Our soldiers of fortune keeping my hopes alive

WATCHING the Everton game on TV was unbearable; firstly my “mates” thought it hilarious to send pictures and phone me during the match; secondly, having to sit and listen to the biased commentary and the obvious disappointment when Chelsea won was rather annoying.

What with the win against Everton and in view of United’s result against Blackburn, the Wigan equaliser now feels even more like a needle in the eye — if we lose the league on goal difference, I don’t know what I’ll do.

Meanwhile it seems that things go from bad to worse behind the scenes — allegedly, eight players sent a delegation to the “senior directors” of the club, asking for Grant to be relieved of his duties next season.
