Wigan Safe!

Confined to the relegation zone for a large part of the season, everyone assumed that he would be going down with his friend James Burrow, whose great work at Presron was going frustratingly fruiteless.

Nevertheless,Austins agenda was to save the Latics from releagtion, and 2 games to go, sitting deep in 18th place, he got his wish granted.
With Liverpool away and Manuinited home for their last 2 games, and with Preston on some fine form, Wigan were all but written off.

Wigan changed to a hard 4 - 5 - 1 defensive and changed everything to defensive tactics and scenarios, and went to Anfield bizzarely confident.

The Reds were crowned champions of England, winning the league and FA Cup, and they sought to finish the season on a high,hoping for a high scoring win over relegation candidates Wigan.
They did need the win though, as Southampton were just one point behind....

The game started with the expected Liverpool goal, and confidence was high as the hosts looked for more, but a remarkable comeback would soon take place.

A long ball from the keeper caught Gekas in the middle of the penalty area, and he punished the linesman by scoring the miles wide offside goal.

1 - 1, and he grabbed his second early in the second half, a Hleb ground cross finding him free.

Then a specatular shot from Ballack went straight in.....3 - 1, and the 2 wigan fans watching hugged and kissed each other like the gays they were...

Morale was up, but the team needed one more win to cement their place in the division, and the match came at home to start studded United.

The match started unbeleivably, 3 quick fire goals paving the way for a romping of United, but some great saves by the keeper stopped the rout, and a compensation goal gave the game a more respecatble scoreline.

Wigan was safe, and the manager was overjoyed, the fans made a ***** video, and the 3 relegated teams clawed each other at their losses, but as all the dust cleared...Wigan lived to fight another day...or more accurately, another season

i've no doubt this boy will be in brazil's national team. This is a signing requested by me last year. As you all know we are a club with very limited resourses, but we never give up the fight.
