The final task for our ‘expert panel’ this season was to pick out the three biggest bad guys of the season. After a season of turmoil you’d think there’d be plenty to choose from, but when it comes down to it, incompetence just isn’t the same as crimes against the club. It may be tempting […]
In a season of mediocrity, it hasn’t been hard to pick a player of the season. So few players have stood out and it comes as no surprise to see the same three names featuring in most people’s lists. The order that they have appeared is more surprising and the only reason I can imagine […]
Last season there was plenty of choice for the game of the season award, but still the ultimate choice was easy. The dross served up for most of this season means that it’s been slim pickings but that’s made it harder to choose in the end. Actually, I’m not sure who I’m trying to kid […]
It’s impossible to say which of the 37 goals, scored by Latics this year, was the one that kept us up in the end. The obvious candidate would be Unsworth’s penalty but it could just as easily go to one of the few goals that didn’t matter, the fourth against City, Landzaat’s consolation at the […]
If you asked around for thoughts on Paul Jewell’s most important signing for Latics a number of names are likely to crop up. John Filan’s role in the rise of the club is likely to get him a mention or two and Jason Roberts will be well remembered as the missing link between first and […]
It’s barely a week since the end of the season and the Jewell out Hutchings in malarkey, we’ve not had time to put together our end of season review, but column inches wait for no lazy journalist and the transfer rumour mill is already back in full swing. There’s absolutely no chance of us here […]
What can you say about Arjan De Zeeuw that hasn’t been said already? This won’t be the only tribute to the Latics captain and I would imagine that all of them will cover pretty much the same ground. You’ll have read words like legend; hero and colossus banded about and possibly questioned how quickly fans […]
Ok, so Paul Jewell’s departure might not have been that much of a surprise but I bet you his replacement was. Maybe not so much that Chris Hutchings has taken over the hot seat, but that the decision was taken seemingly within minutes of Jewell’s departure was very un-Latics like. It would have been much […]

Sheff Utd 1-2 Latics Sunday 13th May 2007 Events of the last 24 hours may have distracted a little from goings on at Bramhall Lane but it would be doing everyone involved a great disservice if we forgot to mention the final day achievements of the rabble that had previously done so much to add […]
