PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 69: Readying the parade bus
Here’s a poser for you: Where does one goal equal five points? Why, in football of course! Wigan Athletic’s impressive impersonation of a George Graham Arsenal team is a refreshing antidote to the hairy-legged hoof-ball of Wim- erm, MK… erm, Wimbledon proportions, yes. *Clears throat nervously* Speaking of famous cup winners, the battle for the […]

Wigan 0-0 Birmingham: God Gave Sausage Rolls to You
Wigan is an unsettling place for 365 days of the Earth year, but it must be particularly disturbing to land in the town centre on this, of all our pre-designated 24-hour clusters. Forget that Doctor Who Christmas special, this moderately-sized town somewhere round the backside of Ince-in-Makerfield is the genuine extraterrestrial multicultural epicentre of the […]

I will say that a draw was the fair result given the even nature of […]

Birmingham 1-0 Wigan: A point missed
An improved second half performance couldn’t quite grab a vital point for Wigan at St. Andrews. In fact, things could have been even better considering Birmingham’s average second half, which saw Chris Kirkland tested only once, but Latics once again struggled to create opportunities. A draw would have been very handy, but as it stands […]

Wigan 2-3 Birmingham: Did you expect anything more?
Forget about curates’ eggs, Wigan’s performance today was more like a Scotch egg: on the whole meaty, but with an all too apparent yellow centre. There was plenty of sausagey goodness to be found, but the whole thing was spoiled by the failings of Latics’ eggy underbelly: the defence. And man, does it leave a […]
