Manchester City/Wigan

DarkNite · 03-28-10, 10:20 PM

I take Manchester city at home.

xGrr · 03-28-10, 10:31 PM

This is a must win for them if they want to challenge the 4th spot to me they cannot afford to drop points in the next 3 games because after that they face man utd, arsenal, villa and tottenham.

TurkzZ · 03-28-10, 11:04 PM

Home win

bostonbruins · 03-28-10, 11:15 PM

might be on the draw / over here

minet123 · 03-28-10, 11:23 PM

Man City needs this bad look for easy home win but a tight start

flyingillini · 03-28-10, 11:32 PM

They should win fairly easy but wouldn't surprise me if they are in for a tough game. Might end up in a tie but I see them winning 4-1.

The old metality of loosers has returned to city for stay. For Wigan, its just an opportunity to run away from relegation. City is a gambler's paradise.

would like to play this, but it's a no play for me

Man City and the Over 2.5

Masu485 · 03-29-10, 01:33 AM

O/U is 3-7 in L10. was tempted to take the over also, but still undecided.

Gargamel · 03-29-10, 01:36 AM

Clear no play for me. Not sure about City's form and you never know which Wigan side will turn up.

kmarinouofm · 03-29-10, 01:47 AM

wigan +1.5 as of now is the right side of this game..

I took

Manchester City (1.345)
FC Kaiserslautern (1.526)

For a slightly better than even money parlay.

Giuvara · 03-29-10, 02:14 AM

With Adebayor returning,City will win this,but i don't trust them on the handicap.Would try though Adebayor or Tevez anytime scorers and the over 2,5 goals.

PAULYPOKER · 03-29-10, 02:17 AM

I thought this thread title said Manchester city wagon

tigerbalm13 · 03-29-10, 02:45 AM

I hope Wigan win, helps Liverpools chances to get top 4.

Arsenal · 03-29-10, 03:10 AM

I am on Wigan +1.5

pouroupoupou · 03-29-10, 03:15 AM

City have won only once in the last 9 games against Wigan.But I'm on them tonight
City -1.5

psv777ua · 03-29-10, 03:17 AM

On total over 2.5

brumbies · 03-29-10, 04:46 AM

This might be a meaningless nugget, but I thought I'd just throw it out there anyway.

2 seasons ago, at the end of Feb 08, Man City lost to Everton 0-2 at home. Their next game was against, guess who, Wigan! It was a home game and they could only draw 0-0 with Wigan.

Fast forward to the present day. Man City lost to Everton 0-2 at home last week, their 1st home loss of this season's premiership. Tonight they are hosting Wigan.

So many similarities. The loss at home of 0-2 against Everton. And then a home game against Wigan next.

If history were to repeat itself, it will be a 0-0 draw tonight.

Besides, Man City lost at home for the 1st time this season and in doing so became the last team in the league to lose a home game. I would think that they'd love to go unbeaten at home for the season, and having come so far, that loss to Everton must really sting.

Coupled with the distraction of the Eastlands row, I think that the teams' morale has to be pretty low. Just look at Everton, they could only manage a feeble 0-0 draw with Wolves at the weekend. If the distraction affected Everton, it can affect Man City too. They will bounce back, but not so fast, at least not against Wigan tonight.

Best bet for me is to take the under 2.5, wigan+1.5, draw option and a small wager on pick the score of 0-0.

That was my initial lean, good write up

Goat Milk · 03-29-10, 07:24 AM

really? I took the over. I mean Adebeyor back and Tevez is red hot. This team has something to prove. I think Man City scores at least 2-3 goals.

thanks brumbies, Draw has more valuable odds for me, 1-1 is also a choice.

you know what, for the sake of forcing a play, I'm going with my first feeling, has to be a Man City win here, going to take it on the alt line and hope to cash half at plus money and push the other with a 2-0 win here.
