    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]

    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 […]

  • Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 61: Ed Jones Interview Special

    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 […]

    Charlton 0-0 Wigan: Espinoza Comeback Special

    What with inflation due to the amount of two pence pieces lost behind sofas, there isn’t an awful lot of quality product five quid can buy you in this day and age. You could invest in 254 shares of my ailing stock market project, JWAWDAQ, or perhaps a six hundredth of a Vauxhall Corsa. Without […]

    Wigan 1-1 Rubin Kazan: I have the Power- erm, Powell

    Catch up on housework, lick a few stamps, iron the odd handkerchief – Thursdays used to be so incredibly boring. But for one year only*, we are blessed with more midweek football than one can feasibly keep track of without a Filofax. Thank goodness I don’t have to retrieve the ironing board from the attic […]

    Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 60: Now available for voice over work

    ~ PWU Episode 60 JWAW Agenda. ~ In the first paragraph I will introduce this particular episode of the podcast, probably with some ‘witty’ or cynical comment because I ran out of relevant humorous quips and topics for discussion precisely five years ago. In this paragraph I shall uncomfortably stutter my way through a joke […]

  • Blackpool 1-0 Wigan: Higher Ince

    Blackpool 1-0 Wigan: Higher Ince

    Please excuse me if I seem a tad cranky today as I am not used to getting up before noon for the sake of a football match, even if this particular contest *was* taking place in the Fish and Chip Capital of the North. No amount of battered pollock (the cod quotas were exhausted, allegedly) […]

    Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 59: Potassium powered prattling

    *Monotonic A-Team ringtone* What’s that, Chief O’Riley? The fiendish International Fixtures Man has been truncating the domestic calendar for those involved in Europa Cup ties again? This looks like a job for… the Affectionate Sarcasm Crew! No, Obscure References Man, you can’t be involved in this one. Stay here and sort our Doctor Who DVD […]

  • Progress With Unity Podcast No. 58: In praise of ‘John’ Beausejour

    Progress With Unity Podcast No. 58: In praise of ‘John’ Beausejour

    Be it for reasons good or bad, there is one name that seems to crop up week after week on the Progress With Unity Podcast. I’m not talkin’ ’bout Mr Ref Ree, whomever he may be, I’m talking ’bout Jeen. Or to be more precise, Shortsman‘s preferred left wing utility player Jean Beausejour – and […]

  • Wigan 2-1 Blackburn: Eat your heart out Ofcom

    Wigan 2-1 Blackburn: Eat your heart out Ofcom

    At some point this afternoon, the subject of excitable commentators became relevant. When it comes to Wigan Athletic, you can’t have such a conversation without wondering where the man with the perpetually lost voice, Matt McCann, might be today. Someone suggested he was last seen in a back office job at Liverpool, which is a […]
