Now then, that was better wasn’t it? A proper blood and thunder encounter with four goals shared and incidents a plenty. Three points would have been an added bonus but then you can’t have everything. What is always fascinating is that we all watch the game through different lens and it seems both sets of […]
Are we bothering with a 12th Man column this week or are we just going to have a full page dartboard with Howard Webb’s face on it instead? I suspect the output will look much the same regardless but personally I’ve spent too much time savaging those big club loving pseudo officials to bother repeating […]
Many, many Wigan Athletic supporters have fond memories of the non-league scene, plus quite a few do visit the local clubs on a regular basis when time, work and money doesn’t allow for Premier League viewing. The following is an unashamed copy & paste from Blue Squares website promoting the upcoming non-league day up here in […]
Well it’s the day after the weekend before, if you can stretch that saying? This weekend saw the usual 12 men of Manchester United stuff Wigan at Old Trafford 4-0.

Due to all manner of travel complications I ended up as the designated driver last Saturday. This did concern me a little bit as alcohol is normally a necessary pre-requisite for watching Wigan Athletic. Yet with a clear mind and heightened senses I was able to watch the magic unfold on the South Coast.
A few of the “northern soul” team venture to other grounds especially on the rising star that is non-league day. As the FSF so eloquently puts it ….. NLD is a celebration of football outside of the 92 league sides and gives fans of those clubs the opportunity to experience football at a level they […]
So the next time some football pundit tells you a club is suffering from “2nd Season Syndrome”, shout back at the TV, “Bollocks”, it is actually a myth, it doesn’t really exist. See we recently got into a discussion on the TNS forum with diab0 from the Royal Rendezvous site about 2nd Season Syndrome, after […]
Supporters of Wigan Athletic have come out on top of the ‘RightmoveBlog’ survey of which team is followed by the most local fans and unsurprisingly Latics are top. Again, unsurprisinhgly the bottom three places are occupied by Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea! Rather than TNS taking unwarranted credit for this little project I forward you […]
