Unfortunately not. Had we progressed we’d have been ball 4 with Leeds moved up to ball 3 in place of Bradford. Therefore, we’d have been playing Chelsea in the next round.
Would we? How were they numbered?
If purely alphabetically then the draw as it stands is
5 v 4
8 v 6
7 v 2
3 v 1If we were 8 we would have played number 6, Norwich, at home.
However 3 v 1 would have been Chelsea v Arsenal, so that draw would never have happened ;)[/quote]
blimey, figuring out the magic 6 numbers (retire tomorrow), is easier !
whatever, the draw would / wouldn’t have been, fair to say that progress to the last 8 and beyond would have
– generated much-need additional revenue for the club (transfer window)
– given a LIMITED number of fringe players (further) opportunity to pit
their wits against the best (Forect /Bradford to Arsenal /Chelsea)
– helped raised the profile of Wigan Athletic, domestically and abroad
– potentially brought one or two fair weather supporters down to the DW
– given the hardy ‘core’ something to shout aboutALL POSITIVE …
– As for doing the ‘impossible’, Cardiff came mighty close last year.
Granted Liverpool are no Chelsea (Arsenal?); hopefully, we’re a notch
up on Cardiff.What’s done is done, but no doubt, missed opportunity.
(End of) Tottenham, Saturday ….
