Wigan’s owner, Dave Whelan, knows the stench of a bad deal when he smells it, and Newcastle’s current asking price for the club is a real stinker. With the club claiming to have multiple contenders waiting and willing to buy the club, neither the names nor the figures have been shared with the public. Could […]

What a fantastic performance by the home team at the Emirates on Wednesday evening, as they put the Latics to the sword 3-0. Many had thought that Wigan would provide a stern challenge to Arsenal’s young team, although they followed up their 6-0 win against Sheffield United in the previous round with a splendid win […]

Aston Villa already have Gabby Agbonlahor and John Carew up front wreaking havoc on opposing defences, but if Martin Laursen has his way, the club could do with adding this striker to their squad for the second half push.

Steve Bruce is probably still stewing over his recent loss to Liverpool, but you have to figure he’s smiling inside when he thinks of the clinic Amr Zaki put on for the Anfield faithful. He’s hoping to keep that class and skill at the JJB for a long time to come!

As we all know, Liverpool went on to win the match 3-2, and while Rafael Benitez denied that the dismissal changed the match, […]

The S*n brings us news of Liverpool manager Rafa B’s shrill whining over the fact that the one player he cannot do without - Fernando T - could well be injured.

Wigan boss Steve Bruce has a lot of explaining to do after this bit of news came out about a potential “good-guy” deal between his club and Manchester United. We knew Sir Alex and Bruce were close, but this is a bit much!

It’s nearly a year since Steve Bruce left St Andrews for the JJB Stadium, yet the bad blood between the Wigan manager and Birmingham board shows no sign of disappearing. It was an acrimonious split back in November, especially with the ex-Man United defender forced to give his old club some money after a dispute […]

Though Tottenham Hotspur are desperate for a quick fix to their striking problems, Steve Bruce isn’t sympathetic. Though 30-year-old Emile Heskey has been linked in the press with a £10 million move to White Hart Lane, the Daily Mail reports that Wigan will refute any offer for the England striker.
