I haven’t been the most productive on the Latics front recently. To be honest, there is a perfect storm of other stuff going on in my life right now, which in some ways could be a distraction, but I suspect, like most people, my head is all over the place and getting anything done well, […]
I said on Friday night that whatever happens over the next few weeks Paul Cook and his players had already done the club and indeed the town proud. That was clear again on Saturday as Latics battled manfully against a Barnsley side who knew that failing to win meant near certain relegation. Barnsley’s next three […]
How are we all? Sleeping? No me neither, in a year that currently manages to get worse with every passing week the last seven days in the life of Wigan Athletic represent some of the darkest days I think I’ve experienced and I say this as simply a supporter – spare a thought for those […]
How do you begin to describe the last week? With great difficulty to be truthful, Tuesday evening Latics supporters the world over were saluting what seemed a job well done. Paul Cook’s side had put in a fine performance to see off Stoke City and reach the magic 50 point mark, which would hopefully go […]
Seven matches undefeated, no goals conceded in five games and the only surprise being that it was over three and a half months in between game six and seven on that run. In this new world that we live in Wigan Athletic made it very much like the old world, with an assured and confident […]

I’ve been clear throughout this that I didn’t think football should return, it feels wrong to consider football in this context when there are still thousands losing their lives each […]
Those with a keen eye will be aware of the significance of that year, and now the reality is, that with time passing by, it is a mere twelve years away. It is just a year, a point in time in the future but on the 27th August 2032, it will be a hundred years […]
We live in truly unprecedented times, it feels like it’s been a constant curve of sheer madness since 2016 but the last few weeks have really ramped that unprecedented feeling up a notch. How does this relate to Latics I hear you ask? Well sadly if the experts are to be believed (remember them? Seems […]
Three matches – three wins, nine points, five goals, zero conceded. What a remarkable week for Paul Cook and his Wigan Athletic side. I asked last week had Latics managed to turn a corner in the fight against the drop, I think it’s safe to say they definitely have. The fight now is to ensure […]
Has a corner been turned? There have been positive signs of life for Wigan Athletic since the Christmas period, though results didn’t necessarily follow. In the 15 matches since that defeat to Luton at the start of December Latics have only lost four times. More importantly since the defeat to Preston at the start of […]
