A dreary title for a dreary article, the word is often heard with quite whispers and sad faces and for the first time in eight years Wigan Athletic will not be in the Premier League. The defeat at Arsenal was the final nail in the coffin.
48 hours later and how are we all feeling? Personally shocked and on cloud nine, make up my current feeling surrounding the weekends win. The FA Cup Champions 2013, and we won the game in such away we deserved to be champions.
How things can change in four days. How the whole look of the world can change, and how the hell are we going to get out of this mess? That answer I don’t think we will ever get the answer to, as our chances of surviving out no longer in our own hand
It’s hard to concentrate on a performance and your result, when elsewhere things are conspiring against you. But for now it’s time to look at what was an excellent performance against a strong Spurs side.
A look back at the past two Premier League games, how the team performed, and what two morale crunching defeats could do to the team at this important time of the season. With only five games left for Wigan to play. Winning all of them may be importa
The ecstasy which was Wigan’s 2-0 over Millwall has yet to die down. All Wiganers are proud and are holding their heads high after their team’s magnificent win. It will be a game that lives long in the memory.
Was it a good point? Arguably yes, but it should have been all three for Latics. With QPR down to ten men after 20 minutes, Wigan should have pushed on and secured three massive points to securing their Premier League safety.
The weekend was brilliant for Latics. We winning and other teams starting to falter, so it couldn't go much better. We have yet to wait and see how QPR do tonight, but so far it is all going well.
Controversy surrounds the game from last weekend, and with us heading into an international weekend, that has fester a bit. I am not here though to talk about that Callum McManaman challenge.
We are going to Wembley!!!!
Games against Liverpool have been good for Wigan the past few seasons. Yet this year, we have lost both home and away matches conceding a total of seven goals without a reply. That is disappointing, which it is self-shows our progress for us to expec
Two weeks, two games and two wins; it has been a long time since I have had the opportunity to say that. Wigan though are on the up and while I have the chance I am going to bask in the glory of our cup success and climbing out of the bottom three in
Losing to Chelsea is something you have to expect when your a Latics fans. We may have done it once under Martinez but its a hard feat to do once, let alone twice. So is it good we played well for so long? Yes, then what is there to complain about?
Time has passed since the game against Southampton. But has the passing of time helped improved the look of the result. As teams around us won, pulling away from us or closing the gap. Yet we remain unbeaten against the teams down by the bottom?
After the drama of deadline day, isn't it nice to sit down and look back at the things we can, the weeks performances of the team. The game at Macclesfield as we rose to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
We hoped, as we always do. We expected something that is kind of new. Yet disappointment, well that comes with the territory. What went wrong? Was it Martinez tactics or selection? Did the cold weather aid the team from the north east? Or have Wigan
An away day draw in London followed up by a youth trip to the sea side coast Bournemouth where we secured Fourth Round FA Cup football. Is that a good week in the world of Wigan Athletic? Well we have had better.
The FA Cup third round, the most prestigious club cup competition in the world, and the best of rounds. The giants join in, and anything is possible where David could really beat Goliath. It has happened and continues to happen..
Its been a long time since I wrote one of these. Its been a long series of games, and we have come the other side of it and have three points for it. Not as good as we wanted, but at least it is better than nothing.
Yet another game were we had the upper hand coming into the important stages of the match, before the team gave away a silly goal and shut down allowing the home team (Norwich City) to win. So just why didn't this game go to plan?
Been a while since these two games, yet it is time for me to sit down with a warm cuppa (it is freezing!), and look back on two encounters which can see the stature of our side and great qualities which Roberto Martinez builds into our players.
Two games, two contrasting results and performances, the better performance you could argue saw us pick up no points. Yet while having more shots on goal saw us take all three, it just goes to show having a go at goal can pay off.
We feel we should have done better against Liverpool, that in itself shows how far we have come, to expect to beat one of England's and even Europe's top teams. But now we have to ask ourselves why we didn't get something from the game.
What went wrong against this season high flyers, who I suspect could give Chelsea a run for their money this weekend. Although Latics controlled the game, the Baggies went home with all three points, after a strong away performance.
Two back to back leagues sounds really good, but contrast that against a League cup exit at the hands of League Two Bradford our week, could have been better. Yet there are a lot of positives to take from what could be a pivotal seven days in our Pre
A late after thoughts this week, mainly because there is a lot to chew over, and also I have been rather busy. Yet whatever the reason, the write up about last weekends game will still read the same, not good enough.
