Steve

Interesting combination.

I don't think thats being too optimistic personally. He's right, as we have seen in a few pre season games, the squad has plenty of work to do before we are that unstoppable force.

LoopyLatic from Wiganer.net has kindly answered some questions for our opening Premier League clash with Wigan! How long have you supported Wigan and what made you become a fan? Supported Wigan for 8 years, since I was eight, when I really started getting not football. I was born in Wigan, well Billinge to be precise, which is the reason I support Wigan. What’s the best type of Wigan pie? As I moved away to Chester when I was 4, I sadly haven't had many opportunities in terms of Wigan pies, apart from when I go to games. Do you think Wigan will be involved in another relegation battle and how do you always manage to save yourself even though you are the most likely to go down? I don't think that we will struggle this season in terms of relegation threat. I just can't see it after the world class quality of the team towards the end if last season. However, I disagree wit some Wigan fans saying that we are contenders for European football. If we can keep Martinez at he club for the foreseeable future, however, I think that it is a strong possibility in a few seasons time. Regarding the whole Moses situation, Do you think he is Chelsea quality? I think Moses is a great young talent, but up against Chelsea's selection of wingers? Mata, hazard, Marin, etc? You could probably buy a blanket for a fiver to warm the bench instead. If you were to sell Moses to Chelsea, how much do you think a fair price would be? I think 9-10 million is a fair price, considering he has only really had 1 good, albeit inconsistent, season in the premiership, although he has bags of potential. Would you of considered Romelu Lukaku on loan before he moved to West Brom? I like Lukaku, but I am not sure if he would have fit into our style. Might have been worth a punt on loan though. Does Martinez plan to start with the 343 they turned to in the run-in last season? I don't see any reason why Martinez wouldn't play the 343, after the success we have had with it. It has the added advantage that I think we haven't been Sussed out, and the formation is difficult to counteract. Who is your favourite Chelsea player and why? Lampard is my favourite Chelsea player, as he was a legend to me in my youth. One of my all time favourite England players, I remember my first ever football shirt was the 2006 world cup shirt, with Lampard's name on the back. Finally, your prediction for the game and who will score? Tomorrow, I like to think the players will want revenge for the defeat at Stamford bridge last season from the 2 offside goals, and that with lots of new signings, the Chelsea squad may not have quite gelled yet. I'm going to be cheeky and say a 2-1 win to Wigan, with Di Santo, McCarthur, and Mata (if he plays) to score. Click here to view the article

LaticsLad1996 from Wiganer.net has kindly answered some questions for our opening Premier League clash with Wigan! How long have you supported Wigan and what made you become a fan? What Made Me Become A fan, Was watching Latics V Chelsea in our first premier league season. What’s the best type of Wigan pie? I think steak pie from Galloways. How did your pre-season go, and where do you think you could of improved? Only improvement could of been, not losing to Mallorca and Celta Vigo which was a bit of a confidence knocker. Do you think Wigan will be involved in another relegation battle and how do you always manage to save yourself even though you are the most likely to go down? I don’t think we'll be in a relegation battle again this season. I think it's the crowd that keeps the lads fighting at the end of the season. Regarding the whole Moses situation, Do you think he is Chelsea quality? I don’t think Moses is Chelsea quality because he has terrible decision making. Your wings have got to much talent for him to be considered in my personal opinion. If you were to sell Moses to Chelsea, how much do you think a fair price would be? About 10 million would be a fair amount. Because he’s not as good as N'Zogbia but he isn't a Jason Scotland either. Have you been active in the transfer window? Would you like to see more players come in? Like to See Another goalkeeper come in, I don’t really want a 40 year old as back up to Ali. Would you of considered Romelu Lukaku on loan before he moved to West Brom? I would consider Romelu Lukaku because he has had stiff competion to compete with in Torres and Drogba. Which means he has had great players to learn from. Does Martinez plan to start with the 343 they turned to in the run-in last season? Martinez will probably start with 3-4-3 as it opens up the play for our lads to move around. Where do you think you will finish this season? Around 14th - 15th. Who is your favourite Chelsea player and why? Thibaut Courtois is my favorite Chelsea player because me and my family went to Madrid to watch Atletico vs Rayo and he was a top class player and he was only 19. Definitely a Cech replacement. Finally, your prediction for the game and who will score? 3-2 to the Latics. Kone, Boselli and Moses or a Gomez Hattrick. Click here to view the article

Quality stuff

After I finish work tonight I will be going through the league and deleting anyone who has not posted their team names up.

Use this thread to discuss all completed transfers for opposition clubs!

Welcome

Either way it was a nice gesture. He gave it away and it made for one very happy young boy.

Need to sort the defense out.

Come on blues!

Why bump this? So pointless.... At least contribute to the thread.

It is pretty much like a real football table. Each week you play against another team and who ever has more points collected for the round will get the three points.

Agreed. ban him!
