      Next season Wigan will play;

      Community Shield 1 game
      Championship 46 games
      Europa League 6 games at least
      League Cup 1 game at least
      FA Cup 1 game at least
      Total 55 games at least

      Promotion must be Wigan’s priority. So far this season Chelsea have played 68 matches and used 26 players. In view of their much more modest resources, I just can’t see Wigan making the Europa League a priority.

        I’d certainly enjoy a trip to Belgium. It’s near, it’s compact and it’s got a good tradition of football. It’s also got a fantastic variety of beer.

        No Belgian team qualifies direct for the Group Stage. Racing Genk beat Cercle Brugge in the Belgian cup final last week. But the system to choose the other teams is rather complicated. The league title pool is very tight. Anderlecht and Club Brugge are in the Champions League places – Zulte-Waregem lie third and in a Europa League place.

        The final Europa League place will be decided in a play off between the team placed fourth in the title pool and the winner of the play off between Leuven and Gent; Gent (the Buffaloes) lead 4-1 after the first leg. Currently, Racing Genk lie fourth in the title pool, followed by Standard Liege and Lokeren.

          Chelsea have qualified for the Group Stage as holders.

            Martinez has built up a group of Spanish speaking players who are likely to slip away if Martinez goes;

            Robles
            Alcaraz
            Crusat
            Gomez
            Ramis
            Beausejour
            Golobart
            Campabadal
            Figueroa

            And there’s goalkeeping coach Iñaki Bergara too. Espinoza also speaks Spanish, but grew up in America and is now a US citizen.

              I saw the statue of Herbert Chapman standing outside the Emirates Stadium, just outside the K turnstiles. In fact, it’s so short, I nearly bumped into it – it’s more like a bollard than a statue.

              Anyway, it was nice to see the great man remembered. Wigan could do with a few more statues and fountains.

              I thought the Emirates was a fantastic stadium too. Is it like Oakwell?
