Anyone coming away from the latest fans forum on Tuesday night could have been forgiven for wonder what the problem is. So impressive were Darren Royle, Jonathan Jackson and Paul Cook that one would think we were riding high at the top of the league rather than languishing towards the bottom. In the lieu of […]
One step forward, two steps back – it’s a mantra that can be applied to our season at any point since October. We seemed to have got over a mini blip in November with an excellent win over Blackburn, and a point on the road at Bolton. Only to go on to lose the next […]
I like to do a little write up every time we do a podcast, no matter how irregular they may be. However, now I’ve gone a bit irregular so bear with me. Episode 49 starts with a load of profanity and drunkenness and gets a lot worse but that is that is certainly not to […]
Fate Sealed? The defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday had somewhat of a final feel to it. Not a cup final of course, the days of those are long gone. But a final nail in the coffin? Perhaps. The results from the weekend hadn’t helped in anyway. Bristol City looking dead and buried before they […]
Another week in the life of Wigan Athletic, not much to report this week. A depressing draw against one of the poorest sides we’ve seen down at the Dave Whelan stadium this season and the cancellation of two media appearances by the manager due to ill health. It never rains but it pours. Let’s begin […]
What did I say about a rollercoaster last week? If we were on an upward incline last week we’re definitely back on that downward trend this week. It doesn’t feel terminal just yet but make no mistake the failure to take only 1 point from the last two games makes the fight against relegation a […]
I’m never short for words but trying to insert the right ones is proving increasingly difficult. There’s something about being a Wigan Athletic fan which induces personality disorders. You’d perhaps have to go all the way back to the Paul Jewell era to find a period whereby we could say with any sort of certainty […]
What’s that I see? Green shoots of recovery? It may be too early to decide what Saturday was, whether it was a blip on an otherwise downward trajectory or if it was the kick up the proverbial that we needed. Whatever it was it was welcome and it was timely, if we had lost against […]
A frosty winter of discontent or a fresh new breeze sweeping through the DW Stadium? Whilst cover star, Dylan is stuck in Belarus suffering temperatures of minus 25, the rest of the crew are in surprisingly hearty mood given the FA Cup result and subsequent draw. Kicking off with some Warren Joyce facts (of a […]
