Now, I know what you’re all thinking: “that Dan bloke takes longer unscheduled toilet breaks than the England cricket team after a Saturday night down at the local watering hole (allegedly).” Well, the truth is that I left the refrigerator running… yes, he’s in training for the Great North Run! Badum tish. It’s all a…
Crikey, 80 episodes old today? Well, you’re only as old as the pop singer you feel, and the Progress With Unity Podcast team are as chipper as Elton John in his prime. It Ain’t Gonna be Easy for Latics to conjure fresh legs, though the signing of Jack Collison and promise of 33%(?) more rest…
This week’s episode of the Progress With Unity Podcast is full of exciting cameos, making it unlistenable- erm, unmissable for any Latics fan. Unmissable like a Ben Watson header, a Jordi Gomez penalty or a Demichelis pony tail. Not only do we have exclusive insight from TV star Paul Thorp, but Jimmy White pops by…
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…
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…
He might be gone, but Owen Coyle’s legacy lives on in the quality of players he brought to the club… it’s just a pity about the shorts/ping pong/Irn Bru/results (delete as appropriate, or not if you prefer). And while we’re on the subject we must not forget his inherent Vaudevillian comedy value which, while not…
Alright, we know what you’re really here for. It isn’t the highbrow discussion on this week’s Fansites’ Forum or our exclusive interview with true Latics legend Emmerson Boyce, but that characteristic PWU toilet humour. Speaking of unwelcome disturbances, you may hear the odd bit of strategic background sound effectery. Fear not, for the eerie banging…
Strike all of this season’s results from the record, for they were mere preamble. The real business transactions begin now, exactly nineteen games from the end of the 2013-14 Championship campaign, so grab your cup of instant coffee and briefcase – it’s time to schedule a working lunch. Don’t worry, as Declan Curry is nowhere…
Don’t worry, folks, this is *not* a transfer deadline day special, so there are no overly dramatised, hastily thrown together press releases or excitable guys with gargantuan headphones. Mostly because we cannot afford ballpoint pens or technology newer than a BBC Micro. As January draws to an end, the PWU regulars indulge in a spot…
He-hey, kids! This edition’s Word of the Week is ‘flat’. Remember to scream ‘plagiarism’ whenever you hear it on the podcast! Note to parents: letting your kids play this game will almost certainly result in loss of hearing and/or fine crystal glasses. I’m not suggesting Wigan’s performance against Doncaster was flatter than a flat cap…
Doncaster Dan, Stand-In Stat Man is rubbish. Bring back Gareth to save us from the endless line-fluffing and mispronunciations of player names! It’s like *mainstream media outlet deleted* but without the Manchester accents and… ooh wait, what were those censored words? That’s a fun guessing game for you all to play while listening to this…
Right, so it’s time to cross live(ish) to Studio PWU for our weekly rifle through the underpants drawers of Latics opinion. They’re definitely opinions rather than facts because our in-house reference material is riddled with glaring inaccuracies – that’s the last time I conduct my research on that there Jesus Was a Wiganer site. Those…
