Signs of life

There’s definite signs of life, it’s not perfect by any stretch yet but there’s progress. Despite losing against Lincoln on Saturday Latics provided the best response to the 5-0 drubbing against Hull. A performance that was full of plaudits and a performance were Latics were well worth a point if not at all three. A […]

How low can you go?

Well, it is character building if nothing else. Hear me out here, but just as every football club has their days in the sun, we’ve also got to accept our periods in the doldrums. Whether we deserved for it to happen in such a disastrous, malicious manner is a point for discussion, most Wigan Athletic […]

Blackpool calling

It’s New Year and that can only mean one thing, not a return to work not a set of un-assailable New Year resolutions but for me and over a thousand other people THE soul music event of the year. For the uninitiated let me set some context to this claim. Now in to a fourteenth […]

Puffers to Pemps

On the fifth anniversary of the demolition of one iconic Wigan landmark, we take in some 2009 memories of the place from Tony Topping…  This summer a legend passed away, loved by some and hated by many. If your thinking Michael Jackson think again dear friend, the legend was Barbara Calderbank. My association with Barbara, […]

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, […]

Dancing with Ghosts…

As you wake up with the fear from your work’s do and head towards the chaos of Mad Friday, Tony Topping reminds us that, sometimes, you do want to remember those Christmas nights out. Dancing With The Ghosts Of Wigan Casino, 1973 The cold December wind cut through the hole in the window and its […]

Reds eleven! New signings

A few months too late but today Latics finally picked up one of our preseason recommendations in David Thompson. The ex-Liverpool midfielder, released by Blackburn, has signed a ‘prove yourself’ contract until the end of the season. Thompson was closely followed through the door by Neil Mellor, signed on loan until the end of the […]

Gabor signed for the club on 6th August 2001, the eve of the new season along with Polish International Dariusz Adamczuk. He impressed during a short trial at the club and despite being […]

Wigan fail at home again

Once again the Wigan players trooped off the pitch yesterday following a home defeat, their eighth in ten home games since Mackay took the managerial reigns and whilst there were enough chances created to win three games, the lack of a recognised goal scorer upfront for the majority of the game mean that it was […]

Special

    As you may have noticed, keeping the writing going over the last year has been difficult, for reasons both personal and footballing.  Hell, the last eight years have been hard if you want to talk football, but that’s just the game we love, isn’t it?  It’s like teenage poetry, wave after wave of […]
