Popping Cherries
Let’s be upfront. We didn’t go to the game, most of you didn’t go to the game, and so instead of a pretend match report, let’s have a look at the things that made us go “hmmm…” this weekend.

Not the programme #3
If you’re one of the 400-odd hardy souls who’ve braved the trip to the soul coast then welcome to you your handy post-match guide to the week on the Pie at Night. For the rest of you, here’s something to fill and hour or so before you’re forced to get off the couch and do […]
A Perfect Hat-Trick v2.0 #5 – Omens
We’re supposed to do these regular things, but half the time we forget/can’t be bothered/have better things to do. No more though. 2018 (or at least the first week of it) is going to see us making more of an effort to entertain you, Dear Reader. Earlier today, Chris went out and spoke to John […]

Through the etched glass window
There are two things I usually do this time of year. One, write an article where I pretend I’ve only just realised that the football season has started and two, try and sum up where the transfer window has taken Latics. So, here goes… September? It’s September already? How did that happen, how are […]
