Time to concentrate on the league eh? I said I would be happy if we competed and compete we did, there was to be no 2018 style fairy tale but even being on the pitch in the first place is a fairy tale that I and many other supporters need reminding of. There was some […]
“We’re back and we’re ready for it all over again” No not Jeremy Corbyn in the 2017 general election but Wigan Athletic. I’ve spent the last few weeks talking about how we very nearly didn’t make it here, but make it we did thanks to the hard work of many. It’s going to be a […]
It’s often darkest before the dawn. And my word they have been dark days in Wigan over recent weeks. It’s been said why haven’t Amazon or Netflix decided to film a Sunderland or Wrexham type documentary about us. The reason why is that it would simply be seen as too unrealistic to ever be taken […]
How do you begin to describe the goings on of the last few days? With great difficulty I imagine. As always with these things, they break when you least want it to. I’ve been away with the kids for the last few days and without a match until Saturday thought it safe to turn off […]
I think any concerns about whether we could compete at this level were expelled on Saturday evening. A hard fought local derby against those lads from up the M6 showed that we can and will compete at this level. Unfortunately the injuries are piling up now, Jack Whatmough the latest to pick up a knock […]
Four points from the first three games, not a bad return considering we ended last season with five contracted players. Not bad either considering everything our club had to go through last season to even get to this point of starting the season. This seems to be forgotten by everyone else in League One at […]
The times are a changing. I’m not going to dwell on Sunday’s non-event. If it wasn’t for the most baffling refereeing decision you will ever see Latics would have won Sunday’s match comfortably. Instead a defensive collapse after Curtis Tilt’s dismissal led to Swindon taking the spoils. But we start next season in League One, […]
Safety with a game to spare, what was all the fuss about? Saturday was a bizarre day, the last year of following our football club has been bizarre but Saturday was the most bizarre of the lot. With so much riding on the result, in normal times there would be a convoy of Latics fans […]
So Wigan. We often talk about things that are just ‘so Wigan’, things that don’t happen to other clubs. Like your owner putting you in to administration after threatening to liquidate you a day after completing the takeover. All during a deadly pandemic. So Wigan. That trend of unique effects has continued as Wigan Athletic […]
How great a feeling is it not to spend every day wondering whether or not your football club will survive? The pain of the last nine months won’t disappear in a hurry but the relief of the last week has been palatable, we’ve got to hold on to this feeling and try to harness that […]
