Wigan Athletic 1 Paul Jewell 0

Wigan Athletic 2 Derby 0

A home tie today saw us beat Derby County (the worst ever premier league team) Scharner and Valencia the scorers. Now the script was all written for Derby to come to the JJB and beat us. With Ex Wigan manager Paul Jewell at the helm, no win in 21 games and a team that have virtually been relegated since October i was certain we'd lose.

The first half was pretty nonedescript, not many chances and not much happening, the second half was slightly better, Scharner got the first goal on 60 minutes with Antonio Luis Valencia scoring a peach shortly afterwards. Can't understand why Bruce won't drop Heskey. He's got an abysmal scoring record (1 goal all season!!) and tbh just doesn't look up for the fight, at least he's seen what a lazy shit Bent is and has dropped him for the only marginally better Marlon King. Sibierski got 10 minutes or so, but for me he has to be starting with King (the best of a bad bunch)

Best of luck to Arsenals Eduardo. He suffered a horrific broken leg today against Birmingham. Hope he makes as quick a recovery as possible and is able to get back to entertaining us once again whilst playing superb football with Arsenal.
