Apart from their somewhat annoying penchant for beating us at the DW Stadium, I think I’m on fairly safe ground when I say that there is no great animosity between us and Blackpool. As most Wigan Athletic fans are aware, we face Blackpool at Bloomfield Road in our last away game of the season next […]
A collective poor performance from Wigan against relegation strugglers Doncaster at the Keepmoat Stadium yesterday as Doncaster Rovers’ totally dominant performance ended Wigan’s twenty game unbeaten run which culminated in the sending off of midfielder Perkins for a professional foul.
In the past 20 years just four players have scored 20 goals in a season for Wigan Athletic. Nathan Ellington scored 24 and Jason Roberts got 21 when Latics were promoted from the Championship in 2004-05. Graeme Jones scored 31 when they gained promotion by winning Division 3 in 1996-97. Will Grigg has scored 23 goals […]
Sixy Talk has had a couple of week’s break, but we didn’t want to let this game pass. Not least because Doncaster are one of those clubs who still have a bone-fide paper fanzine popular STAND. We also think that Rovers’ story has a bit of there “there but for the grace of Harry Lyon…” […]
Aka, “your mid-week narrative”. Things are fairly relentless at the moment, with a twenty game unbeaten run, five wins on the bounce and our closet competitors slipping off the pace, you’d think there’d be plenty to talk about, wouldn’t you? Well, let’s grab a lump of 2×4 (or any other wood you’re comfortable touching) and […]
It’s been a while, probably more than a year, since I unofficially closed our Spreadshirt t-shirt shop. Getting things back up and running has been a bit of an on/off project in the interim, but we’re back this week with a bang, well maybe nota bang, but with a couple of new designs at least […]
A hard fought game was eventually sealed by the predatory instincts of Grigg as the Latics seized what could be a critical three points in their battle to be promoted back to the Championship at the first attempt. Wigan made one change from last week’s superb victory away at Shrewsbury with Barnett starting in place […]
Castel di Sangro is a tiny town situated in the Abruzzo region of Italy, and has a population of around 6,000 people. In the mid 1990’s, the townsfolk and supporters of A.S.D Castel di Sangro Calcio experienced a journey which saw them come within touching distance of what was – during that period – the […]
A five star performance by an irrepressible Wigan side saw the Latics hit the top of the league at a sun kissed Shrewsbury yesterday. Wigan made two changes for the game, McAleny and Daniels returning to the first eleven in place of Colclough and injured captain Morgan.
Keith Hill eh? When you hear people trot out the line that there’s no characters in the game anymore, they’ve obviously never taken a look at Keith Hill. The man is completely barmy.
