Here at The Pie At Night, we thought we’d give you a bit of a treat by naming some of our favourite albums of the year… Now we’re not saying these are THE best albums of the year, they are just some that have tickled our fancy over the last 12 months; some you might […]
Remember that sunny day in April on the Fylde Coast? And the week after when Gary Caldwell was the toast of the club and Wigan town centre bounced to the sound of Will Grigg’s on Fire? Those memories that last a lifetime, yet already seem so far away.
We do this sort of nonsense on a regular basis and whilst we’re off filling our faces with mince pies and port, you can listen to Episode 14 – The Lad With the Jazzy Shirt on the player below or by searching for us in your favourite podcast app. [buzzsprout episode=’451004′ player=’true’] We promise you that […]
In a Soulful Christmas Mood The Christmas song has been given a bad press in recent years, no doubt partly influenced by Simon Cowell and his legacy of X-Factor one week wonders that hijacked the Christmas number one for over a decade. Add in to that the various novelty Christmas songs and generic pop songs […]
a goal (and maybe some points). Just opened Day 16 on my Wigan Athletic advent calendar. Empty again! No points, no shots, no goals. Maybe, just maybe, behind tomorrow’s window there might be a small festive crumb of comfort hiding inside, and I don’t mean a mouldy mince pie. There were enough glimmers of hope […]

We’re back once again like a train trying to get into Wigan Northwestern station after a landslide. To be honest, the lack of Sixy Talk hasn’t been from want of trying, but when we realised that the last article coincided with the victory at Cardiff, we decided to put some extra effort in this week […]
Five minutes in and the over-riding thought of Warren Joyce’s first ‘proper game’ at the DW Stadium (it’s only right, for so many reasons, that we wipe the Reading game from our minds) is that at least we’re not 2-0 down (I said “only fair”, we were 2-0 down after 5 minutes, that sort of […]
Nothing too fancy for this weekend’s perfect hat-trick, just three tracks with a tenuous link to today’s opponents and some last-minute clues to our Art of Football competition. You’ll be pleased to know I haven’t got time to waffle on, so let’s get on with the music… Left Foot: Future Islands – A Dream of […]
