Not a fit for Wigan Athletic, then, now indeed ever
Two months too late but finally the decision that should have been made has been made. Embarrassing that it took a 6-1 mauling to do it. Rather than any sort of recognition of the malaise we’ve found ourselves in for the majority of this season. A club legend last season who hadn’t seen us in […]

If our players aren’t falling over in the box then they’re using karate instead of tackling and if it’s not that then they’re just […]
