You know, despite the inclement weather, poor pitch, the fact everyone decided to watch the game on television and of course the 3-0 loss, Sunday wasn’t such a bad day. There wasn’t quite the fervour of Wednesday, but by the same token the weight of expectation wasn’t quite as heavy, at least in my eyes. Didn’t stop people booing our lads off the pitch again though.
The boo boys can console themselves in the fact that, thanks to other results falling our favour, things aren’t much different than they were going into the weekend, which gives us a bit more time out of the relegation zone. Well, hopefully we won’t fall into it at all, but at least there’s a bit of breathing space there.

For reasons that have been made all too prominent in the past week and a half, Wigan don’t have a game this weekend. Worry not, however, as it gives a chance for Jesus Was a Wiganer to take a breather in the form of more photos, this time from the Everton game last month.
On that day, I made up some rubbish about moles beneath the DW surface and how they’re set to blight our attempts to stay in the Premier League this season. By ‘moles’, I actually meant rugby matches, and last night Wigan Warriors played their first home game of the 2010 season.
We’ve had plenty of fun in seasons past with the ‘poor pitch’ excuse doled out from the likes of Arsene Wenger, Arsenal and… Arsene Wenger. Whilst we aren’t exactly going to be mudsliding down the banks of the River Dougie, I’ll hazard a guess Liverpool, Tottenham and (erm) Arsenal will have something to say, especially if we take points off them in forthcoming games at Robin Park.
Anyhow, I’m veering off subject now, so on to the pics.

I’ve been slacking on the photo front (and in pretty much every other aspect of blog maintenance, come to think of it) recently, but rest assured there’s a nice selection of snaps from the Everton match (well, not the actual match, you understand – I’m not risking getting my season ticket revoked) on the way later this week.
That’s all in the near future, but console yourself in a brief array of pics from Stoke on Tuesday for the time being. As it was a night game, it was more difficult to get clear shots, hence the fewer than usual number of photos. However, there are a few good ones in there as well, including one or two of a very special guest… oh alright then, it wasn’t the real Stig, rather a person performing his role on behalf of either the BBC or some local company looking to capitalise on the popularity of Top Gear.
More pics from other dates at the DW — including those Boxing Day fancy dress snaps I promised you just over a month back — to come very soon. It seems I’ve got a bit of catching up to do.
