Drugs, England Squads, Olympics and Money-making
 
Right ladies and gentlemen, i hear Adrian Mutu has to pay Chelsea millions of pounds because he was under the influence of drugs whilst he was at the club. This made me laugh. If he was on drugs then what the hell was Roman on when he chose to sack Jose’. News in Wigan is slow this week i’m afraid but Heskey has managed to grab a place in the England squad due to Ashton picking ...

I’ve got more points on my driving lisense
 
Soo, another opening day defeat, this time to the ’staamm of Cockneyland. The game finished 2-1 to the Happy Hammers but it showed that Wigan won’t lie down to any team. Dean Ashton had a decent first ten minutes; firstly turning Paul Scharner and slamming the ball into the net. Good goal. Minutes later it was 2 and it was only until the second half that Wigan really got into ...

The Real Titus Bramble
 
He is the laughing stock of the league. He makes mistakes which usually lead to goals. He has lapses of concentration from time to time and he is called all sorts of abusive names. Step forward, Titus Bramble. When he signed for Newcastle for £5 million in 2002, many thought he was a bright, upcoming future England international. After a torrid time in the North-East, in 2007 he was bought ...

You can make your own mind up about who goes where but heres my view on the matter.  ...

Match-debating everywhere
 
Right now its about just over a week until the new Premier league season starts, so thats about a just over a week of sanity left then. You see, on the 16th August the Sky Sports bandwagon will roll back onto our screens with phrases such as “its back bigger and better than ever before” and “all the football you’ll ever need.” Now, i appreciate that many of ...

Christ, get me some pills!
 
I’m going to stick my neck out here. Wigan are going to get into the European places in the coming season. Yes people, come May 2009 the final league table will show ‘little’ Wigan in the euro slots. Last season after Steve Bruce (he of the big fat head, as rival fans like to say) took over, Wigan finished 9th in the form table. No relegation battle there hey? Key ...

Da da da da daaaa, i ain’t lovin’ it
 
So, i’m contemplating assaulting one of my work collegues because we had a disagreement and earlier on i stabbed my burning cigarette into a friends eye because i felt like it. I feel like me and some friends need to dish out some knuckles on a member of the public as well as they stand outside a McDonalds restaurant. I can do this safe in the knowledge that my employer isn’t ...
