…things come to those who wait. Which might be the case with the latest episode of the Pie at Night podcast, with Dylan flying in to help us finish off the Quality Street, look back on Latics end to 2017 and move into the New Year on the right foot. Or it could have been […]
I pride myself on being a fair minded, unbiased correspondent. Alternatively, if I am going to put forward a biased opinion, I tend to put a disclaimer in at the time. I have in the past referred to a situation where each group of supporters watching the same game often has a different lens on […]
With 4 games coming up in a very short space of time it could mean 9 days to define our season. Does that seem fair or over-dramatic? Nothing is decided in December but then again, every season is determined by pivotal spells where you pull away or get dragged back. We are certainly in the […]

It would appear not given the tirade of abuse aimed at the players coming from behind me on Tuesday night. There’s no denying that we were poor on […]
NOW IS THE WINTER OF OUR 48 PAGE CONTENT Ho ho ho and we have got a festive treat for you as the latest Mudhutter hits the snow coated streets of Wigan, Lancashire. Let’s be honest, the only festive thing about it is the cover, and that’s a pile of cr*p too. But at least […]
We start our search for the worst Latics centre halves with an unashamedly cliquey mention of some time Pie At Night guest John Coyne. We also see fit to include Coyney’s mate, Neil Fitzhenry and Pat McGibbon, who John claimed was rubbish and only got picked because he came from Man United. There was that […]
