Spring is in the air, and it can only mean one thing – Wigan Time!

Any nerves ahead of the latest in a […]

Everton 0-3 Wigan: Cry God for Bobby, Wigan and Uncle Dave!
There must be something seriously wrong – Latics on terrestrial television twice in one season? Somebody at ITV Sport knew the much-anticipated Wigan Time was long overdue. A series of excellent performances in what must be Wigan’s greatest cup season since… ever meant any confidence, though cautious, was not necessarily misplaced. There is a marked […]

Progress With Unity Podcast No. 35: Of Liverpudlian massacres
As the Continental Food Market returns to Wigan (springbok burgers included), Progress With Unity reconvene to build a Scouse sandwich of Luis Suarez and FA Cup magic with a sprinkling of Champions League controversy. Be warned, it’s both sweet and sour. Opinions are divided on this weekend’s quarter final showdown at Goodison, while there is […]

Progress With Unity Latics Podcast No. 24: When is a penalty not a penalty?
Decimated by man flu and fallout from (admittedly muted) Boxing Day celebrations, the Progress With Unity team crawl wearily back to the studio, aspirin in hand, for a bit of post-Xmas musing. Excuse the occasionally clipped, slurred speech as we frequently had to be revived with piping hot tea and whisky just to make it […]

Everton 2-1 Wigan: No penalties allowed
You know, it really doesn’t feel like Christmas. When I took the dog out for its annual Boxing Day walk this morning, I did not require a large coat, never mind a hat and gloves. There have been few abandonments of late, save for maybe the odd waterlogged pitch or referee getting stuck in traffic […]

Progress With Unity Latics Podcast No. 22: End of the World edition
As the predicted end of all human civilisation –henceforth to be known as ‘The Massacre of the DW‘– rapidly approaches, the Progress With Unity team reconvene to scrutinise another slightly disappointing weekend over a Christmas whisky or two. Spirits are quickly raised, however, by breaking news that the Boxing Day bananas will be allowed entry […]

Progress With Unity Podcast No. 12: Four Weddings and Arouna (Kone)
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. […]

Wigan 2-2 Everton: Uncle Joe’s and Toffees in sweet contest
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 […]

Progress With Unity Podcast No. 11: Everton preview, the Latics-FA soap opera and more
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 […]

Wigan 1-1 Everton: Latics fail to capitalise on rare good fortune
Latics missed out on a chance to snatch three potentially profitable points in a largely even contest at a bleak DW Stadium. After Tim Howard’s howler resulted in a Philip Neville own goal, Latics went too defensive for their own good and soon conceded, super sub Victor Anichebe doing the business for the Toffees once […]
