A Lawro speaks, with another unfunny Scouser making his predictions too
Wigan v Southampton (FA Cup, 13:30 GMT)
Seeing Southampton change their manager was probably the last thing that Wigan boss Paul Cook wanted to see in the run-up to this tie, because Mark Hughes replacing Mauricio Pellegrino will bring a reaction from the Saints players.
As well as Wigan have done to reach this stage, I think this is where their FA Cup adventure ends this season.
That is not all bad news because it means they can turn their attention to getting promotion out of League One, because before they beat Bradford with a late goal on Wednesday, their form had just started to dip a bit.
**Lawro’s prediction: ** 0-2
John’s prediction: I think if there is a surprise in the FA Cup, it will be in this tie. Wigan have got a lot of momentum behind them, and they have not had an easy run to get here. I fancy them again. 1-0
That’s us done then…
Just lost my virginity … and listened to a presser. I was interested in hearing what Sparky had to say and do you know what …
WE’RE GONNA STAY UP, WE’RE GONNA STAY UP
He spoke with great articulation and with great feeling. We’re in safe hands I tell you. He might not be everyone’s cup of tea (mine included for no other reason that he always comes across as a bit of a boring old fuddy duddy) but I think he’ll do right by us and keep us up. He had lots of positives to say about the team and even more positives about Super Charlie. Apparently there’s a distinct possibility of a West Ham return. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas …

I’ve just the same, albeit shorter, in the Mark Hughes appointed thread.
He actually sounded quite positive.
And he’s going to take the cup seriously as it can give positive energy (got to win the game first mind…)
Strangely confident this, was talking to a bloke who works for EFC this morning through my battered trap and he is doing Leicester for the Cup and a double of Leicester and Wigan this weekend, fuck that we’re winning 2-0 and so will Chelsea.
Alas not going as I feel like boiled shite and I never get ill but I have the ultimate glory fan days off for the Semi and Final.

Ever been on a night out in Wigan? Interesting to say the least. Only out weirded in terms of the locals by their neighbours in Warrington.
1-2 Saints.

Hmm. To pub or not to pub. That is the question.
After last week no way.
Now? Depends on some MBA Marketing Luvvies as to what time they want their meeting tomorrow.
Am so NOT going to a beach bar in a suit & tie at 4pm though
The fact I’m even trying to work out how to get there shows the

Cant see any updates on Yodhidas chances for this game
Any weather updates?
I know the 6:55 train was cancelled which will screw a lot of our fans and saw tweets saying it was clear pop North.
Got drinking/dining/defrosting decisions to make!
Blimey
Wigan not too bad at the moment
But even bigger salute to the 4,000 odd trying to get to Wigan today

I’d pick
Macca
Cedric. Maya Hoedt Bert
Oriel Lemons
JWP Reds
Boufal
Carrillo
But what do I know
It is a free shot at starting Gabbi & Carrillo up front with Chazza due back for wet spam but not sure they would both be right for a high effort game
