Wigan Athletic - Meeting Some Spurs Fans

A popular feature on Vital Latics throughout this season, we will hopefully be getting the views of a `few' of the opposition fans on Wigan Athletic, so with a visit to the DW Stadium for Tottenham Hotspur this weekend, it was time to meet some Spurs fans.

So with seven simple questions posed let's take a look at the responses:

1. How long have you supported Spurs?
2. Who is your best player?
3. Who do you think is Wigan's best player?
4. What is your perception of Wigan Athletic?
5. What do you think the score will be?
6. What do you think will be your final league position?
7. What do you think will be Wigan's final league position?
