Before it’s too late
We or rather the collective we, IE me – said that last week something had to change. Well we’ve now reached the point where that change required is immediate. Wigan Athletic need a change of management with urgency or for the first time in over thirty years Wigan Athletic could find themselves in the bottom […]
Something has to change
It has to change, somehow something’s got to change. We thought that change or rather that progression had finally come against Preston, but the more Saturday went on and the more disgraceful the performance it felt like we’d left everything on the pitch at Deepdale. Not because it was Wigan Athletic and it was the […]
Other Stuff
A pathetic shopping spree
If you move in certain Twitter circles then you’ll have come across The Pathetic Casuals. Once they were young lads and lasses, touring the country in following the team they love, dressed up the nines and making sure they were seen and heard. Now, as age, parenthood, mortgages and world weariness catches up with them, […]
A very Soulful Christmas
In a Soulful Christmas Mood The Christmas song has been given a bad press in recent years, no doubt partly influenced by Simon Cowell and his legacy of X-Factor one week wonders that hijacked the Christmas number one for over a decade.

I’ve just found the source for the recent spate of comments from Chairman Dave. It would appear that he’s keeping a Premier League diary for the Manchester Evening News. Yesterdays offering was the gospel relating to Michael Owen. We did make a bid, we spoke to is agent and it wasn’t a publicity stunt. Owen […]
Taking Shape
For a side who have consistently struggled on the goal scoring front it’s a bit worrying. We’re a week away from the start of the season and Roberto Martinez’s first team squad looks like it will contain a grand total of, erm, two strikers. At the same time Latics seem to be collecting midfielders like […]
Oh I say, that’s a big one!
And it’s all thick and shiny as well. I refer of course to the latest issue of the Mudhutter Football Express which is coming out this weekend. Issue 49 is a whopping 52 pages for just two quid in fact. It’s jam packed with loads of great articles on a variety of subjects from music […]
Latics listen to the fans
Wigan Athletic can confirm that after consultation with a number of supporters a decision has been made to return to a reserved seating plan in the South Stand for next season. It had been originally planned that the stand would offer unreserved seating for supporters, but concerns raised since the announcement was made has […]
