| Having now played them 3 times in Semis and won the lot, I wondered if fans had a particular favourite semi-final against them?
My favourite was the 1989 semi at Maine Road when Joe Lydon broke their expectant hearts with his 60 odd yard drop goal.
On the basis that every cloud has a silver lining, I suppose Wire fans can probably console themselves that this was better than their inept performance at Wembley the following year when they were embarrassed in front of an audience of millions.

That seems a long time ago now, though. I feel Wire have had the Indian sign on us in recent years. This weekend's game really could go EITHER way.

| 89 just for the fact that we beat saints in the final 27-0. That would never of happened if we hadn'd won that game.

It must have been about that distance. He kicked it from inside our half and it landed in the crowd at the other end!!

| You know, I fear Warrington games more than St Helens games. When I first started watching Wigan in the mid-80s, Warrington were our bogey side. We could beat literally everyone except this lot and even as a 10 year old I developed a particular hatred for players like Bishop, Boyd and even Cullen, who was a cocky sod.
Once again, nearly 25 years later, Warrington seem to be our bogey side again, and whilst I'd like to feel confident about the semi, I just don't.
Bring it on, though. I can't wait.

You're right, it was actually closer to 70.
To be honest, only a fool or someone who doesn't remember that moment would laugh about it (and in your case I suspect it's both).
That drop-kick has gone down in history.

As fans we have been long starved of finals, I would rather have the day out and get stuffed in a final than not make it at all.
Noble had it right the other day in that losing at the Semi final stage is the worst feeling.
I was sat behind the posts with Lydon's drop goal coming towards us. The ball just didn't drop like it normally would have and was a freak moment! It really was heartbreaking!
