Even by our ‘It’s Never Dull” © standards this has to go some. After it emerged last week that we had approached Yaya Toure to speak to us about the managerial vacancy and he had subsequently turned us down to remain as a coach at Tottenham, a few days later another Toure was suddenly in […]
At what point does this become terminal? I’m sure I wasn’t alone thinking that on Wednesday evening. After the inevitable L was posted alongside Wigan 0-1 Stoke. Once again a half decent performance was rewarded with nothing, but perhaps it’s all we deserved? I’m not sure, all I do know is Blackburn apart Autumn has […]
As Paul McCartney once sang ‘It’s getting better all the time’, eighth place in the table, three wins (consecutive away wins) and four draws with just one defeat. If anyone tells you they wouldn’t have taken that on our return to the Championship they’re lying. This is arguably the best Championship campaign we’ve had in […]
It’s been some week for Wigan Athletic, another point on the board from a tough away match at Norwich along with the signing of one of League One’s top stars last season – Nathan Broadhead. Looking back at Norwich and apart from the first quarter of the match we were more than worth a point, […]
I think any concerns about whether we could compete at this level were expelled on Saturday evening. A hard fought local derby against those lads from up the M6 showed that we can and will compete at this level. Unfortunately the injuries are piling up now, Jack Whatmough the latest to pick up a knock […]
So here we go, ready to do it all again? It feels like this season has come around quicker than any previously, and that’s probably true. Thanks to the winter World Cup it means we’ll be starting earlier than ever before and finishing later than ever before, with a near month long break in the […]
There’s drama and then there’s DRAMA, Latics delivered the latter in spades on Saturday afternoon. After nearly three weeks without football it was like we had never been away last week with a resounding win over Oldham followed by that win over Blackburn. Mr Happy aka Tony Mowbray has Blackburn dreaming of a return to […]
International breaks are a real pain aren’t they? Don’t get me wrong, I love watching England and I enjoy international football. I’m not one of those who would do away with the international calendar. I understand why it’s so integral to world football. But nonetheless when an international weekend comes along and inevitably ruins a […]
It comes to something when the most disappointing aspect of the opening month of the season was a draw against Wolves Under 21’s in the Pizza Cup and a subsequent penalty shoot out defeat. There’s no point spending time worrying about Tuesday, the real business of the evening came off the pitch and as promised […]
Four points from the first three games, not a bad return considering we ended last season with five contracted players. Not bad either considering everything our club had to go through last season to even get to this point of starting the season. This seems to be forgotten by everyone else in League One at […]
