Final Carling cup di Millenium Stadium tetap membawa aroma Jinx
bagi ke 2 team, kalau melihat hasil drawing maka Manchester
United mendapat drawing sbg home team memakai kaos merah celana
putih, Wigan sbg away team.Jinx yg biasa terjadi adalah home team selalu 
menang, contoh yg
terjadi tahun lalu di final FA Cup, arsenal sbg home team vs
Manchester United sbg away team, walaupun United bermain
gemilang tp tetap sulit mencetak gol dan kalah dalam adu
penalti dan gagal meraih piala.
Kali ini jinx akan tetap bertuah...Manchester United akan
menjadi juara Carling cup....prediksi saya score 2-0

KEY MATCH STATS


MANCHESTER UNITED and Wigan Athletic will grace the Millennium
Stadium, in the sixth and last League Cup final to be staged in
Cardiff before a return to the spectacular setting of a
newly-constructed Wembley. This is United's only realistic
chance of silverware this season, while Wigan are making their
first ever appearance in a major final.
The Old Trafford club were beaten 2-1 after extra time in the
Milk Cup final by Liverpool in 1983, then 1-0 by Sheffield
Wednesday in the Rumbelows final in 1991, 3-1 by Aston Villa in
the Coca-Cola Cup final in 1994 and 2-0 by Liverpool in the
Worthington Cup in 2003. Their only success was in 1992 when
Brian McClair scored the only goal against Nottingham Forest
and the following team lifted the trophy:- Schmeichel, Parker,
Irwin, Bruce, Phelan, Pallister, Kanchelskis (sub: Sharpe),
Ince, McClair, Hughes and Giggs.
Under Sir Alex Ferguson, United have won one Champions League,
eight Premierships, five FA Cups, one Cup Winners' Cup, the
Super Cup and the Inter-Continental Cup, in addition to the
League Cup, when it was under the guise of the Rumbelows. Now
they're due to take their place in the 46th final of this
League Cup competition, and third as the Carling Cup.
WIGAN ATHLETIC have enjoying an amazing season under Paul
Jewell. The club that was only elected to the Football League
in 1978, has made a meteoric rise through the ranks in recent
seasons with the support of multi-millionaire businessman and
chairman Dave Whelan. They entered a plush new stadium at the
JJB in 1999, and have taken the Premiership by storm in their
first experience of top-flight football.
The Latics sit proudly in eighth place going into this final.
But they've not managed a victory in six matches in all
competitions, since narrowly scraping past Arsenal in the
semi-finals. Athletic have drawn three of the last four, and
have won just three of 13 matches since New Year's Eve.
Manchester United have won six of the last eight, but were
eliminated from Europe in December, find themselves 12 points
behind Chelsea at the summit of the Premiership, and most
recently were knocked out of the FA Cup by Liverpool.
These clubs have only ever met once before. United thrashed
their north-west neighbours 4-0 in the League clash at Old
Trafford on 14 December. Wayne Rooney put in an outstanding
display and scored two goals, to get United back on track at a
time when Sir Alex was facing not a little criticism.Report
