Spurs 4-0 Latics Sunday 11th November 2007 Whether or not Chris Hutchings had lost the dressing room became a fairly moot point yesterday as his stand-in went one better and somehow managed to misplace his team somewhere on the road to White Hart Lane. How else could you explain a performance as weak as this […]
You couldn’t make it up really, then again maybe that is exactly what has happened. Barely enough time has passed for Chris Hutchings to list his Premier League suits and silk ties on eBay, before his old boss is seriously being linked with a return to the JJB. I’m not saying it’s set in stone, […]
So, with Dave Whelan off in Barbados for the next two weeks, should we assume that any shopping for a new manager is going to be done on-line? It might sound daft but thought is probably preferable to some of the other options available, especially when you consider who he’s left back at the ranch. […]
How many games does it take to prove that you are a Premier League manager? I suspect that the answer is more than 12, but it seems that that number serves as a fair marker for chairmen to consider that you aren’t. Or at least that is how Chris Hutchings must feel on this dripping […]

Birmingham 3-2 Latics Saturday 27th October 2007 Latics 0-2 Chelsea Saturday 3rd November 2007 It’s difficult to say that anyone deserved credit from both of these games. At a push, the much maligned Marcus Bent would be spared some criticism (only some mind), his two goals at St Andrews being followed by a reasonable stab […]
Steve McMillan’s Latics career has been one spent in the shadows; the hotly tipped left back’s signing was almost missed due to Lee McCulloch’s record transfer fee. Much of his time since has been spent on the sidelines, either in the company of Alex Cribley or watching the rise of Leighton Baines. With McCulloch set […]
Latics 0-2 Portsmouth Saturday 20th October 2005 I’m not quite sure why I did it, but just before I left for the ground I checked on http://www.liveonsat.com/ to see which foreign channel the game was on. I should have taken more notice of the result. It was no surprise to see that, yet again, we […]
You can tell when things are looking desperate on the ticket front with Latics; they roll out the special offers. You might like to think that £15 a ticket was enough to draw the punters in, but no, Wiganers need more than that to get them off the couch. We’ve already seen the ‘ever popular’ […]
Manchester United 4-0 Latics Saturday 6th October 2007 I spent most of the last week telling people that this game didn’t matter, that there was no chance of Latics getting anything, and that the international break might as well have started a week early for us. I did believe it, but that was before Chris […]
