Keeping the faith
It’s been a bruising couple of weeks for John Sheridan’s Wigan Athletic. Let’s take a look at Saturday’s trip to Charlton shall we? The scene of where things fell apart last season (well if we ignore Stanley Choi, Au Yeung and the EFL that is) comparing the performance at Charlton with that of Crewe is […]
Endless limbo
Another week passes by, another week full of conjecture and misinformation surrounding the future of Wigan Athletic. Late on Friday evening confirmation that we could indeed begin the season was announced by the club after the football league had granted the administrators request. Thanks Rick we’re truly humbled that you’re letting us play again {roll […]

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, […]

Watford vs Wigan Athletic – Match Preview
A cracking result for Wigan, to beat Rotherham at the New York Stadium on Saturday, meant that the gap to the team in 21st place (Fulham & Rotherham) was cut to just 6 points. Momentum has an opportunity to jump on the Coach with the Wigan players for the drive down the M6 & M1 […]
A funny thing happened…
You turn your back and it all happens. A busy couple of weeks at work, a week away camping and the club manages to put fans through all sorts of turmoil. Old friends have dragged up old arguments new friends have joined the party but more have checked out and all the while agents seem […]
Spurs (a) report
Spurs 2- 2 Latics Sunday 19th February 2006 A impressive performance and a brace of nicely taken goals from Andreas Johansson were not enough to win this game, but the Swede will be hoping it was enough to give Paul Jewell a selection headache for next week’s League Cup final. The makeshift forward’s second and […]
