When your luck’s against you, your luck’s against you. It feels like it’s been a long time since that last minute kick in the teeth at Bloomfield Road. After having an excellent record, when playing at Blackpool for so long it feels like they’ve got a hold on us these days. It was another disappointing […]
As refereeing performances go, it wasn’t the best was it? I mean, before we even start on the Charlie Hughes red that arguably never was. The referee had already missed a rugby tackle before the sending-off, on a Barnsley defender by Matt Smith instead handing a free kick to Latics instead. Sadly the sending off […]
They think it’s all over, well it isn’t just yet – but realistically will be soon. Doesn’t quite have the same ring to it does it? Sadly as the Sky commentator commented on Tuesday night even a win against Stoke will mean Latics are looking for snookers in their efforts to stay up. The performance […]
‘It’s never dull’ they say, I wish it was. Just one normal footballing season for Wigan Athletic Association Football Club, that’s all I ask … Will never happen. Tuesday felt different, I don’t know why. Same line-up, same decent first half, same end result. Same as it’s been for a while but the end result […]
So that’s the week that was, it’s very much one step forward and two steps back for Wigan Athletic at the moment. This is natural with a club still in the pits of administration and all the chaos that goes with it, especially a side that is so young and with such a high turnover […]
If Carlsberg did promotion eh? What a day Saturday was, what a weekend it was. You felt something special was in the offing on Friday morning, as over a hundred walkers including the chairman, the chief executive and young Joseph Kendrick himself gathered at the Wigan Athletic training centre to begin the long walk to […]
Nearly there, the finishing line is in sight we’re that close. Tuesday was a difficult match, no doubt about it. Oxford under Karl Robinson are a different prospect to the Oxford we faced in December. Gone are the open free flowing football side we faced and in its place are a carbon copy of Robinson’s […]
Two games, seven goals scored, two wins. Alright one win came from the bulk of our youth side in the imaginatively named check-a-trade trophy but that’s a decent return by anyone’s standards. We’ve had worse weeks – as the old adage goes. Saturday was excellent from start to finish as is any away day in […]
A David Perkins goal, a surreal cup situation, a Lancashire hotpot to savour and some truly sad news means that there’s lots and lots and lots to chew over this week over in Latics Land. Let’s begin with a fine display against Blackpool and the elements on Saturday. I think it’s fair to say that […]
Hello, good morning and welcome to your (when we can be bothered) regular round-up of all things tPAN related. It’s been a funny old week, starting with a 3-0 victory that was, to say the least, harder than the score line suggested and finished, for a lot of you, in early trains, #cans and a […]
