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

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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HEAD TO HEAD Comp Total Man Utd Wigan Draws League 1 1 0 0 League Cup 0 0 0 0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MANCHESTER UNITED 2nd PREM Club stats Best League Cup record WINNERS (once) Date Rnd Res 12 Apr 1992 FNL Man United 1-0 Nott'm For This season's Cup run Date Rnd Res 26 Oct 2005 R3 Man United 4-1 Barnet more 30 Nov 2005 R4 Man United 3-1 West Brom more 20 Dec 2005 QF Birmingham 1-3 Man United more 11 Jan 2006 SF 1L Blackburn 1-1 Man United more 25 Jan 2006 SF 2L Man United 2-1 Blackburn more -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WIGAN ATHLETIC 8th PREM Club stats Best League Cup record Fifth Round Date Rnd Res 17 Dec 2002 R5 Wigan Ath 0-2 Blackburn This season's Cup run Date Rnd Res 20 Sep 2005 R2 Wigan Ath 1-0 Bournemouth more 25 Oct 2005 R3 Wigan Ath 3-0 Watford AET more 30 Nov 2005 R4 Wigan Ath 1-0 Newcastle more 20 Dec 2005 QF Wigan Ath 2-0 Bolton Wands more 10 Jan 2006 SF 1L Wigan Ath 1-0 Arsenal more 24 Jan 2006 SF 2L Arsenal 2-1 Wigan AET more Sam, ___________________________________________________________ indomail - Your everyday mail - http://indomail.indo.net.id HAPUS BAGIAN EMAIL YG TIDAK PERLU SEBELUM ME-REPLY. ========================================================== Milis Tabloid BOLA Untuk KELUAR DARI MILIS INI.
