Ah, that most wonderful time of year again. Time to carefully extract that bucket and spade from your garage’s Jenga pile for a spot of mud castle building at DW Beach? Yew betcha, sonny. While Sharpy dials up Instapitch for a takeaway surface with sweet ‘n’ sour sand and grit dip, you can all thank…
Please welcome Warren Garton Joyce, Wigan Athletic’s newest and foremost ‘edgelord’. The sort of guy who, like a dog, watches you eat for fifteen minutes before snatching that precious final morsel of tuna casserole from your plate. A man who catches all his perch two minutes before packing up his tackle in a Ryan Giggs…
“League One is a slice of thrice-iced Victoria sponge. But that passing in your own six yard box stuff simply won’t fly in the cut-throat Championship,” growled Latics Fan A. “Don’t change a darn thing! Confidence in consistency can carry you through a league of any quality,” cried Latics Fan B. “We aren’t sure what…
Ahah, my studio runner is presently handing me a piece of news. Apparently, a petition by the Football Widows Association has been officially approved by the FA, meaning the next two Saturdays have been cleared of Wigan Athletic action. Well, we’d better make the most of it… Dave, get the 10-hour longplay tapes and set…
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…
“And it was onne the thirrtieth of Sepptember that the Wyganne Piemen and Nottyngham Trees dydd battle jn the fields offe the Northwestern Lands; wyth Uncle Joe and whomsoever that did creatte the Vymto tonnic in attendance; kycking leather from vyllagge to vyllagge with great viggour; and internette bloggers wrytyng artijcles of questionable punctuatjon and…
This week’s podcast is aptly titled Dreamin’, because the FA Cup does seem to exist an ethereal plane just outside the earth’s atmosphere. Our opinions of ‘Britain’s favourite cup competition’ might be slightly different by the time next week’s edition rolls around, but those weird Ben Watson masks are proof that Wigan’s successful cup run…
Say what you like about good old St David, but his celebrations invariably bring us a glorious first day of summer. Well alright, it’s still quite cold. But the big, round Calor gas heater in the sky reminded me of the opening match of the 2004/5 season, when Latics played out a solid 1-1 draw…
The Fab Four of John (AKA Barry), Paul (Rob), George (Gareth) and Ringo (Dan) present a ghost bustin’ edition of the RefWatchCast. In tribute to Egon Spengler, who sadly passed away this week, the [Beep]les break out their Proton packs to engage in an extended spectre sucking session. But don’t worry, we’re not going to…
Good morning! Hi, how aah youu? This iz me, Ahhnuld Schwarz- er… Paul Scharner, guest presenting this JWAW Progress With Unity update. Today’s episode centres around yours truly, Paul Scharner, retiring from all forms of football and how I am the greatest player Wigan Athletic haz ever known, gahahah! Whaat, they talked about udder stuff…
Phew, third home game in a row. I haven’t even had to change out of my slippers for two weeks – you’d think it was my birthday or something. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention it *was* my birthday recently, so that decidedly weak attempt at ‘humour’ probably won’t make any sense to you whatsoever….
This post is a shoutout to Barry AKA Worbo, host and editor of the Progress With Unity Podcast. Often it may seem there is little point attempting to keep on topic, for when seven shouty(ish) blokes sit round a table to talk about Wigan Athletic, conversation naturally drifts to biscuits and officials who would be…
