So, how was your Jim White day? Mine was lovely, thanks. A day trip to Manchester was accompanied by a healthy dose of Roses cricket and topped off by an attempt to prove to child #2 that Nandos isn’t ’all that’. An attempt that probably failed, but hey Andy Liddell loves a trier and all […]
Bournemouth has never had a team playing in the top tier of English football. They entered the Football League in 1923 and AFC Bournemouth play in a stadium that holds 11,700. They had 91% occupancy last season when they challenged for a playoff place, eventually finishing 10th in the Championship. Owned by Maxim Demin, a […]
We need the right offer. I don’t want to stop the lad from going into the Premier League.” The words of Dave Whelan regarding the probable departure of James McArthur over the coming days. Once again Latics are playing the role of a club selling off quality. When thinking of James McArthur the words “automatic choice” come […]
How the mighty are fallen. “In Rosler we trust” was the catchphrase just a few weeks ago. Since then criticism and doubt have come raining in. There is an old saying that goes to the effect that football managers are only as good as their results. But despite a win over Blackpool on Saturday, Rosler’s […]
If Marvin Gaye was still with us, then as a diehard Wigan Athletic fan, he’d probably be asking “What’s going on?” This is not the start we envisaged! A good few hundred of us sat there in the Marquee the week before the season and felt all warm and glowing as we listened to Herr […]
Okay, Okay, I know a Wigan Athletic Web Site and we are reporting on another club! A club not even in the same league & also one we’ve not really got a decent relationship with! If you remember it was at the DW stadium that Liverpool players supported Suarez after his race issue with Patrice […]
Well it’s all Doom & Gloom here in the TNS Wigan offices; it’s very sad indeed, lots of glum faces. Listening to what Uwe has recently said on BBC Radio Manchester, it looks like there are also glum faces within the club too; with the fact Uwe can’t seem to buy the players at reasonable prices! […]
No breakfast for once as we had to get ready for our trip home. We took the train back to Dusseldorf airport and flew home on time back to Manchester having had an eventful and enjoyable ten days in Germany and were now all set up for the Reading game. A German Sojurn…..a diary of […]
What a difference results make. A couple of weeks ago Uwe Rosler was the flavour of the month and had almost universal support from the Latics faithful. But now after three disappointing performances dissent is becoming rife. This is not unusual at a football club in England or any other part of the world. The […]
Breakfast was followed by leaving Paderborn on the train back to Dusseldorf. On the train we encountered two Latic’s fans who had missed their flight home due to a very late night. We then booked into a hotel near the station for a few hours much needed sleep and then went to the old town […]
