Here, how did you get to go Bolton? If you resigned I thought you had to take a team outside the top 4????? That's why I was taking some time to think about who I wanted to go. If I knew Bolton was up for grabs I would have jumped at it.

Dave boy it's all about who you know in this world. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Well just you watch out, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure your rejects don't make it back to the Premiership.

Having said that I'll probably take Southend from promotion contenders to battling relegation before the season is over.

It's cool no doubt I will do a great job on making sure I don't get back to the Premiership. :cool:

Jenkinson Appointed New Wigan Manager.

Wigan currently lying in 11th have decided to change there manager and have appointed unknown Gareth Jenkinson as new boss.

Jenkinson told the press that he hoped to prove himself at the top level with his fist managerial role and take Wigan on to heights never seen at the JJB before. ‘With the backing of the Chairman and the players I hope that this club can soon be considered a settled Premiership team and go on to push for trophies and European football in the near future’


Newcastle (a)

Jenkinson's first game in charge was a tough away gave to Newcastle. Jenkinson’s men where the underdogs and it showed as Newcastle pilled on the pressure in the opening 20 minutes before Martins was put through to fire home from inside the area. On 40 minutes Scott Parker was sent off for a second Yellow and it seemed things could be looking up for Wigan. Then minutes later it could have been two when Milner headed over from close range. The second half started the same as the first and it wasn’t long before Newcastle was 2-0 up and costing Milner crossed in from the right and duff was there to finish. Wigan clawed one back on 61 minutes when Scharner Fired in a strike from 25 years. Then a long ball found the head of angel who flicked on to Camara who finished from 10 yards. On 81 minutes a good run and cross by Teal found Angel who produced a wonder strike to send Jenkinson on to a win in his first game in charge.

Newcastle 2 Wigan 3


Charlton (h)

Next up for Wigan was Charlton at the JJB. The first real chance fell to Clarkson who was 1 on 1 with the keeper but Ashdown was able to save and push the ball to safety. Shortly after Angel Headed well over from 6 yards after a good 1-2 between Teal and Camara. In the second half a couple of half chance with a Dagoberto free kick going over from 25 yards and a header over from Angel going just wide before Henri Camara finished well from 6 Yards to give Wigan a 1-0 lead. Wigan then doubled the lead when Jackson crossed and Angel headed home at the front post. Charlton’s, Clarkson the shot wide from 12 yards to sum up a miserable day for Charlton.

Wigan 2 Charlton 0


Man City (a)

Next up was Man City and early chance in the game feel to Cotterill who crossed in and one of the city defenders nearly put the ball into their own net. A good ball saw samaras through 1 on 1 with the keeper only to rattle the bar. Cotterill then had a 25 yard effort turned over the bar before scoring the winning goal in the 35th minute which was enough for Man City to sack the manger.


WBA (h)

This was a very slow boring first half with no chance on or off target for either side. Wigan started the second half better and soon went 1-0 when Cotterill went down the right and found Angel in the box to head home. Todorov then equalised for WBA with a powerful strike from outside the area. There was chance either end but no one could find the net and the game ended rightly as a draw.

Wigan 1 WBA 1


Fulham (a)

Wigan faced Fulham who straight from kick on pilled on the pressure and was unlucky on a number of occasions not to take the lead with Svensson having the best of the chances. Wigan lucky not to go in behind was lucky when Boa Morte was flagged offside just after the re-start. Fulham finally took the lead when Scharner put the ball past his own keeper. Wigan then hit Fulham on the counter attack and Junker put the ball in the back of the net. Scharner then made up for his earlier Own goal with a great finish at the other end to give Jenkinson another 3 points.

Wigan 2 Fulham 1

Sunderland (a)

Wigan met Sunderland and the couldn’t get off to a worse start when Webster was sent off after 4 minutes after brought down the forward as last man. Sunderland took the lead on 30 mins with Kavanagh open the scoring with a cracker from 30 yards. Sunderland held the lead till the 42nd minute when Dagoberto finished from close. Lawrence then finished well at the back post to give Sunderland the lead once again. Lee McCulloch then crossed for Scharner to level up again before McCulloch himself scored a re-bound off the keeper to seal another victory for Wigan.

Wolves (a) FA Cup

This was a game which Wigan dominated but just couldn’t find the net. They did finally take the lead when a well taken free kick from Fitz Hall gave the keeper no chance and put Wigan into the 4th round draw.


Tottenham (h)

Tottenham started the game the best and had most of the possession but couldn’t convert that into a goal. Then Wigan took a surprising lead when Teal found Dagoberto with a 30 yard cross field pass and he put the ball into the top corner giving the keeper no chance. McCulloch made it two with a back post header. Delgado the scored on 69mins giving Tottenham hope but it wasn’t to be and Wigan pulled off a surprise victory at the JJB.

Arsenal (h)

Wigan again played host to a London Club. They took a surprise lead after 8 mins when Dagoberto finished from the tightest of angles. De Zeeuw then played an excellent pass to put Teal in who finished for his first goal of the season. Hleb went through 1 on 1 with Ashdown squared the ball to Rosicky to put into an empty net. Then a typical run and finished from Henry put the Gunners level before a Jackson OG gave Jenkinson his first defeat of the season.

Arsenal 3 Wigan 2

The Games !

August Games

Chelsea 3 - 1 Aston Villa

A poor performance by Aston Villa in truth which saw then get hammered 3-1 by billionaire's chelsea.The only consolation was that youngster Ray Jones who got a rare start grasped his opertunity buy scoring a wonderful header late on.

Aston Villa 2 - 2 Newcastle

Aston Villa failed to show up in the first half for this game with Gio VanBronkhorst opening the scoring early on and then just before half time Kieron Dyer doubled the lead for the toon. Pettigrew threw a barney at half time and took off Fletcher and Jones and brought on Sychev and O'Connor which prroved to be a piece of tactical genious with them two scoring two strikers goals to make it level and grab the first point of the season

September Games


Spartak Moscow 0 - Aston Villa 2

This game had disaster written all ove rit when Liam Ridgewell got sent off in the fourth minute of the game for taking out the last man. Spartak failed to capitalise on this and with Villa only playing 1 up front they did not create many chances. Garry O'Connor was playing as the loan striker and Vincent Enyeama had the game of his life with making saves left right and centre. In the 78th minute Pettigrew took off the exuasted O'Connor and brought on the youngster Fletcher just for a run out but in ten minutes Fletcher failed to do what Spartak had been trying all game. He smacked home a 20 yard strike to put Villa 1-0 up and then placed a 2nd home 2 minutes later to get the 2-0 lead and 2 away goals.

Tottanham 0 - 3 Aston Villa

Well Pettigrew did not show up for this game and paid the price with Cesar Delgado scoring 2 goals and Ziegler getting a third. Villa were rank in this game and Pettigrew had no comments to make.

Aston Villa 3 - 1 Everton

Steve will tell you the score did not reflect the game at all but that is rubbish, mt Villa side turned them upside down and inside out with Garry O'Connor opening the scoring early on to make it one nil and then the his young scottish strike partner Steven Fletcher scred just after to make it two nil to the lackluster poor Everton. For some reason Steve persists on playing Beattie and Johnson up front and leaving the most talented player in his squad on the bench in Carlos Vela who came on and was the only player for them who looked dangerous and grabbed himself a late goal but then substitute Sychev scored for Villa to finish off any hopes for Everton.

Aston villa 1 - 2 Spartak Moscow

All Villa needed was to keep hold of their 2 goal lead but they didnt half make it hard for themselves within the first minute when Kirichenko scored for the Moscow club. They then doubled the lead in the second half with them only needing one more goal to take them through but the saviour of Villa was none other than Brazilian starlet Kerlon who got his first goal for the club which turned out to be probably the most important to the club ever to keep them in europe.

Blackburn 0 - 1 Aston Villa

Andy Hepburn brought his helpless Blackburn into this game dying for some points but could not do anything to sto pa wonderful Steven David freekick going in to be the winner of the game. Andy does alot of trash talking but just does not have the tactical knowledge or skill to back it up !

October Games

Aston Villa 2 - 2 Wigan

Wigan took the lead by ex Villa player Juan Pablo Angel with a header from the edge of the box. Matty Dawson then scored minutes later from a Corner taken by Shunsuke Nakamura. Kevin Kilbane scored in the last minute of the game or what he thought to be but Ashley young basically scored as soon as it kicked off after the Kilbane goal and then the final whistle went to make it 2-2.

Club Brugge 1 - 1 Aston Villa

First game in the UEFA Cup group stages and Glen Sloover scored after the 5th minute to make Villa off to a bad start. The game was very stop start with villa commiting alot of fouls but Sychev made it 1-1with 15 minutes left with a left foot volley from the edge of the box.

Aston villa 2 - 0 Liverpool

This league cup encounter was a great win for Villa with Gonzalo Higuain getting his first goal of the season and 2 minutes later Sammi Hyppia scoring an own goal to end Liverpool's cup hopes.

Aston Villa 2 - 0 Charlton

A great performance from Higuain with him scoring a goal in the 5th and 67th minutes. Higuain is attracting alot of interest from other club in cluding Marseille, AC Milan and Barcalona. Pettigrew has said he is not going to consider anything less than 30-40 million.
