At risk of relegation Wigan welcome at risk of promotion Town.
~~~
The club hired Gary Caldwell on 16th Feb for his 2nd term as head coach.
I don't think he'll be getting them up to the Championship like he did last time. Not this season, anyway.

Last match (highlights on YouTube) was a 1-1 draw at home with Murray Wallace scoring.

Prematch preamble from Liam Manning and Lee Connell.

Club connections
The coaching staff includes Frank Bunn, Harry's dad.
Joe Taylor is there on loan as you know.
Joseph Hungbo now plays for them as does Jack Hunt (him again), who recently signed.
Lee Connell (or Nicholls as you like to call him) started at Wigan way back when.
~~~
Joe Taylor won't be available due to loan status and it's a good job, too, as he's banging them in. He scored two on Saturday v Stockport.
Two others unavailable are Steven Sessagnon and Maleace Asamoah, both of which were sent off v Stockport; 2nd yellow and straight red, respectively.

Fancy a snack?
Try the Wigan Kebab aka pie barm. That's what they call a teacake, you know. 

You can add chips, peas, and gravy, if you like.

What's the most disgusting thing you've ever eaten?

Most disgusting thing I've ever eaten?

Gotta be pork scratchings innit

Nice one AmChaff.

When I first moved to Wolvo, (nearly) all the chippies had been taken over by Greasy Greeks, and whatever they cooked fish and chips in you could taste it for days after. Veg oil of some description? Might as well have been 20W50 Engine Oil. Try to get a fish or a chip butty down here? Nearest you could get was a pita. They still don't really do baps/tea cakes/barms (wherever you are from) or even normal sliced bread in the chippies round here.

Thankfully the Greeks have mostly gone on to other things (back in Greece seemingly, not many plate smashing partys on a Friday night anymore either) and most chippy owners now cook 'em in the proper stuff. Though there's a few do battered chips. Why? The fish is already battered, but at least they aren't Mars Bars, and some cook chips a funny colour too. I believe that last fad started in West Brom. 'Nuff sed.

About 90% of the country's pork scratchings are made in the Black Country. It's no wonder you can't get a dentists appointment down here. Best things ever for breaking teeth and cracking fillings.

There was another Yorksha League fixture on Tuesday when Sadfud beat The Millers 1-0.

Mine is refried beans. They're were like sick. Most upsetting was horsemeat. My French exchange lied about what it was.

---

Pease pudding is disgusting. I once was served congealed mushy peas. There's a theme here. Don't mess with my beans and the like!

Slurry on sandwiches.

That is things like coleslaw, potato salad and lots more.

[Amelia Chaffinch]

Ritchie, a friend of mine always calls those things "muckment".

[theo_luddite]

I'd rather have a banana and plain crisp butty anyday.
Coleslaw at the side of your plate with a salad is fine, in a butty? Just wrong. Plain wrong.
Anyone doing that should be transported to Botany Bay on the next slowest ship available and made to row the whole way so they don't get near the galley.

Sounds absolutely terrible this.
