PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 162: Old tech is the best tech
Right, that settles it. From this day forward I am switching JWAW from a small time internet weblog to an… even smaller time printed memo service. Nope, I’ve made up my mind! Having witnessed first hand how successful Gary Caldwell’s paper notes system can be, I am certain that a little piece of paper, not […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 161: Eggroller derby
Why is it that Walsall don’t play at all over Easter weekend? You’d think they might have one game at least, but their next scheduled game is against Sheffield United on 2 April. Are they entering an egg rolling competition… or maybe an egg roll competition on The Great British Egg-Off? Perhaps they’re going to […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 160: Fit in or blast off
Question: How long does it take to get to Mars? Answer: After a low scoring draw with Bradford, a thumping victory over Swindon, a last minute winner against Rochdale, a boring 0-0 with Coventry, a gutbusting thriller at the Pirelli Stadium, a premature promotion party at Blackpool and a tense final day win to secure […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 159: Blame and misfortune
Apparently, last Friday wasn’t the 13th of March… but you could have fooled me. When Mike Pollitt steered his SUV into a poorly-placed brick wall, he set in motion a chain of events that rippled through the Latics goalkeeping staff, and eventually the whole team. Tactical switches became difficult to acclimatise to, before you knew […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 158: Quantum Leap
We would like to wish goalkeeping coach Mike Pollitt a very Happy 11th Birthday for 29th February. Since such occasions only arrive every four years, it is an event to be celebrated… with a thumping 3-0 victory over the Farnworth Flyer’s former side. Oh, didn’t you know? Polly was benchwarmer for the Saddlers at the […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 157: Don’t look up
We shouldn’t really talk about the FA Cup, seeing as Wigan are no longer part of this year’s competition. But I can’t resist – the nostalgic lure of summer 2013 looms large in my nostrils like the fragrant aroma of fresh pigeon droppings. Hey, it reminds me of Haigh Hall, okay? Observers of Man City’s […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 156: Juicy J
He’s the only Latics player cool enough for not one, but three heavy metal umlauts. Jussi Albert Jääskeläinen, whose name I certainly did not cut and paste from Wikipedia just now, is still bumpin’ and thumpin’ at the ripe old age of 21 plus 19. You never would have thought it ten years ago, but […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 155: Beach Hill
Experts claim February is the most depressing month of the year, at least for a certain sports surface outside Wigan town centre. But while there’s still a remote chance of greeting March as league leaders, the Robin Park beach will be eternally bathed in watery sunshine. I can already hear the chimes of Whelan brand […]

All Gone Latics Media Podcast 01 – Rotten pitches and rotten teeth
It’s not the PWU Podcast. But it is a Latics podcast, and it is long and meandering. This pilot episode was recorded on Tuesday night, before it was announced that the DW surface would be relaid ahead of the Oldham game. In Football Land, everything is past its sell by date before it has even […]

PWU Podcast Extra: Wigan Athletic U18 vs Man City U18
You’re just wondering what happened to this week’s From The Terrace reports, aren’t you? I know as much because I have the power of hypnotic suggestion. Look deep into my eyes and repeat after me: “I will download every episode of the Progress With Unity Podcast that has ever been made.” Feel free to start […]
