The image of Boyce carrying out Joseph will live just as long in the memory as the moment he and Caldwell hoisted the fabled trophy aloft. I got a great view of the whole thing on television (or as great as it could have been) and both were emotional moments.

I personally think we are a better side than many in the Prem, but when it’s your time, it’s your time and there isn’t much you can do about it. Still think we might get 38 points – one per game, which would have been enough in seasons past. But the league will quickly be forgotten once the season has subsided.

I think Roberto might stay to see us through our first season in Europe but I wouldn’t begrudge him a move at all. Guess we will find out on Monday.

Thank you so much for dropping by and hope you continue to enjoy the podcast. :)

Avin seen us play since then couldnt care less what league we are in (as 4 the prem it is all about money & survival & as you know there is some dross in there!) it is my ome town & my own club. Regards the final it will be a day I shall never forget (no 1 in 25 years time outside of Wigan will remember us being in the Prem 4 8 years but the heroics of last satdy will be played over & over again!!. The sight of Boycey carrying Joseph out in his arms whilst sheilding his ear to protect him from the noise reduced me to tears (& I fill up now just thinking about it) if ever there was a lasting image that summed up my club & town & what we stand for then look no further!! A very very proud pie eater. Look forward to seein our Lancs freinds aka the 4 B’s ome & away next year + a few trips to the continent, Wigan V Top Italian, German & Spanish clubs would be most appreciated. Ps stay on for a year Bobby & the lads & run riot in the Champs!!

Sorry to see you relegated, but I fancy you to bounce back lactics.

Good luck next year

Of course, profound relief and satisfaction that we are closer to a Europen place and finishing above the Tiny Tots but also a sense of sadness that Wigan are relegated. I’m pretty sure all neutral fans truly respect Wigan, your manager, your football ethos and of course the fact that you put it right up the northern oilers. I had a smile wide as the Nullabor plains as the cup final unfolded. Hope you guys come straight back to the EPL and represent all that’s good in football. Good luck.

Not bad for a rugby town, eh? :)
