Great day to see the Latics win, always supported them as a second team as my sister and brother live there. Never thought I'd see them get out of the lower leagues when I was younger, let alone win the FA cup.

From the Urban Dictionary - Wigan Athletic
1. Identity theft.
2. To wrongfully appropriate the identity of a third party.
3. Faeces.
Wigan Athletic were founded in 1932 making them one of the youngest teams competing in the English Football League.
Shortly after the decision was made to found a professional football team in the town of Wigan those responsible for the creation of the club began to construct an 'identity'.
Unhappy with simply calling the club Wigan F.C. the founders cast their eyes to the other side of Lancashire towards Oldham Athletic, who had already been playing association football for 37 years. Liking the appendage 'Athletic', the founders duly went with it thus creating 'Wigan Athletic
It then dawned on the mostly inbred founders that a nickname for the club was required. "Oi, woz Oldham's nickname?" they were heard to grunt. Before long the question was answered that Oldham used the then unique nickname: 'The Latics'. Having already stolen the appendage 'Athletic' the simple founders decided it was best to also call themselves 'The Latics' rather than rack their primitive brains for an alternative.
Finally, what colours to play in? By this stage the founders of 'Wigan Athletic' were weary having spent weeks learning how to spell 'Athletic', stopping only to fellate their cousins. Naturally they couldn't decide and so looked once more at their proud neighbours Oldham, playing in their fantastic blue and white and opted for the same. Incredibly one of the founders, it has been documented, then heaved and spat the words, "Put a bit o' green in't kit so wi luke a bit t'original like." The exertion of such a brainstorm caused this founder to become catatonic and he later died.
"Hey Mike, I've just found someone's bank statement! I'm going to absolutely Wigan Athletic them.."
"Have you seen the way Jane Wigan Athletic's Bernadette's style?"
"Right, who left that massive Wigan Athletic in the toilet?"

Oldham fan and hate Wigan, mainly hate them because everyone else is so ignorant to the money they spent getting to the Prem but happy to bitch about Chelsea or Man City spending money. Typical glory supporters

A superb afternoon and evening in the pub, everyone went nuts when that goal went in followed by a hearty round of applause at the final whistle 
Wigan out played City and deserved the win
, I suspect Maloney and McManaman wont be there much longer both looked very good prospects for the future.
Still in SN then Dave, good to see you knocking about

Sorry Wigan to be the ones to send you down, you got some good players and a good manager so hope you come straight back up but over the moon we got the 3 points to stay ahead of Spurs.

Good riddance, hopefully the decent lads will find new clubs and Whelan will have to start haying through the nose again to keep it afloat when they have crowds of 5k again like theyve had for the majority of their time.

was at the game last night, shame to see Wigan go down
they played pretty well in parts (quite large parts tbh)
but great result for us
Ramsey's goal showed amazing confidence and poise
