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 […]
Before it’s too late
We or rather the collective we, IE me – said that last week something had to change. Well we’ve now reached the point where that change required is immediate. Wigan Athletic need a change of management with urgency or for the first time in over thirty years Wigan Athletic could find themselves in the bottom […]
Other Stuff
Brut: not just an aftershave
With Saturday’s game against Sheffield Wednesday on the horizon, we’ve been turning our minds to things that would be worth going to Sheffield for, even if you didn’t want to pay £33 to get into a football match. Chris pointed us in the direction of one of Sheffield’s less expected landmarks and this article that […]
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 […]

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 […]

From the archives – Hair Today
I’m having a bit of a barren spell at the moment so it seems a good time to dredge up this blast from the notapatchon past. This article first appeared on the site in January 2011 when, ironically, I used it to cover up the fact I was having a barren spell on the writing […]
The Tortoise and the Hare
He’s not the one who will take the credit for it but last Sunday was all about one man: Roberto Martinez. Last seen on the Britannia Stadium pitch being bounced up and down by his squad, these movements were a fair reflection of results during his two seasons in charge, although like most of us, […]
WE’RE DOOMED!!!
Right, hopefully that’s got your attention, now onto business. Why are we doomed? Well we’re not, but I reckon that’s the most common prediction we’ve heard from Latics fans over the last five or six seasons so it’s a totally appropriate introduction to a plug for our prediction league. Patent Predictions has been running for […]
