Ten games to go, and whereas it shouldn’t be about him, it is perhaps a career defining couple of months for Gary Caldwell above all others. His career at this stage will reflect whatever Wigan Athletic achieve this year. If we go up, then it will be the launchpad to bigger things and he will […]
Who doesn’t love a three-all draw? Especially one with a last minute equaliser, eh? Me neither, but whilst we’d probably all prefer ten, exceedingly dull but never in doubt, 1-0 wins to see us to the end of the season that would give us nothing to talk about. That would be a shame given that […]
About as regular as a Northern Rail service from Layton station, I thought it was about time I got off my proverbial and started spouting off at you all on the internet again. I know you’ve all missed me, maybe. Ok, maybe not, but with such an exciting ninety minutes on Saturday, there’s plenty to […]
Poor Millwall, you’d almost feel sorry for them if they weren’t Millwall. Despite their habitual strains of “no-one likes us”, they’re none too keen on ourselves either. It’s not that they don’t ever beat us, they do. It’s more that we always beat them when it matters: FA Cup semi final, Autowindscreens final, Play off […]
Being able to communicate on the social media is not a prerequisite for being a chairman of a Football League club. If it were one would wonder how many of them would have a clue about where to start. They could do worse than take some lessons from David Sharpe. Since taking over a Wigan […]
There is a discussion which keeps doing the rounds this year involving comparisons to the 2002/03 season, the year when we really did “smash it”. Even though it’s an inevitable thing to bring up, I must admit I cringe a little bit every time I read it. Mainly because many football clubs do not encounter […]
It seems everyone else is having their threepennyworth so here’s mine. In essence, the suits attempting to justify this extortion have got it spot on: it’s demand versus supply. Unfortunately, as they are the ones who control the supply, then they can set the price. And these and by and large business people who run […]
Is everyone happy then? Well as we moved up from 5th to 4th last week then you’d assume so. However, the fact that we only drew with “lowly” Crewe and Burton won one of their games in hand midweek seems to have tempered the mood somewhat. Failing to take three points at Crewe wasn’t ideal […]
Just a couple of weeks ago most Wigan Athletic supporters were hoping and praying that the “New Era” duo of Gary Caldwell and David Sharpe would find a way to make Yanic Wildschut a Latics player. The Dutchman had made an impact comparable to that of Amr Zaki in the Steve Bruce era or even […]
“We all agree, Jeff Stelling is a w…” or at least that seems to be the #wafc meltdown consensus. His crime? Making a joke at expense of our club. The joke? That no matter how much we might protest, no number of FA cup wins is worth swapping trips to Old Trafford for trips to […]
