View from the North Stand: Dan Fitch of tottenhamblog.com
If you cast your mind back to November, you may remember a very special match preview for what proved to be a highly notable game in this season’s Premier League. Those who haven’t completely blanked the weekend from their minds (and I’m very sorry for once again evoking repressed memories here) will remember that Dan […]

Fired up for Flag Day: Bolton preview
Anybody who’s checked the official Latics site in the last couple of days will probably be aware of a promotion by club sponsors 188BET. If you remember back to December before the fixture was rearranged due to adverse weather conditions, the hype surrounding this game was massive – a Monday night, last Prem game before […]

Wigan 'Tesco' Athletic v Sunderland: Match preview
A bit of a pivotal game this weekend. It isn’t going to be the ‘be all and end all’ cup final match that’ll decide the fate of the club for the whole season, but it is pretty important in the circumstances. There’s that old saying that if you’re in the relegation zone at Christmas you’ll […]

View from the other side of the fence: Dan Fitch of Tottenhamblog.com
A match preview with a difference this weekend. Instead of the one-sided nonsense you usually find here of a Friday, I think it’s about time we took a fresh perspective on the weekend in prospect, don’t you? Ahead of the Tottenham-Wigan clash at White Hart Lane, JWAW caught up with seasoned Spurs fan Dan Fitch […]

Big Match Preview: Wigan v Fulham
It feels weird waking up on the Saturday morning knowing you aren’t playing that day. Perhaps you’re out of the FA Cup in one of the early rounds or your match has been switched to a Sunday due to a European fixture — as is the case with this weekend’s Wigan v Fulham game — […]

Big North West derby preview: Burnley v Wigan
What, you thought I meant the Liverpool-Man U game? Not a chance. More local derby goodness to come this weekend, with a trip down the road to Turf Moor on Saturday. It’s a tasty encounter in prospect, as although both teams have experienced extremes of good and bad thus far in the 2009 campaign, should […]

Picking ourselves up from the floor: Blackpool preview
I think it would be best to write off Saturday as a bad day at the office and concentrate on the immediate future. After all, you don’t get relegated based on one result… at least hopefully not. A bit of a diversion first, though, as next on the radar are Championship climbers and local rivals […]

Wigan v Manchester United match preview
Tuesday night was a bit of a blur, if I’m honest. The overall feeling was one of frustration, and, somewhat surprisingly, the boo-boys were out in force for much of the game. I’m not sure if it’s where I was sat in the West Stand, but there was a general feeling of negativity, of a […]

Wigan v St. Mirren match preview
First of all, I will say that I did not go to, or even listen to the Norwich match, hence the lack of a match report. Call me a fool, but I got confused and thought it was on Sunday for some reason. Thanks a lot Ceefax! Needless to say I’m going to heed my […]
