PROGRAMMED TO FAIL

Wigan eased the pressure on Roberto Martinez by beating West Ham on Saturday, but any fan reading the match programme beforehand would have felt the kind of warm glow normally associated with the town's famous delicacy Uncle Joe's Mintballs.

The matchday mag quelled any panic by listing Athletic's 4-1 defeat at Blackpool and their 2-1 loss at Everton as wins.

So that's three victories on the bounce for Wigan then in a stunning revision of history. Maybe the local sweets should be renamed Uncle Joe Stalin's Mintballs.
