Watched the Wigan-Newcastle game live today, and the first half has to be one of the best 45 minutes of football I have every seen: fluid, open, intense, creative. Wigan's passing was phenomenal, and they used the full width of the pitch. It's been a while since I saw one team dominate another to quite that extent. Wigan looked like contenders for the Champions League, and Newcastle looked like candidates for relegation. Very enjoyable, and I have the DVR set to record the replay at 3am tomorrow morning.
