Quite simply a gem of a TV series - it's far far more than any summary can give even yours (I'm fairly sure the film version proves this, but I'm guessing ChatGPT could shit on it even further ;-)

Lovely sunset over the West and North standstill at Wigan's Brick community stadium.

Lovely sunset over the West and North standstill at Wigan's Brick community stadium.

Hmm, crusing to a straight forward win until the ref (and eventually Mullin) decided to made the trip to the Brick well worth the money today - fair play to um, I was defo brickin it during the pen shootout πŸ‘€πŸ˜±πŸ˜‚ #wafc

Off to Wigan and footy this afternoon, this morning Youtube threw this wonderful BBC doc (from before I was born) into my recommendations - it's of some of the oldest looking teenagers I've ever seen πŸ˜€ www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aUa...

Missed Kerr far more than I expected (hoped!) today. Need a response to today's poor defensive performance

Matt Smith, his introduction turned the game around yesterday. Special mention for Saydee though, he made me laugh a few times in the second half - reckon there's some sore defenders knocking about Stockport this morning πŸ˜€

The proverbial game of two halves. I reckon if you pushed in front of Saydee in the pie queue you'd probably clear the parish church he'd lob you that far - beast of a man in that second half! #wafc

Two home wins on the bounce ... WTF is happening?!!? πŸ‘€πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Gotta be said today was a cracking day out; lovely day, lovely football, cracking goals and a wonderful result. Living the #wafc dream πŸ˜‰

We're definitely winning the league this year πŸ‘€πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Stupid new season optimism aside #wafc do seem to carry more goal threat than last season already, which really shouldn't be surprising considering last season! πŸ˜‰

Good three points again for #wafc. Enjoyed the first half, endured the second, got piss wet through walking home ... football, eh!? 😱😱😱

LOL ... I enjoyed the first half but the second was proper 'please blow now ref' stuff as I genuinely thought neither side would score if we played until next Saturday πŸ˜‚

Cracking point and fairly easily earned; #wafc were solid, they never really threatened us and we were all over them men at times IMHO. More quality in the box (weekly dΓ©jΓ  vu!) and I reckon we'd have taken all three.

Disappointed not to take 4 points from them men this season, have to settle for 3 a piece. Didn't think they deserved 3 tonight TBH and certainly not sure how #wafc got 6 yellows and they got none πŸ‘€πŸ˜±πŸ˜‰

Decent free kick from them men saw them take the lead - I will obviously whinge about the obvious injustice πŸ‘€πŸ˜‰ - and a deserved and cracking equaliser from #wafc. Mind you the actual game took a bit of a back seat today TBH

Thought tonight was a comfortable deserved victory - ie no hanging on and praying for the whistle πŸ˜‚ - that said it was because we managed to score two at home in the first half without reply. To my mind we have not done that any where near enough (if at all) this season.

Excellent and deserved three points tonight for #wafc. Cracking first half and TBH fairly easy second; even with Huddersfield pulling one back I never felt the tics were gonna give up that win tonight. Excellent performance IMO

In fairness at home we have put in some real grim performances only some of which were down to our lack of finishing quality so yeah I do expect a few took a look at the weather, the prospects of good night and said, nah, I'll give it a miss (or stay in the pub πŸ˜€).

That's a presumptuous link IMHO and defo so in my case, I can't attend attend tonight but it certainly isn't because Maloney is manager, I'll be more than happy if he stays in summer. Regardless of who's here we need to stump up for a decent striker.
