I hate playing Everton. Two games this season = two games which we have lost by goals right at the death when we should have won. Well, let's put that behind us now because our new signing Victor Moses will lead us into the promised land of...erm....mid table safety.

Don't worry ! Don't panic ! Whisper it in hushed tones, things aren't as bad as they seem ! I know you think I may be going mad, but i'm telling you - everythings going to be ok. Ok, we have definitely played better in the last few seasons but I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. As the comedic genius Gerrard Houllier would say: "We've turned the corner"

Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has again questioned Steve Bruce's transfer record at the club as Roberto Martinez looks to make further changes in January.

Earlier in the season, Whelan claimed Bruce had made "a few dodgy signings" during his time at Wigan. Bruce suggested Whelan was "trying to take the heat off his manager" and said he would be happy to sign Hugo Rodallega and Charles N'Zogbia if they were the players in question.

The holiday season is finally over so now we can finally concentrate on our beloved game with no distractions to take hold of us - or rather we will when the country has stopped grinding to a halt because of a few centimetres of snow.....but enough of my soap box politics ! So, whats in store for Wigan this year ? Will things start to pick up or will we get sucked into a relegation dogfight ?

Thre was reports this week that Wigan have hired a snow plough in order to beat the freeze at the DW stadium. Please God, let that not be the only arrival for us this Winter !

Here we go again. We couldn't possibly have followed up last weeks victory over Sunderland with a result against Birmingham could we ? The shining light that surrounded Martinez when he joined in the summer has certainly dulled. Hopefully the man can start to sort this out.

Ok, so I know we've been inconsistent but it's getting a bit silly now ! Our last three results have been a 1-1 draw, a 9-1 defeat and a 1-0 win. We seem to be having more mood swings then a teenage girl.....

Wigan Athletic's playing staff have offered to reimburse the entrance fees for all supporters who travelled to White Hart Lane to witness their 9-1 destruction at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Spurs equalled the record for goals scored in a Premier League game when producing a ruthless second-half performance, with Jermain Defoe scoring five goals to equal the record jointly held by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer.

Not a good couple of weeks. The Marlon King stuff was bad enough but add to that a thumping at the hands of everyones relegation favourites Portsmouth and a draw against Fulham - two games which were very winnable - and I don't think thats what Wigan fans had in mind ideally for on or off the pitch business. Where is it going wrong ?

I've had loads of Managerial heroes as a kid, but to be honest not many of them have had the hotseat here at Wigan. Yes I admired Bruce and Jewell most recently but I've started to think that Martinez is going to out do both of them.....Let me explain....
