    South American internationals in the pipeline for Roberto

    A source close to the club is reporting the possible capture of two young South American internationals during the forthcoming transfer window, with Colombian Jackson Martinez and Honduran Johnny Palacios, brother of Wilson, supposedly in talks with the club. According to VitalLatics, Martinez, full name Jackson Arley Martínez Valencia, was in Wigan this Monday with […]

    Figueroa fig-a-rolling on to Sunderland?

    It’s being reported once again in this morning’s press that former Latics gaffer Steve Bruce wants Maynor Figueroa to follow him to Sunderland. The whole thing is certainly no secret, as Bruce has been trying to nab the Honduran for a good few months; since he left for the Black Cats, in fact. Bruce, who […]

  • Effects of MOTD2 farce much worse than originally thought

    Effects of MOTD2 farce much worse than originally thought

    The media have once again turned the club into a laughing stock. Sure, Latics fans know full well that this weekend’s Fulham contest had the club’s single best home attendance of the season (80% of all seats sold out – not bad for a non-Saturday match against a London club) and the number of Wigan […]

    Attendance vs Fulham: Official club statement

    Wigan have released an official statement thanking Latics’ fans for their support during Sunday’s match against Fulham. This comes less than 24 hours after the BBC’s slightly dubious editing on their Match of the Day 2 programme, which some claim portrayed Wigan Athletic fans in a negative light. It is unknown whether the two are […]

    An official complaint to the BBC regarding Match of the Day 2

    I’m not usually one to complain (at least not officially), but regarding the BBC’s coverage of yesterday’s Wigan-Fulham match I thought “why the heck not?” It couldn’t hurt, could it? Well, at least I’ve never heard of anybody being tracked down and beaten by Huw Edwards with a leather belt as a result of a […]

    Wigan 1–1 Fulham: A Remembrance Day to forget?

    150-odd hardy souls that made the 200-mile trip north from London to Little Wigan were rewarded with a point, thanks largely to a fine show by goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer who made a string of excellent saves to keep his team in the game. After being brutally treated by officials on Thursday in their Europa League […]

    Big Match Preview: Wigan v Fulham

    It feels weird waking up on the Saturday morning knowing you aren’t playing that day. Perhaps you’re out of the FA Cup in one of the early rounds or your match has been switched to a Sunday due to a European fixture — as is the case with this weekend’s Wigan v Fulham game — […]

    See you in the Springfield Stand on Sunday

    It’s been officially known as the Springfield Stand since the start of this season, but Sunday’s game will be the first time Latics play with the West Stand properly labelled as such. Yes, an ounce of tradition has finally seeped into the club, thanks to lengthy campaigning by supporters. At the end of July, officials […]
