Yeah. From a selfish point of view, I was hoping that they'd get hit for 4 or 5 and go into Tuesday with heads down. Now extra time would be a good idea!
Wish we had the financial clout to compete with clubs like Wigan.
Look at all those Wigan players crying and hugging on the pitch. Guess the last laugh's on them, because we get to play Standard Liege in a couple of months' time!
Congrats to Wigan, deserved the win. Quite possibly Martinez's last fixture at Wigan I'd imagine.
Citeh were a complete disgrace, turned up expecting to win and it showed. Players walking round all over the pitch, nobody willing to take any responsibility or introduce any tempo. They didn't seem to have any sort of game plan and the changes made were ineffectual. Mancini arguably deserved the sack anyway but surely his time is up now.
As far as it goes for us this doesn't change the fact that if we play well on Tuesday we will win. Wigan played well today but they are still a bottom-half team and not suddenly a top team.
