There’s drama and then there’s DRAMA, Latics delivered the latter in spades on Saturday afternoon. After nearly three weeks without football it was like we had never been away last week with a resounding win over Oldham followed by that win over Blackburn. Mr Happy aka Tony Mowbray has Blackburn dreaming of a return to […]
How good was it to get back out there on Tuesday night? Yes it was the much derided Pizza Cup, and yes it was a much changed Oldham side but to see us back out there, nearly three weeks since we last stepped out was good to see. Fair play to the over 500 hardy […]
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 difficult to describe how disappointing the last few days have been, following the home draws against Stoke and Middlesbrough Paul Cook’s side had the ideal opportunity in games against Derby, Reading and Blackburn to put some clear distance between them and the bottom three and actually go a long way to sealing Championship survival […]
What to make of Wednesday night? Well I thought our goals were very scruffy, and we treated the Blackburn players very shabbily, persistently manhandling them and fouling, whilst they were playing by far the better football throughout the game. Whoops, my apologies – I thought I was Tony Mowbray then for a second! Seriously, what […]
It is a new era on Saturday but I fully expect events to unfold gradually rather than a big bang approach. There’s some different blokes in the board room but I expect that just like the last lot, they will be hoping for a home win. There’s no shame in losing a long unbeaten home […]
It’s hard to succinctly put the choice words together to summarise my emotions following the events of last weekend. Ultimately, when attempting to select from all the erudite phrases bouncing around my fatigued cranium, I keep returning to the words of one Dora the Explorer: WE DID IT!!! We did it in style as well. […]
I’m a bit dubious about what to write here, mainly because I’m of a nervous disposition. In life generally but especially when it comes to all matters Wigan Athletic. As football fans, we invest such a large part of our lives in our football club and the full range of emotions is never far away. […]
Dropping to third place in the table and suffering a damaging defeat on the South Coast wasn’t exactly the way Latics expected to round off the Easter Weekend. Especially when Paul Cook’s side had returned to the top of the table in blistering fashion on Friday afternoon. If the loss to Portsmouth showcased the worst […]
How do we spin this one then? Football club goes on tremendous cup run, gets global exposure and is now just one game off an unlikely Wembley trip. Yet back in the humdrum world of League football, it feels like we are tumbling fast, despite barely playing a game. You can’t fault Blackburn Rovers for […]
