We all know it’s well under a hundred days to the Olympics but did you realise that it is under fifty days to Euro 2012 ? No-one seems particular bothered both in the media and especially at the FA as we still don’t have a national team manager, Pyscho is standing in at the moment […]

I can just leave it at that three letter word can’t I? The last week has been the stuff dreams are made of for Latics fans and we are winning friends and respect all the way. We have only been one incompetent linesman away from mustering up a complete clean sweep of the “traditional” Big […]

                    Just two short years ago to the day near enough, Salvador Cabrina of Paraguay was shot in the head in a bar in Mexico City. A drugs baron called “JJ” was later arrested for attempted murder. At the time Salvador was playing for top Mexican […]

When Latics gained promotion to the greed league seven seasons ago I was really looking forward to watching all the “big” clubs appear at The DW in their traditional kits.   A sad existence I know but it was what I was brought up on and for my home town team this was great to […]

A bathroom company is naming its new range of suites after famous Barnsley footballers. The sanitaryware “team” is the brainchild of lifelong Tykes fan Jonathan Eyre, a director of bathroom firm BCG which based in Worcester.

Tom & George two all time greats of the game.   Bill Shankly reckoned Sir Tom was one of if not the greatest player of his or any generation, even though I’m an owd codger I never saw him play but from the videos and stuff I’ve read about him he certainly is up with […]

      Last Wednesday evening, I was privileged enough to be at the Camp Nou stadium to witness first hand, the most unbelievable performance from a team that I have ever seen. No doubt quite a few of you will have watched it on tv, but from my vantage point, high up in that […]

I was always planning to go to Norwich but recent form meant that sitting on the couch smearing some of their famous Colman’s mustard on my arms and proceeding to eat them became a preferred option. Seriously, I couldn’t make Sunday. But you know what, we did alright.   I can’t get my head around […]

Crestfallen is not the word. At least Roberto took the rap for Saturday’s abject performance. Without sounding like a retro school teacher: you let the fans down, you let the team down but most of all you let yourself down. How on earth do we pick ourselves up from that?   The sad thing is […]
