No they weren't!
After taking the game to United, Wigan shut up shop and tried to consolidate and protect what they had...suicide.
Again...the only way to play United is to attack. United probably have the most experienced players in the world in dealing with teams that choose the defensive option.
When I see a team prepared to attack United from the off I pray to God they score early. Gives us so much more time to reverse the scoreline.
It's the definition of asking for trouble when a team tries to defend a 1 goal lead - it just invites an equaliser and then a complete collapse, and I still don't know why the hell teams do it as it never bloody works (after years of watching Sven's England it's something you get used to though).

Anyway, congratulations on another title. It'll take just about the most unlikely turn of events in the next weeks to stop your lot now.
