Famous American sport’s coach Vince Lombardi once wryly observed, “if winning isn’t everything, then why do they keep score?” These words may come back to haunt the Wigan faithful as the decision to sit back and try and defend the first half lead in the second half played a major role in the loss of […]
Now is not the time for recrimination nor retribution. We will save that for another day. Now is a time for realising what you have got, finding what it is you want to fight for and standing up for it. Those of you that will wear the shirt on Saturday should remember, it is only […]
Or, the much more honestly, and boringly titled “Nothing to do with the royal wedding, Latics v Everton preview”. I always find it difficult to pitch an Everton preview. They’re a club I feel I should respect, and based on the Everton fans I know and the club’s history and stature one that I do, […]

If I’m honest, this selection was picked as a pre-Sunderland trio, but then my laptop blew up and… well it didn’t happen. I’ve got back online (sort of) today and reflecting back all three songs still work, albeit in different ways than they would have done on Friday. So, to save me thinking too hard […]
And in my case it’s probably a good thing because when I was nineteen we were getting tonked by the likes of Port Vale and Plymouth not Chelsea and Blackpool. I travelled to Bournemouth in a game where we’d already been relegated, spent 12 hours driving 500 miles in a battered old Toyota Corolla while […]
