During my usual Saturday morning trawl through the tabloids (well, tabloid – have you seen the price of them these days?), I was surprised to encounter a full page spread on the ‘odd couple’ Kone and Di Santo. Well, it was as near as you can get to a ‘full page’ article in the Daily…
By now, you know exactly what I think of Tuesday night‘s Halloween fancy dress party, so we shall move on. It has been two days, after all. Next up in the Premier League is the ghastly prospect of Tottenham Hotspur, and this week’s PWU Podcast preview comes live from a mizzly Dee Dubya. Witch team…
I didn’t want to mention the Notts County game for fear of tempting fate, but I guess now it’s all over I can reference said tie as much as I like. I won’t, though, because I will only end up repeating myself. You know those days where nothing goes right? Where every shot goes inches…
Following last week’s somewhat disappointing Swansea game, I commented that Wigan’s performances this season have either been outstandingly clinical or atrociously inadequate. Another defeat had pushed the Latics bandwagon just that bit closer to edge of a steep, craggy cliff that, should said vehicle topple off, would undoubtedly take until February or March for any…
This week, the PWU Podcast team bring you a special ‘attempting not to tempt fate‘ edition. As you may know, the happy Hammers are in town this weekend, and will no doubt be intent on exacting revenge for the consequences of our last league meeting. Then, before we’ll have had time to even catch our…
International breaks suck. The lack of Latics action over the past two weeks has forced me to watch videos of cats falling off worktops and attempting to open doors rather than highlights from our most recent game. The only alternative was witnessing yet more rain fall on an already waterlogged Polish pitch and, well, I…
Lacklustre international performances got you down? Never fear, for the 13th edition of the PWU Podcast –complete with yours truly– is back to preview the next chunk of the domestic season. Sort of. You see, we didn’t want to harp on about the injury woes of an international break because that’s been more than covered…
I could be cruel and fill this description with cheap wedding-related puns but poor Gareth has received enough stick about that already. Besides, if you plan to listen to this week’s rather engaging PWU Podcast, there’ll be enough wedding chat to put you off getting married for life. Or at least during the football season….
Only a handful of games into the season and already it was getting a bit testy. A run of defeats generally has that effect on the atmosphere at a club, whether at the front or back end of a Premier League campaign. Now was not the time to panic, however, for the bitter memory of…
After a ‘brief sojourn’, the Yak (AKA that annoying bloke from JWAW) was back to join the lads at the PWU Podcast for its 11th edition last night. As one might expect, Sunderland was the main talking point, though time was taken to pontificate over recent FA decision-making with regards to Latics. Oh yes, and…
A Jordi Gomez sending off quickly followed by Steven Fletcher’s strike edged a relatively close contest in Sunderland’s favour. The Spaniard’s 48th minute red card ultimately cost Wigan a real chance of victory, but resolute defending from the home side ensured the ten men of Wigan went away from the Stadium of Light empty handed….
For your delectation and delight, the latest episode of the fantastic Progress With Unity Podcast is now available to sample. Sadly I’m not in this one, so you’ll just have to pretend there’s some guy constantly chuckling and making inadvisable ‘jokes’. 😉 Or not, because it’s all the better for it. I like to stick…
