When Owen Coyle arrived at Bolton, he was a breath of fresh air compared to the overall grayness and smell of being bored to death that Gary Megson left at the Reebok Stadium. Owen Coyle was a genuinely nice guy, always smiling, and looked to play a more attractive style of football than his […]
8am Well its not turned out to be as critical as hoped as the Arsenal defeat signalled the end of our premier league tenure thereby removing the stress and tension that has been associated with last day of the season escapes.
In a game which meant nothing to either side in terms of league status, Wigan and Villa fought out an entertaining draw in front of a noisy crowd determined to see their respective heroes off in style.
7am Saturday , no work but no lie in as son is working today, pick up my Independent and even though Saturday’s edition has articles on the previous weeks football from well respected columnists our F.A.Cup win and subsequent relegation don’t even rate a mention. No mention of Bob either on going or staying. Mood […]
7am Its Friday which is always a positive, early morning caffeine shot always tastes better on a Friday and last game of season looms.

Harold Wilson once opined ,”A week is a along time in politics,” Roberto Martinez could be forgiven for thinking the same about football as Wigan went from the unbounded joy of winning the F.A. Cup final to the abject misery of relegation from the cash cow that is the Premier League.
7am – 8am The calm before the storm, a day when very little is likely to happen in terms of Latics. I turn on SSN to hear the platitudes towards Wigan’s magnificent performance at Wembley. But no instead its wall to wall Manchester with talk on United’s final home game for Ferguson and the new […]
