ESPN mentioned us.
Well done Wigan today. Well deserved win! But ITV should be sued for never once mentioning COVENTRY CITY in their constant references to cup final upsets. Bloody 'Crazy Gang' of 88 were mentioned about a hundred times! One mention of Keith Houchen in the last few minutes of their coverage - not good enough!
They didnt mention us, as although it was the best final ever, it wasnt really a giant killing. We had had a great season and had beaten Spurs 4-3 at home, so it was hardly a huge shock.
Cringe.
Game is about Wigan and Manchester City, why would they mention us for.
As I said, cringe.
Unfortunately Wimbledon's success in 1988 overshadowed our success the year before. It was a better feat than our victory over Spurs, those who don't remember or weren't around at that time Liverpool were a great team almost unbeatable here or Europe, the Barcelona of that time.606 mentioned us too! Spoke about us still talking about our (only) success, even with our more recent problems.

And Wimbledon were non league only a decade before.

How long is it since Wigan were non-league ? Not that long ago and they have been in the Premiership about 8 yearsAnd Wimbledon were non league only a decade before.
</p>we were unbeatable in europe too,as we never got the F**king chance too prove it due to the ban on english club...thanks Liverpool

Beat me to it moff. Five line were looking at previous upsets and mentioned us. Why? On form that season I think we were marginally better man for man anyway. The following season we were a top 4 team for most of the season. We were a good side with good players.

THAT is one of the main reasons why I revel in Liverpool's demise & hope they never reach dizzy heights again! It's never their fault though. Even the poor innocents that died at Hillsborough...I wonder if any of those that went to the pub & arrived late, then chose to push & shove their way in with total disregard (no intent...just disregard) for anyone else, has actually stopped to think about their actions? And I know that some copper(s) made bad decisions on the day at that time (& others some VERY bad ones afterwards)...but surely if you leave the windows open - you have to look at yourself if all your stuff gets pinched?
I remember in 1971 when Wigan were in the southern league north they played man City at Maine Road in the FA Cup and lost 1-0 and played really well.
Both the teams managers left the following season to join forces at Coventry City.Gordon Milne left Wigan and Joe Mercer left Man city.

I will never understand why after that briiliant LC semi-final ending in last minute defeat to West Ham ,he got shifted upstairs .Never realised he had been considered for the England job when Revie got it ,then on leaving us got the Fox's Promotion.
It would be really nice if the club invited him for a game if he's physically up for it,Top Bloke.
Some of those probably walk around wearing "justice for the 96 t-shirts"
ITs strange how some obviously highly intelligent folk lose all sense of respect and reason when reflecting on matters of football rivalry ,we sound as bad as the Mackems here ,people died ,it could easily have been ours two years prior ,if you were there you know this.
