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 […]

[Audio] Fan Sites Forum with Gary Caldwell and Jonathan Jackson

A million and one questions, just sixty (eight) minutes to ask them. Hey, the mathematics don’t *have* to work – this is football, not the Countdown numbers game! Speaking of which, am I the only one that has never solved a single Conundrum in my life? Gah, I wish I had been able to ask […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 139: Rain of terror

As I type, a mysterious substance is trickling down my window pane, leaving behind a suspicious trail of sandy residue. Upon further inspection, this appears to be the material they call ‘rain’ – yes, I believe I’ve heard it mentioned by the 100,000ft man that towers over the United Kingdom. Don’t tell me you haven’t […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 138: The Road to Rambley Stadium

Zzzzz… snore. Muh-Maloney into Watsurrrn… yeah… zzzZzzzZzz… Huh, what? Why’d you have to wake me when I was dreaming of Wembley again? Well, while we’re on the subject for the 3,094,874th day in a row, remember that *other* time Latics scored a last minute winner at the DW holiday home? The prize that day was […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 137: You gotta know when to Oldham

Crikey! We’re barely into October and the Jose Mourinho squad rotation is already creeping into Captain Cald’s team sheet composition. I like to think he sits in front of his Brother typewriter and painstakingly constructs them with one finger, letter by letter… because that’s certainly what I would do. In fact it formed the central […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 136: Autumnal equi-detox

Yesterday was the first day of autumn, and it really doesn’t surprise me. Because even though Saturday’s game played out under sunny skies, the DW surface betrayed the true time of year. Minds were cast back to Septembers past, with pitches soggier than a slice of toast covered in a particularly runny bean sauce and […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 135: Type ‘casting

I’ve got some great news for you – Latics currently lie second in the most important league of all, the League One Top Rated Pie Championship! I suggest we drop this footballing nonsense and switch our entire production line to the good ol’ meat an’ tater in a bid for the prestigious Holland’s Pie Cup. […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 134: New term Blues

Yesterday was class photo day for Form Group DW at Latics Comprehensive. If this particular school is like every other, we can safely assume that the shoot overran by seven hours, causing all curricular activities to be postponed. As happens every year, a group of delinquents set off the canteen fire alarm and blamed it […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 133: Transfer Windows 3.0

If you hold on for just a minute, we’ll tell you all about Wigan Athletic’s transfer deadline day activity… I’m waiting for the clock to tick past 6pm. You just know those pesky rival podcasts are readying a swoop for Progress With Unity’s talented youngsters before the football blogging transfer window ends, so we’re going […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 132: Formation damnation

“Objectively, the number 451 is larger than 442.” Please discuss this statement at great length with incredible fanboyish enthusiasm/aggression until you lose all sensation in your fingers and find yourself camped permanently at Christopher Park with just two extra large packs of budget brand tortilla chips and last Wednesday’s underpants to your name. Subjectively, there […]
