Lost amidst the euphoria of a stunning performance over Ian Holloway’s Blackpool on Saturday was the fact that Wigan Athletic goal scorer Hugo Rodallega created a unique piece of Latics history for himself. The third minute strike was the Colombian hit man’s 21st goal in club colours, this means that he now enters the Wigan […]
This season for as long as I can remember we’ve been told our place or have been staring up at 17 or more teams. But for once, we can ‘just about’ have that destiny in our own hands! Wolves below us have a game in hand & before they play catch up against Stoke, all […]

So, a quick return to something that I started off back on notapatchon, but didn’t quite carry through, hopefully we can turn it into a bit of a regular feature here on This Northern Soul, but it wouldn’t be the first time that I’ve said that and failed. Anyway, so you get the Left Foot, […]

Because of a trip to Wales, and a weekend on the Fylde coast, Bernard won’t be putting together his usual “A Little Previous” this week, but as “our season starts here” and we’re all off to the seaside, it seems a little off if we didn’t mark the occassion. So in an attempt to make […]
If I’d been given a pound to go with every snide remark I’ve read or heard about attendances at Latics then I’d probably have enough money to buy up all the spare tickets at the DW ensuring a home sell out for the rest of the season. I’m also guessing that I’d be too minted […]

So that’s two more blank weekends in the goals scored column. Against Spurs, you can’t say it wasn’t for the lack of trying. With Gomes performing heroics in the Spurs goal and a shoot on sight policy albeit with the sights being aimed firmly in the North Stand in the first half, we certainly gave […]
