    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.

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 […]

    Blackburn 4-3 Wigan: The season starts here

    Jaws hit the floor as the starting line-up for Latics’ end-of-season ‘bash’ was posted on the noticeboard. At the risk of eliminating what remains of my street cred, I had forgotten all about those fringe-teamers Doris The Tea Lady, Dave The Work Experience Lad and The Matchday Fish ‘n’ Chip Vendor until this afternoon. I’m […]

    PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 86: Live from South Whitley

    “We always do well in the FA Cup. Can’t the rest of the season be cup ties?” I think a genie was floating around when I made that request a couple of weeks ago, because after this weekend, we’re into the realms of playoff football. Attempting to predict the outcome would be as foolish as […]
