Context gentlemen, please
Ahhh Wigan. I foolishly thought last months financial results may have provided some much needed context to a club still reeling from two financial disasters in as many years, clearly I was wrong. The (internet) fan base reverted to type on Monday evening as we were DUN WI Maloney and Danson would be seeing THI […]
Never Again!
The release of last week’s financial accounts made for sobering reading for all Wigan Athletic supporters. Never again can this club be allowed to reach the state it did and never again can we allow those that don’t have Wigan Athletic’s best interests at heart to use the club in the way it had been […]

If your thinking Michael Jackson think again dear friend, the legend was Barbara Calderbank. My association with Barbara, […]

Dzeko secures three points for half pace City
Manchester City secured a valuable three points at the DW stadium without hardly breaking into a sweat against a spirited but limited Wigan Atheltic, thereby condemning their local rivals to another week at the bottom of the table and yet had Wigan not seemed intent on giving City far too much respect and possession in the […]
Wigan Athletic fixtures 2012/13 (and stick your money grabbing licence where the sun don’t shine)!…
The Premier League fixtures have been released today but in true money grabbing Premier League/Football League style sites like ours are prohibited to publish them unless of course we pay a fortune for the privilege. Notwithstanding Wigan Athletic are OUR team and we already pay a bloody fortune as it is following this sport, so […]
Tired Wigan slip to deepen relegation fears.
A poor performance with too many players performing below their normal levels saw Wigan lose at home to Swansea and lose the opportunity to move out of the bottom three. Roberto Martinez made three changes from the side which performed credibly at West Bromwich, Espinoza replacing the injured Beausejour and two tactical changes the re-introduction […]
