At 5pm on Tuesday, I was rudely awoken from my mid-afternoon slumber by a knock at the door. I begrudgingly hobbled towards it just in time to catch a bloke in overalls carrying a long ladder over his left shoulder. Visibly irate, his stare was as icy as the water in the bucket he barely…
Watch yourself, PWU watchers, for the latest addition to the PWU crew is an officer. Not of the law, you might be pleased to hear, but of Supporter Liaison at Wigan Athletic. And what does such a person do, you ask? Well, Officer Ian Wadsworth is here to answer that question in his own words….
Never you fear, dear Latic, for your Knight in Shining Double Glazing is here! The January transfer window offers an escape route from a rather smoky room… pity it’s on the 25th floor and you’ll hit the window cleaner well before the ground. But maybe those that have already departed will break your fall? Perhaps,…
So this is the year 2015, eh? Doesn’t look much like the future to me – where are the hovercars and entire Sunday meals in a single pill? And why haven’t Wigan Athletic won the Premier League trophy yet? This is nothing like Hollywood told me it would be – I want my money back,…
Remember when I said I wouldn’t see you before Christmas? Well, I lied. Have a bonus episode of the Progress With Unity Podcast on me! Relive slightly more successful times and listen as it all comes crashing down with this compilation of the best moments of PWU from January to May 2014. I’ve already given…
It may not look it, but this is actually the Progress With Unity Christmas special. Sadly for a ‘radio’ ‘show’, our hilarious high jinks were limited to mostly visual pranks such as photocopying sheet music (which I believe is still punishable by Chinese burn) and hiding staplers in the reference section. These are the advantages…
These days, PWU could easily stand for ‘Philosophical Wibbling Unchained’, what with all the high class ‘banter’ being thrown around like a Wellington full of jam at a village fête. The Book Cycle is becoming like an exclusive golf club for bitter, moaning northerners lamenting the demise of decent football at the DW Stadium. Except…
It can’t have escaped your attention that the first week of Decembermas has brought the inevitable influx of seasonal films and television advertisements, which kind of sucks for those of us hoping to leave Christmas shopping until 23 December… 2015. Look, who are you, my mother? Stop reminding me that people need various gift wrapped…
Now that those meddlesome cameras have finally migrated south for winter, the Progress With Unity Podcast team can concentrate on motoring into the Mackay era without 100 gatsos flagging up their every inconsistency. Orange cones can be kicked clear and traffic lights ignored, as there are no turns ahead for 3,487 miles – this is…
One is aware that these are the first words one has committed to blog-shaped iPaper (copyright Apple) since that fateful 4pm announcement last Thursday. It is a great pity that managerial sackings do not take into account the regular publishing times of internet weblogs, since Thursday is our regular PWUDay here at JWAW Towers (proprietor:…
As PWU’s monthly bandwidth quota nears its limit, the team must squeeze all their worldly gripes into a radio schedule-friendly 45 minute package. With seven panellists in the studio, it’s as daunting a task as juggling one of the Championship’s largest squads with half a dozen large-mouthed Wiganers shouting down a Dictaphone at the internet….
Nope, I ain’t gonna do it again. Just because Friday’s T’Classico is LIVE on BeeSkyBee’s frivolous Friday Night Football, I won’t stoop so low as to cart out the big Americanisation stereotypes, mainly because I reached the end of my US Commentator’s Idiom Dictionary shortly after Halloween. And please don’t ask me to start at…
