Following what was an exhilarating game that saw the Latics triumph 4-3 over Blackburn it`s very easy to get carried away, so I thought I`d trawl my way through the Sunday`s papers to see if they agreed with me, that the Latics were fantastic, you know what? They do seem to agree, take a look below:
The Independent – ‘The way the talented young McCarthy chipped the ball up twice on his right foot before finishing with his left was a delight to see.’ – The Independent
The Daily Express – ‘In a downpour at the DW Stadium, the goals flew in. Good goals, direct goals, scruffy goals, penalties and, from James McCarthy, an extraordinary juggle and half-volley that he had no right to score on a bog of a pitch.’ The Daily Express
The Mirror – ‘In one of the games of the season, McCarthy scored one of the goals of the season to give Wigan their first win of 2011’ The Mirror
The People – ‘Although a six-hour deluge left the DW Stadium pitch like a quagmire, it made for cracking entertainment’ The People
The Mail – ‘Few people would have expected such a scoring spree. But they edged out Blackburn during a thrilling second half containing five goals.’ The Mail
Some positive press, makes a pleasant change
