Mark Hughes says the top four will continue to drop points this year as it is a stronger league, fair enough and probably true but how can a point at Wigan be 'keeping up the pressure at the top of the premier league' as the BBC website says. For any of the top 4, a point or loss there is a bad day as it was for Chelsea. It would not have been reported this way if Utd had drawn there and were still 5 points behind I am sure.

And I love his other statement;

The Welshman was delighted with the character shown by his side, saying: "Last year we would have struggled to get a point here."

"But we are different group now and we have the mentality you need to dig in when things are going against you and get something out of a game."

Oh yeah and I forgot to add, I spent £100 million in the summer...that could be why as well Mark eh :splapme

They seemed to really miss Bellamy yesterday. Maybe Hughes is using the logic that as Chelsea lost at Wigan, they gained a point
