PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 88: Our last hurrah

That’s it, you can all go home. PWU’s final word of the 2014 season has been uttered, its ultimate ruminations committed to tape in the usual sarcastically crafted fashion. Oh go on then, we’ve just enough time for another hour of emotional reminiscence courtesy those household names from that one internet forum. I mean, um… […]

QPR 2-1 Wigan [AET]: 62 and out

At the 2013 PWU End of Season Dinner, I wasn’t the only one to claim that a playoff place would be a positive finish to the season. On that day it was decided that returning to the Premier League via an extremely ornate side door with heavy press presence would, on balance, be a greater […]

Wigan 0-0 QPR: Hack To The Future

As I munched my Friday lunch, it was with great disappointment I learned that Latics had already lost 4-2. But before I could pick up the phone for a refund on my ticket, I received a Twitter notification saying Gary Caldwell’s time machine had malfunctioned, and the game was on a Friday. Good job, as […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 87: Well I’ll be a Chunky’s Uncle

Heeey, you guyyys! It’s official: the man known only as Chunk (as printed just above his belly button) is PWU’s Lucky Mascot of the Week. And possibly next week’s too, but we’ll see what happens in the forthcoming season re-opener against QPR on Friday. If Wigan lose, he shall most likely be forgotten about, but […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 81: Toilet Thursday

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 […]

QPR 1-0 Wigan: The Return of the Green Goblin

Well, I didn’t think I would ever see the day. Gary Caldwell had been out for so long I was beginning to think he’d got lost between the seats of his Vauxhall Nova, but nope – there he sat in the Loftus Road dugout without his wheelchair and crutches. Or a Bat-mask, disappointingly. But it’s […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 80: Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting

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 […]

Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 62: Arctic excursions, Refwatch and Euro extravaganzas

Fresh from their exhausting expedition to the North Pole AKA Stadium DW, your humble podcasters are grateful of the relative warmth of Studio PWU. Speak not of their abandoned excursion, otherwise sponsors may learn the grisly fate of the vessel… we’ll be in deep trouble if that holiday camp in Southport discover we pinched their […]

Wigan 0-0 Queens Park Rangers: Here comes the big boss, let’s get it on

Since its grand opening, I have nattered endlessly about visiting Sharpy’s Fine Fish and Chip Establishment (Est. 2012), but never made arrangements to visit until last night. However, I would be made to pay for my lack of preparation, as some of you might already have guessed. But don’t ruin the story for the remaining […]

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 […]
