I got a letter from the chairman Earlier today I Opened and read it It said I’m a sucker They wanted me to pass the ball or whatever Picture me given’ a damn — I said never Here is a team that never gave a damn About playing ping pong with me Because […]
A third home defeat on the trot for Wigan coupled with a first half performance which was arguably the worse forty five minutes served up at the DW for many a year was enough to gift Derby the three points.
It has been a difficult week for Wigan Athletic and Owen Coyle. There has been a torrent of anger vented towards the manager following consecutive home defeats, with fans getting frustrated by a mediocre league position and a probable exit from Europe.
