Late to the party, as always, the Pie at Night had to cancel a podcast recording (yes we did, we don’t care whether you believe us or not) to be at the meeting between the board, the manager, various reprobates and the right honourable George Chilvers at the DW stadium last night. Factually or opinion […]
I’ve read the word “fault” about a million times over the last couple of weeks, but you know what? I’m not even sure what it is we’re trying to blame people for. Wind back eighteen months or so and Phoenix 2021 took over the shell of a club, they got the name, the ground, the […]
“Alan, some of the stuff is so off the wall…” Gerald Krasner, Wigan Athletic Administrator, 27th August 2020. Imagine standing on the edge of a cliff, peering at the rocks below, there’s a biting cold rain and a bitter wind at your back. A strange rasping voice in your ear tells you it’s only a […]
Although the latest news on the Spanish group makes it seem like the other groups floating around Latics will all be non-starters, there’s still been lots of chatter about what might be involved in these potential bids. Our good friend and Mudhutter editor Migs has gone straight to the horses mouth to get the lowdown […]
I’ve tried hard, and succeeded, to keep away from two phrases since 1st July 2020. One of them is “we told you so”. There’s never a good time for those sentiments but maybe the time has come for the other. Following yesterday’s launch from the Supporter’s clubyesterday’s launch from the Supporter’s club, I guess that now […]
As you’ve probably picked up, Wigan Athletic are in a bit of mither at the minute. Amongst all the financial shenanigans and international mystery, fans are trying to raise enough money to get our club to the end of the season. Here at the Pie at Night, we’ve revisited our classic ‘Ticspotting design and given […]
Given that Wei Au Yeung’s stewardship over Wigan Athletic presided over just three games you could forgive him for not having attended any of the club’s games. With the current travel restrictions, you might forgive him for never actually setting foot in Wigan. You could, you might, but if you consider what’s happened over the […]
Anyone who’s listened to the podcast might find this hard to believe but I try to work on the principle of “if you’ve nothing to say, say nothing”. Keep your trap shut, listen to what other people have to say and only join in the conversation when you can add to it. It’s certainly never […]
No, how’s YOUR new year’s resolution to get back on the writing horse going? Well, I’m late. Three weeks since the turn of the year, 21 one days (nearly) since that season turning victory at Birmingham and two hundred and seventy minutes of turgid, energy sapping, inexplicably rubbish football since there was even a chink […]
Welcome to Episode 66 of the Podcast in which Jimmy, Alan, Chris and Luke talk around the elephant in the room waiting for someone to scream “COOK OUT”. There’s New Year’s resolutions. Made up stats, TV and Brexit flavoured train tapas. Oh, and V… A… effin R. Of course there’s way too much football. You […]
