Wigan are battling for their Premier League lives, and while we were all set to roll out West Brom's James Morrison as our Funny Feeling Friday this weekend to complement our Lukaku choice from just a few weeks ago, it ... Continue reading →
Wigan's perennial 'great escape' means they are accustomed to their current proximity to the relegation zone, but Roberto Martinez's side are on a particularly poor run. Only one win in seven, at home to bottom club Reading, leaves them just outside the relegation zone. And with Aston Villa and QPR showing signs of improvement, Wigan need to start picking up points.
Sunderland 1-0 Wigan Athletic Premier League 29th September 2012
Once again, it was summer-signing Steven Fletcher who was Sunderland's goal-hero at the Stadium of Light on Saturday. The former Wolves man made it five goals in four Premier League games, scoring just after the break.
Arsenal 1-2 Wigan Athletic Premier League 16th April 2012
After beating league-leaders Manchester United last week, Roberto Martinez's men slayed another
Premier League giant on Monday night, courtesy of a superb 2-1 away win at the Emirates.
Franco Di Santo and Jordi Gomez scored a goal apiece in the opening eight minutes as Wigan
Athletic claimed a crucial 2-1 win at Arsenal to increase the distance between them and the
relegation zone.
Thomas Vermaelen pulled one back for the Gunners midway through the first half with a superb
header to beat Ali Al-Habsi but the hosts were not able to find an equalizer past the persistent
Latics defense.
Wigan Athletic Swansea City Premier League 3rd March 2012
A superb brace from on-loan Icelandic midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson hammered another nail into
Wigan's relegation coffin on Saturday at the DW Stadium, as the home side stumbled to yet another
damaging defeat.
After starting the season with their customary 4-3-3 formation, Wigan have now lined up in a
3-4-3 system ever since their 3-3 draw with Blackburn on November 19th. Roberto Martinez trialled
the system in a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa on October 1st, but then reverted back to his familiar
4-3-3 for their following game against Bolton.

Jordi Gomez claims Wigan will welcome Liverpool to the DW Stadium on Wednesday confident in their
ability to pull off another shock result.
The Latics impressed many observers on Saturday evening as they stunned Chelsea with a dramatic
late show on home soil.
Gomez's goal two minutes from the end of that contest saw Wigan take what could be a priceless
point from the title-chasing Blues.
Is this the worst hat ever? It might just be. This Wigan fans donned a festive hat, probably in
anticipation of a stuffing at the hands of Chelsea. But it wasn't to be as Jordi Gomez bagged a
late equaliser to secure a 1-1 draw for the Latics. Great news for Roberto Martinez, but not [...]
Some would call it robbery, a late Jordi Gomez goal denying Chelsea a fourth consecutive victory
on Saturday at the DW Stadium. However, robbery would imply that the visitors actually deserved to
win. That, my friends, was hardly the case.
Wigan Athletic 1-1 Chelsea Premier League 17th December 2011
After excellent wins against Valencia in the Champions League and Manchester City in the Premier
League, Chelsea were brought back down to earth with a bump at the DW Stadium against a Wigan side
who fully deserved a share of the points.
A pivotal trip to White Hart Lane is on the holiday horizon. Slow your roll, though. First, we
need to navigate this potentially tricky venture to Greater Manchester on Saturday.
Hey, it's Franco
On paper, away to Wigan doesn't appear to be too much trouble.
West Bromwich Albion 1-2 Wigan Athletic Premier League 10th December 2011
Roberto Martinez and his Wigan side made it seven points from their last four Premier League
games after coming from behind to win at the Hawthorns on Saturday.
Arsenal's Premier League resurgence continued as a comfortable 4-0 victory over Wigan at the DW
Stadium saw them move into fifth place in the table.
Mikel Arteta, Thomas Vermaelen, Gervinhoand, inevitably, Robin van Persie all found
themselves on the scoresheet as the Gunners registered a sixth victory in their past seven league
games to draw level with Newcastle United.

In case you missed it, Bobby Zamora auditioned for the upcoming remake of the "Everyone Was Kung-Fu Fighting" music video today in his match for Queens Park Rangers against Wigan Athletic. The problem was that Wigan's Jordi Gomez was in his way.
Zamora kicked Gomez in the head and was subsequently given a red card, leaving the R's down to ten men.
For the first time in their history, Wigan Athletic are heading to Wembley to play in the FA Cup semi-final after silencing Goodison Park by beating Everton 3-0. Joining Wigan will be Manchester City which thrashedBarnsley 5-0.
The story of the day was Roberto Martinez's Wigan side who upset the form-book with a terrific performance today.

Roberto Martinez and his plucky side will be absolutely ebullient following their thrilling come-from-behind 3-2 victory against Reading over the weekend.
However, even despite Jordi Gomez's tremendous hat-trick, it takes a lot more than confidence to take down undefeated champions Manchester City.

Despite witnessing more than a fair share of bore draws, Week 13 of the Premier League season didn't fail to impress in terms of overall entertainment.
West Brom maintained their charge on the top four of the English top flight with victory in Sunderland, while Southampton managed to climb out of the relegation zone for the first time in five weeks.
On their way to thrashing Forest at the City Ground on Tuesday night, Wigan bagged four goals,
with three of them quite superb. Forest also netted a magnificent goal themselves, courtesy of
Irish international Simon Cox, as they fell at the second round hurdle in the Capital One Cup.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that midfielder Mikel Arteta suffered more than just
an ankle sprain in the early minutes of the Gunners' 2-1 defeat at home to Wigan last night.
Arteta appeared to know right away that the injury was serious as he walked down the tunnel
moments after the incident.
Wigan Athletic 0-0 Liverpool: Reds slip up at the DW as Al Habsi stars
An action packed, end-to-end, game at The DW Stadium failed to provide any goals as Wigan
Athletic and Liverpool saw their game end in stalemate on Wednesday night. With the game just hours
away the Liverpool players issued a statement of support for teammate Luis Suarez, who had been
charged with racially abusing Manchester United full-back Patrice Evra, much to the bemusement of
those associated with the club.

Ali Al Habsi nearly cost Wigan two points with this clanger against Reading with his team leading 2-1, luckily for him Jordi Gomez completed his hat-trick deep into injury-time to grab the spoils at the DW Stadium.
This was Arsenal's 10th defeat in the league this season. Another win chalked away by a lower
league side. This time at home where we've only lost twice all season, one to the team that is
looking likely to lift the title and one at a time when we were in shambles. When we were supposed
to increase the gap between us and the other sides chasing the Champions League spots, we dropped
the ball.

December is here but Arsenal continued where they left off. Four goals victory at the DW
Stadium. Four different players added goals to their statistics for the season and we're now up to
just one place behind fourth spot (until Liverpool's match against Fulham tonight at least).
When we lost 2-1 against QPR a couple of weeks ago it was easy to throw around the C-word. No,
not the one that so wonderfully describes John Terry, but complacency. After last night's 2-1
defeat to Wigan it's C-word time again: this time, Consistency.
