It’s never dull is it?

It’s never dull is it (c)   Understatement of the century that particular Wigan Athletic phrase.   Another twenty four hours, another episode of upheaval, another period of instability.   We should be used to them by now, but each time this happens the more damaging the feeling among the fanbase.   So let’s recap […]

The second coming

So here it is, the worst kept secret in football was revealed on Monday morning as Gary Caldwell returned to Wigan Athletic. If anyone had any doubts about Caldwell’s return they only need to watch his two long form interviews with both the BBC and the official club website. Caldwell was as impressive as one […]

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 […]

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, […]

Dancing with Ghosts…

As you wake up with the fear from your work’s do and head towards the chaos of Mad Friday, Tony Topping reminds us that, sometimes, you do want to remember those Christmas nights out. Dancing With The Ghosts Of Wigan Casino, 1973 The cold December wind cut through the hole in the window and its […]

Delayed reaction – Liverpool Report

Latics 0-1 Liverpool Saturday 29th September 2007 I’m never quite sure whether my lackadaisical approach to deadlines is a good thing or not.  As far as match reports are concerned, it often gets to the stage where I wonder whether it’s worth it at all.  By the time Wednesday comes around, I’ve forgotten the finer […]

So good they

Well, if England played international class football last night then half the Latics team deserve to be at the World Cup in the summer. After an average first half, they managed to ship four goals in what has to be the most spineless second half I’ve seen at that level. If that game was supposed […]

A thorn in their side

West Brom 1 – 2 Wigan Athletic Saturday 10th September 2005 On day of debuts for strikers all across the Premier League it could be argued that David Connolly’s had the lowest profile.  Yet come 4:45 he was the only one that had the immediate impact that fans look for.  Elsewhere Owen’s first start for […]

Are we still on the Premier League NewsNow then?

It would appear so. Congratulations to Crystal Palace who won promotion to the Premier League earlier this afternoon. I’m sure not too many of us will mourn the fact we won’t be having to travel to deepest, darkest Croydon next season. Let’s therefore have a quick run down of the teams we will be facing […]
