Drugs, England Squads, Olympics and Money-making

By: Shaun | Comments No Comments

Right ladies and gentlemen, i hear Adrian Mutu has to pay Chelsea millions of pounds because he was under the influence of drugs whilst he was at the club. This made me laugh. If he was on drugs then what the hell was Roman on when he chose to sack Jose’.
News in Wigan is slow [...]

I’ve got more points on my driving lisense

By: Shaun | Comments 1 Comment

Soo, another opening day defeat, this time to the ’staamm of Cockneyland. The game finished 2-1 to the Happy Hammers but it showed that Wigan won’t lie down to any team. Dean Ashton had a decent first ten minutes; firstly turning Paul Scharner and slamming the ball into the net. Good goal. Minutes later it [...]

The Real Titus Bramble

By: Shaun | Comments 5 Comments

He is the laughing stock of the league. He makes mistakes which usually lead to goals. He has lapses of concentration from time to time and he is called all sorts of abusive names. Step forward, Titus Bramble.
When he signed for Newcastle for £5 million in 2002, many thought he was a bright, upcoming future [...]

Premier League PREDICTIONS

By: Shaun | Comments 19 Comments

Right, i just thought a nice pre-season prediction was in order as we creep closer and closer to the big kick off on the 16th. A lot of people are saying that the league will be split into many smaller leagues such as the ‘big four’, UEFA Cup challengers, Mid table loungers and relegation fodder. [...]

Match-debating everywhere

By: Shaun | Comments 1 Comment

Right now its about just over a week until the new Premier league season starts, so thats about a just over a week of sanity left then. You see, on the 16th August the Sky Sports bandwagon will roll back onto our screens with phrases such as “its back bigger and better than ever before” [...]

Christ, get me some pills!

By: Shaun | Comments 3 Comments

I’m going to stick my neck out here. Wigan are going to get into the European places in the coming season. Yes people, come May 2009 the final league table will show ‘little’ Wigan in the euro slots.
Last season after Steve Bruce (he of the big fat head, as rival fans like to say) took [...]

By: Shaun | Comments 2 Comments

So, i’m contemplating assaulting one of my work collegues because we had a disagreement and earlier on i stabbed my burning cigarette into a friends eye because i felt like it. I feel like me and some friends need to dish out some knuckles on a member of the public as well as they stand [...]

Going…going…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

By: Shaun | Comments 3 Comments

Wigan v Fulham. If ever there was a fixture to put you into a deep sleep then this is it. I asked a friend before what he thought the score would be for this match but he told me the game would probably be abandoned after the players fell asleep on the pitch. Other people [...]

Why Heskey deserves his England call up

By: Shaun | Comments 1 Comment

Before you lose interest in this blog by thinking I’m a biased Wiganer who (of course) would think that Heskey deserves his call up, please bear with me. Over the past season and a bit I have watched Emile at the JJB stadium. In nearly all the games he has played in he has made [...]

A loss which feels like a win

By: Shaun | Comments No Comments

I suppose i could be negative about the result: A late goal sinks disappointing Wigan.
No.
It is true that conceding a 87th minute goal from Mikey Owen is upsetting (especially as its the second late goal we have conceded in the last week) and it is true that Wigan never created an awful lot in [...]
