Ok, so Paul Jewell’s departure might not have been that much of a surprise but I bet you his replacement was. Maybe not so much that Chris Hutchings has taken over the hot seat, but that the decision was taken seemingly within minutes of Jewell’s departure was very un-Latics like. It would have been much […]
Sheff Utd 1-2 Latics Sunday 13th May 2007 Events of the last 24 hours may have distracted a little from goings on at Bramhall Lane but it would be doing everyone involved a great disservice if we forgot to mention the final day achievements of the rabble that had previously done so much to add […]

The writing has been on the wall for months as the pressure increased and his relationship with the fans became increasingly more fractious. Some of you […]

Depending on how long you’ve been following Latics it’s possible that you’ve attended bigger games than Sunday’s. You won’t, however, have attended one with quite as much financial significance. There may be three teams still chasing that last relegation spot but Latics are clearly in the box seat. For us more than anyone, the maths […]
Latics 0-1 Boro Saturday 5th May 2007 Period, dot, point, spot, full-stop or whatever you want to call it. That’s where we are, the end is near and we’ll be facing the final curtain somewhere around snake pass. We called for more changes, we called for more effort and we got them. We got them […]
