And so to April….after what seemed an endless stop/start period, Wigan Athletic now face eight games on eight consecutive weekends which will determine the team’s fate. There seems to be a lot of positivity knocking around, boosted by Maynor Figueroa’s late winner against Birmingham the week before last, that Latics can somehow pull the points […]

Unfortunately that has coincided with Latics losing two games that we might have […]
Birmingham 0-0 Latics Saturday 25th September 2010 It’s 0-0, you’re entering the closing stages of the game, the opposition have one of the best crossers of a ball in the division in their side and they’re just about to bring on a seven foot centre forward. Of course it makes for a nervy few minutes. […]
Pete from ManCityblog.com popped over, ahead of Sunday’s Latics v Man City game, for a virtual brew this week and took the chance to ask me some questions. In return I got the chance to try and get closure on some old wounds.
