It’s hard to believe that it’s 20 (TWENTY) years since we pipped Fulham to the ‘old’ Football League Third Division title, by virtue of Graeme Jones’s record 31 league goals in a season. (Whatever happened to him?) [In most seasons we would have been runners-up, but a temporary rule change which saw goals scored take precedence over […]
It’s been a while, it feels like ages, but the Pie at Night is back with a podcast recorded, cleverly, just before a game, just to make sure we end up looking like idiots. Ravaged by the three pronged evils of taking your kids to the game, man-flu and having to drive from Yorkshire, the […]
As week’s go I dont think Wigan Athletic will have faced a busier one in recent times. Let’s start off at Old Trafford – in all honesty I was a bit disappointed on Sunday. The buzz around the tie before hand and the amount of upsets on Saturday had given the Latics faithful the hope […]
If you work for Wigan Athletic, don’t even think of asking for annual leave on 31st January. Ever. I can’t decide whether it’s great planning or terrible planning that we always seem to have so many ins and outs on deadline day but we can certainly have no complaints that it’s boring.
Following on from last night’s Part 1 , we bring you Part 2 of our EXCLUSIVE look at our new signings. Mikael Mandron Mikael Mandron was quite literally working as a waitress in a cocktail bar – “Southampton’s premier transvestite experience” Cock/Tailz, when he was plucked from the obscurity of the National League (Is that the […]
If you didn’t sleep straight through the last 24 hours, you’ll already be well aware that there were a number of new faces parachuted into the DW Stadium yesterday, all joining up with Warren Joyce’s bunch of merry men… For many of you, there will have been plenty of scratching of heads and mumbling “…never bloody […]
As horrific as December was for Warren Joyce’s Wigan Athletic January has been a completely different matter. Whatever has changed for Joyce and his side it’s working. The win against Brentford was our third win in a row, Joyce’s first home win in the league and probably the best performance I’ve seen under the new […]
We weren’t about to buy two train tickets to manchester this week so we sent Jimmy on to the mean streets of Wigan with the difficult challenge of finding us a Manchester United fan to talk to. As unlikely as it seems, he found one, Paul aka @NorthernCasual gives us a different perspective on Sunday’s FA […]
Well, well Mr Joyce, with all these shiny gleaming wins you are really spoiling us. Apologies – if that sounds a bit like a chocolate advert featuring sharp suited ambassadors, well it’s not exactly by accident. As ever at Wigan Athletic, we go from feast to famine, and then feast again the last few weeks. […]
We only planned to do a quick one but we can’t help ourselves. Get a Brentford fan on the podcast and ask him a few questions. Nothing more, nothing less. But we had to talk about the Burton game didn’t we? And the furore over United ticket allocations. Plus we need a bit of music […]
