I was at Wigan/Arsenal today, and really enjoyed it, although I tend to enjoy any game I see live because I don't get the opportunity that often.
Both teams played OK, but had no finishing, Wigan especially would get players into good wide positions, and then just fuck it up.
The penalty was at the other end of the stadium to me, so I couldn't see if it was correct or not.
Arsenal's best players were Wilshere (who was very impressive), Arteta and Cazorla. Walcott was very poor up-front, Giroud is better there.
Wigan's best player was either Maloney or Jones.
The ref had a poor game, he kept stopping play for niggly little fouls or just players falling over, and the 5 minute segment where they wouldn't let Di Santo on was a farce, very load boos.
The much-heralded Wigan meat pie was excellent, and you even got a free mince pie.
