PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 154: A loan in the dark
I’m sorry, I can’t view this transfer window as anything but a dismal failure. Because Big GC opted not to launch bids for Gary Dicker, Rod Fanni and David Goodwillie, small time internet weblogs will be forced to recycle the same Max Power memes posted in early August! Good job everybody has forgotten about them […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 153: Queer as fork
Fans of matchday minutiae, get a load of this! Stade Deedub has hosted its FAB-tastic (mostly) bi-monthly meeting to discuss pies, beer and plastic forks (thanks to the All Gone Latics fanzine for that one). And we’ve set aside time on Progress With Unity to talk about… well, talking about Wigan Athletic FC. How very […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 152: Riddle-me-Crewe
In League One, 3-0 can be a dangerous lead. The disconcerting silence following Michael Jacobs’ corker against Chesterfield is proof that you require a four goal cushion to be anywhere near comeback safe. “C’mon, we need at least one more,” cried anxious East Standers wary of United-esque fightbacks. (Sheffield United, that is.) An obvious solution […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 151: FA Muckup
Ahh, the nostalgic delight of FA Cup Third Round weekend. You might think Latics’ absence at this particular stage would remove some of the oft-cited ‘magic’ from Britain’s most prestigious cup competition. But no – for once, you could witness Jeff Stalling’s Sky Sports Snooze Breakdown with blissful comfort, safe in the knowledge that your […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 150: Panicked wild shots
Room for another celebration? Good! Then rummage through the pantry and fetch that box of out of date Jacob’s biscuits you forgot all about, because Progress With Unity has notched up its (unofficial) ton-50. Here at PWU, every Wednesday is Christmas Day… but that’s only because our digital clock is stuck at 00:00 on 25 […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 149: The Right Trousers
It’s the event you’ve been waiting 365 days for! Yes, now Progress With Unity’s seasonal Q&A is finally here, you can officially settle down with some eggnog and enjoy an Alternative Alternative Christmas Message delivered in semi-inebriated fashion by Bazza, Statman and that one guy who will be marrying Grant Holt next month. And at […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 148: Hypnotic suggestion
All of a sudden, I know exactly what that Derren Brown bloke is talking about. The power of suggestion is all around us at this time of year. As I stared at the waist-high pile of Jacob’s boxes hidden in a dark corner of my sizeable drinks cabinet, I suddenly realised why I thought to […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 147: Maximum Power
Neil Robertson, what a guy! On becoming the first player to make a maximum break in the UK Championship Final, he dedicated his achievement to 147 editions of the Progress With Unity Podcast. We don’t have the heart to tell him my numbering system is flawed and that there have actually been 176 episodes if […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 146: Fifty Shades of Pink
Why hello, darlings! I’m just preparing my house for the John Stones Paint makeover team, who will soon be paying a visit to JWAW Towers for a faaaab-ulous spot of DIT. I won’t have to lift a finger as they do it themselves, picking the hamster hairs from my plug holes and repainting the man-sized […]
