Wigan 1 Coventry 0: Alternative match highlights
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. What about those *other* unique moments that are so often cruelly edited out of history? I know! Let’s write about them here… From the diary of a […]

Wigan 1-0 Coventry: Merry Caldwellmas
Gary was taken aback by what he saw in the mirror. Overnight, he had grown a thick, bushy beard so long it fused with his chest hairs. “Congratulations on completing your first year as manager,” came a mysterious voice that sounded an awful lot like Owen Coyle’s. “The beard is your present. Next year you […]

Hack From the Future: The Final Month
Oh, it was never once in doubt. When Wigan Athletic deservedly hit first place in Football League One, there wasn’t a single team powerful enough to wrestle them from their throne.

Shrewsbury 1-5 Wigan: Chuting for the title
Hi, sporks fans! I’m ZZZ-list celebrity Alf Hart, and you’re watching Guys’ Sporks News. They’ve parachuted me in at the last minute because their regular monotone ‘expert’ clearly ain’t photogenic enough in this super HD televisual age. In other words, he’s an ugly goit. …So, er, what’s this report about again? Fuzzball, you say? Ah, […]

Strange things cable network commentators say Vol. IX
*Names altered to protect identities. “Even though Team ST are trailing Team WA 4-1, there is always the chance there will be a repeat of Team WA’s dramatic concession of three late goals to Team SU two months ago. Because things like that happen every week in this league… I think. This is the first […]
