Oman 0 Wigan Athletic 1
Cockney Latic had their very own Mighty_Aff seeing Wigan Athletic play at the Seeb Stadium in Oman tonight, Here is an account of somebody who didn’t think in a million years he would get to see Latics play over there.
Is Bolton win the spark?
Wigan Athletic showed yet again that they are more than capable of competing in this league by mauling Bolton at the Reebok Stadium.
What on Earth Happened to Common Sense?
After watching the petulant events of another tedious high profile incident this weekend, is it just me that’s left questioning where the common sense escaped to in modern day football?
Oman what an honour for keeper
Ali Al Habsi has praised Wigan Athletic for arranging the first ever visit of an English team to his home country of Oman, it says it is a great honour. Latics are now a big name over there due to their number one playing for us and our games are showed on a regular basis…. lets hope we give them a bit more to cheer about over the next 14 or so games.
Bolton ticket near sell out – here are the options on how to get yours
Bolton Wanderers v Wigan Athletic this Saturday will definitely be the biggest following of the season so far by Latics supporters as a sell out nears by us. So due to the fact that BWFC are not saying whether further tickets will be on sale on the day, it is advised that fans purchase first.
Two Footed Challenges, Howard Webb, Jean Beasejour and Everything In Between
Since my last installment of Premier League news here, it’s became apparent that referees are incredibly paranoid about ‘two-footed challenges’; Wigan can only score jammy goals; you can never underestimate Howard Webb’s Man United bias and Harry Redknapp’s dog is called Rosie.
DW Packed to the rafters
Fans need to take a look at this fantastic offer from the club and ensure that the DW is packed to the rafters for a game that could shape Wigan Athletic’s run in and future.
At Least We Can Save Penalties
With Wigan seemingly unable to win at the moment, it seemed a rather bad time for a basement battle with Queens Park Rangers. The more I thought about the fixture, the more I considered it a must win. The more I think about the defeat now, the more I think we’re doomed.
Supporters Club Annual Dinner with Larry Lloyd – rearranged
The Wigan Athletic Supporters Club Annual inner was originally arranged for February 17th, but has now been moved to April 27th and costs just £10 for great evening of entertainment based around better times when we won the second division 30 years ago.
Electronic Arts needs Latics fans help
EA Sports are profiling for new game software and the want to make sure they have all the information needed for Wigan Athletic. Are you the one to lead them in the right direction??
Cockney Latics walker prize
As has been well publicised, Wigan Athletic fans a right behind the Emma Hoolin appeal and as the Walk for Emma event approaches we can announce that Cockney Latic users/readers/posters can win a terrific prize whilst raising money for a great cause.
Two New Centre Halves Please Mr Whelan
There was a time when Man City considered Wigan Athletic as a ‘bogey team’. And rightly so, yet since their vast injection of cash, their perception of us has changed to a more common view: ‘that pathetic little club that we should be beating 8-0’. That’s fair enough I suppose.
View From The Lightside
Following on from Cockney Latic’s first article by the anti-Martinez brigade – albeit a recently converted one, and the forum melt-down that has been happening since the Swindon defeat, I thought it an apt time to defend the Martinez / Club cause.
Doing the Walk – Wigan Athletic style
February 11th is getting ever closer and Wigan Athletic fans from across the borough will walking their way to the Reebok Stadium for a good cause, the Emma Hoolin Appeal. Just as a quick reminder of what this walk entails and how you can help out, below are the details.
Up For the Cup, Downed by Di Canio
The FA Cup third round is a momentous date in the footballing calendar, an occasion where literally anything can happen and the generic cup cliché book is dusted down and brought out for another year. Appropriately, Wigan fell in the clash between David and Goliath in a banana skin tie which was a game of two halves (both of which Swindon were the better side).
Football Hooliganism at all time low????
New figures just released show that arrests are nearly ten per cent down and less banning orders have been given. Wigan Athletic fans have been amongst the best behaved and overall bad behaviour is down, maybe the police would like to start treating some fans like human beings now rather than cattle.
The Rise of the Underdog
An article titled like this one would usually be incredibly good news for Wigan Athletic, with the exceptions of the FA Cup third round and the world famous competition of the world’s smallest fan base of course.
Have a great New Year, thanks to you all
2012 is nearly here and we want to wish you all a very Happy New Year and hope it brings all that you ask for. Cockney Latic once again want to thank you for your support, without you it would be pointless running the number Wigan Athletic fanzine site.
Can we have some goals back??
No, I didn’t think so!!!!! Do we get an apology from Phil Dowd?? I won’t hold my breath!!!! Wigan Athletic at least got justice of the FA (like they could do anything else), but will we get a chance to see what the real outcome of the game would have been….no.
Is there is something fishy going on at the FA????
As the world saw on Saturday, referees can get decisions very wrong and Phil Dowd must have been cringing when he saw the replays of what he sent Conor Sammon off for at Old Trafford. But will little Wigan Athletic get justice?
