Wigan, in their first ever season of top flight football, are through to the Carling Cup Final! Well done to them, although Jason Roberts 119th minute winner did wreck my prediction of an Arsenal vs Man United final. United did however make it through to the final, scraping (and punching judging by the half-time scuffle) past Dave Whelan’s old club, Blackburn Rovers.
I did mention that Wigan are an unpredictable side at times, and when they went 1-0 down to Henry’s header, I thought they were on their way out. However they battled well and brought the game to extra time, where anything can (and usually does) happen. I didn’t even think that the Carling Cup had an away goals rule, and by the looks of it, neither did Dave Whelan or Jason Roberts.
