    The Grim vs the Grecians

    As dour as it usually is, we do normally put away the rubbish in this league at home. Having already beaten this lot twice on the road, I expect nothing less than another win here. It'll help that good old Gary will have them trying to play pretty choirboy football rather than getting into our...

    Carlisle (H)

    Starting the thread now because this has unfortunately become a big game. Shaun Maloney has been able to hide under the excuse that he's been forced to field young players who clearly aren't ready for this level of football and it's a valid excuse when playing sides like Derby. However, newly...

    Shirt Producer

    All the talk about shirt sponsors, revenue etc has got me thinking. I've got no idea how long whatever deal we've got with Puma has left to run, but if we fancy a change, there's a significantly superior kit designer based locally in the North West who are smashing it with their shirt designs...

    Sunderland (H)

    How many do we think they'll beat us by this time then? I'm going for two with Stewart to score both. I also think Tilt will get his first long-awaited sending off of the season.

    Oh...we're halfway there!

    Well that's 23 games gone, so we've officially reached the half-way stage of the season having played every team once. We've come out in 23rd place with 24 points and the second worse goal difference in the league. Replicate that over the next 23 games and we'll be relegated as 48 points doesn't...

    Whose next? Who can we get? Who do you want?

    So it's on to the next one. No beating around the bush, the board has made a big statement with this decision, but it will be defined by who he appoints next and whether they can keep us in the Championship. David Sharpe got it horrendously wrong and it cost us our Championship status. Talal and...

    Sunderland (a)

    My first time going to the SOL since 2011, when Di Santo got gifted a last minute tap in after Al Habsi had single-handedly kept us in the game. Still to this day I've never heard boos live in a stadium louder than then and Steve Bruce got potted straight after. That game was right after we'd...

    Any Lancashire CCC members on this forum?

    Might be writing to an echo chamber here but I was wondering if any Lancashire County Cricket Club members are on this forum? If so, you may be aware that an SGM has been called for October 12th, where a number of resolutions have been put forward related to the recently released high...

    DW Stadium - Cost of Living Crisis

    It's time we had a proper discussion about the cost of living crisis and specifically how this will affect the club going forward. I'm not 100% sure on all the numbers but I'd warrant a guess that the DW Stadium energy bills will rise by at least a quarter of a million. It will actually be worse...

    Thank you your Majesty!

    I hope this proves a false alarm, but with today's news I fear that we may have reached the beginning of the end. With that in mind, I'd like to thank your majesty from the bottom of my heart for her many years of loyal service to our country. We have never and will never experience the likes of...

    T20 Finals Day

    Lancs looking good for their usual bottlejob. Yorkshire post over 200 in a semi final. Very tough chase!

    Something’s not right…

    No signings, now this. Players considering their future apparently. When will we ever learn that this what happens when the owner of a football club is not directly involved in running it...

    Fixture Release Day

    You know the drill by now, 9am release time. As always, I'm hoping for the relegated Prem teams in August whilst we have momentum and they are yet to get their respective houses in order. Wins in recent years against the likes of Stoke and Cardiff in August add weight to this. We've lost four...

    Ipswich (A)

    Three at the back please for christ's sake! I don't want to see four at the back ever again with this squad of players unless Jason Kerr is injured.

    Latics, Rotherham, MK - As It Stands

    Right then, two of these clubs will be in the Championship next season, the other will probably be beaten in the play-offs. Here is the table as it stands and the remaining fixtures. I will update as appropriate. *Updated on 27/4/22 1st - Wigan - Played 45 - Goal Difference 35 - Points 89 2nd...

    Pizza Cup Semi

    I personally think that all suspended players should start as should Magennis, make the lampost earn his wage. I'd start Pearce as well to try and build up his fitness, plus Jones and whichever one of Tilt or Watts that isn't going to start next weekend. The rest of the squad should come from...

    Hillsborough Cat Needs Our Help!

    Season Tickets 2022/23

    I couldn't help but notice that Horwich have put their Season Tickets on sale already, very conveniently timed with them on a good run of form, which to their credit is good marketing. With the upcoming 54% rise in energy bills, it may be a smart strategy for Latics to get our own season...

    Lockdown 4 - Potential effect on Latics

    As much as we all hope it doesn't transpire, I'm afraid at the rate in which cases are climbing, not to mention the recent outbreaks at football clubs, it's starting to feel inevitable that another lockdown is around the corner, which would once again leave us playing without fans in the ground...

    Shrewsbury (H)

    Anyone else forgotten what a home game is? A quick flick on Soccer Special and it's currently a woeful night of results with all the automatic promotion chasing teams not only winning, but boosting their goal differences in the process. Pressure firmly on us tomorrow, not only do we need to...
