Once again the Wigan players trooped off the pitch yesterday following a home defeat, their eighth in ten home games since Mackay took the managerial reigns and whilst there were enough chances created to win three games, the lack of a recognised goal scorer upfront for the majority of the game mean that it was […]
A goal from Wigan’s mercurial midfielder Kim saw Wigan win their second consecutive game (the first time since August) to move above Millwall and to within striking distance of Rotherham in the relegation battle stakes. Wigan made one change from the side which defeated Blackpool on Saturday, fit again Leon Clarke replacing Ojo. Norwich entered […]
Well that’s now 3 away wins on the spin & only Brighton by 1 point have better form over the last 5 games in the entire bottom half of the Championship. Things are looking up, I wish I hadn’t fallen off me fence a couple of times, sometimes no matter how dire it may seem […]

So we finally won another game, a good 3-1 away win against Blackpool, cracking away support for the team too, in the 90 songs in 90 being achieved and no one even mentioned Gary Teale or that damn dress. Okay, okay I know they were the only team beneath us, but a win is a […]
On a pitch more suited to building sandcastles, Wigan Athletic produced a committed performance high on endeavor and teamwork to secure a much needed and deserved win against basement dwellers Blackpool. Wigan made one change from the midweek defeat against Cardiff with the recall of keeper Scott Carson to replace Ali Al Habsi. Both teams […]
I read a quip the other day that amused me. It is relatively easy to take out £1m by being the owner of a football club. All you have to do is first put in £2m. Dave Whelan reportedly put £100 m into underpinning Wigan Athletic’s success over these past two decades. One wonders what […]
“There was nothing like it. Running down the tunnel and hearing the roar of a 3,000 crowd. Springfield Park was the best place in the world for me.” Meeting Harry Lyon in the early 1980s was like a dream come true. It had been a chance encounter with the man for whom the title “legend” […]
There is a sign on the wall as you descend out of the West Stand which simply bears the words “Fortress DW”. I would propose that after a further two embarrassingly soft home defeats that the words should be amended to read “Bouncey Castle DW” as most away clubs now seem to be turning up, […]
Just what is it that you want to do? We wanna be free. We wanna be free to do what we wanna do. And we wanna get loaded. And we wanna have a good time. That’s what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna have a good time. We’re gonna have a party Hi, my name is Alan, you’ll remember […]
