Wigan 2-3 Swansea: Running out of luck (and defenders)
Agh, must I write about this now? 18 painstaking hours of blanking out the memory will be undone in a fraction of that time tapping away at my chocolate-stained keyboard, but what the heck. I believe there is just enough space for brief reflection before we draw a line under this matter and move on […]

Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 43: Sea you on the other side (of the relegation zone?)
I don’t normally apologise for my post title puns but in this case I shall make an exception, because that one was bad enough to make you choke on your early evening prawn sandwiches. Much like the first goal on Saturday, then. As you might expect from a weekly Latics podcast, the Tottenham game is […]

Progress With Unity Podcast No. 14: Swansea review, West Ham & Bradford preview
This week, the PWU Podcast team bring you a special ‘attempting not to tempt fate‘ edition. As you may know, the happy Hammers are in town this weekend, and will no doubt be intent on exacting revenge for the consequences of our last league meeting. Then, before we’ll have had time to even catch our […]

Swansea 2-1 Wigan: Fatigue? Seems I don’t know Jack
International breaks suck. The lack of Latics action over the past two weeks has forced me to watch videos of cats falling off worktops and attempting to open doors rather than highlights from our most recent game. The only alternative was witnessing yet more rain fall on an already waterlogged Polish pitch and, well, I […]

Progress With Unity Podcast No. 13: Paul Kendrick Q&A, Swansea preview
Lacklustre international performances got you down? Never fear, for the 13th edition of the PWU Podcast –complete with yours truly– is back to preview the next chunk of the domestic season. Sort of. You see, we didn’t want to harp on about the injury woes of an international break because that’s been more than covered […]

Wigan 0-2 Swansea: Superb Swans sail on as poor Latics pay the price
Two exceptional strikes from Swansea’s Gylfi Sigurdsson, each coming either side of half time, were more than enough to see off a lacklustre Latics. Though the Swans had Nathan Dyer sent off after 60 minutes, some resilient defending prevented the hosts from getting any sort of foothold in the game and by the 85th minute, […]

Swansea 0-0 Wigan: Vorm saves Swans in South Wales stalemate
In an historic contest, Wigan Athletic were the visitors as a thoroughly modern Liberty Stadium played host to the English Premier League’s first match outside England. If the FA were using it as a gauge for the ‘39th game‘ proposal, I don’t think they would have been too impressed, at least not by the scoreline. […]

Cue more bird-related puns: Swansea v Wigan preview
Tomorrow afternoon, Roberto Martinez will return to the Liberty Stadium for the first time since departing some 28 months ago. He and fellow ex-Swan Jordi Gomez were met with a frosty reception when a good 3,000-strong troupe of Swansea fans travelled to the DW for a Carling Cup Fourth Round tie last October, so I […]

Carling Cup Fourth Round: Wigan 2-0 Swansea
A disappointed, but not disheartened Swansea City made the journey back across the border last night having been dumped out of the cup by none other than the King of Traitors himself, one Roberto ‘Iscariot’ Martinez. Now, as an outsider, I can’t claim to know the circumstances in which Bob departed 18 months ago, but […]
