Yep, it’s a COVID-19 special. Quite possibly, the only time you will hear the words going viral associated with this podcast. We’re back in virtual form after a long absence. We talk panic buying and more importantly, what we think Latics players and officials are buying right now. Time to take stock of where we […]
It will come as no surprise that unfortunately we have taken the decision to postpone this year’s walk given the current climate. It is looking increasingly likely that if we walked to Barnsley we would have no match to watch when we got there. It would also be irresponsible to have up to 80 people […]
We live in truly unprecedented times, it feels like it’s been a constant curve of sheer madness since 2016 but the last few weeks have really ramped that unprecedented feeling up a notch. How does this relate to Latics I hear you ask? Well sadly if the experts are to be believed (remember them? Seems […]
Three matches – three wins, nine points, five goals, zero conceded. What a remarkable week for Paul Cook and his Wigan Athletic side. I asked last week had Latics managed to turn a corner in the fight against the drop, I think it’s safe to say they definitely have. The fight now is to ensure […]
Has a corner been turned? There have been positive signs of life for Wigan Athletic since the Christmas period, though results didn’t necessarily follow. In the 15 matches since that defeat to Luton at the start of December Latics have only lost four times. More importantly since the defeat to Preston at the start of […]
So near, yet so far. Latics are improving – no doubt about that. The question is if that improvement can continue and if Latics have enough to stay up. It’s still too early to say but the next fee weeks should give us a clearer idea of our fate. Saturday’s match against play-off chasing Cardiff […]
As if there wasn’t enough reasons to hate Millwall, they also managed to let me down on my coupon last weekend by winning away at Preston. I have also filed this under my extensive “reasons to hate Preston” list for good measure, why couldn’t they be useless the week before? The thing is, without ever […]
Oliver Langford? We’d have been better off with Bonnie Langford reffing us. So I uttered after the game, probably for the first time, since the last time we played them. In a small sense, it was reassuring to see the fans take out their displeasure on the man with the whistle rather than the players […]
Lightning doesn’t strike twice or so the saying goes, whoever wrote that clearly hasn’t visited Elland Road with Wigan Athletic. I travelled over the Pennines to Leeds on Saturday more in trepidation than expectation. The buzz from that last minute Jamal Lowe winner against Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday was in mind as I left Manchester […]
We played Leeds yesterday, and somehow Wigan Athletic won a football match. Against Leeds. At Elland Road. Again! You may remember last time we played there. It was a memorable day for all kinds of reasons but sixty or so people who took time off work and walked fifty eight excruciating miles over three days, have […]
