Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 61: Ed Jones Interview Special
Since those pesky fixture generators have scheduled a match for Wednesday night, this edition of the PWU Podcast has been brought forward 48 hours. But before you splatter your evening coffee all over the VDU in sheer disgust, continue to the next paragraph – you might be pleasantly surprised. I do not know how, but […]

Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 40: The Big (Pre-)Wembley Bash
Here it is, arguably the greatest week in the history of Wigan Athletic football club. At stake: a place in the FA Cup Final and potentially Europe, plus all the meat and potato pies you can stomach! Alright, I fabricated one of those prizes in the name of ‘comedy’, but you have to admit the […]

QPR 1-1 Wigan: Pot split following photo finish
OK, let’s get this out of the way before we go any further. For backing Harry the Viking instead of Roberto Goldback in yesterday’s Grand National, I am a disgrace to the club and shall spend the rest of the week perched on the naughty step next to that pile of dirty laundry and Dad’s […]

Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 39: Keeping you all aglow
Why did we ever doubt it? Once again, Latics are punching (and in some cases kicking, but the less said of that the better) their way to a respectable position considering a season of largely average results. Sticking with the weather theme, it’s a bit like staying inside with a cup of cocoa while neighbours […]

Progress With Unity Podcast No. 21: Dowd’s dinner
In a shameless effort to rope in more listeners, the PWU Podcast has gone all Talksport on us and started rustling a few jimmies. Admittedly this mostly amounts to taking the mick out of Phil Dowd’s luncheon arrangements*, but there are one or two other mildly ‘controversial’ statements thrown in for good measure. See if […]

Wigan 2-2 QPR: Latics left Green in the face
Injury and suspension-hit Latics mustered an admirable display to rescue a point against an all-star Queen’s Park Rangers side, largely thanks to James McCarthy’s outstanding brace either side of half time. Statistics might suggest poor finishing on behalf of the Wigan strikers, but in reality a series of good saves from Rob Green were all […]

Progress With Unity Podcast No. 20: Baring all on Newcastle, QPR Question Time
Oh dear, it seems Wigan’s second string defence wasn’t the only thing exposed this week. The atmosphere became a tad rowdy in the PWU studio yesterday evening when a very brave (or stupid) guest popped in for a ‘look Mum, I’m on the telly’ moment. Except this wasn’t telly, or even radio for that matter. […]

QPR 3-1 Wigan: Bad day at the Loftus
Latics were outdone by a resurgent Queens Park Rangers side, who produced two superb goals and a well-placed penalty to see off their fellow relegation battlers. Wigan looked every inch a bottom-of-the-table side in the first half. After the initial ten minutes, during which Steve Gohouri and Victor Moses both flashed the ball across the […]

Wigan v QPR (27 August 2011) photos
It’s time to catch up on some JWAW photography from recent home games. First up, we have snaps of the warmup from Wigan’s victory over QPR just under two months ago, which is incidentally the last time they did anything but lose. Has it really been that long since our last point? A selection of […]

Francs a lot: When it’s (not) your day…
Having had a rare chance to review Saturday’s game on that idiot box thing Peter Kay calls television, there are a few things I must mention in addition to that afternoon’s post. Taking into account both my own blatant bias and the BBC’s need to produce ‘entertaining’ television (impartiality, who needs it?), we ought to […]
