And why is he upsetting people. I’d not heard of him until a week or so ago. Apparently, he’s worth £11m though. For a player who is on paper at this current stage, a League One player. The way that Bees fans are talking about him he must be the Scouse Pirlo or summat, the […]
He is a centre back who stays cool under pressure, waiting for the right moment to intervene. He exudes a calmness that helps to gel the back line of defence. If it were not for the cruciate knee injury he probably would not be at Wigan. The classy Ivan Ramis is the one most Latics […]
Skinner & Baddiel sang the popular ditty (at the time) Footballs Coming Home over THIRTY years ago. So why hasn’t it? the dust has settled on another underwhelming performance at a major tournament for England who are now turning into a Scotlandesque type of outfit. I wonder how long it’ll be before we start getting […]

Some say that results in pre-season matches are not important. But then again, a 2-1 loss at Rochdale was hard for Wigan Athletic supporters to swallow, let alone a 4-1 drubbing in Dusseldorf on Saturday. Latics’ worst ever pre-season performance will surely be that of five decades ago, when fourth division Southport smashed non-league Wigan […]
Well it has been some time! For me it’s been over 12 months since I’ve been in the TNS Offices here in Wigan, in fact my last work was a Barnsley Match article, oh how we lived! There are some new faces at new desks that we’ve been able to fit in to the office. […]
