Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey looks at the situation regarding the extra pressure being placed on Steve Bruce to ensure that his Wigan side put up a fight on Sunday and wonders if there are more sinister forces at work.

Under Paul Jewell Wigan had lost all 20 of their meetings with the big four since promotion in 2005, but since Steve Bruce took over the club have shared points at Anfield and Stamford Bridge, as well as holding Arsenal at the JJB Stadium.

FFC columnist Greg Farrimond is not convinced about Wigan's strikeforce and wonders if their misfiring will cost Wigan dear in the battle to stay in the Premier League.

Wigan Athletic seem to have their defence sorted out, have some very promising midfielders yet our strikers seem to be really letting us down.

As FFC columnist Sam Hollis travelled to Anfield to support his beloved Luton Town last night, he fears for the future, as the disproportionate distribution of television money is slowly killing off smaller clubs.

On Saturday I had the privilege to visit Old Trafford for the first time. The atmosphere was incredible and the football stunning. Although the stadium easily fulfilled my childhood expectations, I found myself wishing I was at Kenilworth Road instead.

FFC columnist Johnny Smithers looks at the relevance of the January transfer window and wonders if Chelsea's signing of Nicolas Anelka was the calm before an eventual storm.

Rafa Benitez came out last month, much to the anger of his employers, and pointed out the importance of the transfer window and the need to prepare in advance as teams look for that push or added face that can come in and transform a season. It is a time of rumours, innuendos and in truth a lot of hot air, as once again the window has failed to produce that mad rush that the press men seemingly expect.

FFC columnist Billy Pearson isn't the greatest fan of the Champions League but appreciates its sole existence, may just be keeping, our domestic game together.

It is a competition that has been much maligned of late and why the Champions League isn't everyone's cup of tea, people should appreciate the fact; this competition is probably keeping our domestic game together as we know it.
