Wigan players will be aware of the much bigger prize that is promotion. A 3match ban for a red card would be a serious blow to their efforts. A good cup run is always welcome of course but if it comes at a price, maybe not so clever. Psychologically, I expect them to be in damage limitation mode, a o-1 loss and back to the serious stuff in the league. No one will say it of course, but it happens, for sure. City on the other hand have shown their ambition and ability to go for it all, their confidence in Pep, in their team-mates and themselves must be at an all-time high yet still give 100% until the game is effectively over, when game management is the sensible tactic. Many moons ago, Khaldoon said that "typical city" needed to be eradicated, well, it is still there but now refers to positive attributes like "never say die", "beautiful football", "devastating counter-attack", and great goals galore. If we could just add "clean sheet" to that list then the sky is the only limit ..... what a time to be a blue. Oh 0-3 to city
