Is this it? Is the nightmare going to come to an end? In this horrific years of years will Wigan Athletic supporters be bestowed with an early Christmas present? As always over the last eleven weeks – who knows? It’s now over two weeks since Jose Miguel Garrido Cristo was disqualified by the EFL and […]
In the words of The League of Gentlemen’s Pappa Lazarou – “This is just a saga now” So what new drama will the next week bring? In the strange world of Wigan Athletic we can never be sure what’s approaching around the corner. Lazarou himself could appear at the DW next week, multiple wives in […]
Is football about glory or pain?

Our good friend and Mudhutter editor Migs has gone straight to the horses mouth to get the lowdown […]

It’s often said that Wigan Athletic achieved more in 25 years than most clubs did in a 125 years.
