How do you begin to describe the last week? With great difficulty to be truthful, Tuesday evening Latics supporters the world over were saluting what seemed a job well done. Paul Cook’s side had put in a fine performance to see off Stoke City and reach the magic 50 point mark, which would hopefully go […]
Seven matches undefeated, no goals conceded in five games and the only surprise being that it was over three and a half months in between game six and seven on that run. In this new world that we live in Wigan Athletic made it very much like the old world, with an assured and confident […]
It’s football Jim, but not as we know it. Latics are back in action tomorrow, behind closed doors and with a great deal of uncertainty around how the rest of the season will pan out. In these strange times, with no income, staff furloughed and players deferring wages a lot of clubs’ financial futures will […]
So fourteen weeks on from when we should have played Huddersfield it’s coming back – rightly or wrongly Wigan Athletic will return to competitive football. I’ve been clear throughout this that I didn’t think football should return, it feels wrong to consider football in this context when there are still thousands losing their lives each […]
Cure those self isolation blues with a non invasive dose of the Pie At Night podcast. We start off with a focussed discussion about football, things we miss from the past and what we think football will be like in the future but it quickly degenerates into bickering over postcodes and poached eggs. We talk […]
To the dream was the slogan from sponsors Budweiser during the competition and I wrote this soon after the final to relive some great memories. My hometown team achieved the ultimate childhood dream on Saturday 11 May 2013. Against the odds, Wigan Athletic, whose squad cost £11m, defeated last season’s Premier League champions Manchester City, […]
Those with a keen eye will be aware of the significance of that year, and now the reality is, that with time passing by, it is a mere twelve years away. It is just a year, a point in time in the future but on the 27th August 2032, it will be a hundred years […]
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 […]
