  • The Paper Plane Saga Vol II: Morsy and Caldwell reveal all

    If they aren’t shopping lists, and they aren’t crib notes for a forthcoming driving test, then what exactly could those little pieces of paper be all about? Once again, television cameras spotted Wigan Athletic players surreptitiously passing notes between themselves during the Rochdale game on Saturday. Cue wolf whistles from the East Stand, who only […]

  • [Audio] Fan Sites Forum with Gary Caldwell and Jonathan Jackson

    [Audio] Fan Sites Forum with Gary Caldwell and Jonathan Jackson

    A million and one questions, just sixty (eight) minutes to ask them. Hey, the mathematics don’t *have* to work – this is football, not the Countdown numbers game! Speaking of which, am I the only one that has never solved a single Conundrum in my life? Gah, I wish I had been able to ask […]

  • PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 136: Autumnal equi-detox

    PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 136: Autumnal equi-detox

    Yesterday was the first day of autumn, and it really doesn’t surprise me. Because even though Saturday’s game played out under sunny skies, the DW surface betrayed the true time of year. Minds were cast back to Septembers past, with pitches soggier than a slice of toast covered in a particularly runny bean sauce and […]

  • AGL@JWAW: Interview with Mike Flynn

    AGL@JWAW: Interview with Mike Flynn

    This interview was originally conducted by Liam Sephton and published in an issue of All Gone Latics from the 2014/15 season. I lost my crib notes so I can’t be sure of the exact edition it appeared in. Also my watch broke. And I can’t tell the time. And any other excuses I neglected to […]

  • Porn stars and piracy: the cut-throat world of football stickers with author Greg Lansdowne

    Porn stars and piracy: the cut-throat world of football stickers with author Greg Lansdowne

    It’s amazing how those bits of sticky paper had a mesmeric effect on an eight year old kid. It must be part of the human condition to endeavour to finish things, hence the intense fascination with completing every sticker album you ever own. Of course, being the type that instead attached them to the teacher’s […]

  • Cherry Chimes Round III: Interview with Bournemouth blogger Peter Bell

    Cherry Chimes Round III: Interview with Bournemouth blogger Peter Bell

    Welcome back to JWAW TV! After the break, a Bournemouth match preview with Peter Bell of Cherry Chimes. But first, a word from our sponsor… (Wait, what do you mean they terminated the contract? Nooo… I’m finished!) Ahem. Well, there seem to be some technical problems with our commercials, so just pretend some guy is […]

  • Teletext is back… in mug form, thanks to p302.co.uk

    Teletext is back… in mug form, thanks to p302.co.uk

    All three of JWAW’s regular readers should know all too well the joys of teletext – I can’t go a whole post (or even fanzine article, hint hint) without breaking into a nostalgic monologue about how the Ceefax football logo became burned onto the screen of my CRT television. Heck, nigh on half of all […]

  • PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast special: Uwe Rosler Fans Forum

    PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast special: Uwe Rosler Fans Forum

    Just when this week’s Big Kick-Off needed more hype, a predatory Progress With Unity bursts forth, microphone in hand, to get those exclusive interviews. Except *this* was an open forum, and it was all reported on News Now within minutes of the event. But don’t you dare spoil our one chance to be relevant, you […]

  • PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 87: Well I’ll be a Chunky’s Uncle

    PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 87: Well I’ll be a Chunky’s Uncle

    Heeey, you guyyys! It’s official: the man known only as Chunk (as printed just above his belly button) is PWU’s Lucky Mascot of the Week. And possibly next week’s too, but we’ll see what happens in the forthcoming season re-opener against QPR on Friday. If Wigan lose, he shall most likely be forgotten about, but […]

  • Latics Website Editors’ Forum with Uwe Rosler and Jonathan Jackson

    Latics Website Editors’ Forum with Uwe Rosler and Jonathan Jackson

    As the door creaked open, at least half a dozen pairs of eyes simultaneously stared in its general direction. A small ripple of applause ran through the home dressing room to greet Uwe Rosler, who took a seat by the coffee machine. It was a relatively low-key entrance, especially considering the motley crew of Latics […]
