Always look on the bright side of life, as Eric Idle and Monty Python once sang and frankly that’s a line that a lot of Latics fans need right now. A draw against Oxford wasn’t the worst result on Tuesday, coming off the back of a disappointing draw at Cheltenham probably didn’t help but some […]
It’s been quite the re-introduction to football hasn’t it? After the self-enforced break over Christmas Latics have come roaring back, with the country stepping back from the precipice of further restrictions that seemed inevitable after that Oxford match it’s made the last few weeks even more exciting. Tuesday nights win in the Pizza Trophy makes […]
In a terrible twist on words is it time for Sir Humphrey to step up? Not Sir Humphrey Appleby but our own Stephen Humphries. Another remarkable week for Wigan Athletic, not without it’s controversy it must be admitted but a remarkable week all the same. It’s six points from six in Wigan Athletic’s return to […]
There’s drama and then there’s DRAMA, Latics delivered the latter in spades on Saturday afternoon. After nearly three weeks without football it was like we had never been away last week with a resounding win over Oldham followed by that win over Blackburn. Mr Happy aka Tony Mowbray has Blackburn dreaming of a return to […]
How good was it to get back out there on Tuesday night? Yes it was the much derided Pizza Cup, and yes it was a much changed Oldham side but to see us back out there, nearly three weeks since we last stepped out was good to see. Fair play to the over 500 hardy […]
There was a question posed on social media this week, I’m paraphrasing but essentially it was asking what was the worst feeling after a match involving your team. There were many to choose from, even though we’ve had more highs than lows over the last couple of decades. Immediately the ones that spring to mind […]
It always amazes me at Wigan Athletic, with all of our history with late goals and comebacks there’s still a sizeable amount who depart before the final whistle each week without fail. Even this season knowing what had come against Rotherham, Cambridge, Plymouth and countless others. Would you leave? Thelo Aasgaard thankfully went right to […]
It’s truly amazing, no matter what the season. What the situation is, over a near 20 year period now Wigan Athletic have managed to produce squad after squad of lads who just get us. They get that we’re not the biggest club, and that shock horror we don’t have the same level of support as […]
The Oxbridge double-header or at least it should have been. Imagine mine and everyone’s surprise as midday approached on Saturday afternoon and the official club account tweeted about the postponement of the afternoon’s festivities against Oxford United. Imagine how it must have felt for hundreds of Oxford fans well on their way through a 165 […]
Ahhh Solihull, with your welcome colder than Thatcher’s heart. It wasn’t a classic on Tuesday night, be that in the form of an away day or a performance. Despite proudly advertising four bars on their website you’re not allowed in any of them if you come to watch the away team. God help you if […]
