The season begins on Saturday (again)
It’s been a truly horrific start to the season for Wigan Athletic, there’s no way around it. We’re staring relegation to League Two in the face unless we start picking up results and picking up those results on a regular basis. The last seven days have been a perfect example of how our season has […]
Night and Day
Night and Day, no not the infamous Oldham Street Manchester venue but the difference between the Wigan Athletic performance against Stockport and Sheffield Wednesday. There was much trepidation heading over the Pennines after the previous Saturday but all of that was dispelled by arguably the best performance of the season. Latics arrived at Hillsborough rock […]

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 […]

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, […]

Add in to that the various novelty Christmas songs and generic pop songs […]

Oh Dear
Oh dear, so despite the hype there’s no triumphant Wembley return for Wigan Athletic this year. I couldn’t make the final (if we’d have reached it) so maybe wasn’t as invested in the semi-final with Sutton as the rest of the fan base last night. I’m disappointed for everyone who was looking forward to a […]
Boselli brace guides Wigan to comfortable win
Wigan made the long trip down to the capital with Roberto Martinez opting to ring the changes from the side defeated by Fulham at the weekend with only Al Habsi, Caldwell, Figueroa and Ramis retaining their place. There were also first team starts for the first time this season for Lopez, McManaman and Miyaichi as […]
It’s a con
Well after all the excitement, speculation and downright panic the transfer window slammed shut with less of a bang than a whimper. Fortunately we managed not to lose any more players but on the other hand we only gained one extra. David Connolly’s signing came a little bit out of the blue (he was one […]
You wait ages for a bos…
…and then Juve start sniffing around your best player. So there you have it, 1st June, contracts are ending and the window is thrown open (found yourself a club yet, Paul?). Latics jumped the gun a bit, announcing the signing of Mauro Boselli from Argentine giants Estudientes or Boca Juniors, one or the other, or […]
