After being sooooo cross on Saturday and Sunday it only took until Monday lunchtime for me to get over losing to Blackpool (around about the same time I realised that the only crap I was going to get was from people who I’m sure were Liverpool or United fans back in May, it’s not just […]
After last season’s prediction league debacle, I’ve gone for the simple option of setting up your bog-standard fantasy football league. To be precise I’ve set up 2. They’re both on http://fantasy.premierleague.com and I’ve set up a traditional league (they who get most points wins) and a head to head league (teams are drawn against each other […]
The age old question of whether the football supporters of Wigan deserve a Premier League football team had an answer yesterday. If what we saw was the real Wigan Athletic team, then it doesn’t deserve a premier league support. In fact it probably didn’t deserve the proverbial one man and his dog. Woeful, chaotic, disastrous, […]
As I type this, I’m making my daily journey from Blackpool to Wigan (thankfully that’s the home leg of my working day), I’ve been doing the trip for over eleven years and I’ve even been arsed enough to travel to watch the Tangerines when they weren’t playing Latics, so surely I can come up with […]
…but it’s filled full of hope. No, I’ve not left this to the last minute, I’ve spent all summer mulling over the permutations, probabilities and player movements in order to put this season preview together. Despite rumours to the contrary, there is absolutely no way that I’m working on a three day plan to get […]
Scott from The Republick of Mancunia dropped into Notapatchon Towers over the summer with some questions about Latics, United and Latics vs United. He seemed a nice chap so I let him in and had a chat.

I’m not usually in the business of making public predictions, but then again I’ve never been asked before. This season Square Football have asked your humble correspondent to take place in their prediction competition so, breaking with tradition, I’ve said yes. It should be a bit of fun, and if nothing else it’ll give me […]
You’ll be surprised to hear that, thanks to the chaps at 188Bet, we’ve got a pair of free tickets for Saturday’s game with Blackpool to give away. What do you have to do it return? It’s as simple as bobbing over to our facebook page, clicking on the “like” button and leaving us a message […]
Well you may not Mr Costello, but the strange truth is, I bloody well did. After a couple of years without a season ticket today became the day I did as I was asked by Dave Whelan’s mailing and re-joined the family. Of course we all know what a costly business following a football team […]
It’s funny how different people hear things differently isn’t it? Sky must have been pestering the club today for a line on the rumours that Sunderland are about to whisk Charles N’Zogbia away for ten bob and a bag of grapes. Eventually they get rentaquote on the line, but there’s obviously no story in the […]
