Feels like first to ten men loses

"Feisty" seems to be cropping up a lot in ht comments

Sounds like its been mostly Wigan first half. Seems like it was always going to be a feisty encounter.

Hopefully it doesn't get silly with the amount of bookings getting put out.

Doyle on for Kachunga. Suspect thats a fitness thing given his lack of preseason. Can't imagine Delfouneso's having a great game. Haven't heard his name that much.

[TANGODANCER]

Doyle warming up, apparently...


And he replaces Kachunga...

And here comes the skipper for Thomason...

The last attacking change he can make, really: his third and final sub will come from Dixon, Jones, John, Santos and Tutte. Means Dapo and Delf are probably on for the full game.

And it's Gethin for Brocky on 72. Cards played.

Decent hand

Dapo booked. <Makes Lineker-to-Bobby face>

[DJBlu]

All Wigan at the minute.

A Doyler goal please.

I mean if we're putting in requests, I'd take a George Johnston goal

Doyle goal, Johnston assist?

Sounds like this'll end up with penalties. A handball in the box not given for us.

Doyle assist, Johnson goal. Amid the McClean fuss it's been forgotten how funny it was we nicked "their" player.

But TBH I'd take an own goal.

Meanwhile in another universe, Real Madrid have made a £137m bid for Mbappe

[sonicthewhite]

Just got in. Kettle's boiled

That's us out the running then...

Butterfly's wings, Jim. By the tenets of trickle-down economics, that will start a transfer domino effect, because it puts money into the pockets of penniless paupers <checks notes> PSG.

McClean subbed!

[TANGODANCER]

Wigan boss (wisely?) subs Mclean

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

McClean subbed!

...lowers the potential fun quotient (imagine if he missed a penalty)
