Wigan Athletic 0 Newcastle United 1

Thousands of Bar codes turned up at the DW Stadium to witness there team get a scrappy goal and go on to win the game 1-0.


Guess you could class that as a sort of synopsis of what the match was...However for the purpose of this Blog I will go into further detail.


We did not get off to the best start for 2011 however with all the doom and gloom after the result, There are places where we can still pick points up and we are not down yet ( Throughout Wigan and the Martinez haters, You would have thought we where already)


Ameobie's goal came from a shot deflected by Al Habsi, I thought it was safe, It wasn't obviously and Ameboie scored an early goal which we couldn't recover from.


The closest we came was a Header from that man Rodallega. 


It also did'nt go un-noticed that on Match of The Day, They decided to show a nothing booking by Watson but did not show a shocking tackle by that bastard Joey Barton.


Wigan Athletic have a lot of work to do ahead of Bolton on Wednesday, I am praying and crossing all my fingers and toes that we find a win and 3 points at there place.
