We played Leeds yesterday, and somehow Wigan Athletic won a football match. Against Leeds. At Elland Road. Again! You may remember last time we played there. It was a memorable day for all kinds of reasons but sixty or so people who took time off work and walked fifty eight excruciating miles over three days, have […]
They say you often have to hit rock bottom before you can begin to see a change, and a change is definitely what we saw on Tuesday night. First off let’s look at the starting line-up and the first half – Joe Gelhardt earned his first start for the club and was part of a […]
Anyone who’s listened to the podcast might find this hard to believe but I try to work on the principle of “if you’ve nothing to say, say nothing”. Keep your trap shut, listen to what other people have to say and only join in the conversation when you can add to it. It’s certainly never […]
What a sorry state we’re in, a season that promised so much has truly descended in to the ridiculous. That win over Cardiff at the start of August feels a million miles away now and Wigan Athletic are truly staring in to the abyss as January draws to a close. The alarm bells were there […]
No, how’s YOUR new year’s resolution to get back on the writing horse going? Well, I’m late. Three weeks since the turn of the year, 21 one days (nearly) since that season turning victory at Birmingham and two hundred and seventy minutes of turgid, energy sapping, inexplicably rubbish football since there was even a chink […]
What a great big f***ing mess. A lesson in how not to run and manage a football club at the moment, seemingly. Now let’s get this straight, sport in general – and football in particular – is the most difficult industry out there. It’s the place where level-headed businessmen and women lose their heads. It’s […]
I was going to let it lie but I feel the need to say my piece. Last night, social media was an angry place. I get it, our record is appalling and whereas I have never been one to scream for a manager’s head, it is beyond any rationale that Paul Cook still has a […]
Welcome to the podcast that is marginally more appealing than rats hung up at a service station. We sum up our Christmas cheer, before suggesting some helpful New Year’s Resolutions that Paul Cook might like to adopt. Following that, we begin to discuss THE FOOTBALL. And yes it is grim as you like, with one […]
I’ve had some disappointment in my time watching Latics but none left me feeling quite as empty as Saturday’s defeat to Bristol City did. Another dominant Wigan Athletic performance where Paul Cook’s side looked like they would make it back to back wins, instead we managed once again to snatch defeat from the jaws of […]
It’s been a while since I sat down and put pen to paper or rather fingers to keys, regarding the most frustrating football club in the country. In that time we’ve once again been the better team in all of our league matches, playing Blackburn and Nottingham Forest off the pitch yet only managing one […]
