Like pretty much everyone who claims to follow ‘WAFC The Religion’, I was rather disappointed by last week’s result at Hull. Off the back of a defeat of Chelsea, I’d say we’d have certainly been looking to claim a point at the very least. Things looked to start well enough, Latics dominating first half possession. […]
Well, MySpace might be dead, or dying, but if anything that adds to it’s attraction for me. It was the first Social Network I got into (apart from the so un-user friendly one that goes by the name of life) but I’ve left my MySpace alone for ages and can’t summon the energy to drag […]
I play poker, or at least I do if it’s still called poker when you play as badly as I do. It’s probably just called “slow money transfer” or “pissing your disposable income up the wall”. It’s not that I don’t know how to play poker, at least at a basic level, it’s just that […]
Excuses? There are none. I read somewhere once that football is a game of mistakes, and that’s about right. Rarely is it a moment of brilliance that takes home the points and whilst it happens more frequently, well worked moves finishing in goals are few and far between. Just look at how many goals come […]
I reckon it would be easier to break the Enigma Code than it would to understand the inner workings of the minds of our team. 2 nil down and still playing the ball beautifully across the back line. If you asked anyone to predict the likely outcome from the Hull game on Saturday I […]
There’s more to come on Saturday’s game, but until then, a little bit of slightly smug reminiscing. It was January 1980 and an eight year old Perm was woken in what felt like the middle of the night by a Perm snr, smelling of ale, and telling him that Latics had beaten Chelsea. What was […]
Sit there for a moment and take a deep breath. Smell that? That’s the sweet aroma of victory. Okay, you can breathe out again if you want. Now, like the vast majority of Latics supporters at the DW Stadium today, I fully expected to be expelling my fair share of oxygen to the point I […]
The attitude of a number of Latics’ wonderful keyboard warriors has really got on my wick this week, so much that I nearly couldn’t be bothered writing this preview, but hey, I’m on a train and I’ve nothing else to do, so let’s go, and to start with, let’s get a couple of things out […]
Anyone reading some of the irrational comments on some Latic message boards you would think we’d already been relegated but there is a different way of looking at matters in a more logical manner. At present it is wrong to look at the results for the early part of last season and compare them […]
We’ve done ‘woe is me’, we’ve done “don’t panic” and we’ve done “there once was a girl who had a little curl”, now I’m stumped. There isn’t much you can say about a performance like this one. I attempted to recall ghosts of Christmases past in my match preview by mentioning the Carling Cup semi […]
