We should start a thread on fantasy football. I swapped Odemwingie out for Saha last night and made him my captain. 42 points from Saha today! Very pleased with myself. I also have Robert Huth.

Freeview weekend too. Nice.

Is that just a one off thing?

**Sullivinho** · 05/03/2011, 5:35 PM

Fairly rare I'd say, but they've done it before alright.

Do wigan have the most gingers in the PL? Ginger warfare.

Here comes the fish!

**IsMiseSean** · 05/03/2011, 6:36 PM

Created a great chance at the end, unlucky not to finish it!

**DannyInvincible** · 05/03/2011, 6:38 PM

Came on after 83 minutes and showed a few good touches for the brief time he was involved. Was played through in stoppage time but missed by a lick of paint shooting across goal. In fairness, he had a defender close to his side and it was from a fairly tight angle with Hart at the near post.

**paul_oshea** · 05/03/2011, 7:39 PM

i only saw a few runs, but for a big lad, he doesn't look lanky, and he has pace and strength. for a guy his size thats a great thing to have.

Sammon eager to build on impressive Wigan debut

About to come on against Spurs with 25 minutes to go. 0-0 and Wigan have been the better side.

**paul_oshea** · 02/04/2011, 3:28 PM

hows mccarthy doing?

**Charlie Darwin** · 02/04/2011, 3:36 PM

Doing his usual steady job. Had one hairy moment when he was caught in the edge of possession on the edge of his own box but otherwise solid. Lennon's come on for Spurs and now Wigan are hanging on.

**Noelys Guitar** · 02/04/2011, 3:49 PM

Should have scored there. Gets into some great scoring positions.

**Charlie Darwin** · 02/04/2011, 3:54 PM

McCarthy and Sammon just linked up beautifully but Di Santo didn't anticipate the cross. Could've been the goal.

That would have been a great goal. Sammon looks right at home in the Premiership.

**Stuttgart88** · 03/04/2011, 3:34 PM

He does, doesn't he? MOTD commentator says he should have scored, but he hit the shot, hard, crisp and low, maybe a bit too straight. Gomez made a comfortable save but it wasn't a bad effort. Good low cross a few minutes later. Fair play to him.

Teleghraph this morning described McCarthy as "increasingly impressive" or something like that.

**Charlie Darwin** · 03/04/2011, 3:46 PM

He overhit his first touch a fraction and was stretching when he hit the shot. Looking back on Di Santo's chance, I think if he'd got his foot around it a touch more it was a certain goal. Unlucky.
