Anyone reading some of the irrational comments on some Latic message boards you would think we’d already been relegated but there is a different way of looking at matters in a more logical manner. At present it is wrong to look at the results for the early part of last season and compare them […]
We’ve done ‘woe is me’, we’ve done “don’t panic” and we’ve done “there once was a girl who had a little curl”, now I’m stumped. There isn’t much you can say about a performance like this one. I attempted to recall ghosts of Christmases past in my match preview by mentioning the Carling Cup semi […]
This article was going to start “I don’t hate Arsenal. I don’t really hate any Premier League sides”. But as I typed, I realised that time and progress has caught up with me and I now have a distinct animosity towards at least three of the current batch. I’ve joked in the past about how […]
This will hoprfully end up being a proper series of blogs, but for now I haven’t got time so this brain dump will do for starters. The idea is that I’ll pick the best of the week’s ‘new’ releases and share them with you. You then get to slag me off or throw up your […]
Latics 1-0 West HamSaturday 12th September 2009 It’s a bit late to be writing the match report for Saturday’s game, but I guess that’s the price of having a life too deal with. To cut a long story after the horse has bolted, massive hangovers, a dinner party that I’m not even invited to, first […]
Back in the Eighties i was a little bit younger and was having the time of my life Depeche Mode were saying that People were People and Wigans own were being a bit “too shy” It was a great time for Music and Football, Football in those days was in the lower divisions but it […]
Having spent the day being bombarded with adverts telling me that Derren Brown was capable of winning the lottery every week but didn’t (or something) it occurred to me that I’d completely forgotten the more serious business of our own little prediction league. Which was supposed to be all ready and raring to go for […]
Last Season If we break down last seasons results into four sections showing the results for games 1-10, 11-19, 20-28 and 29-38 they are quite revealing. Games 1-10 So even with the likes of Zaki, Heskey, Valencia, Palacios and Cattermole in the side we still struggled to gain points. So Zaki’s goals from open […]
I couldn’t focus on the task at hand long enough to write a match preview and I doubt that I’ll do any better with the match report, so I’ll give you my conclusions to start off with. This was a game played between two sides suffering for confidence one who deserved the win, the other […]
Oh dear! Things seem to have gone a bit pear-shaped over the last few weeks. After 14 years of onwards and upwards we now appear to have reached a crossroad in Latics modern history. In some quarters Bobby is being referred to as Martinez (always a bad sign) and DW seems to have even less […]
