Have I missed anything?
There are podcast episodes that begin with a slick intro, a silky fade-in, and the unmistakable whiff of professionalism. This is not one of them. tPAN EP085 – “Did I miss anything?” opens in the rubble of a previous episode that apparently contained the best content ever recorded — except, crucially, it wasn’t recorded. So […]
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.

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 […]
Blackpool calling

April catch up
You take a bit of time off and all hell breaks loose. It’s over a month since we last spoke and a mixed bag of results have finally seen Latics creep past the 50 point marker but at the same time fall away from the race for a European place. As we approach the final […]
Fine tuning the 3-5-2 system
A bad start to the season is not uncommon for Wigan Athletic. The beginning of the 2011-12 season was no exception. A 3-1 home loss to Wolves in early November was their eighth consecutive defeat and Roberto Martinez clearly had to look at changing something. The changes he made took some time to take effect, […]
