A Review of Wigan vs. Reading: Attacking Flair or Just very Bad Defending?

You could have been mistaken for watching an El Classico given the openness and end-to-end action in the Wigan vs. Reading game. With Wigan heading into the game after back-to-back defeats and missing key players - most notably their captain Gary Caldwell- an open game was on the cards, particularly as Wigan stuck to their infamous 3-4-3 formation.

Can Wigan topple the Reds at Anfield again?

Whilst some people may believe Wigan Athletic have outstayed their welcome in the Premier League, the club continues to prove why they deserve their place in the top flight each year.  However, they do this by not only securing a place within the top 17 of England’s first division, but also by pulling off some quite extraordinary results.

Figueroa beauties (Video)

Remember when Wigan's left back scored Maynor Figueroa scored that incredible goal in 2009 from inside is own half? That was ridiculous. Figueroa has been a regular starter for Wigan going on nearly four years and he does a decent enough job. I think it would be fair to say that manager Roberto Martinez gets the best out of him.

Tip top Al Habsi

In Wigan's game against Stoke earlier this, Ali Al-Habsi made what will probably end up being save of the season. Late in the game, Stoke had a free-kick just outside Wigan's box and up stepped Charlie Adam.

Adam hit the ball well enough but it took a deflection and Al-Habsi was able to shift his body weight in mid-air and get a hand to ball to punch it away, preserving a point for his team. 

I have long believed that Al-Habsi is one of the top three goalkeepers in the Premier League and it is only a matter of time until a big club comes calling. 

Always such a consistent performer, here are the best bits from his excellent 2011/12 season.

Liverpool's love triangle close to unraveling

Liverpool’s pursuit of a new manager has now reached that stage in the film where the protagonist has been stringing along two different people for a while now, accidentally arranging dinner dates with them both at the SAME time, mixing up the gifts he was meant to send so that the kooky, experimental vegan gets a “1001 things you can do with beef” cookbook and the slightly uptight office worker gets some saucy underwear and other hilarious escapades.
