Saints Will Play Wigan !

When the draw was made on Saturday for the third round of the FA Cup, most Saints fans feared the worst, but with respect to Wigan perhaps Saints now have a better chance of reaching a Wembley Semi Final.

It is fair to say that a tie against Manchester City away was probably the hardest one that could come out of the hat for any of the other teams left in the draw, however with respect to Wigan aside from Rochdale this was perhaps the tie that everyone would have been happy with.

So it is with relief that after their great victory that we now meet Wigan, all respect to them and it will certainly not be an easy game with the Lancashire club well up for it and they have shown they are no mugs, but the fact still remains that we are far happier heading to Wigan for the quarter finals than we would have been heading to Manchester City.

Good luck to Wigan for the rest of their League One campaign, but there is one game we truly want you to lose in March !

PS Sorry to Paul Cook for all the Skate B*****d jibes last season !
