Wigan Athletic v Aston Villa MATCH POSTPONED

[jonzy85]

What gives me hope in this one is that Wigan got a good result last week against Everton keeping a clean sheet.

It seems to be their pattern that they can never follow up a good result with another one.

On the other hand I think our win last week may have caused some players to refind their confidence.

What are the chances of this one being called off? Due to be a lot of snow up there I think.

Tickets have come and (not including Wembley twice) is first away game since Sunderland in the CC last year, so really looking forward to it. Hopefully a 3-0 win, with all the goals being scored at the away end.

Though heavy snow forecast in Birmingham and Wigan for Saturday could ruin my plans.

We're off up there too. Could be interesting with the weather!

Think our line up for this one will be very interesting.  I have no doubt that GH will play Emile, and rightly so after his performance last week. So what will he do then - play Ash behind Emile with two holding midfielders (NRC and Hogg) and two wingers(Downing and Marc) thus leaving Gabby on the bench, or will he play Gabby alongside Emile giving us more forward threat, and if so what does he do with Ashley?  Also if he plays Gabby and Emile does he feel he needs more creativity in midfield and plays wee Barry - if so who is left out?

Very interesting - I await the team announcement with interest!!

Confident we'll win this one. Wigan are bloody dreadful.

1-0 to us, Heskey or Gabby in the 1st half.

However, once again Houllier will look desperately cold on the bench. And his eyes will protrude slightly when he shifts them about.

[JJ-AV]

It's only £20, think I'm gonna go.

There's no chance of it being off is there?

The same fixture last year had me in town at 7am waiting for hear on the radio if it was on or not, I can't be arsed with that again.

[hawkeye]

I guess he will play the same team as saturday with NRC coming in for Bannan or Hogg, Gabby on the bench

Pissing it down with snow up here in Manchester. Snow forecast over the weekend too.

Could be off.

Hope if they're going to call it off they do so before we leave on the coaches at 10.00am.

Chorley and Formby clear today

Can just imagine being stuck in egg-chasing land, with the game being called off. Still, at least it's the more entertaining form of egg-chasing.

Work Christmas party tomorrow. Bet I feel great on Saturday morning.

[Des Little]

I'm in Liverpool tomorrow night and heading over on Saturday.  If it's off I won't be best pleased that's for sure.

A freezing cold, fairly dull 1-1 draw I reckon.  Happy Christmas!

[Toronto Villa]

They play in front of an empty stadium for the most part which can't be good for their morale. I think our pace and power will be too much for them and we'll see it through 2-0. Our first clean sheet in what seems an eternity. I expect Albrighton will cause them fits with Downing and Gabby to take advantage.
