Everything Goes To Plan In FA Cup Fourth Round Tie!
After reaching the Carling Cup Final Wigan were host to championship side Sheffield United in an FA Cup fourth round tie, which both teams would love to progress through and reach the next round! Wigan were favorites for the victory following their superb run of form with just one defeat in 13 games!

Wigan 2 - 0 Sheffield United
S.Caldwell (5) N'Zogbia (82)
With two goals at either side of this game Wigan dominated throughout but just couldn't find the net when they attacked! Steven Caldwell popped up yet again as he continued his fine scoring record for a center back when he headed the ball home in just 5minutes! The next goal wasn't Until N'Zogbia scored after assisting the first one. 82 minutes was when he found the net with a fantastic right footed effort! N'Zogbia went on to claim man of the match award!

Al Habsi Stars As Wigan Win
Wigan returned to the Premier League fixtures today and knowing if they won and Manchester City didn't then they could in fact go fourth! Everton were ninth and with a win could also propel themselves up the table, this was set out to be an exciting match.

Wigan 1 - 0 Everton
Howard (Og.53)
A goalkeeping howler as Everton's Time Howard managed to flap at a Neymar striker and push the ball into his own net after 53 minutes! Everton were in good display against Wigan and kept Al Habsi busy at all times as they didn't look threatened at the other end! But Howards blunder was the only goal of the game and Wigan move to 5th!

(Al Habsi in top form for Wigan as they beat Everton and move 5th!)

Liverpool Get The Better Of An Incisive Wigan!
Wigan new they were set for a tough time after picking up a win against Everton they were set to face Liverpool and then Manchester City! and then Liverpool again in the FA Cup! Thats right, it was the time for their tough run which would see them play the big 6 in a row! Wigan were in it for the long run!

Liverpool 3 - 1 Wigan
Barnetta (17) Suarez (55) Carroll (63) - Neymar (88)
Liverpool took an incisive win over Wigan and looked strong from the start as Barnetta scored after 17minutes! Suarez couldn't double the lead until 55th minute and Carroll made it 3-0 after 63 minuets! Neymar pulled a late goal back for Wigan as a consolation as they dropped to a 3-1 defeat! Wigan had to reshape quickly as they faced Liverpool again in just over a weeks time!

Wigan Hold City To Draw!
Next hard game on the agenda, Manchester City, away from home, Wigan were always going to struggle but their recent form should give them a little motivation! Mancini's big spending side spent £50million in January alone whilst Wigan spent nothing! Would the money bags of city beat Wigan?

Manchester City 2 - 2 Wigan
Farfan (5, 26) - Neymar (9) Rodallega (43)
Wigan claimed a more than creditable draw in this game as the sides both had a goal within ten minutes! New city boy Farfan but City 1 up in just under 5 minutes but some sloppy defender allowed premier league top scorer Neymar to add to his outstanding season total! Farfan put City back ahead with his second goal of the game just after half way through the first half but with 2minutes till half time Rodallega scored to level the scores! the second half stayed the same as Wigan earnt a point at the City of Manchester Stadium!

(Both keepers were kept busy today and done their jobs wonderfully!)

Wigan Earn Hard Thought Replay!
Wigan faced Liverpool for the third time this season as they met in the FA Cup fifth round at Anfield Liverpool had already beaten Wigan twice and an upset wasn't too far from the cards but the bookies had this down as a dominate Liverpool win!

Liverpool 1 - 1 Wigan
Carroll (46) - Caldwell (49)
Both teams started this game slow and we saw the game go all the way through the first half before we saw a goal! Wigan started the second half slowly and Liverpool took advantage to this as Carroll netted within 30 seconds of the restart! Wigan had it all to do now, but from a corner just 3minutes later Steven Caldwell netted his 10th goal of the season and earnt Wigan a draw and a replay back at the DW Stadium!

(Evenly contested game as Wigan hold Liverpool!)

Dominant Wigan Beat 2nd Place United!
Wigan had made this month tough for themselves as they had to play yet another game after drawing to Liverpool last game and earning a replay. But before the Carling Cup Final and the Fifth Round Replay in the FA Cup Wigan had to host Manchester United in the League, Would it be Second Time lucky for Neville?

Wigan 3 - 2 Manchester United
Rodallega (11, 21) N'Zogbia (46) - Rooney (14) Figueroa (Og.60)
Wigan had beat Manchester United and Neville had done just what he wanted to do, beat his old manager and team, whilst it wasn't at old trafford like the dream he still managed to win against them! Wigan were ahead early on after 11 minutes after Rodallega scored but Rooney was quick to respond as he hit back within 3 minutes! But 10minutes after his first Rodallega netted his second to give Wigan a 2-1 lead at half time! Wigan hit Manchester United hard after the break like Liverpool did in the FA Cup and it payed off as prolific winger N'Zogbia found the net from a tight angle and Wigan were 3-1 up and cruising! Figueroa netted an own goal passed Al Habsi with half an hour to go to put a nervy twist to the game! But Wigan went defensive and saw the emphatic win out! Wigan 3 - 2 Manchester United!

(Big Hugo Rodallega scores his second infront the Wigan fans against United!)

Fantastic result against the Red Devils, only conceded the one goal scored by them, poor Figueroa, great draw against Liverpool away as well!!

Wigan Set For Carling Cup Final Showdown!

Today Wigan were on the verge of creating history as they entered the Carling Cup Final against Fulham. Wigan had only ever been in one Carling Cup Final before where they ended runners up after losing 4 - 0 to a strong Manchester United side which Wigan manager Gary Neville lifted the trophy. Today he was set to try and win it with Wigan, 5 years on from their last final. But would they be able to hold of Fulham who were entering their first ever Carling Cup Final. It was set to be a thrilling contest.

Neville Has The Quality To Win It!

Sir Alex Ferguson spoke out for Manchester United on his views of Gary Neville for the first time since his appointment at Wigan and had only praise for the young manager! Sir Alex saw his side lose to Wigan just a few weeks ago 3-2 at the DW Stadium in a shocking game and now Wigan are sitting in fifth in the league. He had this to say:

'Well I was never surprised that Gary was going to quit United and take up managing but I was surprised to see him take the Wigan job, I thought like many footballers who take on managing at lower clubs he could fail and lose his whole career, but he has proved me wrong and from an excellent right back to an excellent manager. He has easily achieved more than Martinez did in his time at Wigan and Gary hasn't even been there a year. I believe Gary has what it takes to win the Carling Cup final for the Wigan faithful! He really is a key to their success!

(Neville and Ferguson celebrate Carling Cup Win against Wigan back in 2006!)

Wigan Crowned Carling Cup Winners..!

Wigan 1 - 0 Fulham
Figueroa (70)
In a thrilling contest it came down to just one late goal to win the Carling Cup. Both teams in action to try and win their first ever Carling Cup and Wigan had done it! It was a 70th Minute Maynor Figueroa strike which left Fulham fans heartbroken as Gary Neville's men claimed an emphatic cup run victory and seal a place in Europe for next season! Wigan fans and board heaped praise upon Neville after the game and said this was their proudest moment of their history!

(Figueroa congratulated as he wins the game for Wigan and the Carling Cup!)

Neville 'Delight' Over Hard Earnt Cup Victory!

Gary Neville has heaped praise upon his team for their fantastic cup effort and cup run! He said they never gave in and never gave any of their opponents a look into the game! Wigan met, Charlton, Stoke, Burnley, Nottingham Forrestt, Aston Villa to get to the final and their was a cagey extra time against Stoke but they still didn't give up!

'We were brilliant and I think any team can take inspiration from how my lads have worked this season! We are flying high in the league and still manage to pull off an exquisite cup run and nail it in the final to cap it all off. This is one of my finer moments in life by far! I thank the board for giving me this opportunity in the first place and the players for their excellent workload.
