Jordi Gomez is a footballer whose playing style can drive people to the extremes of both ecstasy and despair. Never before has a Wigan Athletic player polarized public opinion in the way he does. Following his sumptuous free kick against Charlton his name has been bandied about the social media and fan forums. That last […]
“He should have scored.” “He should have done better.” How many times have we heard comments like that coming from our television football match commentaries? Typically it is the ‘expert’ who makes the comment, an ex-player who through his prior experience is assumed to have a grasp of the tactical and analytical side of […]
As part of our continuing effort to keep Latics supporters informed about new recruits, we have invited a New York Red Bulls supporter to guest write an article about new centre-half Markus Holgersson.
Seeing Josh McEachran put through that exquisite pass for Marco Fortune’s equalising goal on Saturday made one wonder if he provide that extra kind of spark that can propel Latics into the play-off zone by the end of the season.

The feeling at the time among Latics supporters was of being “underwhelmed”. Was this the best that Roberto Martinez could […]
Wigan Athletic’s failure to win at Middlesbrough on Tuesday leaves them seven points short of the play-off zone, level on points with the north east club, but having played two games less. “Before the game I would have taken a point” said Uwe Rosler, nevertheless disappointed with his team’s performance and their inability to play […]
In May 2013 it looked like a fire sale was on its way at Wigan Athletic. Having lost its place in the Premier League the club looked ready to sell most of its prized assets. There was a need to cut the wage bill to meet the harsh financial reality of relegation and to create a […]
Wigan Athletic travel to the Keepmoat Stadium this afternoon having won their last three away games and being unbeaten in the league in seven matches under Uwe Rosler. Doncaster are fighting to get themselves out of the relegation mire, currently sitting on 22nd place. Their home record reads W4 D2 L6. Under normal circumstances one […]
