6am Bloody hell a lie in, the calm before the storm no doubt as Wembley beckons. Hoping for a quiet day but switch mobile on to find text from John Earls Umbrella to say that Owen Coyle is second favourite behind Graeme Jones for the Latics managers job if Bob leaves. Please God no, even […]
4am Lying awake in bed with a line of a song going through my head ( not you don’t get me i’m part of the union) but, “ i’m football crazy, football mad and football has taken away the little bit of sense I had.” Never a true word sung, this club takes over my […]
7am Work day and sunshine, potent combination, deal with the dog walking duties, a quick caffeine intake and hey ho its off to work we go. A busy day beckons but at least it takes my mind off tonight. Mood…………………its a work day what do you think? Stress levels 40%

After watching the 1965 Cup Final Liverpool 2 Leeds United 1 my love affair with the greatest sport on the planet was cemented, after a question & answer session with my Dad the Wigan Athletic life long marriage started. Before the modern day television saturation of […]
Aston Villa’s amazing 6-1 scoreline against Sunderland was certainly unexpected. One single result has lifted the midland club level on points with both Newcastle and Sunderland, only one point behind Norwich who they play on Saturday. Moreover their previously poor record for goal difference has been transformed by the +5 they got last night. […]
‘Remember that our last game is against Aston Villa at home. It could easily go to the last day of the season.’ These were the words of Roberto Martinez in a recent interview. Wigan Athletic are not strangers to the concept of surviving on the last day of the season. They have done it […]
