So the morning after the night before, and picture this it’s the last night of my Greek Holiday, the big screen at the Bar was showing Celtic start their 1st leg match in their usual exit of the Champions League. The only way I could find out the latest Wigan score would be that evening’s […]
A few days later, an early morning and the Ship is coming in to Port. I’ve just added Match Day 3 to the Forum & whilst sat outside the empty Bar using their Wifi, I’ve added a little background to the game. Well the main one is after Wigan’s 0-0 draw with Doncaster on Sunday, […]
So Doncaster beat Leeds on penalties with Leeds taking the lead, but later being reduced to 10 men. Did this then later dictate Doncaster winning 4-2 on Penalties, or does Wigan gain some encouragement on Doncaster having to play an extra 30 minutes of Extra Time? Who knows? The challenge of predicting football results will […]
So I’m writing this down, by the side of the pool & its Thursday (13th), 1 week in to the Holiday & we’ve had a few clouds today, so I’ve reminisced about a Thursday in Wigan too. It is just like Wigan though, but without the heat, the pace of life, the swimming pool, the […]
Now I love my numbers, if you’ve spent any time on the TNS Forum, I’ll be the one with the background stats or the bookies odds. It’s not like I like to gamble, I just love the challenge of the numbers! Can you beat the bookies with your interpretation of how the stats & numbers […]
Not the best timed Holiday, but with the Gestapo school, it’ll be a necessity for the next few years. So sat on the balcony one Tuesday evening, the sun still beating down, the Beer on the table, crickets, well I think they’re Crickets, doing what they do best, I start to use the relentless amount […]
“There’s signs it’s coming together, then it’s maybe one step forward and two steps back.” Gary Caldwell was right about that. In reality Latics were lucky to scrape a point out of a game that Doncaster dominated, even if they were denied what Caldwell called a “stonewall” penalty in the final minute of the match. […]
Two defeats in the first two games have tested the resolve of the long-suffering Wigan Athletic following. Defeat is something that supporters had to learn to live with last year, when team lost 25 of the 46 league matches they played. Just a week ago there was an almost tangible wave of optimism as fans […]
He’s a big, strong boy who is also quick. He is different to what we’ve got and he’ll certainly cause defences some problems.” The words of Mickey Adams, who certainly had some belief in Craig Davies as a footballer. He had signed the big man for Brighton in February 2009. Some 11 months later, after […]
A bad start to the season is not uncommon for Wigan Athletic. The beginning of the 2011-12 season was no exception. A 3-1 home loss to Wolves in early November was their eighth consecutive defeat and Roberto Martinez clearly had to look at changing something. The changes he made took some time to take effect, […]
