Wigan staged a late recovery to turn around what was heading for yet another away defeat with three goals in the last ten minutes, sending the thousands travelling away fans wild with delight and leaving the home side stunned after a game in which they were very much the dominant force. Wigan were forced […]
So back in September I did an TNS article explaining with just statistics, how I saw Wayne Rooney getting to 50 England goals by the San Marino game. Of course 50 is a nice round number, but will also break a record that has stood since the 20th May 1970, Bobby Charlton’s 49th goal in […]
So as we’ve seen a few firsts with some of Wigan’s games this season in League 1, I have another one for you! As Wigan play Chesterfield this weekend, it’ll be the first time that Wigan have played League Football when England are also playing at the same time! In fact it’s 12 years and […]
So the morning after the night before, and picture this it’s the last night of my Greek Holiday, the big screen at the Bar was showing Celtic start their 1st leg match in their usual exit of the Champions League. The only way I could find out the latest Wigan score would be that evening’s […]
A few days later, an early morning and the Ship is coming in to Port. I’ve just added Match Day 3 to the Forum & whilst sat outside the empty Bar using their Wifi, I’ve added a little background to the game. Well the main one is after Wigan’s 0-0 draw with Doncaster on Sunday, […]

So Doncaster beat Leeds on penalties with Leeds taking the lead, but later being reduced to 10 men. Did this then later dictate Doncaster winning 4-2 on Penalties, or does Wigan gain some encouragement on Doncaster having to play an extra 30 minutes of Extra Time? Who knows? The challenge of predicting football results will […]
So we’ve had to wait a week before the next match, as it was League Cup action Mid week & of course Wigan got knocked out of that didn’t we. Well probably all the best, what with Gary wanting to concentrate on the League. So to the 5th League match, sees Wigan play Crewe, simple […]
So I’m writing this down, by the side of the pool & its Thursday (13th), 1 week in to the Holiday & we’ve had a few clouds today, so I’ve reminisced about a Thursday in Wigan too. It is just like Wigan though, but without the heat, the pace of life, the swimming pool, the […]
Now I love my numbers, if you’ve spent any time on the TNS Forum, I’ll be the one with the background stats or the bookies odds. It’s not like I like to gamble, I just love the challenge of the numbers! Can you beat the bookies with your interpretation of how the stats & numbers […]
