Last Wednesday, in a parallel universe, Wigan Athletic appointed Malky Mackay as their manager. At the resulting press conference, Mackay was revealed to the local and national media, flanked by Chairman Dave Whelan and Chief Executive Jonathon Jackson.
A wonderful set piece strike from Shaun Maloney was enough to give Wigan a share of the points against promotion chasing Middlesboro and although this lead was later cancelled out by Bamford, the point was just reward for a committed team performance in MacKay’s first game in charge of the Latics The Wigan line up […]
Oh, what a week eh? I’m not going to try and dress this up, I’ve got a right monk on. Father Jack has really surpassed himself this week, scripting and taking the lead role in a storyline that you’d dismiss as unbelievable if it happened on a soap. No matter how you look at the […]
My mate and friend of the site, TallKenny has recently effed off to live in Cardiff. It’s been disastrous causing the closing of The Tudor, my kitchen shelf to fall off the wall, the latest FIFA corruption scandal and the sacking of Uwe Rosler.

It was reminiscent of the gem he scored in that 1-0 win for Latics against Manchester United in April 2012. A lot has happened since that memorable first win over the Red […]
