So January, I always find it a long month after the excitement of the Festive Holidays, made even longer by the dull Wigan weather & of course the dull football on the pitch. But something happened with Malky’s Half Time Team talk against Blackburn? The 2nd half for Wigan Athletic we saw a spark, something […]

Walking the streets in the humid and sultry heat of Saigon around midday I was taken by surprise. There were four […]
Well I’d say it’s crunch time again. In October, we had two home games on the bounce versus Brentford and Millwall which were set to define Rosler’s future and we mustered up two 0-0 draws whilst grasping on to the last throes of a doomed promotion push. This time we face Blackburn and Huddersfield at […]
So yes we’ve won our first award of 2015, the award ceremony was held at the prestigious Valley Church on Mitchell Street, last night. We didn’t win any of the Religious awards for obvious reasons, but we did prevail in the ‘Gloomiest Independent Wigan Athletic Web Site’. Peter was there to pick up the award, […]
Any hope that Wigan would seal their first double of the season was blown away within the opening quarter of an hour as Birmingham dismantled a porous Wigan defence that in this period was lucky to concede only two goal, both to Donaldson Following last week’s F.A.Cup debacle in which Wigan could have been four […]
