Like that discarded stepson who refuses to go away, the Mudhutter is back and bolder than ever careering headlong into a pile of poop like the football club it is very loosely associated with. This Wednesday’s home game versus Man United sees Issue 36 hit the streets although you might be able to get a […]
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 […]

I do like the simplistic minimalistic design and I’ve no doubt whatsoever that the material is the latest gizmo sweat absorbent away, piece of material since Noah built the ark but it looks like a cheap copy from […]
With the growth of imports into The DW more & more of Wigan Athletic players jet-off to play for their countries, adopted ones in some cases ! Gary Caldwell will captain the Scottish team away at SRC Bonifika (Koper) Ali Al Habsi Oman v Thailand Antolin Alcaraz Paraguay […]
That’s an easy one isn’t it? It’s the team who has the most fans isn’t it? Well not quite, you see some teams are from big cities and others are from small towns. Some are global names with over a century of top flight history drawing support from across the world magnet-like, others are newer […]
Without prejudice, on Saturday 11th February a football match took place in North West Lancashire, only for it to be marred by the behaviour of a bunch of Eighties throwbacks. We’ve seen these fat middle aged bullies before in the vicinity of Bolton Wanderers, known for their regimented and hierarchical structure, codenames and distinctive bad […]
A few of us across the Wigan Athletic community thought it would be a good idea to set up a page in honour of Dave where Latics fans can make a donation to Cancer Research in Dave’s memory. You can view the page here Dave touched the hearts of many of us as Latics […]
