Just finished reading three books about the beloved game I adore, “I am Zlatan Ibrahimovic” “When The Whistle Blows: The Story of The Footballer’s Battalion in The Great War” & “Knocking Down Walls” by non other Latics Manager Uwe Rosler. A varied selection you will no doubt agree ( if you have read ’em) I […]
You’ve got to love Barnsley Mick haven’t you? I suspect that some of our fans would probably love a man like Mick McCarthy running our club, even though he is also a foreigner (from Yorkshire). He did a proper job on us on Monday night and I think we have to take our hats off […]
Well it’s a little doom & gloom in the TNS Offices this week, Wildheart has been listening to Thrash Metal to try and lift the mood. Alas though, it’s not done any favours & after an emergency TNS meeting last night, the actions meant Bert had to pop to B&Q to buy some Window locks […]
A goal from former Wigan forward Connor Sammon was enough to secure a first ever victory at the DW despite a late rally from Wigan Athletic. Manager Uwe Rosler opted to hand home debuts for midfielders Kvist, Forshaw and striker Delort with the injured Huws and Taylor dropping to the bench. The game […]
They say that every new manager likes to bring in his own men. Owen Coyle brought in ten new players at the start of last season. He had little choice than to do otherwise, with twelve members of the senior squad players having left following relegation, together with the need for a large squad due […]
Well we’ve had a few days since that Yorkshire incident & luckily the next match is up. The TNS office in Wigan is starting to come back to life, as the roving reporters come back from Europe and the US of A. Believe Wildheart may even write up a Baseball match report, if he has […]
I don’t like getting critical over footballing matters. Indeed, I prefer to pour scorn as a nation of bedroom football managers tell the actual manager of their football club everything they’re doing wrong via the medium of the internet. I’ve always done my football writing from a cultural perspective: fans are there to support the […]
The popular goal custodian, Wigan Athletic’s Ali Al Habsi will be leaving the DW Stadium in January 2015 to go and play in Australia. Oman are one of thirty two countries to have qualified for the Asian Cup “down under”, they have been drawn in Group A along with hosts, Australia, Korea Republic & Kuwait. […]
Latics claimed their first away point of the season, but were unable to convert their superior possession into goals. Many Latics fans will consider this an opportunity lost, that Huddersfield were there for the taking, with three points going begging. However, some will point to last season when a Huddersfield side no better than the […]
If you remember my match preview last week, I mentioned Scammonden Bridge with it being part of the drive up to Huddersfield. For the 695 Wigan fans that made the journey to the John Smith’s Stadium Tuesday evening, the bridge was probably the most exciting time of the whole evening. The match ended 0-0, in […]
