In the second half our 10 were far better than their 11. Also I don't think Ashton is United quality. He can make a nuisance of himself, admittedly, and he gave Liverpool a bit of a run around in the cup final a couple of years ago, but he's a bit one dimensional and also rather injury-prone. Another Saha in that respect but not in his class otherwise. I am quite sure Wigan will fail to lie down for United. They just don't play any other way even if they are now safe. But Brucey will not want to go anywhere near Fergie (or OT) ever again if they do prevent us winning Fergie's (and Giggsy's) 10th title!
