Rain On Wigan’s Parade

I was supposed to be at this home match but the match was rescheduled when Wigan made it to the FA Cup Final. So instead I was watching the first-half from home because I couldn’t sleep due to jet lag.

The match was refereed by Mike Dean, the bugger who refereed 16 past matches for us but only one win and he looked determined to add to that biased tally when he ignored fouls made on the Gunners. He awarded a free-kick which Maloney converted and drew Wigan level with us just before half-time. Poldi had earlier given us the lead.

We didn’t start the second-half well but soon got back into it. Theo bundled our second goal, Poldi scored his second to put the match and Premier League survival beyond Wigan’s reach and Ramsey finally scored Arsenal’s fourth.

We must win at Newcastle and hope for the Toffees to give Moyes a win for his last match in charge of them so that we can finish third and avoid Champions League play-off. It’s all in our and Everton’s hands now... Don’t we all now wish we had scored more against QPR and won over ManUre?
