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 […]

Wigan 1-0 Bradford: The Walking Deadman
Ordinarily, you’d think it unusual that a Football League referee has their own Wikipedia page. But in the case of Darren Deadman, the name alone makes him highly worthy of inclusion in any encyclopedia of questionable Rafa Benitez ‘facts’. Not that Mr Deadman would approve. It is a sad reflection of modern footballing society that […]

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. 141: Yanic To The Future Part II
Great Scott! You can forget all this televisual film time travel fakery – I really did go back in time on Sunday morning. At 2am, I loaded up teletext to watch the clock skip back exactly 60 minutes, giving me the rare opportunity to relive the previous hour of my life. Now, I would like […]

Bradford 1-1 Wigan: Yanic To The Future
Back To The Future Week has been groundbreaking in so many ways. In just seven days, we’ve witnessed the advent of the hoverboard, self-lacing trainers, smart glasses, flatscreen televisions and flying cars… but there is still no magical XBOX joypad that controls real life footballers. Or maybe there is, and the owners are just terrible […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 140: Ceefax of life
Well, it’s up there. Not my blood pressure, but the teletext league table! Ten weeks into the season, Ceefax (or whatever they call it these days) print their first (meaningful) listings of the season, and I just so happened to spot them this week. I mean, come on – anyone would get remote control trigger […]

Progress With Unity Podcast No. 15: Spurs preview, live from the DW Stadium!
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 […]

Wigan 0-0 Bradford AET (Bradford win 4-2 on penalties): Fighting fire with… water pistols
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 […]
