Alternative Match Highlights – Wigan Athletic v Ipswich Town
Latics v Ipswich was a game that defied all logic. Why the insistence on goal scoring all of a sudden? And why such vitriol towards an unfortunate man that misplaced his contact lenses? Well, I think you know the answer to at least one of those supposedly rhetorical questions. But for everything else, here are […]

Alternative Match Highlights: Wigan 0 Reading 3
None this week. Nope! No highlights whatsoever, regular or “alternative” (previous word to be used in conjunction with physical air quotes), as even media cheesemeister Robert O Martinez would struggle to weave a pleasant narrative. Only joking! I’ve got 400 words to fill so let’s type semi-indiscriminately and hope the resultant splurge is engaging, but […]

Alternative Match Highlights: Wigan 0 Burton 0
Isn’t it odd how these ‘alternative’ match ‘highlights’ only seem to appear after scoreless exercises in footballing endurance? They’re like marathon games of Scrabble without a points system, board, letter tiles or pencil. With Wayne Rooney and David Beckham. Well, I can reveal that it’s no coincidence – take away the actual highlights and you’re […]

Players of Euro 2016: Alternative Edition
So Portugal took the Euro 2016 trophy. So the limping Ronaldo took all credit as he wept, partially through pain but mostly the joy of victory. So far, so utterly predictable, humdrum, run of the mill, ordinary, beige and any other semi-descriptive term callously ripped from the ancient stone tablets of our prehistoric thesaurus (rex). […]

Zzzz… booo-rrrring! Couldn’t they have picked more interesting highlights? I mean, supremely worked Will Grigg winners are great and all, but you see ’em all the blooming time.

Wigan 1-0 Rochdale: Alternative match highlights
You’ve seen the official 2 minute match highlights package. But now, here’s the stuff they deemed too sexy for YouTube or even the Internet. Warning: contains Grant Holt David ‘Two Shots’ Perkins and Stephen ‘Not Neil’ Warnock each bursting through midfield with marauding 40 yard whippet runs. Who knew they were so quick? Yanic Wildschut […]

Millwall 0 Wigan 0: Alternative match highlights
This week coming to you from the Beamback Enterprise AKA the South Stand lounge. A superb strike by the back of some guy’s head… or at least, that’s the way it looked from where I was stood. Why do the tallest guys always sit right at the front? Jussi Jaaskelainen passing a goal kick into […]
