Collector of cheesy Wigan Athletic puns. That annoying bloke off the Progress With Unity Podcast. All opinions are stolen from someone else.
The media is a strange beast. In the week following our bruising at Old Trafford, I note that many critics labelled Latics unlucky to lose 2–0, which completely surprised me.
