- A famous night in the history of Wigan Athletic, as they looked to reach their first major cup final. The Latics held a slender 1-0 advantage from the first leg of the semi-final, going into the return match at Highbury. And the omens were on their side: they had yet to concede a goal in the 2005-06 League Cup, plus Arsenal had been knocked out of the competition at this stage on their last three occasions. Commentating are Martin Tyler and Chris Kamara.
This was the very first Game I ever went too. Was a disaster of an evening. Was late leaving due to extra time, walked to Holloway tube tube only to be turned away as it was closed due to a bent track. Then walked to finsbury park and had to queue to get in! just caught last train out of Victoria back to Eastbourne but unfortunately it diverted to Brighton. Managed to get night bus home. Got in at 4am lol
It was my first game too! Also trying to navigate a way back to Sussex! I reckon lots of people around that time went to their first game that night. Tickets were hard to come buy during this era, and a midweek cup game against a smaller northern team gave us all a chance!
Sounds like my evening. I took a day off school the next day haha
Pollitt was absolute class for us that season. Was gutted for him when he got injured in the final. That was a great day out, absolutely bladdered by half 7 in morning at birmingham services, couple tuppers and carry on
Bet it wasn’t good as the 2013 Fa cup final though right?🤣
Loved your kit that season
Wigan sporting one of the best kits ever. Deserved to go through just for that.
I always thought that an away goal in extra time is an unfair rule. The team playing away first leg have 90 minutes to get away goals and the team playing away in the 2nd leg have 120 mins.
The home team has 30 more minutes playing home
Should have had 2 penalties wigan so who cares
Hated Henry never taking penalties. Ffs, he should have atleast 15+ goals but he always gave the penalty duties away when he won it.
Just before Roberts's goal the Arsenal players were wasting the time and the fans were cheering 'Ole' as they kept the ball and passed it about. I remember thinking how arrogant they were, doing that when they were only a goal away from losing the tie. And when Roberts scored I was absolutely thrilled for them lol.
Not only that. They were absolutely STEALING the win.
i was there up the back of the North Bank, it was FREEZING
@Ve eve I only heard it, as i was running back to the Tube, trying to get back to the city for the last train to Sussex (i just made it). I knew from the quiter distant cheer from the clock end what had happened. Had to wait for the Arsenal Scores text service (ah 2006 technology) to confirm it.
I’m an arsenal fan, i was annoyed we went out at the time, but i did love wigan that season. I loved their kit and they were really good under paul jewell.
"Who needs Mourinho, we've got Paul Jewellio'
@@Lythgoemania what ever happened to paul jewell ? 🤷🏻♂️
@@RKagram - don’t you remember the sex tape scandal lol ?? 😂 it finished him
@@henryhill1364 oh really, blimey my mind is a blank 😂
Martin Tyler ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Was this the start of the Arsenal banter era?
It's the league cup
@@biglez5577 but he's right....minus the champions league this was the season it all came crashing down
@@omalone1169 yeah but we still had a core of legends there was obvious decline, I think the next season was where it began as we didnt attempt to improve
Arsenal were still good for a couple of seasons after this, though naive. I would say banter era kicked in after losing the champions league semi final in 09. We became a joke
@@Invinciblez18 I imagine you are stretching it simply because of the win in Milan
Nah mate keep your standards
After falling outside of the top 3/4 the club was in constant decline
Wins after that were blips
For anyone who has constructive people who will benefit and would like to be involved themselves :-
Keen to explores the deeper aspects of the beautiful game?

Dowd should never have officiated again
We're biggest little club in the world by a country mile
I fell in love with Wigan because of Championship Manager, but this team was incredible by any stretch, certainly one of the best first time premier league squad of all time.
2nd at Christmas, Carling Cup final, FA Cup winners, what a journey it was and this win was one of the best.
how was that challange on roberts by sendoros no a pen
Pollitt was brilliant
So glad they're now back in League One, where they truly belong.
What a fucking mong you are. up the tics
Think that's the Championship, my bitter Sammyperson. If you can't take the occasional defeat by a small club, you aren't fit to follow football. We all appreciate Arsenal are a huge, rich club, with a fantastic manager, who win the league every year...............
go and spend another fortune on overrated crap .
Dowd what a disgrace. How has he not given a pen for Campbells challenge. Sickening
Sol Campbell should have been sent off and wigan should have had at least two penalties in that match,deserved to go thru
+Ian Carter away goal couldn't work today :)
@@randall733 Away goals still count after extra time if they were scored in extra time I think (could be wrong), so if that's the case then this would still stand.
Phil Dowd always had some personal vendetta against Wigan. He rigged the game everytime by not giving us anything. We used always fear a game when he was ref, it was like playing against 12 men.
RIP Jose Antonio Reyes
Dowd should hang his head in shame!!
Who came here from last minute goals you probably haven't seen before
I love Arsenal
Henry was miles offside 😂
2020 : this things are happened to Arsenal again versus Olympiakos :)
17 years on & still some of the WORSE FOOTBALLING REFEREEING TO THIS DAY OFF PHIL DOWD ……. UPTHETICS 🔵⚪️
Arsenal fans learn patient from Djorou and Sendoros😅😅😅🤣
Phil Dowd, one of the worst referees we ever had! He screwed us over several times, not just in this game.
