7.30am Here I am sat staring into space ( well SSN but I am sure you understand) with a cup fo coffee in my hand psyching myself up for another day at work, one which will bring a football game which we have to win to stay up, no draws , no losses, a win […]
7am – 8am The calm before the storm, a day when very little is likely to happen in terms of Latics. I turn on SSN to hear the platitudes towards Wigan’s magnificent performance at Wembley. But no instead its wall to wall Manchester with talk on United’s final home game for Ferguson and the new […]
8.45am Wake up this morning, tired plus aching after approx ten hours driving. Apparently Wigan was buzzing last night. I wonder how many kids will be christened Ben when they are born in 9 months time as a direct result of last night’s celebrations Mood …………………………contemplative stress levels 10%
7am So I awake to possibly the biggest day in Wigan Athleitc’s history. Our much maligned fans and our embattled team are off to Wembley for the F.A.Cup final with Manchester City. Another early start dog walking wise, many Latics fans armed with assorted carrier bags looking half asleep making their ways to various pick […]
6am I wake up, I had a dream , not a Martin Luther King type one, not even one involving a mud wrestling Buffy the Vampire Slayer(ooh err misses) but one involving the FA Cup final, can’t remember the score as I was woken up by an Irish setter but what I do remember is […]
I have a fixation with trying to put real life situations into a four box matrix. There’s quite a simple one which sums up the Wigan Athletic situation right now. It’s got FA Cup on one axis and Premier League on the other. The trouble is that right now the LOSE-LOSE quadrant is ten times […]
6am Bloody hell a lie in, the calm before the storm no doubt as Wembley beckons. Hoping for a quiet day but switch mobile on to find text from John Earls Umbrella to say that Owen Coyle is second favourite behind Graeme Jones for the Latics managers job if Bob leaves. Please God no, even […]
4am Lying awake in bed with a line of a song going through my head ( not you don’t get me i’m part of the union) but, “ i’m football crazy, football mad and football has taken away the little bit of sense I had.” Never a true word sung, this club takes over my […]
7am Work day and sunshine, potent combination, deal with the dog walking duties, a quick caffeine intake and hey ho its off to work we go. A busy day beckons but at least it takes my mind off tonight. Mood…………………its a work day what do you think? Stress levels 40%
8 am Another early start to the day, why don’t dogs have a lie in? Sun shining and all is right with the world. Pick up my Independent and look at the player ratings. Unusually they have got them just about right. Maloney man of the match, no brainer really. A look on Newsnow shows […]
