It’s happened again
How do you begin to describe a night like Tuesday I’ve not really got the words, there have been some fantastic high points this season – undoubtedly some low points as well. But they would be expected in a season where we started on minus eight points and are having to re-build the club from […]
Under the lights
Has anybody got any fingernails left after Saturday? Talk about nervy endings to a match. Saturday was a really important result, for one Shrewsbury are close to us in the table and secondly it was a return to winning ways after two disappointing defeats against both Exeter and Oxford. Latics looked in control against Shrewsbury […]

Puffers to Pemps
On the fifth anniversary of the demolition of one iconic Wigan landmark, we take in some 2009 memories of the place from Tony Topping… This summer a legend passed away, loved by some and hated by many. If your thinking Michael Jackson think again dear friend, the legend was Barbara Calderbank. My association with Barbara, […]
A pathetic shopping spree
If you move in certain Twitter circles then you’ll have come across The Pathetic Casuals. Once they were young lads and lasses, touring the country in following the team they love, dressed up the nines and making sure they were seen and heard. Now, as age, parenthood, mortgages and world weariness catches up with them, […]
Wigan Pies for Wigan People
Here at the Pie At Night we believe in attending a football match (or indeed rugby) involves more than just watching the game. A pie, a pint, a chat with your mates are all part of the matchday experience. We have had numerous conversations about the standard of match day catering at the DW Stadium […]
Blackpool calling
It’s New Year and that can only mean one thing, not a return to work not a set of un-assailable New Year resolutions but for me and over a thousand other people THE soul music event of the year. For the uninitiated let me set some context to this claim. Now in to a fourteenth […]

Wigan gained a much needed three points in their campaign for a return to the Premier League with a committed team performance providing further evidence of the changes that Uwe Rosler is making within the club.
Wigan Athletic vs Fulham Preview (2012/13) – The Self Pity Chronicles
Right, the match preview, funny you should ask! Wednesday in the TNS office after the big Mug movement, Bernard the best ukulele playing Boss in Wigan, told me I needed to get the article ready for proof reading that afternoon. I instead wanted to do a Политбюро IP Ping Sweep of the TNS users that […]
Sparked out – City Report
Bang up to date, as always, but my excuse is this that is about the fourth time of asking for this match report. In the main that’s because of my terminal laziness, but on top of that, I’ve found myself hampered by a certain amount of frustration at both a lack of insight from Sky’s […]
One last push
Last week I spoke about something being ‘so Wigan’, a chain of events being so unheard of that it could only involve Wigan. Imagine my horror as I checked the BBC Sport app on Tuesday night to see Rochdale 3-2 Wimbledon, the very same Wimbledon who couldn’t stop winning in recent weeks. I think I […]
