The Egg

Doesn’t he nearly always give his shirts away?

Canvey Island only scored late on I think. Some babysitter heading past Stillie. Possibly my darkest day watching Latics.

Ellington v Luton 2002

£28 for that ‘stand’ at Cesspool. Rip off.

The same way they gave Crouch that first against Liverpool after it hit De Zeeuw, Pollitt, the bar and then Pollitt again.

1) With Martinez as manager your season has been exceptionally inconsistent, how much of a problem is this for you guys when your getting wins at home against the big teams, namely Chelsea but losing against the little teams, namely Birmingham?

As with any club there are teams that we must aim to beat in order to get to where we want to be. Unfortunately these are the teams we are losing to (hull, wolves, birmingham, portsmouth) Hopefully it won’t be something that costs us too much because with a few more players we have the potential to be a good side.

2) Heskey’s left, Valencia’s left. Gomez, Rodallega, Scotland etc… have arrived, who’s impressed you the most and why?

From the new signings – Diame and Thomas. Gomez was ok on Saturday but seems to want too much time on the ball which you don’t get in the PL. Scotland is working hard but seems low on confidence. A winning goal tomorrow will hopefully solve that. ;) Diame and Thomas though have been superb. Diame especially. N’Zogbia looks really good and Scharner is playing pretty well too.

3) On the other side of that coin, who’s been your most dissapointing player of the season?

I would say Scotland. You can’t have players up front who aren’t scoring in this league.

4) What sort of team can we be expecting to face when the teams line-up tomorrow night?

We’ll go 4-3-3 (or 4-5-1 as it seems to be to me). More than likely with the same XI as Saturday.

5) So, moving onto your season; what’s your hopes and where do you actually believe you will finish

A little more consistency (the good kind) and we could easily finish top 10 I think. I’d be happy with anything from 8th to 14th though really providing there is no last day drama.

6) I’m going to steal this one from last years Spyin’ Kop; Taking one player from our defence, midfield and attack which three Liverpool players would you like to see sign for Wigan tomorrow if money was no option and Why?

Agger – real solid player who would sure our defence up no end
Babel – don’t understand why he doesn’t get the game time he deserves at Anfield. Cracking player with pace, a good cross and an equally good shot
Torres – do I need to explain?

7) If you’ve seen Liverpool at all this season, what one Wigan Athletic player do you think would bring some improvement to our team?

I think N’Zogbia would fit in well because Kuyt seems to be playing wide and is far from a wide player.

8) 15th and 18th in the form league suggests both are teams are playing pretty poorly at the moment, who do you think will come out on top tomorrow evening?

I’d like to say us, but I think a draw is the best we can hope for. The ‘big club, little club’ attitude will always hinder us at places like Anfield. Just look at last years game for example. Best side, beaten by a poor decision.

9) Finally, I have to mention it, Figueroa’s goal… Goal of the season?

Distance wise definitely. Sometimes I think team goals deserve more credit than they get, but it’ll certainly be up there.

Didn’t really study the kit much, just thought it could have been the white one from the 80’s.

I’ll pop one in the post for ya
