yep

What a story that would've been!

Beating Manchester City - again - at the Etihad in the quarter-final as well, as a Championship club! If they'd retained it, I think it would arguably have been an even greater and unlikelier achievement than Leicester winning the Premier League.

@@char6364 Hmm I wouldn't go that far. FA Cup is easier game by game than the 38 games you have to do well in the prem, against consistently better teams also.

@@vangledosh Perhaps, but I think you could certainly make the argument. The only relegated team to win the FA Cup in 150 years and the only team to finish outside the top-half of the Premier League and win the FA Cup other than Everton since 1980. Although Everton finished only three points outside the top 10 when they won it in 1995, then were three points off the top-four the following season so arguably they finished in a false position. Couple that with (had they won it again) becoming the first team to win a major trophy outside the top tier since West Ham, again in 1980, and you have a massive, combined statistical anomaly that, in my opinion, at least contends with Leicester winning the Premier League with the 11th or 12th largest budget in the division.

Relegation escapes?

@@aaaabbbb2483 2009/10, 10/11 and 11/12 season They were 8 pts behind 17th in 11/12 with Liv, Arsenal to play away and Chelsea and Unites home, in 10/11 they were trailing wham 2-0 and won 3-2 and surviving winning away at stoke at the last day 1-0

Being a Wigan fan, I hated being in the FA cup since we always got embarrassed by lower division clubs since we never put a strong team out. That year we played Bournemouth in the first game when they were in league 1, they smashed us and we scabbed a draw at home, just narrowly got a win in the replay. Martinez got criticised for not respecting the FA cup in the papers and on sky sports. From that first game I couldn’t believe we won it, you’d never dream it judging from that first game. Loved the FA cup ever since.

@@mast3rchief536 Especially next year when again Wigan were Penalties won away to reach a final again, after that beating centurion city side and reaching Quarters in 2018 but sadly got beat by Southampton, truly amazing FA cup runs by Wigans

@@ballabol2019 yeah they smashed it that year, league 1 and we beat 3 pl teams including Man City. Played amazing against Southampton but got so unlucky.

I remember the comparison of the worth in total of the players of the opposing teams. Something like hundreds of millions (City) versus tens of millions (Wigan). McManaman's pace had me in awe. Absolute scenes as a Wigan supporter

Come to us and was ruined by Pulis

And now he is back 😅

On our way back now

@Rz St Don’t you remember their premier league days? They spent 8 seasons in a row in the premier league

They were always punching above their weight, them winning the FA Cup versus one of the greatest squads in footballing history is a near miracle.

@@thomasriding1224 currently in top three arent you people? Best of luck mate, also in the FA cup since you guys make it to the fourth round

@@thomasriding1224 Hopefully

💙 to Brazil from a Wigan fan!

bla bla

Where is he now... Wat a player

We already won 4 FA cups before 1970

Last time non big six win it

Yeah, why are they there?

I was there

Me

need that instrumental😂

It's a team game. He doesn't want to celebrate alone... he runs off to the fans as well. I was at the game, and I was getting kissed left, right and centre by random fans. We were celebrating it as a team as well lad.

@@rememberpastglory9131 i’m not talking about that. What i’m trying to say is just let him run over to the fans and celebrate instead of pulling his shirt back and dragging him down, that way he won’t even make it to the fans.

No shot…

yes. they played too next season

Stop being poor

Yep tiny club that beat Manchester City

And your point is?

😬

i mean we sorta won tho

Unlucky.

Up the tics
