Alteration stations: Wolves v Wigan preview
These previews are starting to follow an all too familiar formula of late: Latics need points to try and snap out of an extended losing run before the season escalates into a full-on disaster before we even hit December. Continuing in the positive vein I’ve resolved to take (mostly in the interests of preventing the […]

Wigan 0-2 Fulham: When it isn’t your season
Living in the North West of England, something you’re never surprised to see is inclement weather. Wigan artist Lawrence Isherwood painted street scenes to an almost exclusively dull, smoggy backdrop, whilst Winstanley band The Verve seemed to be obsessed with rain – see ‘Grey Skies’, ‘Stormy Clouds’ and ‘Valium Skies‘ for a small taste. One […]

Rambling and a-gambling: Wigan v Fulham preview
Given Wigan’s horrific recent run of losses, a Pools player would mark this game as a sure-fire away win. But, as I have often discovered to my disappointment, games never transpire precisely as you expect them – there are always two or three games that spoil your chances of winning the £10,000 jackpot. From a […]

Wigan v Bolton (15 October 2011) photos
This was one of those games you wish you’d brought a cap for, especially if you’re towards the back of the East Stand. I did not and spent 3/4 of the game shielding my eyes from the sun, as it was a surprisingly clement afternoon for Wigan in October. It kind of made up for […]

Wigan v QPR (27 August 2011) photos
It’s time to catch up on some JWAW photography from recent home games. First up, we have snaps of the warmup from Wigan’s victory over QPR just under two months ago, which is incidentally the last time they did anything but lose. Has it really been that long since our last point? A selection of […]

Newcastle 1-0 Wigan: Latics hit rock bottom, only way is up
Having already conveyed most of my immediate thoughts in yesterday’s live Twitter update experiment, I was slightly wary of posting a Latics-Newcastle match report for fear of repeating myself. Then I thought, “ah, screw it,” because that’s how blogs generally work, isn’t it? Isn’t constant wittering about the same old points over and over ad […]

Newcastle 1-0 Wigan: Live Matchday Updates
Good day Latics fans. This afternoon, I shall be conducting a trial run of live Twitter updates for Newcastle United v Wigan Athletic, with a Latics bias of course. Well, what more did you expect? This isn’t the BBC, you know. Refer below for latest happenings in the buildup to/during matchday afternoon. The widget will […]

Wigan 1-3 Bolton: One step forward, three back
Hmm… how to dissect this one? Best to start with good news and build up to the disappointing parts, otherwise one might become too depressed to even hit the ‘read more’ link. Yep, positive points are always a good hook. Happily, the ‘preview‘ I posted two days ago transpired to be a tad erroneous: both […]

Love thy neighbour: Wigan v Bolton preview
Welcome back, Latic fanatics, to the weekly grind of domestic football. I sincerely hope you’ve had a good two weeks’ recuperation because you’re gonna need all your energy for this weekend’s absolutely massive north west derby. No, I’m not talking about that Liverpool-Man United TV programme thingy Sky seem to be promoting incessantly, because an […]

Aston Villa 2-0 Wigan: Bent and Agbonlahor punish impotent Latics
Villa completed a comfortable victory over Latics at Villa Park, Agbonlahor and Bent proving the difference between the two sides on the day. In direct comparison to Moses and Di Santo, there was no contest – at least in the way of goals which, after all, are what win you matches and ultimately keep you […]
