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 | 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.

Hi, hope you and your team had a good weekend.

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, [...]

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.
