I'm not too nervous to be honest. The excitement is leading to lack of sleep though. I dreamt Cunningham did a Zidane and ended his career with a headbutt red card last night.

I dreamt Feka doing a full lengther for the winner in the 79th minute I reckon the nerves will probably start tomorrow night big time.

[size=50:2fqgwsdo]"The mid-to-late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s is the most successful period for the club to date, however, even without this glorious trophy laden period, Wigan would still have won more trophies than any other professional British rugby league club due to their successes throughout the club's history."[/size:2fqgwsdo]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52674.jpg |

I couldn't read this until today, for fear of no sleep at all.
Excellent preview. I would like to say as per normal, but there's nothing normal about those first 3 paragraphs.
Great laugh though. See you tomorrow.

Good one that, Bilko.
This game, as you suggest, marks a real turnaround in the club's on field fortunes. Tomorrow we are all at Old Trafford for the Grand Final.
For the past few years I like many have gone in hope to Headingly and KR and then have had to trudge home after the last game of the season for us.
We have had some barren years and it now feels to me like the 1984/5 time again. Whether we win or lose I am convinced that the Wigan club is back at the top and it's where we are going to stay for a very long time.
Under Ian Lenagan's ownership the club has turned around in a time I'd have never believed possible given the mess we were in when he bought the club.
Everything appears to be going in the right direction. On and off the field the club is excellent. This first team is almost the same as last year yet their performances are unrecognisable. This is down to the new coaching team appointed by IL.
The future for Wigan RLFC has not looked brighter for decades and tomorrow win or lose will be the end of the season where Wigan at long last have topped the League. They have already proved they are the most consistent team in the League.
As for the Leeds semi, Bilko. Why does everyone mention Peacock, Burgess and McGuire missing for Leeds mean that if they'd played Leeds would have won? They all played at Headingly in the League game a month or so ago and they lost 26-12 to Wigan. Even had they played I still think Wigan would have won that game!
And just to mention - Anselmians - they are a Union club based in Birkenhead who are an old boys team from St Anselms School.
