• In photos: Wigan Athletic 0-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers August 19th, 2009 Photos

  Sheesh, how frustrating football is. You beat Aston Villa away then go and lose to Wolves at home. Or, you lose at home to West Ham then go to an in-form Wigan and come away with three points. Funny. Old. Game. Anyway, terrific win for Wolves, reality check for Wigan and Roberto Martinez. Andy Keogh’s […]

• Cheer up Villa fans, Titus Bramble isn’t that bad July 2nd, 2009 Aston Villa

  The terrible rumour that Villa fans awoke to this morning claimed that Martin O’Neill is about to sign Titus Bramble. Reports in today’s Daily Star say that O’Neill will offer Wigan Athletic around £3.5m, plus teenage midfielder Barry Bannan for the much-maligned centre-back. As you might expect, plenty of Villa fans are not best pleased […]

• Will new Man Utd signing Antonio Valencia be an Old Trafford hero or a Fergie flop? July 1st, 2009 Man Utd

  Valencia is a good player with pace, skill and, crucially, solid Premier League experience at Wigan. And at 23, he’s younger than Cristiano Ronaldo, the man who he replaces – not directly - at United. But will Valencia turn out to be a Kanchelskis or a Kleberson? Check out some video evidence and vote after the […]

• Six Premier League players who faded badly in 2008/09 May 26th, 2009 Arsenal

  Who didn’t last the course? Deco (Chelsea) It all started as planned: Deco scored a screamer on his Chelsea debut, at home to Pompey in the August sunshine, but it was quickly downhill after that. The Ronnie Corbett-faced Brazilian has been unlucky with a string of niggling injuries, but in no way can he be […]

• Football fashion crimes: Paul Scharner’s red glasses August 26th, 2008 Kits & fashion

  Aside from the fact that his head and/or hair is a very odd shape, the most striking thing about Wigan Athletic’s Paul Scharner prior to watching his side lose against Chelsea was his Elton John hand-me-down specs.

• Dumb football: Paul Scharner’s minimum fee release clause August 4th, 2008 FAIL
  

  Paul Scharner is a fairly happy chappy. So happy, in fact, that he has just penned a new two-year deal at Wigan Athletic. But niggling away at the back of the big Austrian’s mind is the idea that there is something bigger out there for him: that there is more to life than popping up with the occasional goal for the Latics.

• Dumb Football: Steve Bruce has signed the No.1 striker in the world July 17th, 2008 FAIL

  Wigan sign FIFA’s top-rated striker. Who is he? Steve Bruce claims to have signed the best striker in the world, on loan for £1m.

  Arsenal – Artur Boruc
  Poland’s keeper was in top form during the competition and a move to a top four club could be enough to tempt him away from Celtic. The Gunners – with Jens Lehmann on his way out – could be interested.

• Premier League end-of-season report card – part 2 May 13th, 2008 Man City

  Like some wise old schoolmaster, Pies grades each Premier League team based on their 07/08 campaign. Here’s part two: Man City (9th) Started brilliantly, finished with a whimper. Overall though, Sven-Goran Eriksson did a good job of restoring pride to the sky-blue half of Manchester. A couple of his signings were notable successes – Elano […]

• Daily Vote – will Steve Bruce & Wigan Athletic go easy on Man Utd? May 6th, 2008 Man Utd

  Wigan boss urged by Chelsea to “really, really try” against United Seems that Sir Alex Ferguson has no shortage of go-to guys in a crisis. Alan Curbishley (lurking on the right of this photo) ordered his West Ham team to roll over and let United scratch their tummies – “Lads, me and Alex are in […]

• The 20 most valuable players in the Premier League February 4th, 2008 Arsenal

  Football is a team game, but it’s amazing how much of an effect one individual can have on his ten team-mates. Witness Jimmy Bullard’s match-winning performance for Fulham against Aston Villa at Craven Cottage yesterday afternoon. His return from a long-term injury has lifted everyone at the club; it’s no coincidence that Fulham struggled in Bullard’s absence.

• Liverpool 1-1 Wigan: Liverpool lack the genius to win the league this season, and Titus Bramble scores again! January 3rd, 2008 Liverpool

  
  Liverpool are a well-organised, powerful, athletic, talented team – but they don’t half play some dull football. I have no doubt that Rafa Benitez makes sure that his players eat the right shape of pasta, but football is about more than pure science. It’s about genius, it’s about inspiration, it’s about impossible-to-define moments of magic that win you games.

• Is Steve Bruce about to leave Birmingham for Wigan? November 14th, 2007 Transfers & Rumours

  Premier League strugglers Wigan are looking to get a Brucey bonus by tempting Birmingham manager, Steve Bruce, to rescue the club from relegation.
