Scoffy and Phoenix to run marathon
Wigan Athletic fan Ian Schofield has been training for the 26 mile run in London for a while now and with a couple of weeks to race day he has managed to team up with Latic mascot Phoenix to keep him company.
What a Difference a Bad Referee Makes
Not too long ago, Jayt wrote an article praising the performance of our referee, Lee Mason, against Liverpool. That sets me up rather nicely then, to slag off the referee Mike Jones and one of his assistants, Dave Bryan following a pathetic performance at Stamford Bridge.
17, 040 and rising
How many of you thought this was going to be another ‘Wigan Athletic crowd’ piece? No this is the tremendous amount of money that has been collected so far from the Walk for Emma event that took place ehead of our game against Bolton, it was of course in aid of the Emma Hoolin Appeal.
Now, We Start Playing
It appears to be a recurring trend in our Premier League years that Latics only start playing when it gets to the ‘now or never’ stage, with the exception of 2005/06 and 2008/09 when we had the relative security of mid-table of course.
We’re in this together
The latest fans gathering at the DW stadium for an audience with Roberto Martinez took place on Thursday. The forum was called by the Latics manager himself to give him an opportunity to thank on behalf of the playing staff the fans for the fabulous support they extended to the players by greeting them outside the stadium prior to the recent home game with West Bromwich Albion.
Jordi Gomez to stay on for two more years

What a difference a referee makes
Shows what happens when Wigan Athletic get a decent referee…. In all these years we have been in the top flight, that has got to be the best refereeing performance I have seen, especially so given that he was in front of 40,000 (I nearly said screaming then, but it was more like a church with roudy Wiganers in there) Scousers.
Pray to Caldwell
About once every season, us lot as Wigan Athletic are treated to a miracle (or something similar), thanks to goings on at Anfield on Saturday, we weren’t starved of our feast of the five hundred this campaign either.
United As One
Following a surreal and extraordinary weekend in football, supporters have put competition and rivalry to one side in order to unite as one in support of Fabrice Muamba.
