‘Wigan Is A Crappy, Cold, Dull Place’ – Mohamed Diame
By Chris Wright
In an interview with a French magazine, Wigan midfielder Mohamed Diame didn’t hold back in letting all-and-sundry know what he thinks about his current place of residence:
“The truth about life in Wigan is there is nothing to do. It is a crappy place.
“The town is tiny and there is no atmosphere. I go into training, I return home, and that is all I do.
“When it snowed I felt like it was minus 15, and feared I was going to turn into an ice cube.”
Diame then got started on the indigenous wildlife:
“It is rare to see truly beautiful girls when you go out during the day, but it’s a different story when you go out in the evening. The girls seem to cover themselves up all day, only to be in good-looking mode at night.
“In Madrid (Diame joined the Latics from Rayo Vallecano) I had the impression that all the women were beautiful.”
Get him on the tourist board pronto! That’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said about Wigan.

Wigan is a shithole, so, you know, he has a bit of a point. Crap Towns stalwart, Wigan.
Is it as bad as Luton? Surely not.
My family live there. I love my family, but, I avoid visiting at all costs. Why? Because every time I go, a little bit of my soul dies. I feel for Diame, Madrid to Wigan, Jeez…
Wigan is home to the annual World Pie Eating Championship
To be fair to Wigan they….do have a high diving board in their swimming baths?
@Logan, I guess that solves that then. I think the site has to change its’ name now.
