IT’S NOT OVER YET
What? You mean the football season is still going? I thought we’d decided we were declaring for this year before things get any worse.

12th Man: Fate sealed?
Fate Sealed? The defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday had somewhat of a final feel to it. Not a cup final of course, the days of those are long gone. But a final nail in the coffin? Perhaps. The results from the weekend hadn’t helped in anyway. Bristol City looking dead and buried before they […]
Disorganised defence
Ever have one of those days when you just turn up and everything falls majestically into place? No, neither do we! With one of us running late, two others badly prepared (what, we’re meant to prepare for this thing?) and Jimmy only doing 2 pages of notes instead of his usual 5, we can only […]
12th Man: The Gamble backfires
We needed a guarantee and instead we went for the gamble – that line can probably sum up the decision to appoint Warren Joyce back in October. Nearly five months later that gamble has back fired spectacularly and once again Wigan Athletic are staring relegation square in the face. There are many similarities to the […]
Continuity Error
I wasn’t overly distraught over Warren Joyce being relieved of his duties. I felt very sorry for him, both because it wasn’t working out and I don’t like to see anybody lose their job.
Hold Back the Night
This time last week, I was trying hard not to think about the Bristol City game and distracting myself by building up to watching John Bramwell at the Old Courts. There’ll be a review of that gig somewhere at some point but suffice, for now, to say it was a decent distraction, the first entertainment […]
Hell is round the corner
We’re back with another Emporium of S***e and L is the letter under our alphabetically based scrutiny today. Seems strange how we’re on the brink of relegation and so few of the current crop are being chucked in, there’s time yet I suppose.
After the (Michael) Love has gone
The Pie At Night team resume in suitably cheerful fashion with the Latics marooned in the relegation swamp. We talk about our Oscar like gaffes without a mention of Bramble, Caldwell or Burn before briefly laughing at Bolton players spitting their dummies at their own fans. But we can’t spend the whole podcast laughing at […]
We’re Getting Back Together
*Sorry, We’re getting the band back together… Your club is in deep doo-doo, the crowds are revolting and the team looks like it’s losing interest so what else was there for us to do in latest episode of the Pie at Night Podcast to ponder the big question on everyone’s mind of the moment. If […]
Joyce Division
I started writing this article over the weekend, fuelled by another inept performance at home against a side who should have been dispatched if they had been attacked with any sort of conviction. The events of yesterday have changed the tone slightly of this piece now, but still leaves many thoughts running through my head. […]
