Oh, what a week eh? I’m not going to try and dress this up, I’ve got a right monk on. Father Jack has really surpassed himself this week, scripting and taking the lead role in a storyline that you’d dismiss as unbelievable if it happened on a soap. No matter how you look at the […]
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GccPPnee-4I?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent] What a delight it was for a Latics fan to watch Shaun Maloney curl in that beauty for Scotland last Friday. It was reminiscent of the gem he scored in that 1-0 win for Latics against Manchester United in April 2012. A lot has happened since that memorable first win over the Red […]
“Following the incredible achievements of last season, I felt it was the right thing to do that he should be given more time. However, the situation we find ourselves in at the moment, and the run of results in recent months, really has been alarming. Something is clearly not working. For whatever reason, the team […]
In the mid 1960’s Allan Brown’s Wigan Athletic team played the kind of football fans liked to watch. There were two excellent wingers, Les Campbell and Walter Stanley, who would put over a stream of tantalizing crosses for the twin strikers to feed on. No wonder that Latics scored 121 goals in the 1964-65 […]
On August 30th Wigan Athletic destroyed Birmingham City 4-0. The performance was a revelation, far removed from the mediocrity of the displays that had preceded it. Moreover Andy Delort was introduced to the Latics faithful before the match started and within a couple of days Adam Forshaw and William Kvist were to be snapped up. […]

“Roger has trained very well for the last couple of weeks, he is in good spirits and he will be in the squad.” Does that statement suggest that Uwe Rosler has welcomed Roger Espinoza back into the fold? Until last night the American/Honduran had played only 12 minutes of Championship football this season, coming after […]
With the Brentford game looming Billy Grant (@billythebee99) of the Beesotted fanzine asked us to respond to some questions about what has been happening to Latics. So lets cut to the chase here … Wigan’s start to the season hasn’t been quite as expected hasn’t it? The season has been like an uncomfortable rollercoaster ride for […]
Shaun Maloney has had a pretty miserable time over the past twelve months, but he can still hit the headlines. He was already being quoted about the resurgence of Gordon Strachan’s Scotland side before his deflected shot sealed a 1-0 victory for them over Georgia in midweek. Now he is in the limelight once more, […]
Rumours are breaking from the Christopher Park that a number of Latics players may have turned up for training this morning. These may have included the likes of ex-Cardiff duo Andrew Taylor and Don Cowie who might have commented on how much they were enjoying their time at the club, if anyone asked them about […]
