WIGAN ATHLETIC
A good-news, bad-news summer for Wigan. Manager Roberto Martinez turned down Aston Villa but best player Charles N’Zogbia didn’t, leaving a gaping hole in their attacking resources.

Tom Cleverley’s return to Manchester United after a loan spell is also a blow for one of the most unpredictable sides in the Premier League, capable of beating the best and losing to the worst with equal expertise.

Talented midfield James McCarthy will be crucial to their season if Wigan can keep him away from an increasing group of admirers, as will striker Hugo Rodallega.

Wigan have danced around the drop with regularity. If Martinez can do the same again this season then his reputation will be enhanced, but this may be the season when they do not escape.

Prediction: 20th

Then some bloke wrote this:-
Have you not learnt yet? Every year Wigan get predicted to finish last by everyone. I think the exception was last year when they were set to finish 19th and Blackpool last. Can you not see that Wigan have the youngest team in the Premier League and will only get better. They will be this years surprise package I promise you. And I’m not even a Wigan fan! Sounds like either a bitter West Ham fan that wrote this or someone who doesn’t really follow the Premier League.

Well done that lad :dance: .
