It’s a new season and, here at the Pie at Night, we’re approaching it with a new sense of enthusiasm and vigour. In reality what that means is we’re going to be trying to stay out of the pub (and Booths food hall) for long enough to keep you up to date with our thoughts […]
So here we go again, just over 12 weeks has passed from that Sunday in early May as Latics saw out the season with a well-earned point against Millwall and the football season is back again. It’s a common theme – people like me complaining about the season starting earlier each year but I think […]
We normally do this thing we call Sixy Talk it’s a quickfire way, unusual for us we know, of catching up with opposition fans ahead of games. We decided to get into the swing early this year and grabbed two Evertonians off of Twitter to grill. However, in terms of keeping thins down to six […]
Well, that was quite a break wasn’t it? Anyway, we are back from our extended jaunt to comb over the end of the season. So where have we been: we’ve walked to Leeds, we’ve had our end of season do when we were joined by a couple of lunatic Icelandic Latics fans, ate bountiful amounts […]
There’s a lot written about whether fanzines are on the rise or decline. Certainly sales are falling as are the number of different fanzines but there is still a core that are remarkably resilient.

In amongst many of the daft yet noble ideas I have, you may recall that a month or two ago, the Dave Whelan statue outside the Dave Whelan Stadium was vandalised, by someone who presumably has no concept whatsoever as to what Dave Whelan has done for the town from a sporting perspective. Fed up […]
Job done – that will no doubt be the overriding feeling as Wigan Athletic take to the pitch at the DW for the final time this Sunday. It’s been quite the turnaround over the last month, Latics looked to be staring down the barrel following the last minute defeat against Hull but truly turned it […]
Welcome to the last Mudhutter of the season. 44 pages of beautiful, heartfelt content about this and that. Let’s get things out of the way first: the football may have taken a turn for the better but the sentiment remains. We’ll all be there next season right? We certainly will. It is quite the eclectic […]
How do you put the last couple of weeks in to words? Words won’t really do the events of April any justice. Following the Hull game where Latics were so cruelly robbed of a valuable point on the road Paul Cook’s side were truly looking down the barrel. The turn around from that night has […]
I said ahead of Sunday’s match with table topping Norwich that I wanted to see fight from Paul Cook and fight from his players. We had that and more on Sunday, Paul Cook stated at the end of the match that he had wanted Norwich to know they had been in a game and that […]
