Our squad’s too strong for League One! Those aren’t my words, they are the words of Mike Taylor from TV Quick magazine. Anyway, I’m going off on a tangent already. Of course they aren’t but I have actually seen these words used on sections of social media in the last few days by both children […]
Review the season they said. Well the truth is, I’d rather not. It did however finish on a high for me, albeit one tinged with sadness at the fantastic Emmerson Boyce night which was brilliantly organised by that chap across the page Barry Worthington (er I mean internet on this version). You see Boycey […]
When a boxer is too beaten up to continue, his coach throws a towel into the ring to signal that the fight is over. Gary Caldwell might have wanted to throw in the towel at various times during an awful performance at promotion-chasing Brentford. The unfortunate deflection of a Pritchard free kick after 25 minutes […]
What an awful season it has been. Latics once again defied the odds, but this time it went the wrong way. How could a team tipped for promotion by the bookmakers end up getting relegated? With the Brentford game coming up Billy Grant (@billythebee99) of beesotted.co.uk asked me to respond to some topical questions about the nightmare that Wigan […]
At the start of the season there were rumours in the media that Wigan Athletic were looking to sign Benik Afobe on loan from Arsenal. Little did we know at the time that it would be Afobe who would put what could be the final nail in the coffin that represents Latics’ season. Afobe has […]

Ooh that’s a big word for a Sunday morning! For the benefit of us thickos, I think it means “not knowing which outcome is for the best”. And as far as Wigan Athletic are concerned, I don’t, I really don’t. I think in most people’s minds, we are down anyway, for us to stay up […]

On a bright sunny day, with a hint of autumn in the air, my father and I walked through the town centre towards the Gas Showrooms, opposite the market square. I had bought the coach tickets the day before, going to our usual source, Barnes Travel Agents in Market Street. As we waited for the […]
It was my first visit to the district of South Bermondsey, the home of Millwall FC since 1993. I had expected to meet a partisan crowd keen to cheer their team to victory in a relegation dogfight. But following Latics’ draw at Fulham I was optimistic that they could do even better against a side […]
