Forget about Burnley. Let's trash Wigan.
4-0 wigan.
Valencia 3-2 Wigan
Seriously though i can't see us coming away with more than a point if we don't improve on tonight... That was a seriously poor performance.
3-0 Wigan. Bramble '1 '2 '3
we won the last 4 times against wigan and i made the matchday thread in all four.
hope we dont lose
have a good feeling about this .. we might get a draw

No, Bramble '1, '1, '2. 30 seconds is the minimum time between kick off between goals, someone of his quality can just blast it into the top corner from the halfway line.
If we play like we did against Burnley, my money is on Wigan! 
I am superstitious VidaRed should have opened this thread. No offense Maciek
That's for the last time, I swear, just wanted to use these logos and kits
And, don't be superstitious, but if you are, I opened thread for Wigan game in May, when we won 1-2.
United to win 1-0
Macheda to at least be on the bench.
Vidic should be back
Vidic should be back
1-0 win
Right, no messing around. We play our best team on form so far this season. IMO, it's:
Foster
O'Shea
Evans
Vidic
Evra
Nani
Fletcher
Scholes
Giggs
Rooney
Berbatov
SUBS: Kuszczak, Neville, Brown, Carrick, Anderson, Park, Owen.
On paper, that's a very good team, bench strong too. Now we need to put it into practice.

O'Shea
Evans
Vidic

Giggs
Rooney
Berbatov
SUBS: Kuszczak, Neville, Brown, Carrick, Anderson, Park, Owen.

Team should be...
GK: Foster
RB: O'Shea
CB: Brown
CB: Evans
LB: Evra
RM: Valencia
CM: Carrick
CM: Fletcher
LM: Park
CF: Rooney
CF: Berbatov
Subs: PIG, Fabio, De Leat, Gibson, Anderson, Giggs, Owen
1-2 I hope, Rooney & Berbatov
Is it just me that suddenly looks at our team and just doesn't think it looks all that great?
GK: Foster
RB: O'Shea

I would like to see Vidic there, Fergie said he may be fit for Wigan.
I was looking at the worst case scenario
------------------Foster-------------
O'Shea-----Vidic(?)----Evans-----Evra
Valencia---Fletcher---Scholes-----Nani
-----------Rooney----Berbatov-------
Subs: PIG, Brown, Park, Giggs, Carrick, Anderson, Owen.
SAF has said Vidic has a chance for this game but if he doesn't make it then Brown to partner Evans in defence and another defender (Nev, Fabio, De Laet - for the extra spot on the bench).

need a consistent team with consistent spine
FOSTER
brown

vidic
evra
valencia
carrick
fletcher
nani
berbatov

IMO best team with what we have potentially fit.

I believe that is the best team possible for Wigan.

Wigan look to play the ball on the deck so we should have space to exploit. Fletcher is an absolute necessity though.

Carrick alongside Fletch. He'll play better alongside his Scottish buddy.

Agree with that team.
to OP, its the DW stadium
I almost pissed myself there. We'll bounce back with Scholes and Fletcher back in the side. Maybe just a narrow win though.
Tough game but I'm glad we don't have to wait a week to get Burnley out of our systems.
Thanks, I didn't know that
draw, to continue our sluggish start
We need a really fecking good performance here. We are more than capable of it and it will shut everyone up.
1-1 so everyone writes us off. Then all our injuries to be cleared up and for Ljajic, Diouf and Obertan to put themselves on the map.
Wigan 0
Manchester United 4
Manchester United 4
- Giggs won't play two in a week.
- Park and Anderson need to be dropped.
- Berbatov deserves to start with Owen coming on later when opposition are tired and stretched.
- Carrick should be allowed one more game to prove he can turn his form around.
- Hopefully Vidic and Nani are fit.

Maciek brings bad luck.
Fcuk off.
Three threads last season, two wins (Arsenal at home in CL, Wigan away in PL) and one draw (Arsenal in PL, when we won the title).
Foster
O'Shea - Brown - Evans - Evra
Valencia - Fletcher - Carrick - Nani
Berbatov - Rooney
O'Shea - Brown - Evans - Evra

A must-win game or we're going to be in some trouble just before we face Arsenal next week. It will be a lot tougher than against Burnley, Wigan have a lot more quality and Martinez seems to be a clever manager, despite them losing to Wolves on Tuesday. I admit I'm worried.
