Technically we don't want Wigan to win right?

Something I was just thinking about. If Wigan draw then mathematically Sunderland are safe and mathematically we are 1 win away from paradise. Am I overthinking this or should I be hoping for a 0-0 tomorrow?

Sunderland are without Gardner, Rose, Sessegnon, whilst Fletcher is out through injury and Larrson maybe picking up a knock yesterday. I want Wigan to win so we can relegate Sunderland. Relegating teams is fun.

Depends what you would rather...

a) In our hands
b) In newcastle's hands who's manager is fielding 11 U18's as he wants to be beaten 20-0. It's ok though - he doesn't care

I want Wigan to win, simply because I hate Arsenal and it leaves them NEEDING a win against Newcastle, so they could potentially go all guns blazing and lose.

If we can't beat Sunderland at home we don't deserve CL.

Before we start reeling off ideal scenarios....I would be fucking delighted if Arsenal drop points in any capacity tomorrow night. Its a really tall order so I'm only thinking a long those lines.

Anything Wigan get from the game is 100% good, whatever the knock on effect.

We should be able to dispatch the side Sunderland are able to put out whatever the scenario, if we can't then we won't deserve it simple as.

A draw would keep Spurs and Sunderland fans happy enough although my mate (Sunderland fan) reckons that knowing their luck we'd smash them 7-0 and Wigan would beat villa 4-0 meaning they go down on level points but -1 on GD.

Ha Ha Ha - I'd love it if we went goal crazy on Sunday coz I'm gonna be there!!!!!!

I was comparing a draw with arsenal compared to arsenal winning and therefore sunderland not trying against us. Was a bit confusing, I admit :)

If Arsenal draw with Wigan and then beat Newcastle, we finish fifth unless we beat Sunderland by a massive margin.

No way josé, I want The Shit to crumble against Wigan.

Nope, don't think that's right - we'd be fourth by a point in that scenario, I think?

They'll finish fifth if we beat Sunderland 1-0.

As long as they drop points I couldn't give a shit. If I had to pick then I would pick whatever is worse for the scum. We'll take care of Sunderland no matter what position they are in.
