Wigan Athletic v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

Do you know what I'd like to see? The second the clock shows 19 for all players, subs, coaches, managers, officials etc as well as all the fans in attendance at the game to stop and applaud for 60 seconds. That would be a final, fitting gesture to Stan for this season.

It feels wonderful to not be that bothered about this one. Though would be nice to get one back on them after losing at home.

I don't think I'd play Bent, given he may leave. So I reckon CNZ for Benteke, with Gabby up front. Gardner and Bowery to come off the bench second half.

Only worth playing Lowton if he's definitely fit.

Who cares but maybe 3-1 to Villa although it would be nice to achieve the elusive clean sheet.

Keep Bent injury free.

Given the stress we've felt all season it is a relief that this game doesn't bare the weight it could potentially have done.

Having said that, it certainly isn't meaningless. I would fucking LOVE to finish 11th.

Song suggestion 1: "My Old Man said talk like Dave Whelan, I said F off father he's a C".

[paulcomben]

Song suggestion 2: (To the tune of Gabby's song) - "Bobby Bobby Bobby Bobby Bobby Martinez, our club's too small, our club's too sma-a-a-all."

[Jimbo]

Have liqueurs been taken?

Song suggestion 3: (To the tune of Di Canio's song) - "Our club's too small for you, Our club's too small for you (repeat)."

[paulcomben]

Song suggestion 4: "We won no cups, we're staying up, doo dah, doo dah."

Looking forward to enjoying this game. First one I will be able to genuinely stress free enjoy for months!
