Last night England secured their right to compete in the 2012 European Championships with a nervy two all draw away to Montenegro. In some countries this would have sparked celebrations in the streets and a mass outbreak of national flags but in England there was nary a flutter of patriotism. I sat down to watch […]
Wigan Athletic FC have today confirmed that three upcoming fixtures have been re scheduled. Two of the games have had to be moved for TV cameras whilst the home encounter against Sunderland has been moved to a Tuesday night. The games affected, and the new dates are as follows… LATICS V CHELSEA Barclays Premier […]
Anyone remember Blackpool in April? What a fantastic day that was. What about Stoke in May, who could forget that? Two great away days where we turned up in numbers, we sang our hearts out, we waved flags and banners, we gave the team unwavering support, we had a party and we could have sold […]

Roberto Martinez made two changes to last week’s starting line up, recalling fit again Emerson Boyce and Ronnie Stam for the suspended […]
