‘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 […]
Talk about mixed emotions, Saturday evening was the lowest I felt in a long time. We’ve had defeats, lots of defeats in this hellish season but very few felt like they did Saturday. They say it’s the hope that kills you and there’s nowhere that lives up to that like WN5, despite being 2-0 down […]
What a truly horrific month July has been, in a year that keeps on kicking you long after the referee has rung the bell at the side of the ring. To be honest Wednesday night against Fulham followed much the same path as I had expected, but where I thought we would probably get the […]
So here we go again, just two short years since our first game back in the third tier we’re back again. Ready for another attempt at League One and as Joe Fagin sang in Auf Wiedersehen Pet ‘Get it right this time’. It’s been a summer of change in the corridors of power at the […]
Time gentlemen please And now, the end is near And so I face the final curtain… You can certainly say we’ve done it ‘our way’ this year, sadly ‘our way’ has just been the wrong way all through the season. So where to start with the weekly review of all things Wigan Athletic? Saturday was […]
I started writing this article over the weekend, fuelled by another inept performance at home against a side who should have been dispatched if they had been attacked with any sort of conviction. The events of yesterday have changed the tone slightly of this piece now, but still leaves many thoughts running through my head. […]
With thanks to @weahscousin for the title, Alan considers yesterday’s events and comes out with no fear. Not like a t-shirt, like he’s not scared of what’s to come…
This week’s article has a distinctly more positive feel to it than I originally had planned. The reason for that? Well after seemingly being dead and buried on Saturday evening, Latics in typical Latics fashion got a crucial win at Birmingham to throw themselves right back in to the survival mix. Let’s not kid ourselves, […]
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 […]
