Just when you thought that the new owners of Blackburn Rovers, the Venky's, couldn't stoop to any new lows, they've done it again. This time it's with an absolutely embarrassing video of their players promoting chicken. The video is so bad that it looks like something you would expect NASL footballers from the late 70s […]

Wigan Athletic today unveiled their home shirt for the 2011-12 Premier League season. I'm in two minds regarding the design.
