Put away your Suns and Stars, and purchase today's I (eye) who have devoted a full page to Charlie titled "Hughes tipped for the top"an article of such eloquence clubs will be at the end of our season knocking on our door to sign him. It also highlights Wigans commitment to youth stating, we are...

The Christmas party for us extra timers (over 120 of us) at the DW was a great success. The meal was outstanding entertainment top class and the highlight of the afternoon for me was being served my coffee by one of the players in our under 18 squad. All these fine lads were in attendance...

Woke up this morning with that feeling I had under Paul Jewel that we were, and are ready to conquer new horizons, that the nightmare years were behind us. The days of throwing our entrance money into a bucket before going into Spingfield, before Dave came along to rescue us, and failed...

10 points already just under a quarter of the way to a survival total, I can not believe it. This club as been through hell since we were put into administration. I woke up this morning thinking the new lady Prime minister might be able to work magic. IR you and your staff have performed way...

The answer to whether we are champs or not is in the hands of Leam. To become champs we need to win. no playing safe hoping not to lose. If he does that, he will go on into the Championship with faith in him restored, come second and many of the fans will doubt his ability to manage at this...

The smart money is on MK Dons to finish second. That will leave us with a play off place, and as I have said before the play offs are a lottery. To salvage our season and show something for our endeavours we need to win that Semi and get to Wembley, and participate in the Papa john final...

I expect us to fall down from the top spots this month. We will shed points until IR get a grip and starts playing a winning formation which will cement a play off place. Hopefully IR will achieve this, but as we all know the play offs are a lottery. The season need not be a failure, and can...

I remember when the Moses of Football Bill Shankly was asked when he joined Liverpool as the manager (in the 50s) how he was going to rebuild Liverpool, he said and I quote, GIVE ME THE SPINE and I will build a team around it. The rest is history, Liverpool went on to greatness. That statement...

With regard to the proposed take over/buyout, remember nothing is certain until the fat lady sings. We should all know that with our history, of those breath taking near misses, escaping relegation when in the Prem by the skin of our teeth. Our win against City against all the odds, no my...

Our situation is dire, the more I read it is like a man waiting in his cell to go to the gallows, surrounded by people full of sympathy, for this man (through no fault of his own was caught up in circumstance beyond his control), and the vicar who wants to save his soul for with no material...

My late wife and I use to take many trips with the now defunct Shearings, were we visited large estates belonging to the National trust, but were owned by the upper classes before death duties kicked in. Many of the residences we visited, we were greeted by the Lord and Lady, whose family use...

Many years ago 65+ I went to Anfield to watch Liverpool play Notts County (an original member of the football league formed in 1888). I remember it well for Notts had a very famous center forward playing for then by the name of Tommy Lawton, Notts were a big club those days. I noticed quite...

I have read today in the financial page of a very reputable paper that since people are being advised to self isolate, the sale of sex toys have soared, no more so than in Italy (60%), followed by Canada and America. People always find things to do, if by circumstances they are forced to change...

Its not all doom and gloom, league 1 was enjoyable, no cold nights in Jan, Feb watching football, knowing that 99% of our fixtures will KO at 3pm Sat, a more civilised way to watch the beautiful game. Hopefully we will see more of our young players being blooded in the first team, being...

I posted many posts ago, that although I thought Cook had reached his level of incompetence and needed to be replaced, the board would not take action. Reading in the Wigan daily if reported accurately, Cook was talking as if he had the full support of the board. Talking that this was a hard...

Paul please step aside, you can not take us forward only backwards. I don't want you sacked {you are no Prince Andrew} but we need someone to look at our predicament through a fresh pair of eyes, to see what you can't see. We need someone who can put the right sort of fuel in the tank, to...

I remember well many seasons ago Liverpool having a tremendous twosome upfront by the names Toshack and Kegan, a twosome that put the fear of God up the best defences and scored many a goal. Like Toshack, who also was a Welsh international we have Moore. Both tall and good in the air, so our...

I did post on here that Brentford were a pass and move side, and that it was part of their DNA. This statement came after watching us play them at Griffin Park last season were they ripped us apart, and only for Walton on that Day it could have been a cricket score. We might survive playing...

What is your opinion of the cask ale selling under the name of Wigan Athletic. I had a few pints of it, and the only negative was, as all cask beer are, warmer than the lagers, but a good pint all the same. On a cold winter night game it will be more palatable that those chemical largers, which...

I have stated in a previous post that we are at the point were the condemned man is standing on top of the trap door. The pastor has said his last words on salvation to the individual, whether the condemned man listens or not is another matter (did not cook say the players wont listen to him)...
