First Wazzock 902 Posted August 12, 2011 [:@]Wigan have lost Charles N''Zogbia and look weaker than they did at the end of last season. Roberto Martinez gets a lot out of his players but if they are not careful, eventually they will fall through the trapdoor.The Latics were so inconsistent last time out - within games not just game-to-game - and I cannot see that being any different this campaign.Similarly with Norwich, we do not know what to expect. You do not look at the raft of signings that Paul Lambert has made and think they are definitely going to stay up, because hardly any of them have played in the Premier League before.Whether the Canaries do survive or not will depend on their record against the teams around them at the bottom, as well at home, which is why games like this will be important.But I cannot see them surviving despite the fact that Lambert has done a great job to get them up.Wigan got thumped by Blackpool on the opening day last season, and they definitely won''t want that to happen again against another newly promoted side. It might be a false dawn for the Latics but I see them winning this one.Prediction: 2-0Weaker than last year but he still expects them to beat us 2-0 - I just can''t see it.

Adam NCFC 0 Posted August 12, 2011 Seriously why does anyone ever listen to this prat? His predictions are often spot on, I mean this youtube video is top class!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufZRA5gyXhQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K Lo 224 Posted August 12, 2011 IMO and many others, Lambert is one of the most talented managers in the Permiership. When we were in the Prem. in the ''90s we, by some margin, didn''t, on paper, have an excellent team but skillful managers gave us the edge over many teams that were thought to be better than us.

Lincs CR 0 Posted August 12, 2011 Don''t understand his logic. Thumped by Blackpool last year who had a team full of inexperienced players at the top level. Wigan are now a worse side than last year, and he predicts a 2-0 win against a Norwich side full of inexperienced players at the top level?Next he''ll be saying we''re gonna get relegated to league 2 again!

No he hasn''t managed in the Premiership he just happens to be a Premiership manager at the moment.He isn''t saying that his talent is based on previous Premiership management.Do you not tink he is a talented manager?
