The TNS January Sales (Pitch)
We’ve just had Men’s London Fashion Week and it’s been a while since we up dated you on what’s been going onto our Spreadshirt shop. Yeah, that’s right, It’s the middle of winter, we had our first snow the other night and it’s currently freezing. So what do we do here at This Northern […]
62 problems but an empty seat aint one
Empty seats. They’re the hottest topic in the world of football right now, and for once Latics are coming out on the good side of the equation. Mainly because it’s not any empty seat that we’re talking about, it’s 900 of them in a particular corner of North London, with an alleged combined value of […]
The Morning After – Six FA Cup Hangovers
After the transfer window, there’s only one thing to be writing about in Jaunary, isn’t there? It’s got to be the FA Cup, but what after that? The loss of romance, how big clubs don’t respect it any more, how the fans aren’t interested in it anymore, how the authorities need to reinstate it […]

A Stopped Clock – Roman Golobart’s Playlist
Badgering professional footballers into giving us content for articles isn’t what we’re usually about, but following yesterday’s Left Foot, Right Foot, Header I got into a mini-conversation between Latics fan Andy Baird (@bleedingthumbs) and Roman Golobart about the Two Gallants song that I’d included.
Left Foot, Right Foot, Header #10 – Cup and Buy
The thing about regular features is that you have to do them regulalrly, or else they’re just… irregular. And no one wants irregular features, well maybe not no one, but we don’t really get many Mansons or Gagas down at the DW. Anyway I digress… it’s time for another perfect hat-trick and as it’s January […]
