Progress With Unity Podcast No. 10: Sunderland preview, Fulham & West Ham review
For your delectation and delight, the latest episode of the fantastic Progress With Unity Podcast is now available to sample. Sadly I’m not in this one, so you’ll just have to pretend there’s some guy constantly chuckling and making inadvisable ‘jokes’. 😉 Or not, because it’s all the better for it. I like to stick […]

Wigan 1-2 Fulham: Rodders returns
It’s somewhat surprising to me that historically, Fulham at home hasn’t been a fruitful fixture for the mighty (though sometimes scrawny) Wigan Athletic. You see, usually we bear a grudge against teams we just haven’t been able to beat – Manchester United (of course), West Ham, Preston and so on. Ah, a statistical goldmine, that […]

Progress With Unity Podcast No. 9: United review, Fulham preview and Hendry Thomas
Once again I joined the lads at PWU for a chat about all things Latics this past week. On the menu for this ninth edition: thoughts on that awful second half at Old Trafford, a returning Hugo Rodallega and MLS ‘superstar’ Hendry Thomas. Give it a listen to see what else we wittered on about… […]

Fulham 2-1 Wigan: Industrious Cottagers leave it late
Wigan saw their cushion to the relegation zone cut to just three points as Philippe Senderos headed the Cottagers to an 89th minute victory over a labouring Latics. After a cagey first half, the hosts dominated proceedings and finished the game great value for their three points. Although Emmerson Boyce had put the visitors ahead […]

Karma rebalancing: Better times just around the corner
In this article, one shall refrain from dwelling too long on the negative aspects of this weekend’s demoralising defeat at the hands of Fulham (or, as that old football game used to call them, ‘Emptypig’). Instead, it is the purpose of today’s post to convince the Latics fan that it isn’t all as bad as […]

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 Fulham (15 January 2011) photos
It was nice to actually be able to get to a game for a change, to sample the (very tense) atmosphere of the DW once more after a string of working Saturdays. The old camera, complete with new batteries, was brought out once more for some pre-game snaps from a decent viewpoint in the East […]

Wigan 1-1 Fulham, again
It may have been a draw, but it certainly wasn’t a bore. Much like last season’s equivalent clash, neither team could claim to be at their best, but this bottom-of-the-table clash produced a relatively open game, at least in the second half. Though tentative early on, things began to pick up around 20 minutes in […]

Fulham 2-0 Wigan: Scary stuff
In the interests of keeping you awake long enough to even make it as far as the second paragraph, I’m going to start off by ‘doing a Bob’ and attempting to stick to the positives that came out of today’s game. Nnnngh… well, I think that would actually be nigh on impossible, because this really […]
