Have you been following the EPL this season? It's pretty typical defending actually, but in this match the finishing was inch-perfect. About half the goals went off the inside of the post and in...

beachesl Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 PREMIER LEAGUE NEWS Wigan players to refund fans after Spurs slaughter By Soccernet staff November 23, 2009 Comment Email Print Wigan Athletic's playing staff have offered to reimburse the entrance fees for all supporters who travelled to White Hart Lane to witness their 9-1 destruction at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. GettyImages The scoreboard says it all at White Hart Lane Spurs equalled the record for goals scored in a Premier League game when producing a ruthless second-half performance, with Jermain Defoe scoring five goals to equal the record jointly held by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer. After suffering such acute embarrassment, Wigan's players will now personally refund the admission price paid by every Latics supporter who attended the game in North London. "We feel that as a group of players we badly let down our supporters yesterday (Sunday), and this is a gesture we have to make and pay them back for their tremendous loyalty," Melchiot told the club's official website. "There's not a lot else to say, just that as a group of professionals we were embarrassed by the way we performed. We feel it was below our standard and this is something we feel we owe to the fans. "Now we have to draw a line under the game, focus completely on training this week and bounce back on Saturday. We are professionals, we will take it on the chin and move on, but it's important that we do not take our supporters for granted." Wigan manager Roberto Martinez said after the game: "It was unacceptable and unexpected. The way we defended in key moments was not good enough. I am embarrassed as it's a result we don't want to be associated with. We need to move on quickly and give a good reaction in the next game."

Not sterling but that means they don't have to worry about playing another Big 4 team until 2010. So they can solify their top 4 position if they continue to play well. Personally I still think Liverpool will catch fire and pass them though. Even though Liverpollo have a difficult schedule coming up, once they get hot they can beat anybody.

canucklefan Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Wigan is maybe the most bizarre team from EPL. I can`t understand how they can beat Chelsea 3-1 then lose 9-1 like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
