I went for a draw, our record isn't the best against them.

[luke25]

2-2, two goals for Bent, don't care for them, get the feeling they'll grab an injury time equaliser though

[Rigadon]

A win would be lovely so we could all toddle off for an early summer.  Wigan won't come to frustrate us, they need wins, which should suit us.  I've gone for a draw because this season has been, well, this season.

[KevinGage]

2-2 from 0-2 down.

We can't defend for shit, but neither can they.
Bright start from Wigan.We nick a goal back before half time, completely dominate the second half but can only manage one more.

We haven't beaten Wigan at VP yet since they came up, and I don't see that changing on Gary Mac's watch. Still, a draw should just about be enough to see us safe.

4-1 Win.

Bent x 3 and Young Penalty (that keeper saves, he smashes the rebound against the bar it rebounds into his face and it trickles in).

Poor performance last time out at Boggies but still did enough to win it and 4 undefeated before that with decent performances in the main.

Wigan at home "should" hold no fear for us.

[CJ]

Our home record against them is pretty crap and they played well last weekend against Everton.  Martinez will have them up for it as he believes we are well beatable (he more or less said so on MOTD at the weekend) and they're fighting for survival. However 2 early goals by us will see their heads drop in the first half. They'll scrap back in the second half to get level but for a change we'll actually run out to win from a leading position. 3-2 to us

[The Left Side]

1-1 with Bent scoring and a Dunne own goal for me!

[VillaZogmariner]

We're due to beat these, and we're also due to give someone a damn good hiding.

Aston Villa 6-1 Wigan Athletic

Bent 12, 43, 79
A. Young 56 (Pen - he'll be a ****** and not let Bent go for the hat trick)
Agbonlahor 89
Makoun 86

N'Zogbia 67

[Edvard Remberg]

Depend if we let GMac in charge - we will give them 3 goals at the end. So if we score more than 3, than we will win.

Famous last words and all that

But I can't see how even McAllister can bugger this one up.

Surely got to be a win, and it should be comfortable.

Personally, I'd get gabby out, I'd get Ash out, I'd get Albrighton in and I'd put Delph in and go 4-5-1

I am sick and tired of these two (others as well, but these two in particular) taking the piss out of the club and fans and to be honest, I hope I dont see either of them in a Villa shirt ever again.

Gabby is such a disappointment, I really thought 3 years ago he was going to be the real deal. Unfortunately it seems he is just a player with Vassells ability and Luke Moores attitude.

[Des Little]

I've gone for a draw but I fear the worst.  After Saturday's hideous showing, I wouldn't trust McAllister to run a bath let alone a football team.

[hawkeye]

We will score the 3rd and final goal on 90 minutes and all the players will rush to celebrate with G Mcalister.

[JJ-AV]

Loss.
