Originally posted by invigorateI think thats very unfair on wigan. from what I have seen they play mixed football. I went up there when they were in div 1 and they hammered us 5-0. Had a bit on them after that as I thought they were a top notch side. The last 2 seasons have not seen me change that opinion.
I agree, glad to see west ham win. Lets keep the football playing teams in the top league - no offence to Watford, Sheffield Utd and Wigan but the game is better on the turf, rather than above it.
They are well managed and play good football. can see them challenging for europe rather than being in the relegation mixer.

All 3 of the teams you name play 'football' (admittedly, some better than others)...
The Hornets and The Blades got tagged 'long-ball merchants' when Taylor and Bassett were the respective managers, and that system did the job then.. I've got to say that from what I've seen of Watford over the last two seasons they're a decent outfit who have been unlucky this season so far. We can't score penalties, that's been our downfall... and why you included Wigan mystifies me... they're not a fashionable club granted, but Jimmy Jewel has put together a decent set of lads up there.
I'd urge you to form your own opinions rather than look at League tables and assume everything.
Originally posted by infomastWhen it comes to The Champions League... Liverpool, Chelsea, and ManYoo all have a good shout, but Arsenal will once again prove to be wanting when it's crunch time... and as much as I'd like Celtic to do well, they don't have any strength in depth.
CSKA is still on top.
No-one's tipping AC this year, they're having a torrid time in Serie A, but they'll be there or there abouts in the CL.
