Steve Bruce Manager of the Month, surely?

By: Shaun | Comments 5 Comments

Wow! What a season this is turning into. Those who laughed at my pre-season prediction of Wigan in Europe should take a long hard look at themselves. Anyway, it has been an excellent month for the Latics and if Steve Bruce isn’t given manager of the month then its a travesty. Wigan are now top [...]

The end of the line for Ince?

By: Shaun | Comments 1 Comment

At exactly 3.15pm on Saturday, Paul Ince must have felt like he was friendless and out in the cold. His Blackburn team were being ripped apart by a Wigan side who were playing free-flowing football, for arguably the first time at home this season.
It really wasn’t nice to see thousands of Blackburn fans throw their [...]

This Saturday, West Brom came to town and bought the fog with them. It was genuinely the worst fog i had seen in my life. Visibility was poor but in the stadium, you could make out the stand opposite. Just.

Boing, Boing Baggies come to town

By: Shaun | Comments No Comments

Saturday at 3.pm sees the visit of West Brom to the JJB Stadium. Observers of the league table may notice that ‘the Baggies’ as they are known, are bottom with just 11 points. However, that does not mean they are useless. No one has been cast adrift a la Derby County last season, and Wigan, [...]

Why Rugby League is better than Football

By: Shaun | Comments 7 Comments

Yesterday evening at around 7PM, i was stood on the terraces at Knowsley Road, home to ST Helens rugby league football club. Now, its not your average stadium, Knowsley Road. It doesn’t have the plastic, shiny, sparkling look of your Old Traffords or your Wembleys. Nope, its over 100 years old and has leaky roofs, [...]

The game started with the news that Mike Pollit replaced Chris Kirkland in the Wigan goal due to the latter sustaining an injury in the warmup. Bramble also came in at the heart of the [...]
