Theme Week - Wigan Athletic

[pauadrian]

Oh man, I would love to get into so many things I love but if there is only one thing I could talk about for days and days. It would have to absolutely be my love for my football club Wigan Athletic who currently reside in League 1 of the English football pyramid which is tier 3. I started supporting this football club in the late 2000s, specifically in 2010 so I guess you could say that it would be very early 2010s. We were in the Barclays Premier League and it was honestly love at first sight, except not really since it started out as a meme of me supporting the worst team in the league. But somehow, some way despite being bottom of the barrel, last place in the table we survived and that is when my love for them truly started. Getting to watch players like Victor Moses, Nick Powell, Ben Watson, James Mcarthur, James Mccaarthy and Ali Al Habsi over the years has been great. Just seeing future stars develop at your own club and helping before moving on to greener pastures and helping the club financially as well. I have been through it all, from relegation battles in the Premier League against giants like Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal. To winning the FA Cup against all odds and yet getting relegated to the championship. Seeing us get to Europa League football while in the championship was so funny. What was not so funny have been the recent turmoil our club has suffered though which financial troubles from terrible owners and seeing prospects leave for pennies and scraps while trying to claw for survival. Thankfully it looks like we are back to normal and we can let good times roll and we can hopefully get promoted from L1. Let's hope me and my love can get back to the top soon
