Oh Wigan Athletic you contrary football club. How we’ve missed you. So after that glorious win over Fleetwood it was back to the focus of the cup’s this week and it’s fair to say Saturday didn’t exactly go to plan. A strong side was named by Leam Richardson, in his own words treating the cup […]
Arsenal, West Ham, Chesterfield, Gillingham – a series of clubs you would never normally lump together but all have something in common and after Tuesday we can add Fleetwood Town to that list. All have been 2-0 up and flying in games before Wigan Athletic staged Lazarus like comebacks to eventually triumph. All of those […]
The blows keep raining down, like a boxer curled up on the floor of the ring with the referee stood over for the count. It really is a case of how much more can Wigan Athletic take? How much more can this club, this fanbase, this beleaguered coaching staff take? If December had seen positive […]
So that’s the week that was, it’s very much one step forward and two steps back for Wigan Athletic at the moment. This is natural with a club still in the pits of administration and all the chaos that goes with it, especially a side that is so young and with such a high turnover […]
It’s often said that Wigan Athletic achieved more in 25 years than most clubs did in a 125 years.

What a truly horrific month July has been, in a year that keeps on kicking you long after the referee has rung the bell at the side of the ring. To be honest Wednesday night against Fulham followed much the same path as I had expected, but where I thought we would probably get the […]
What a sorry state we’re in, a season that promised so much has truly descended in to the ridiculous. That win over Cardiff at the start of August feels a million miles away now and Wigan Athletic are truly staring in to the abyss as January draws to a close. The alarm bells were there […]
What a night! It’s been a strange old week in the world of Wigan Athletic. It was another disappointing result for Latics, on the road with last Saturday’s defeat to Nottingham Forest. Latics certainly pressed more than at the City Ground than they had in the previous week at Hillsborough but the end result was […]
It never rains but it pours, or so the saying goes – Paul Cook is adamant that rain is going to stop soon and brighter skies are around the corner. As it is it was another Saturday another defeat, though I doubt many Wiganer’s will be shedding a tear at departing the FA Cup so […]
It’s a worrying time for Wigan Athletic and by far the most worrying time of Paul Cook’s reign so far. I use the term worrying for a few reasons – our form is clearly a worry but equally the distinct lack of confidence that has been evident in the home matches against first Birmingham and […]
