Actually I thought Wigan were a class act all afternoon.
A very good team (who not only played decent football, but didn't dive and roll about), supporters who were generous with their applause for Cyril Beavon pre-match and didn't crow to much at our expense afterwards, a manager who took it upon himself to correct a ref's mistake and was at least sympathetic to us in his post match comments. Of course, it's easy to be generous when you've spent an afternoon shooting fish in a barrel - but nevertheless, classy.
Totally agree, a pretty class act all round. A guy near us was screaming for Cook to sit down but I could see what he was doing and could only applaud. As you rightly say, easier to be magnanimous when it's that one sided but still, very refreshing. We did wonder if they would bother announcing a man of the match but we figured it had to be Grigg, Cook or one of our unused subs (or Max Power, just because his name is Max Power).
