Roberto The Great: Can Wigan do it again?
I think they can. Although, just on the quality of squad alone I wonder if they should have been out of contention before now. Have Wigan got a better squad than QPR or Reading? Probably not.

One Inspiration tip & One Blooper from the EPL this week
Two managers have given us great examples of how to influence a squad when your backs are to the wall. Roberto Martinez is a shining example of hope and leadership in tout times.
