    Alternative Match Highlights: ‘Welcome Back to the Championship’ Blackburn-Birmingham Super Edition

    Don’t worry if you missed them first time round – each of these highlights will be available on VHS this Christmas as part of Coyle’s Golden Gaffes 2016: Who Needs The Olympics? Blackburn. The Rovers fans’ sudden decision to boycott the game and head for the bar as soon as Wigan’s second goal hit the […]

  • An Ode to Owen

    Note: The author apologises in advance for this article, which may contain extreme misinformation and is for entertainment purposes only. You know, I’m only now realising how much I miss Owen Coyle. In his few short months at the club, he offered much more golden comedic material than every other Wigan Athletic manager combined – […]

    PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 67: Radio Ca-Ca

    Progress With Unity toasts its second new manager in the usual fashion – with a pint in the Springfield. Yep, after last week’s torrent of criticism aimed in the general direction of that bloke we’ve already forgotten about, the team have been unceremoniously banned from their usual Book Cycle studios!

    PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 66: Shortsman’s Last Stand

    Question: What does it take for Progress With Unity‘s latent anti-Coyle sentiment to emerge? Answer: Three straight losses and an instant sacking.

    Leeds 2-0 Wigan: Bru ha ha

    So yeah, did something happen? Like James Perch and Jean Beausejour on Sunday (allegedly), Shortsman is conspicuous by his extended absence, almost as if he has quit or something. *Checks Twitter* Oh, dear. Owen Coyle was obviously an avid reader of that there JWAW abomination – I, too, would quickly tender my resignation if some […]

    Wigan v Queens Park Rangers match preview with Ed Jones [PWU Podcast]

    Ahh, remember this game? It was supposed to be played aeons ago, but due to broadcast delay, only reaches our screens this evening. Except it isn’t being shown on television but in real life at the (re-rebranded) DW Stadium. Aw, they don’t show replays in the real world! Heh, much like Sky Sports’ coverage of […]

    Progress With Unity Podcast Seaside Summer Special: The Cheap n’ Cheerful Edition

    Just like how DC Thomson always released a ‘Summer Holiday’ edition of their usual publications, Progress With Unity attempts in vain to fill the rather large gap between football and football with a healthy dose of juicy speculation. And maybe some football as well, but that takes something of a boisterous back seat as the […]
