Don’t call it a comeback

In which, after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus, Jimmy, Alan and Chris carry on like nothing has ever happened in the hope that no one will notice.  If they even listen at all, that is. There’s been plenty of water under the bridge since the last time we took to the airwaves and Jimmy bravely starts by […]

Looking up

It’s been a strange old week. It started full of optimism after a very strong performance against Barnsley in the EFL Cup the previous Saturday that should have never ended in defeat. Being bridged in the middle with an awful first half performance against Cambridge but a fightback of sorts. Before a win in the […]

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, […]

Wigan Pies for Wigan People

Here at the Pie At Night we believe in attending a football match (or indeed rugby) involves more than just watching the game. A pie, a pint, a chat with your mates are all part of the matchday experience. We have had numerous conversations about the standard of match day catering at the DW Stadium […]

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

Honours even at the seaside

A Wigan Athletic development squad traveled to Southport to play what is becoming a traditional curtain raiser to the new season enabling a sizeable traveling support to see the bright hopes for the future in action. The Wigan side was shorn of some of their bigger names in Mustoe, Redmond et al but showed that […]

Football or music ?

                  One of the threads here at thisnorthernsoul was a debate about Football or Music,  http://www.thisnorthernsoul.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=8998.0  so this reminded me of a time from an era of my youth, this year is 40 Years since the Bickershaw Pop Festival in 1972 Now even though it was “my era” […]

Goal of the Season

It’s impossible to say which of the 37 goals, scored by Latics this year, was the one that kept us up in the end.  The obvious candidate would be Unsworth’s penalty but it could just as easily go to one of the few goals that didn’t matter, the fourth against City, Landzaat’s consolation at the […]

Is Rosler looking towards Brentford?

  “We will be investing in our playing and coaching staff, and I think it’s important to keep working on changing the culture at the football club.” So said Uwe Rosler to the Wigan Evening Post this week. When Roberto Martinez took over as manager of Wigan Athletic in June 2009, he quickly got to […]
