Over the years we have seen some abject performances from Latics with woeful scorelines. Too often when they were in the Premier League they would play a top of the table team and hold their own until the opponents scored their first goal. The confidence would sag and the legs would start to go. The […]
This is a call to arms. There’s no other way to dress it up. I’ve decided enough is enough and I’m calling on all Latics fans to stand up and be counted. I might end up being the lone crank, but it would be great if I wasn’t. It would be even better if every […]
You know when you get a load of ideas planned for a big party and then someone comes along at the last minute and gatecrashes, ruining things in no uncertain terms by doing something stupid which goes and overshadows that party and changes the way that your football club is perceived the world over in […]
They say that you have to experience the lows in life to truly appreciate its highs. It is certainly a low time for Wigan Athletic. They stand second from bottom of the Championship after 19 matches, having won only three. Moreover the positions of both the new manager and the chairman are precarious, pending the […]
The huge media events over recent days have in many ways overshadowed what fans would normally be looking at when a new manager is appointed. Our intention is to take a look at Malky Mackay as a football manager – how did he take Cardiff City into the Premier League, how was he regarded by […]

He is hard working, good in the air, a real team player. His club prided itself on playing a more typically English style than is the norm in Spain. He played the lone centre forward role there. […]
With all the furore of late this prestigious award has gone un-noticed by both the local & national media, mainly it is because it’s good news about our club. The same club ( and Dave Whelan) they were ALL fawning over after deservedly beating City in the 2013 Cup Final, plus the same club that annoyed […]
Last Wednesday, in a parallel universe, Wigan Athletic appointed Malky Mackay as their manager. At the resulting press conference, Mackay was revealed to the local and national media, flanked by Chairman Dave Whelan and Chief Executive Jonathon Jackson.
About an hour before I started writing this, I found out that Malky Mackay would be replacing Uwe Rosler as manager at Wigan Athletic. Before I go on, I’ve an apology, I’m writing this in the “heat” of the moment. I’m not right happy about the idea and you’re almost certainly not getting the most […]

It was reminiscent of the gem he scored in that 1-0 win for Latics against Manchester United in April 2012. A lot has happened since that memorable first win over the Red […]
