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%

As this is the most critical two weeks in Wigan Athletics’ history ( well since the last critical two weeks anyhow), I thought I would do a daily blog on the effects on following Latics on my health and sanity during these two weeks With this in mind here is Day one of a 50ish […]
