Wigan 1-3 Bournemouth: Small mercies
Wahey, thank goodness for that! Now the darned transfer window is firmly sealed with the strongest of industrial superglue, Wigan Athletic’s season proper can finally begin. Let’s just hope those dodgy builders I hired have done enough to keep it closed while those 40mph gusts rattle through the adjacent window marked ‘loan’… This past six […]

Cherry Chimes Round III: Interview with Bournemouth blogger Peter Bell
Welcome back to JWAW TV! After the break, a Bournemouth match preview with Peter Bell of Cherry Chimes. But first, a word from our sponsor… (Wait, what do you mean they terminated the contract? Nooo… I’m finished!) Ahem. Well, there seem to be some technical problems with our commercials, so just pretend some guy is […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 115: Not the Transfer Deadline Day Special
No, it isn’t worth talking about the Sports Snooze deadline day broadcast. Not even the new prime time television-friendly 11pm closure could inject enough excitement for me to go and subscribe to Mr Murdoch’s black box of wonders for one evening. Heck, without Harry Redknapp leaning out of his car, it just isn’t the same! […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast #99: The 99PWU Challenge
Now before you break open the ice cream flavoured champagne, I must remind you that there is a 99% margin for error in my makeshift numbering system. But for argument’s sake, let’s call this PWU99 to avoid the embarrassment of explaining why I inexplicably missed out five unnumbered episodes in the last two-and-a-half years. In […]

Bournemouth 2-0 Wigan: Scooby Uwe In: The Curious Case Of The Phantom Fixtures
Perhaps the most exciting news from this weekend is the shocking confirmation that ghosts do indeed exist. Nope, I ain’t talking about the not-at-all fabricated New Mexico police station CCTV footage of a shadowy figure that made the mainstream news on Saturday morning. I’m referring to the ‘phantom matches’ that have totally drained Wigan Athletic […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 98: Meat The Press
Oh hoh! If you thought Monday Night Football was big, prepare yourself for the meatiest episode of the Progress With Unity Podcast since Bob’s Big Beef Emporium of Mesnes Road supplied us with complimentary sausages. Kaboom! Get ready for a whole hour of heated Latics debate. Kaboom! Can you handle the nine-man frenzy? Kaboom! With […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 71: There’s no answer to that
Doncaster Dan, Stand-In Stat Man is rubbish. Bring back Gareth to save us from the endless line-fluffing and mispronunciations of player names! It’s like *mainstream media outlet deleted* but without the Manchester accents and… ooh wait, what were those censored words? That’s a fun guessing game for you all to play while listening to this […]

Wigan 3-0 Bournemouth: Emile O’ Fortune
There is no reason why video games can’t be a force for sporting good – Formula One drivers, for example, play XBOX racing titles to familiarise themselves with that weekend’s Grand Prix circuit. However, there are two equally valid reasons why footballers shouldn’t prepare by booting up their copy of Football Manager. Firstly, they are […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 70: When You’re Tiling
Right, so it’s time to cross live(ish) to Studio PWU for our weekly rifle through the underpants drawers of Latics opinion. They’re definitely opinions rather than facts because our in-house reference material is riddled with glaring inaccuracies – that’s the last time I conduct my research on that there Jesus Was a Wiganer site. Those […]

View From The North Stand: Peter Bell of Cherry Chimes Round II
You know, I feel naked without a midweek game. *Snaps fingers* I know – we shall make our own entertainment with another of those match previews I used to do long, long ago! Wait, no, that would be far too much effort so I shall interview someone instead. The lazy blogger’s solution: ask someone else […]
