Another week in purgatory flies by, 206 days in total now. Not that anyone is counting. I’d like to perhaps talk about the on field activity this week but I can’t promise it will last, as one is inextricably linked to the other. Now, more so than ever. So when Rochdale went down to ten […]
“The daily scrutiny from people who actually aren’t that educated, but seem to have the biggest opinions – I personally find quite difficult.” No one could ever claim that the relationship between administrators Begbies Traynor and Wigan Athletic fans had ever been all rosy but relations soured even further this week as another dramatic 24 […]

Is football about glory or pain? For those of us who invest our time and money in clicking through that turnstile or travelling the country, you could argue it is about lots of suffering, which is rewarded by the occasional glimpse of glory.
