Preston North End 26-0 v Hyde FC  in October 15, 1887 is the biggest league defeat I can find.

Wigan a long way to go yet

Where were you sat? ?

As a kid Arbroath 36 Bon Accord 0 was a nerdy stat I used to remember as the highest score in a professional fixture

I put BBC sport on and saw it was Wigan 7 Hull 0 at half time and I genuinely thought I'd missed the Rugby season restarting until I read it properly.

Thats the worst first half (or best depending your view) from a side ive ever seen. 7-0 at half time! 

Have wigan won every game since lockdown? certainly a team to avoid atm

They've only won 1 of their last 3.

[davulsukur]

Massive game for Hull tonight, well it was.

How they can turn up and get rinsed 7-0 by half time in game that should be one of the biggest of the season for them, I'll never know.

Wigan really wanna stay up, Hull really don't.

[davulsukur]

8-0

[RevidgeBlue]

Wigan have taken their foot off the gas.

Mercer's £40 looks in jeopardy!

Edit: ignore, get the bottles of red in!

Banged £40 on more than 7.5 goals at almost evens a few minutes ago.

how do you have half a goal?

[DE.]

I wouldn't normally root for Wigan but considering how they've been stitched up by their owners and the EFL I'm hoping they do stay up. Hull certainly don't deserve a place in the division next season - they have been absolutely pathetic during the second half of the season after selling off their best players during the January window.

I thought Hull looked a terrible side when we beat them and Ewood and went into the bookies the morning after we played them and got 33/1 on them to go down.

If Wigan do stay up, they will start next season on -12, good for us.

The points are taken at the end of this season. The only way they would have been taken next season was if they finished in the bottom 3 on merit which can't happen now.

Has anyone ever told you that you have a gambling problem?

So if they finish 12 points clear they basically have no punishment ?

They will be deducted 12 points and finish lower down the table as a result of it.

Which means. No punishments.

A 12 point deduction is the standard penalty for going into administration.

I would have thought automatic relegation should be the punishment, as they have broken a rule, and the 3rd off bottom haven’t.

It's so that a bet covers scores definitively. So 'over 7.5 goals' means 8 goals or more would win, but 7 goals or less wouldn't.

Justice! Or has a massive bet been placed on Wigan going down?
