a moment of history.

Despite the many doom merchants this time last week, Saturday's win at West Brom means Premier League survival is a very real possibility.

The common perception of Wigan Athletic is a club that has grown rapidly over the last decade but has now fully expended all of its modest resources and cannot grow any further. Many consider Latics to be unsustainably punching above their weight, with it only being a matter of time before the luck runs out and Wigan fall back from whence they came. Roberto Martinez however has other ideas, and the next few weeks will determine whether his dream will have potential, or will be nothing more than an ambitious concept of unrealistic idealism.
