While Hull stole the early season headlines, Steve Bruce and his Wigan side have slowly been
marching up the table. Egyptian striker Amr Zaki has led the way, and Bruce's side currently sit
all the way in 7th place. With no real consistency amongst the table this year, Wigan have a
genuine chance of finishing in the top half of the table in 2009.
