Wigan Athletic

The tea room pundits, the media and Dave Whelan all agree that Liverpool are in pretty dire straits at the moment.  Defeat is one thing, but against Latics?  Your common or garden Latics fan might …

Are you over it yet?  No?  Good, because neither am I, or maybe I’ve just not ‘accidentally’ bumped into enough scousers to have fully expressed my smugness just yet.  The only thing I’ve had by …

It’s easy to be kind about Liverpool, whilst hardly clean of soul they aren’t a monolith like united nor a richer than thou plaything like Chelsea or City. In a lot of ways they’re …

Having suffered from laryngitis for the majority of the week, I was in dire need of something to cheer me up this weekend. Seeing Everton beat Hull 5-1 yesterday went some way to achieving this, …

Are things really that bad?  They must be because we don’t talk any more, I don’t think things have been this bad since the Attack of the JCLs back in the mid-naughties.  It’s all shouting, …

So we’re at the stage of the season where a win would be delightful, if not essential, so what game do we get?  That’s right we get Liverpool, with just about the only bonus being …

“What is the difference between systems, you tell me?” and there basically ended any discussion on the subject of 4-4-2.  Not because no one could give Roberto Martinez their views on football tactics, but because …

Not a Patch On Playlist #4

When you think of Liverpool and music are you still stuck with images of chirpy young men with bowl cuts and skinny suits?  Of course you do, because this is …

We have been ask to remind people about the Supporters Club Dinner a fortnight today.  The Supporters Club bar will not be open between now and the closing date of 13th March, people should contact …

You want to know why Roberto Martinez won’t play 4-4-2?  It’s because he thinks that it’s too easy to play against.  You want to know why he persists with Jason Scotland?  It’s because he believes …

Did you know that Wayne Rooney has hit the woodwork six times this season? For a man chasing goal scoring records, that’s damn unlucky. Imagine what a blow to the confidence that might be. Then …

It would be nice if, just once, Latics’ players did something to help themselves.  For some reason I expected more of them today, a bit of reaction against the Spurs injustice driving them on maybe, …

Hopefully, after this afternoon, this isn’t a plea but is a song of celebration. Either way, this goes out to Jon, The Karaoke King and JJB (the bassist not ailing sports retailer).
Whatever happened to that …

There’s not been that much chatter ahead of the trip to St. Andrews.  It’s partly due to Latics’ form, partly that it’s not the most inspiring fixture, partly because of events elsewhere, but I reckon, …

I reckon there must be something wrong with the rotation of the earth, I mean, there’s no way that it’s a week since the last time I was here thinking that the weekend was just …

I didn’t go to this match, but hundreds of City fans did to see Jimmy Bullard’s goalscoring return to action in the reserves match at North Ferriby.
And fortunately one of them, DaveHullCityFan, filmed Bullard’s control, flick and volley into the corner of the Latics keeper’s goal.

It’s recorded nearly 70,000 views so far, while my [...]

It’s nearly two weeks since the last time I forced my impeccable music taste on you, so it’s time for you to ignore me yet again and carry on listening to your Rage Against the …

Well we can postpone work on those “Sack ‘Arry” placards for the time-being at least. With a maturity that even they themselves probably did not realise they possessed our heroes adapted to the conditions better than the other lot, made better chances and saw out the game with consummate professionalism. While I braced myself for [...]

I suppose the inspiration for this list is blindingly obvious.  There were more boos again on Sunday and I think it’s getting to the stage where people don’t even know what they’re booing at, is …
