Latics never win two on the bounce, City always win when they’ve lost. Latics are likely to be without this season’s talisman N’Zogbia, City are likely to have Adebayor available. Throw in Tevez, Bellamy, Barry, Johnson and the rest and you have a game that Latics aren’t likely to win. But hey it’s only 90-odd […]
Reverend & The Makers – Bar Bliss Monday 15th March There’s been weeks of build up to this, and today, “The biggest gig in town for a very long time,” as boasts a Facebook status from Darren Adams of Bliss and RKid Events, is upon us. “Notapatchon” is invited to turn up and generally get […]
Well it’s that time of the month, I’ve been paid, got around to buying some new music and finally to commit some, this month not exactly positive, words to electronic media. So here goes:
Latics know the cruel nature of late goals but we also know the sheer absolute pleasure that they can bring. The two main highlights of our first top flight season hinged on them. The opening day defeat to Chelsea was heartbreaking, but may have been what drove Latics on to achieve what they did. The […]
Credit to Bolton and all that? If you’re not convinced that I mean that, then it’s because I don’t. Of course sides don’t win 4-0 without deserving some credit, but I’m from Wigan and it’s Bolton we’re talking about, so they get none. At least that saves you from any ridiculous notions of Kevin Davies […]
I’m not avoiding the Bolton and Villa games, I’ve just been a little too busy and a whole lot too weary to wrap things up. Reports will be along, but for now it’s Saturday morning and there are more pressing matters at hand. Another weekend, another derby game and another relegation battle. It might not […]
If there has been a player who has failed to win over the fans since arriving in Wigan this season, it is, unmistakably, Jordi Gomez. Whilst Jason Scotland may have come under the most criticism from the support, he has also been greeted by many as a hard working under dog, a player with time […]
The tea room pundits, the media and Dave Whelan all agree that Liverpool are in pretty dire straits at the moment. Defeat is one thing, but against Latics? Your common or garden Latics fan might not have that after all we did have some say in the game and I don’t remember anyone advocating mass […]
Are you over it yet? No? Good, because neither am I, or maybe I’ve just not ‘accidentally’ bumped into enough scousers to have fully expressed my smugness just yet. The only thing I’ve had by way of comeback is “do you think I’d have rung you if we’d have won?”, which was easily dismissed with […]
It’s easy to be kind about Liverpool, whilst hardly clean of soul they aren’t a monolith like united nor a richer than thou plaything like Chelsea or City. In a lot of ways they’re just like the rest of us only a rung or six further up the ladder and more successful with it. Not […]
