A dominant performance against a poor Cardiff City team came to naught last night as Cardiff hung on for a victory that there performance didn’t deserve leaving Wigan to rue two borderline offside decisions both of which went in Cardiff’s favour and denied two goals to the home side. There were three changes from the […]
When the chaps from Latics United dropped this idea in with us yesterday, we thought “what a great idea, let’s leave promoting it until tomorrow, it’ll go down great with a morale boosting performance under our belt.” We might have got that last bit wrong, but it’s still a great idea and probably more important […]
Okay the first 2 parts of the Title are factually correct, the 3rd & probably the most important is an assumption using basic Math. Both Rotherham & Brighton are on 34 points having played 32 games. So if I remember what Mrs Satisfield taught me at Holy Family School, New Springs, using basic statistics, they […]
If you did watch the Rugby League last night, you’ll know where the article’s picture has come from! If ever you wanted it make it even harder for Wigan Athletic to rescue their season, you play a Rugby League game 24 hours after Wigan Athletic played.

This Northern Soul contributor and Mudhutter editor Jimmy recently met up with Barca Jim of The Football Flush and spent an hour talking about his thirty years watching Wigan Athletic and writing about the club.

So we finally won a game, only the 5th in 31 games, the first win since Boxing Day & only the 3rd league victory in an astonishing 26 games. As you could imagine the Blue Bunting was brought out in the TNS office, Wolf travelling down especially from the Burnley TNS Office, to enjoy the […]
‘It’s a brand new group over the last three weeks. It closes the gap. There are a lot of points to play for. It’s about personality and character and we’re beginning to show that”. So said Malky Mackay after his team of scrappers had thrown him a lifeline, with the reemergence of Dave Whelan breathing […]
Fronting another campaign for the club NHS Blood and Transplant is looking for football fans to sign to a life saving team. Three people die every day in need of an organ and there are currently around 7,000 people on the waiting list. There are simply not enough organs available, so lovers of the beautiful game are being […]
Sometimes we lose sight of things that happened not so long ago. “He is the man to lead us back into the Premier League.” Looking at Dave Whelan’s comment when Malky Mackay was appointed brings perspective.
