BOT; The cas away game was the worse for me too, that was the moment it really hit me that we could go down.....I didnt speak to anyone in the car the whole way back it was silent and i'm pretty sure I was holding back the tears.

But then I and we picked ourselves up and now look!!! as some have said I think 2006 has made us appreciate this year so much more.

Its got nothing to do with Saints, Wire, Leeds or any other goon who comes on here polluting this thread. We are top and will finish top and if we want to celebrate balls to them!

Lows
Pretty much all of the first half of 2006 including being 0-42 at half time at the KC
Losing all the recent semi finals

Highs
Bradford playoff 2007: Pretty obvious.
Winning at Headingley in 2006: With the points deduction in the week it was a massive win that kept us up.
Wire away, Leeds home and Sts away this year: First made me think "Wow, we could win something here"

We played you twice that season, not 4 times! Leeds played Bradford 3 times that season, not 4 times! One of our [iartificial fixtures[/i was against Leeds . Our achievement in losing 4 games in all competitions to a points difference totalling -10 is extremely impressive and winning BBC sports team of the year is not exactly overlooked. The best team always win the league every season - No argument.

But you haven't won anything yet!! ..... Grasped.

One of the worst performances I've witnessed over the years (and there's been a few), was Easter Monday, April 17th, 2006............Wigan 18 Harlequins 30, a scoreline that actually flattered us, it really was grim, that day we reached as close to rock bottom as it gets, something had to change, next week in came Brian Noble, bringing Stuart Fielden with him and the rest is history, but that game still sticks in my mind as a real low point in my time as a Wigan fan.

You know what i might sound mad here but i enjoyed the season when we was nearly religated than this season dont get me wrong i'm loving being at the top where we belong but therewas something special about that year the way all the fans and players pulled together

What season? You seem to be refering to 2006, and I have no doubt you was the best team in the league, as you were in 2005. But i though you played us 4 times in 2007 and 2008. And I'll put my hands up if i'm wrong but i presumed Leeds-Bradford played 4 times too. You won each league by 1 point so i thought a playoff WAS nescessary in those seasons.
You should defo have been Champs in 2005 though.

Correct, regardless of going on too the GF, finishing top would mark a HUGE turn around within our club and sets us up nicely for the next few years.

Of course we then want to go on and win the GF, but whatever happens 2010 has been the biggest year at Wigan in the last decade.

Welcome back and about time too.

The game needs a strong Wigan.

Psst most of your best players arent eligible...and some of the younger ones (ST and the like) have played in the Test sides.....

Undoubtedly. This time 4 years ago we were still in deep trouble in the pitch, and not looking too healthy off it. Fantastic work to get us up to this stage/level.
