The DVD of the Eagles win over Wigan in 98 is going to be played to the players and it will show the underdog triumph in the biggest shock of all-time,It will inspire the Eagles in a game against a inexperienced wigan side, Eagles 26 Wigan 22

As for the derby match i think Wednesday will probably win 3 or 4 nil to the Wednesday.

I'll have a pint of whatever you're drinking.

Narr 18 points could happen. I think wigan will trounced us but will become lazy in the last 5 or 10 letting us run in a few tries

I have no recollection of this from which I can only deduce it didn't happen.

So next weekend sees two of the biggest matches for some time in our great city, the first Challenge Cup meeting between Sheffield and Wigan since THAT day in London when Sheffield overcame the odds and beat Wigan 17-8 in arguably the most famous Challenge Cup Final in history, and probably the most important Steel City Derby since 1993 for us Wednesdayites, when goals from Chris Waddle and Mark Bright secured a 2-1 victory over our younger, smaller neighbours in the FA Cup Semi Final at Wembley.

I predict that next weekend is going to be wholly atrocious for me personally.

Sheffield 2-102 Wigan, we take a 2-0 lead in the first minute.

Wednesday 0-3 United, all but sealing our fate to loud chants of "you're not fit to wear the shirt".

We've only ever scored 100 twice in our history so I doubt we'll do that

Wigan have a 38 point handicap with the bookies, both teams are 10/11 on handicap betting. Without handicap, the Eagles are 20/1 to win, with Wigan 1/200. For Sunday, rather bizarrely, Wednesday are favourites with the bookies! Best odds available: http://www.oddschecker.com/football/eng ... win-market Wednesday - 7/5 United - 2/1 Draw - 12/5

Jesus H, I'm tempted to lump on the porkers at 2/1! I think Eagles deserve longer odds than 20/1 too.
